NATIONAL GUARDS
STAY in StRyICt2
tA.-oeiated Pres-D

Topeka, Dec, 1S.-Much uncer-
tainty exists as to what will be the
status of the National guardsmen
now in the federal service, when they
are discharged as members of the
federal army, according TO officers on
the staff of Adjutant General q. y.
Huffman. who are in charge of, the
National Guard organization. The
outstanding question is, will they
upon being mustered out Of the fed
eral serviee-return to their ante war
status Of National Guardsmen, or VIII
they not!
This question appears to have
been one Of much concern to the war
department" said one of General
Huffman's aides, in charge of the
matters pertaining to the Kansas Ma
tional Guards. ALSO, with all the
states it has become an important
question. OF course, as a rule, tha
state organizations hold that the Ma
tional Guardsmen never have lost
their identity with their original or
CARNATIONS. In fact, they never nave
been discharged as National Guards
men, we claim"
Three orders from the federal
army have been received by Adult
ant General G. S. Huffman, relative
to the discharge of the NatioHa
Guardsmen since they entered IN
federal service. The first, whlci
came from the Central Department.
Chicago, was for the commanders O
the respective regiments to give DIS
charges to the men. This was start
ed. but the objection was raised tina
such procedure technically dischNrg
ed the men from the organizations II
which they were serving because the,
still were in their original guards
men units, although federaliSed. Thi
procedure then was altered by IN
structiOns from the War Department
which advised that the discharges 2

the opinion of the judge advoca'

charges from National Guard organ
izations be issued to officers an

service under Sections 3, of the Pre-

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The Amer
lean people are spending slightly more
for amusements but less for travel
as the war progresses. This fact is
revealed in comparison Of the May

made public to-day with the receipts
for previous months War taxes from
all sources collected in May amounted
to S123 ,396,104
Taxes collected during May by the
~ per cent charge on admission to the
atres, concerts. cabarets and like places
amounted to $4,524,9 1896, indicating that
the American people spent approx
mately $45,000,000 on amusements dur
ing the month. In February taxes from
the same sources totalled $3,70S 900.
indicating an expenditure OF approx
mately S37.0OO,O00
The per cent tax on passenger
fares during May yielded $3,723 ,920,
which shows that approximately S46,-
$4,000 was spent in travelling during
the month. During February the same
tax raised for the Treasury. $4 ,465 200,
representing expenditures for travelling
of $50 100000

Indicted Banker Gives Bail
William Fl. Rose Is Accused of
Larceny of $4,000

William H. Rose, secretary-treasurer
OF the Broadway Savings Institution.
Park Place, who was arrested a week
ago, charged with the grand larceny of
SIS 1000 from the bank, was indicted by
the grand jury yesterday. Rose was
arralgned before Judge Mulqueen in
chambers and was released in $4,000
bail.
Rose is charged with the theft Of
$4,000, which, it is said he took from
the vaults of the institution and lost
IN speculation. At the time of his ar
rest his bail was furnished by John j.
Lyon, former candidate for Sheriff, who
appeared in court when Rose was ar
rested yesterday.
Ihe missing money. District Attor-
ney Swann's investigation showed, was
taken from a dozen envelopes, in one
OF which was found a check made by
John j. Lyon to the order of William
Fl. Rose for $1,000. This check was as
dated Apr 29 and protested July 9.
Because of this discovery Mr.. Swami
asked the court to demand another
bondsman besides Lyon. and bail was
furnished by George Noakcs, down
town restaurateur Lyons declared
that the check in question would be
used as one of the strong links in the
case for the defence.
Rose. after his arrest, was arraigned
in the Tombs as William II. RYAN. and
it was not until last Monday, week
later, that his real identity was dis
closed.
