NATIONAL GUARD

The Journal man was chatting with
Adjutant General Presson Wednesday
afternoon and mentioned a certain line
Of criticism he had seen in certain
publication as to the present makeup
and efficiency Of the National Guard
as a military organization. The gen.
eral very quickly answered it in very
few words as follows:
Congress. by the militia act Of 1892
did not provide for enrolment and or
ganization Of. the militia by the United
states as it ought to have done but
asked the states to do this and provided
that each man should bring his own
gun. When Congress neglected it's duty
others neglected theirs. The system
failed because Congress had not made
provision for arming the men. The
militia that failed in reality was not
the militia contemplated by the consti-
tuition. Eut the proposed. National
Guard Legislation is merely return I
believe. to the sound first principles"

WOman's Grief for
Dead Horse Called
Menace to Traffic

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.--Her grief
over a dead horse which she saw In
Fast Thirty-fourth street cost wom-
an, who said she was Miss Mary Eliot,
a trip to police station. The police
man who made the arrest thought the
moaning was menace to traffic, as it
caused a crowd to collect.
Miss Eliot explained she entertained
a great affection for horses, and de-
clar she was merely trying to find the
rulse of the dead horse" in the hope of
finding traces of life.
Capt Sexton, who was in charge Of
the desk at the police station when she
was brought in, said he had similar
feeling of pity for dumb beasts, but
said that such sentiment could not be
permitted to obstruct traffic in the
streets. However, the woman was
discharged.

FACES THE CALL0WS

CANON CITY, Colo, Feb. 26.-James
c. Bulger, while intoxicated on May 6,
1914, fatally shot Lloyd F. Nicodemus,
ole of the proprietors of the Savoy
Hotel, where Bulger was maintaining
headquarters of recruiting station to
raise a regiment for what he expected
would be a war between the United
States and Mexico.
Bulger was tried in district court
and made defense on grounds Of in
sanity. He was found guilty of muir
der in the first degree, the jury fixing
the penalty at death. The sentence
was affirmed by the Colorado supreme
court, which on October 4, 1915, re-
ufsed rehearing. Appeal was then
taken to the state pardon board,
which at several hearings listened to
evidence in support OF the plan that
Bulger was insane. On October 90 the
pardons board refused to interfere
with the execution of the death SEN
tence.
On November 5, just before the time
originally fixed for his execution, the
state supreme court ordered a hearing
Unto Bulger's sanity. The hearing was
protracted and twice the supreme court
granted an extension Of time for its
completion. The jury In district court
returned verdict holding Bulger sane
Bulger's sister, Pauline Bulger, Of
Brooklyn, N. Y, came to Colorado and
made determined effort to save Bull
ger from the death penalty.
Bulger had spent the life of a soldier
of fortune. He fought in the Spanish
American war and later was an officer
In the Philippine constabulary. He
participated in revolutions in Guate-
mala, Honduras, Peru and Mexico,
where he was a colonel under Madero.
Fleeing from Mexico when the late
General Huerta gained control, he
later joined the Carranza revolution.
He came to Denver shortly before the

My visit to Mr.. Watson had no
bearing whatever on politics. In fact,
no reference to anything political was
made. We did not even mention the
Frank case, although some peopie
thought went there to discuss 1t with
him, since that was the subject upper
most in the minds OF the people at thai
time. The matter between Mr.. Watson
and myself at that time was a purely
personal nature and not in any way
connected with the politics of the
state. That visit ended my connection
with Mr.. Watson"
The Governor is highly pleased over
the outlook for the campaign which
Is now under way and his friends in
all sections of the state are rallying to
his support. In several counties which
he failed to carry last year ne has re-
ceived assurances that he will get the
support of hundreds of voters who did
not support him in the first race, and
that the counties will be in the Harris
column in 1916.
