GUARDSMEN
ARE PROBLEM
Their Place In New Army
Still Subject of Specu-
lation
(Bx Associated Press.N

Washington, May 14.-The exact
place the national guard is to fill in
the national army is still a matter Of
speculation in the war department
Under the recent announcement that
the states may raise additional units
up to total national guard force, in
GLIDING naval militia, of 500 men for
each representative or senator, 1t is
not even possible yet to forecast ac-
curately the strength Of the organ
ization when it is drafted into the
United States army.
1t is possible that an entirely anew
element of the national forces will be
evolved out of the discussion. The
suggestion has been put forward that
only twelve full divisions of the guard
be organized into tactical units for
purely military purposes and that
would leave many regiments unat-
tached to divisional organizations.
One proposal is that these additional
regiments, or others substituted for
them, be definitely assigned for police
duty, relieving the units which soon
will be needed at training camps.
States might be encouraged to recruit
police regiments among other men,
giving them an opportunity to serve
their country without undergoing the
hardships of campaigning.
The older men are better fitted for
police work and IL assigned near their
homes, they would constitute in effect,
a definite home guard similar to the
German landsturm and the French
terrttorials.
In the circular issued by the militia
bureau on May 5, it was pointed out
to the adjutants general of the several
states that while the law granted the
right to each state to organize new
national guard forces up to the limit
set in the national defense act. it was
not the purpose of the department to
encourage such procedure. The state
ofiicials were told plainly that the de-
partment believed 1t wiser to recruit
ali existing guard organizations up I'd
full war strength. each regiment to be
backed by reserve battalion from
which the force at the front could be
maintained.

heimer of Moorhead was instantly

o'clock on Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. Bachenheimer and her son were
walking on the north side Of N. P.
avenue towards Moorhead and were

J. Awty who found the skull to be

ices being conducted by Rev. D. r.

EASTERN TEAMS HAVE
EDGE ON WESTERNERS
Giants Keep Lead in Nation

American
(By Associased Press.)

New York, May 14.-With more
favorable weather, the races in the
National and American leagues have
become more spirited. Last week saw
the start of the first intersectional
clashes of the season, in which the
eastern teams of both leagues had the
advantage. The intersectional results
We're: National, eastern seven, west
ern four; American, eastern seven,
western FIVE.
New York and Chicago in the Ma
tional league. by winning all their
games, gained good leads on the other
teams: St. Louis enjoyed a one-day
! stay in first place last Sunday, but was
forced out by New York Monday, and
continued to slip through the rest of
the week, uAtil Saturday found them
in, fourth place. The Giants beat
Philadelphia Monday and Tuesday. and
in the last three days of the week won
three games from Cincinnati. Nc
Graw's pitchers are working better
having returned to the lineup the last
of the week.
Chicago defeated Pittsburgh Sunday,
3 to Q, on two hits, and beat the Pirates
again Monday. In the four game SER
les in Brooklyn, Mitchell's men won
every game from the league cham
pions. Seaton pitched two three hit
natl, weakened by sickness and injur-
les, nor Brooklyn, apparently unable
to get started, won game during the
week. Philadelphia, because of good
work by the pitching staff, won all
three of it's games from st. Louis, and
went ahead of the westerners in the
race. Boston moved up from seventh
place by taking three out Of four
games from Brooklyn and Pittsburgh.
Champs Continue 20 Lead.
The champion Boston team contin-
ues to hold tightly to first place in
the American, and increased its lead
during the week by winning five out OF
six games. The Boston pitching staff
is working well, and should Barry's
men continue their winning gait, 1t
may be hard to stop them. New York
took runner up position by taking two
games from Philadelphia and two out
of three from Chicago, their most dan
gerous rivals for second place.
The other teams in the American
did not change positions, and Cleve-
land was the only one to gain in the
percentage column. The American
league had some excellent pitching by
the stats of the Boston and New York
teams, but Groom, of st. Louis, topped
all others by pitching eleven innings
against Chicago last Sunday, In which
he allowed neither a hit nor a run.
His performance included two innings
of the first game of double header
and the last game in full.
In the Association.
Indianapolis continued its winning
streak in the American association,
vim ng six games in a row from st.
Paul and Minneapolis, and is firmly en-
trenched in the lead.

GOVERNOR CUTS
DEP ARTMENTS TO
SAVE Big FUND
Subordination to the Other
Branches is Method By
Which Economy is Made

Consolidation plans that will MAKE
five state departments subordinate II
other departments and eliminate sew
eral officials and employees, were an
nounced Saturday night by Governor
j. A. A. Burnquist.
The governor estimates that thu
changes will save the state directly
$4,000 a year in salaries and travel
ing expenses. Most of the changes, h
says, will not take effect until Aug.
Changes proposed by the governor
are as follows:
Place oil inspection and hotel in
spection under the dairy and food
commissioner, making him head Of
both departments without increase
in compensation.
Place the state fire fnarshaps de-
partment under the insurance
commissioner, making the latter
official fire marshal without extra
pay.
Place the state boiler inspectors
under the insurance commissioner.
Make surveyors general Of logs
and lumber subordinate to the
state forester.
Robert w. Hargadine, state fire
marshal; A. NJ. Opsahl, state oil in
spector and Robert E. Nee. state no.
tel inspector, are the officers most af-
fected by the new order. A number
of deputies in the various Offices, as
we'll as a score or more OF clerks Will
be removed by the changes.
1t is considered probable that Mr..
Nee will be retained as a hotel in
spector under the dairy and food de-
partment.
The governor, in his order. declares
he is not defying the legislature, but
the changes are made to determine
the ACCESSIBILITY OF legislation along
this line and ito eliminate as much
as possible opposition to such legis-
lation on the part Of those whose posi-
tions are affected"
The state has lost much in timber
transactions, the governor says
through the hiring of scalers who also
have been in the employ Of companies
buying timber from the state.
Employment of competent men from
the forestry department as surveyors
OF logs and lumber will effect saving
many times the amount saved in sal
aries and other expenses, he declares.
Governor Burnquist has announced
appointments of employees of the for
estry department to succeed surveyors
general Of logs. The appointees are:
II. G. Weber of Ely, surveyor general
of logs; M. J. Thornton of Deer River,
surveyor for the Minneapolis district,
and Perry Swedberg of Moose Lake,
surveyor for the saltwater district.
All have been employed as rangers
or in other positions in the forestry
department. They will succeed. re-
spectively, Frank G.. Scribner Of Du-
lIth, Charles e. Sinclair of Mime
apolis and John J. Carroll Of Stillwa-
ter.
