MILITIA OFFICERS URGE
UNIVERSAL TRAINING
Only Thing That Can Save Us" Says
Major LOveland, Of y. j. Guard

Major DO'eianu, OF " y. 'udiu
A meeting held yesterday at the Yale
Club, presided over by Herbert L. Sat
terlee, former Assistant Secretary Of
the Navy, and attended by some fifty
members and former members OF the
National Guard and Naval Militia,
passed resolutions in favor of "univer-
sal military training and service under
exclusive Federal control
1.-THE only thing that can save us, .
declared Major John ". Loveland, OF
the 9TH New Jersey Infantry, "is uni
versal service. The criticism which fol-
lowed the service at the border is due
90 the system, not to the men who have
given their time periodically to their
country. We must use the weapon we
have until we get another"
Colgate HOyt, lieutenant in Squad
ron a, spoke in the same vein. I'VE
won't get what we want by 'scrapping
the National Guard" he said.
Commander w. B. Wait, of the LIST
Battalion, Naval Militia. expressed the
opinion that universal service was the
crux Of the situation.
Henry l.. Stimson, former Secretary
of War, believes indirect command" TO
be the chief fault of the Guard system.
THE main purpose Of change" said he,
"is 70 relieve the injustice Of the bur
den of defence, which ought to be COM
mon TO US ALL"

Pipe Line on New Jersey
Meadows Discovered
AblaZe in 2 Places
FLAMING FUEL RUNS
NEAR FREIGHT YARDS
Suspicion Is Attached to
Double Break and Mys-
ferrous Ignition

What might have been an effort TO
destroy great quantities Of munitions
in cars standing on the Jersey meadows
was revealed yesterday, when Stand
ard Oil pipe line was found afire in two
places. The strange fires endangered
1000 cars in the yards of the Erie and
Lackawanna railroads, scores Of which
were laden with war supplies. The
fires were discovered at ago in the
afternoon, when blazing oil swept down
Penhorn Creek toward the vast freight
yards back o. Jersey City.
Gates above and below the breaks
were shut, but a tweive-mile section of
the three-foot pipe remained free TO
the flames, ana 1t was nearly midnight
before the peril was ended. Clouds of
dense smoke overhung the meadows
when the commuters trains began the
homeward rush, and at times almost
obscured signals.
Firemen from Secaucus, employees OF
the Standard Oil plant at Bayonne ana
railroad men sought in vain to stay
the course of the flames. At the first
outbreak they swept so close to the
tracks that switch engines hurriedly
began to clear that part of the yards.
With the closing Of the gates the
fire beyond the breaks in the pipe be-
gan to withdraw, and before dark only
the two columns of smoke remained.
One break was near Penhorn Greek,
sluggish stream, about twenty-five
feet wide. and the other was half
mile to the east A suggestion that IA
spark from a locomotive might have
started the blaze was derided by rail
road men. Those who spent most OF
the afternoon getting powder cars out
of the danger zone regarded the double
break and fire as extremely suspicious.
Officials of the Standard Oil Com
pany added to the mystery by refusing
to discuss the affair.

Promotion of Presidents
Physician Breaks Law,
Gregory Says
CONFIRMATION HOPES
IN DECIDED SLUMP
Constitutionality of Law
Will Be Debated by
Republicans
lRY Telesraph % The Tribune. J

Washington Feb. S.--Dr. Cary 1.
Gravson's chances of becoming a rear
admiral took a decided slump to-day
when notice was served by Democratic
leaders in the Senate that unless an
agreement could be obtained from the
Republicans to fix date for vote
on the nomination-which is consid-
cred impossible-they could allow no
more time to discussion of the NOM
nation.
For the first time to-day it became
known that Attorney General Gregory
had written an opinion regarding the
legality OF promoting the Presidents
private physician over the heads OF
127 senior naval medical officers to
medical director OF the navy, with the
rank Of rear admiral Mr.. Gregory. in
a long dissertation, admitted that the
anpointment violated the Jaw, but held
that the law is unconstitutional.
The Attorney Generals opinion re
yealed that the Grayson appointment
was not a sudden whim on the part Oh
President Wilson to reward his favor
lite. and also showed that the President
was prepared for opposition on, the
ground that the appointment violated
the law. Mr.. Gregory was asked Tor
this opinion on September II, 1915, and
submitted his opinion on December ~
The appointment was not sent to the
senate until January II, 1917. So that
he legal opinion to the effect that the
appointment violated the law, but that
he law could be overturned as uncon-
,titutional, was in the hands OF the Ad-
ninistration three weeks before the
senate and the navy were surprised at
he appointment.
At the last secret session of the SEN
ate in which the Administration sought
10 force confirmation of DR.. Grayson,
Senator Poindexter, of Washington, at
lacked the appointment as being con-
trary to law. 1t was not until then
that copies of Mr.. Gregory's opinion
we're sent to Administration Senator's
to enable them to meet this line Of at
tack.

WINS HIS DIVORCE
In FIVE MINUTES
VanLoan's Home Wrecked
by Wife's Snug Fitting
Riding Attire

1t took a jury. in the Supreme Court,
five minutes yesterday to give verdict
in favor Of William w. Van Loan, a
cotton merchant, in his suit for d.
vorce from Mrs. Louise Van Loan.
Charles W. Saacke. vice-president OF
the Stewart Mining Company and for
mer associate of F. Augustus Helnze'
was the correspondent.
Mrs. Van Lean did not appear to
defend the action. The testimony Tor
the husband was that in raid on the
BROOKLYN apartment Of the wlfe, van
Loan and his fellow raiders met Mrs:
Van Loan attired in her bathrobe, and
Saacke. -
"What right have you to break into
nv house," was the way Mrs. van
Loan greeted her husband.
~ did not expect You to send me
card to call" Van Loan responded.
Mrs. Van Loan thereupon declared
her willingness to marry Saacke, ana
slappcd the faces of her husband and
his two witnesses. Saacke already mas
wife and two children.
Van Loan also has pending a SUIT
for 100000 against Saacke for allena-
tion of affection& Both men are mem
bers of the Eek Hills Golf Club, Of
Staten Island, where the families used
to meet.
Mrs. Van Loan is al expert horse
woman, and usually she went riding
with Saacke. to which her husband OBJ.
jected. This objection was not so
much because she rode, as it was on
account Of her attire, which included a
pair of white duck riding brooches
which Van Loan said fitted her
snugly."
