GENERAL MILLS DIES SUDDENLY
 IF PNEUMONIA
Republican A. p. Leased WIreJ

WASItlNGION, sept. I6.-MaJOr General Albert L. Mills, chief of the bureau of militia affairs, holder of the army medal of honor for bravery under fire, builder of the new West Point, and former president of the army war college, died here today after fifteen hours illness from penumonia
 Apparently he was in the best of health when he left his desk at the war department late Saturday after noon and so sudden was his death that many of his fellow officers refused to believe first reports that he was dead No funeral arrangements had been made tonight.
 A statement issued tonight by Sec retary Baker expressing the sentiment of the war department follows:
 T have a deep sense of personal loss in the death of General Albert L. Mills. From the time of my coming to Washington he has been more than Jealous in his self sacrificing devo- tion to the affairs of the militia bureau, of which he was the head and his patience, wisdom and kindness have greatly simplified both my task in becoming familiar with the war de- partment and the difficult undertak- ing which fell to the department upon the call of the militia to the Texas | border
 Plainly the devotion of General Mills to his work took strength with which otherwise he might have been i able to resist the sudden illness. Few | officers in the service have had a moro ! distinguish or varied career. In active military operations he was severa | times wounded, damaged his healtf
 and became the builder of the new | West Point which is undoubtedly tn,
 most monumental school in the world
 His last years have been spent in re. | organizing the militia and bringint ! about a higher degree of sympathy ant cooperation between II and the regula
 army. His death marks the passing o
 a brave soldier. a cultured educator. fine administrative officer and an up ! right gentleman"

CALIFORNIA |S INVADED BY
 PROH| PARTY
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

SACRAMENTO. Sept. 1S.-Prohibi- ton national campaigners sprang into the hot California wet and dry fight today immediately upon their entrance into the state over the northern border from Oregon. In seven cities, from Dunsmuir to Sacramento, they urged that the state be voted dry without re- gard to the economic pleas of the win cries and invited support for their na- tional ticket.
 A new record outdoor attendance for the entire trip was set at Chico, the old home of the late General John Bidwell once the prihibition candidate for president. The meeting, arranged by his widow, who was present, brought a great throng, at least half of whom were women voters. The speakers were enthusiastically re- ceived. J. Frank Hanly, the presiden- tial candidate, took ocasion there to touch more broadly on the prohibit tionists' views on a larger number of national questions than is his custom.
 The prohibition party stands for ma tional honor," he said Tt stands for the enfranchisement of women. not as a matter of eXpediency or because it is inevitable, but because we believe il to be her right. It stands for the crea- ton of a merchant marine. It stands for the separation of church and state It stands for reasonable preparedness a preparedness sufficient to protect our rights and enforce them on lanC and sea. But it is opposed to militar- ism.
 "The prohibition party stands fol Americanism, keen of heart, strong o hand, efficient because it is sober But above all other things it stands for tho abolition of the traffic in intoxicating liquors, and in offering you that issu' it tenders you the greatest issue vol have faced since the days of Abraham Lincoln"
 pr. Ira Landrith, the vice presiden. tial candidate. declared here tonigh that Hanly and he and all the pro hibitionists were here to join al forces, Anti Saloon League, w. c. T U.. and any one else in the fish against the saloons.
