Army.
Several suggestions were heard last
week involving certain important
changes In organization In high places
of the military establishments One
proposal contemplates the abolition OF
the Inspector Generals Department, or
It's virtual equivalent of amalgamation
with another department. This has a
familiarity that relieves 1t Of the char
acteriStics of sensation or surprises. 1t
is, of course, urged in behalf of this
plan that the duties now performed by
inspectors general can be rendered By
officers Of the finance department in
the instances requiring inspection OF
public funds diseursed for Army pur-
poses, and by corps area commanders,
chiefs of branches and the chief of
staff and his representatives, where
more military inspection is necessary.
Another proposal suggests that the
chiefs and assistant chiefs OF the War
Department branches having the rank
ef general officer shall be transferred
to the list of general officers of the line
and where they are not such made per-
manent In that capacity. Under that
arrangement it is supposed that va
cancieS among chiefS ana assistant
chiefs of branches. with the exception
of the Medical Department and the
Corps of Chaplains, shall be filled by
the detail of major generals and brig
adler generals Of the line, respectively
to hold such position for the usual four
years and to return on the termination
of that period to line functions. Still
another proposal suggests a variation
of this plan which would transfer to
the line the general officers now at
tached TO the branches and cont1ne to
celonels the detail as chiefs ana assist
ant chiefs of such branches without in.
crease of rank 1t is anticipated that
this latter proposal would encounter OBJ
lection in many quarters because OF the
additions to the general officers of the
line under circumstances that separate
such officers from important positions
at the head of branches. In substance,
however, the situation would remain
the same a. now with regard to the
number of general officers,

~ ing regular army
officers as chiefs of branches prohibits
the chief of the Militia Bureau from
succeeding himself. This is not true.
however, as section 81 of the National
Defense Act prescribes, in part. that
the chief of the Militia Bureau shall
hold office for tour years unless sooner
removed for cause, shall be eligible
to succeed himself, and when he IA 90
years of age he shall cease 10 hold
such Office" ft Ia further prescribed
in section &c OF that act that the chiefs
and assistants to the chiefs of the sew.
eral War Department branches shall be
appointed BY the President for a pc.
riod OF four years. The act is painfully
silent on the question of chiefs Of
branches succeeding themselves. which
seems to account for the reason that
the department. has established the
policy OF limiting the tours Of duty of
the chiefs of the technical and supply
branches.
There has been no expression from
Gen. Hammond as to whether he would
accept a reappointment to his present
post and the National Guard has un-
DER his encumbency enjoyed unprece-
dented prosperity. The ciroulariEation
of literature In behalf of an active cam.
psign to push the candidacy Of other
candidates Ia q most unusual circuni.
stance, It Ia felt In some National
Guard circles that the silence of Gen.
Hammond on the question of his re.
appointment should be respected and
that until he makes O public announce
ment concerning his reappolntment no
open attempts should be made on the
behalf of others. Another thing enter.
ing into the picture 10 the complexion
of the political affiliation Of the next
President. In the event Of the election
of Mr.. Hoover, there Is not the slight
est doubt that Gen. Hammond would
be proffered reappointment, but
should Gov. Smith be elected the next
President next Tuesday IL ts most prob.
able that q member Of the National
Guard possessing Democratic affiliatlons
would be appointed to succeed Gen.
Hammond upon the completion Of his
present term next June.

Chief Of Police Percy Bowden took
steps yesterday to request that all

residences in the city be immediately
reported to the police. SO that the beg
gars or peddlers could be taken into
custody and investigated.
The chief said last evening that
there had been altogether too much
begging from house to house and a
number of cases Of robbery by persons
posing as peddlers or beggars. He
asks that residents telephone the sta
ton Immediately upon the appearance
Of any strangers seeking assistance OF
offering wares for sale. Often the
articles offered for sale are stolen
property and often the. beggar uses a
plea for food as means to step inside
doorway and snatch some article OF

Chief Bowden points out that the
patrol cars and the officers are main
tanned by the city to project the public
and each call will be answered prompt

the exploitation and development of
| their several resources and advan-
: tages."

aims in his personal Interpretation
of them, made the following state
ment of the organization:
'"The idea was suggested to several
| of us here last fall, in forcible manner
/ by a Californian thoroughly familiar

and has been under serious considera-
! ton for months before definite action
was taken. Broadly speaking, the
purpose of Arizonans, Inc, is to dc

tiors are doing each for its own town

not only the oldest, in point OF ACTUAL
service for the road, but the most
popular railroad man on the South

many railroad men in Douglas While
Wadell had never operated a train
into or through Douglas, he was
known to all the local railroad men
and as one OF them put 1T, Every

ing at Ell Paso. He was taken ill
a short time before he was to have
left Ell PaSo as conductor on train

man in point of service in the
division.
"Wadell was among the first rail-
road men in the southwest and saw
the Southern Pacific lines stretch
out toward the west from Ell Paso

(, Tucson and Lordsburg when the
4 trains were frequently stopped by
Indians under Geronimo.
