TO RECRUIT REGIhENTISTATE'S JURISDICTION
Governor Authorizes Adintant-Gen-
eral to Proceed With New Unit.
Chance for Men to Enlist.

Following a. injecting of the State
Military Board, where the matter
was discussed at length, Governor
Stuart yesterday authorized Adjutant
General Sale to organize in Virginia
an additional National Guard regi.
.nent. permission to take this step
having been previously granted by

= This means that more than 5000
Virginians will have further oppor-
'tunity to volunteer, and can serve
the nation as part of the fighting
forces of this State in the great con-
flict now raging.
General Sale has been quietly at
work testing the sentiment in all
parts of the State, with view of
forming bhe' new regiment, and In
formation which has reached his Of
fee indicates that the prospects Of
successfully recruiting the organi-
zation are exceptionally bright.
However, General Sale said that
it would require some time TO carry
out the plans. 1t will first be neces-
sary to have companies formed.
These will later he recognized as
battalions, after which will come the
recognition of the regiment. 1t will
be composed of four battalions, OF
three companies each, one machine
gun company an dthree supply COM
panies.
In Richmond. it is understood, ap-
plication has already been made to
form two companies of the new re-
giment, and it is hoped an entire
battalion will be secured in that city.
Men of military experience in Dan
Vile, Fredericksburg and other cities
have indicated their willingness to
organize companies.

Judge Thornton Rules Against Con-
tention That Offenders Against
Liquor Laws Must Go to Federal
Courts.

Judge !. B. T. Thornton, sitting IN
the Circuit Court Of Fairfax County,
yesterday decided in the case of the
Commonwealth against Ashton Cur
tis. who was indicted for transport
ing in excess of one quart of ardent
spirits, that the State courts have
jurisdiction to try such offenses.
Walter T. Oliver, who represented
the accused, moved to quash the in
dictment on the ground chat his client
had brought two quarts from Wash
ington into Fairfaxx County, and that,
since Congress, by the enactment OF
the Reed amendment, had legislated
upon this subject, the State courts
were deprived of jurisdiction.
Guy T. Horner, of the Department
of Prohibition, was associated with
the Commonwealth's attorney, c. v.
Ford, in the argument of this mo-
ticn.
While Judge Thornton's decision is,
of course, not binding on the other
courts of the commonwealth it will
doubtless have large persuasive ef-
feet upon them.
The same question will be raised
probably next week in the hustings
court of Richmond. by Attorney Ed
gar English under similar circum-
stances.
