Capitano Murder Unsolved
Police Say Man Was Shot nv
CangStcrs in Revenge

The police yesterday advanced two
theories in exclamation of the murder
q Charles Caoitano, alias Burgo. who
was shot TO death ms front OF $50
Cherry Street. Monday. One is that the
dead mans pals killed him to prevent
q "squeal' in connection with a recent
holdup for which Capitano was schod-
uled TO so on trial to-day. The police
say Ca9itano had announced he would
make clean breast of the hold-up
affair.
The other theory is that Capitano
might have been murdered by gang
sters 10 avenge the deaths Of Charles
d 'Raimonde and Charles Oddo, who
Capltano was charged with killing in
1916, although he was never indicted.
Salvatore Lavato is held for further
examination az Police Headquarters.
The bail Of Henry Pelughi. co-defen-
dant with Cap.tano OH the holdup
charge, was increased to S25 900 yes
tercay and he was sent to the Tombs.
Pelughl says he WAS at Coney Island

Officers Explain Why Less
Than One in Twenty of
New York Men Who Saw
Service Have Re-inlisted
Antagonism Is Charged
Separate Organization Like
Marine Corps Under Ci-
william Leaders Demanded

Less than one in twenty of the New
York Guardsmen who saw service over
seas and won praise for conspicuous
gallantry from General Pershing, Field
Marshal Haig and other Allied COM
manders, has rednlisted in the Guard
under the reorganization plan adopted
by the General Staff of the War De-
partment New York State. which
should have 9,4T3 enlisted men in the
tcderaIlzed service, has, instead, 792
The nation, which should have 126,1O9
men in the federalized Guard, has but
36.013
Here are the reasons for the poor
showing as given by Adiutant General
Charles W. Berry, of this state:
Men joining the Guard naturally
desire to become officers. There is no
incentive when under the present svs.
TEN a man no sooner becomes an Off
Ger than he is discredited Guards
men demand that the pernicious sys-
tem-the outgrowth of the military
bureaucracy of Washington-wh has
dwarfed officers and made them un-
willing tools of self-perpetuating
body be abolished.'
Rose Explains Situation
Solohel y. D. nose, ISL New ork
Infantry. d member Of the organlza-
tion committee of the National Guard
Association, says:
THE big reason why the men are
not reioining the guard is that they
know how the National Guard was
kicked around before and during the
war. and they don't want to go back
under the old conditions. Guards dsmcn
returning from overseas were mustered
out of the Federal service and, auto
matically out Of the National Guard
New-York tribune., 1919-09-03

It was hoped that with it's organiza-
tion wiped out the guard would die
natural death. 1t Is coming to life
despite the attempts of profe ssional
militarists to obstruct its rcsurrec-
ton"
Here are the obstructions referred to
as enumerated by the organizing com
mittee:
"Circulars and so-called letters of
instruction sent out by the Militia Bu-
reau are so ambiguous that it is often
impossible even with legal advice to
interpret them.
"Requests made to the Militia Bu-
reau for interpre citations and explana-
tlons of just what is wanted bring
forth merely a further series of words
which give no real information as to
what is expected of the Guard before
Federal recognition will be given.
Change of Orders a Handicap
Weeks passed before the Militia
Bureau set the minimum number of
men required for companies at 100.
Within a few days it revised itself,
making the minimum siXty-five Soon
afterward it again revised itself. set
ting the minimum at 100 men TO a
company Despite requests from near
ly every state in the Union. the bu-
rcau refoses to establish the pre- war
basis of siXty-hve men to a company.
In roral lommonities it is impossible
to recroit on this basis.
Many other acts Of the Militia Blu
reau have obstructcd ;hc rcorganiza-
ton, such as its refusal to recognize,
even temporarily. officers who are re-
CURED to assist in the reorganization
of the guard. These acts have forced
the conclusion that those directing tho
Militia Bureau are either ignorant Of
conn'uons throughout the country or
else are maliciouslY attempting to pre-
vent the liberalization of the guard
SO VAGUE Wee the instructions sent
out by the Militia Bureau Colonel
Claude V. Birkheal. Of Texas, said
yesterday. that he and a number Of
other National Guard officers went to
Washington to see Secretary Baker.
"Gentlcmcn. probably know less
about this matter than any other per
son in the world,' Colonel Birkhcad
quotes Secretary Baker as saying. =
rely entirely on Information and ad-
vice given me by the general staff .
Texas Conditions Exceptional
1T is therefore patent" said
Colonel Birkhead that the National
Guard success must depend upon
the efforts Of those who do not de-
sire its success. The general staff
has pointed out that Texas has been
able to recruit It's full quota under
tho reorganization plan. The reason
for that Is that with the Mexican
trouble threatening and Intervention
in the minds of many Texans it is
easy to get enljstments But the
Texas Federalized Guard will not re
main at full strength unless some
thing soon happens in Mexico. On a
plain peace time basis We could not
