l. WADA BELIEVED VICTIM OF MURDER
 CONSPIRACY

LOS ANGELES, May o.-J. Wada, the noted Alaska musher, has disappeared from Los An geles under circumstances which cause the police to believe that he has been murdered. Wada has disappeared completely and no trace of his movements after yesterday morning can be gained.
 The belief that Wada has been the victim of foul play is said to rest on statements made by his friends to the effect that he was warned several days ago that he would be killed.
 According to the story Wada was called up on the telephone at his hotel a few days ago and was informed by a mysterious parsonage that he must prepare himself for death. The party at the other end of the line also in- formed him that his body would be thrown into the bay where it would never be found.
 Wada was apparently not greatly alarmed, but, neverthe- less, consulted some of his friends and was advised by them to arm himself. Whether he did so or not is not known, but he disappeared yesterday morning and has not been seen since.

 Other commands here will have muster ana inspectionk during the week. No. excuse for absence except 8 physicians certificate of illness will be accepted and failure of any of the men to attend will mean a fine of $5 and discharge for the benefit of the service.
 For the first time in the history of the Connecticut National Guard it is now at it's maximum strength, $500. The field artillery of the state has been increased from one battery to SIX. Four of these batteries are made up ' at Branford and there is a new bat tery at Stamford.
 Flirst-Lieutenant R. M. Danford, in spector-instructor, detailed for the field Artillery has been made a major in the Guard and is now in command of the batteries which are known as the Tenth Militia Field Artillery. Cor pora1 Carroll c. Hincks of Troop A, Fifth Militia Cavalry of New Haven has been named by Adjutant- General George M. Cole to be captain and ad-> jutant of the field artillery. Capt. Hincks is a lawyer and graduate of Yale class of 1911. He is an expert horseman.
 Although there have been 1,172 dis charges of members of the Guard be- tween Oct. 1. 1914 and Sept. 30, 1915, the enlistments have, been larger than the discharges. Many of the enlist ed men in the Guard are working nights and unable to attend drills. For this reason Gen. Cole has ordered that all such men be dropped for the ben eft of the service.
