STILL IN u. S. SERVICE
Failure to Take Oath Unavailing
Court RuIes-Affects 10000.

Boston, Oct. 1S.-The United States
circuit court of appeals ruled today
that members of the state militia were
still in service for federal military
purpose notwit hstanding their failure
to take the oath under the national
defense act of last June. This deci-
sion reversos a recent order of the
federal district court. The case was
considered test of the application of
of similar cases in other states will
depend.
Washington, Oct. 1s.-Approxi-
mately 10000 members of the national
guard on the border, or nearly one
half of the total force of state troops
now in The federal service are con-
cerned in the ruling of the United
States court Of appeals in the Massa-
chusetts case. Had the lower court
said today It would have been neces-
sary to discharge that number of
guardsmen from the service imme-
diately.
The court opinion, from which
Judge Putnam dissented, vacated a
decree of the lower court under which
Alexander NJ. Emerson and Alfred P.
Lowell. cavalrymen, were released
from military custody. Directions
were given in each instance that the
trooper be returned TO the military
authorities. The general question in
volved, according to the majority
opinions of Judges Bingham and AL
drich, is whether the national defense
act of last June repeats provisions of
the Dick law authorizing the presi-
dent to use the state militia to repel
invasion and suppress instructions
whNther it is left altogether to the OPP
ton of Inilitiamen to sign a new en-
listment contract and whether, in
event of refusal to sign, the militia
man is mustered out.

A Fossil.
Dear Mr.. Nelson Yingle:
Here's a theme to inspire your lay.
THE car that the city is running
Down to the Santa Fe'
Is palace car right up-to date,
Compared to the one that they
Have been running down toward oakland
For a year, q month and day
1t starts at Kansas avenue,
And runs for little way
On Sixth street over the viaduct,
Still grim, and old, and gray;
Then over lovely rustic bridge,
Twixt trees and MeXicans gay,
You'll find it pleasant to promenade
Just to while the time away,
Until another Oakland car
With a flat-wheeled roundelay
Can jog along for an hour or so
Past the shops and fields or nay
Oh Mr. Nelson Yingle.
'Tis a theme well worth your. lay,
The car that has run toward Oakland
For a year, a month and a day,
1 hope your muse will tackle the JOB,
And do SO without delay,
For / cannot do it justice,
Very truly, Sothay Save.
