General Bliss Will Organ

Tactical Units.
ACTION IN LINE WITH
FUNSTON SUGGESTION
Strengthening of Patrol Is
Well Under Way.
lines Shifting.

GAN ANTONIO, Texas, July Ia
~ Army officers here were con-
WINGED today that the coming OF Gen.
Tasker II. Bliss, assistant chief of
staff. would result in an organization
of the national guardsmen into tacti-
cal units. Fifty thousand of the state
troops now are at or near the border,
but with the exceptions of the divi-
sions from New York and Pennsyl-
Nania. the big addition to the federal
army is listed in units from brigades
to companies. General Bliss will
make a careful study of this new
branch of the service, and it is be-
leiVed, will supervise the concentra-
tion of the scattered units on a divi-
sional basis
Such action is in line with the sug-
gestion of General Funston, who rec
commended to the war department a
few weeks ago the division of his big
border command into three parts,
each part to be commanded by a
major general. His explanation of
this suggestion at the time was that
major operations south of the border
would make necessary divisional com
mands The adoption of his sugges-
ton left in the three departments
improperly divided and there was rec
ognized Immediately the advisability
cf a more thorough organization.
Thousands to Come.
General Funston and his staff have
yet the direction of the forces along
the entire border. due to a suspension
of the order Of division. Under the
dire ction OF headquarters here the
guardsmen have been routed to their
stations and encamped and drilling Is
well under way, but the thousands
that yet are to come emphasized the
desirability OF extending throughout
the army to both guardsmen and reg
uars tactical formation.
The strengthening of the border
patrols, especially that In the Bic
Bend district, was well under way to-
day. Two battalions of squadron oi
Texas cavalry now at Laredo were
prepared to move to Marathon from
where. they will be sent to the RiC
Grando. Four companies of engineers
were sent to Brownsville. Laredo and
Eagle Pass. A searchlight company

tions also left for border service to-
day. Reports from General Pershine
and from commanding officers alone

Higher Court: Is Denied
Bail.

day following the shooting but did
not take the stand for the state during
the preliminary trial
Humane Agent A. NJ. Welch yester-
day sent the three sons of Mrs. Roddie,
aged s. and 3 years, to brother in
Muskogee where they will be cared
for. The tragedy occurred on the
night of July in a tent located on
North Detroit. Since that time the
Humane society has been making
every effort to care for the Roddie
family and Mrs. Kincannon.

and police department cars to travel
at not more than ten miles an hour,
and in some cases eight miles is the
limit. We certainly need such regula-

patrol passed my place a dozen times
and every time it was going at a 25-
mile clip. Several times | have seen

Even the motorcycle cops travel too

THE fire department should not go

rate they can reach any section Of the
city in two minutes, which is fast
enough As it is they 10 faster than

information that there are no funds

years have elapsed since the bonds

and now the board Of education finds
itself without funds to complete a

World predicted when the site for the
high school was moved and the pur-

LYON TAKES ISSUE
To SUPREME COURT

Pamphlets and Argyll

Special to TIE World
NKI.AHOMA CITY, July 12.-The
~ Oklahoma county district court
this evening again directed Secretary
of State J. l.. Lyon to send papmhlets
and arguments to voters. The order
of the court followed another manda-
mus application of Campbell Russeh.
An order OF the court several days
ago concerned four counties the or
der today has to do with twenty couh-
ties, lists of which have been received
within the~past few days. Pamphlets
have now been sent to rs counties.
While the order of the court today
Swill be followed, Secretary Lyon will
take the whole matter to the supreme
court, where all issues raised receive
a Norough test
Points raised in Lyons answer TO
the mandamus action may involve the
validity Of some of the state questions
to be submitted at the primary. Re-
sistance to mandamus is supported by
the contention that the pamphlets are
very materially unlike the copy as
prepared by the secretary of state,

to approve the matter contained II.

arguments that was not submitted to
the secretary until after the state
board of affairs took charge Of the
job and had the printing DONE 1t is
claimed. Finally, it is claimed, the
whole job was taken out of the hands
of the secretary Of state by the board
of afafirs. These things are con-
tanned in the showing that will be
submitted to the supreme court.
In passing on the case this evening
Jcdge Ilayson of the district court said
that If the validity OF any of the ques-
lions to be voted on at the primary
election should be attacked before the
supreme court the conditions shown
by the secretary of state might fur
nish sufficient cause for an adverse
holding.

Special to The World.
RINGLING. Okla, July IA
Fastidious boarders at a local
hotel demanded that they be fed
squirrel meat for a few days.
The landroad sought to satisfy
their desire and the boarders
feasted for IL meals. each of
them declaring he had never
eaten a more delicious meat. The
season of extraordinary repast
was ended suddenly, however,
when 1t was discovered that the
boy who had been supplying the
meat killed prairie dogs instead
of squirrels.

taste just right" said one of the
boarders. II was positive never
saw squirrels with such bulldog
necks," said another.
