" the opinion OF many, the people OF
the District Of Columbia not only
saved the Federal Capital to the site
selected for It by George Washington
once, but even Q second time, and no
doubt would do 80 again should the occasion
ever arise.
m 1914, after the British had destroyed the
public buildings in Washington, and an effort
IN consequence was being made to remove the
Capital elsewhere, it was o number OF the peo-
nile Of the District Of Columbia who got to-
gether and built the Old Brick Capitol, where
Congress could meet until the burned Capitol
could be restored thus checking the effort
which might otherwise have been successful.
The second occasion was in 1851, when every
citizen was called upon TO do his patriotic duty,
and how well It was done Is an undeniable
and indisputable record.
Il was on the 18th day Of the month
IN 1e61-the sixty ninth anniversary of which
win occur next Tuesday-that President Lin
coin made his first call for troops in the fol-
lowing proclamation:
Whereas The laws Of the United States
have been for some time past and now are OPP
posed, and the execution thereof DISTRACTED,
in the States Of South Carolina, Georgia Ala
hama, Florida Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas,
by combinations too powerful to be suppressed
by the ordinary course Of judicial proceedings.
or BY the powers vested in the marShals by
law:
Nov, therefore !, Abraham Lincoln, Presi-
dent of the United States, in virtue Of the
power In me vested by the Constitution and
the laws, have thought At to call forth, and
hereby do call forth, the Militia of the several
States of the Union, to the aggregate number
Of $4,000, in order to suppress said combna-
tons and to cause the laws to be duly executed.
The details for this object will be immeditely
communicated to the State authorities through
the War Department.
"T appeal to all loyal citizens to favor, facili-
tate, and aid this effort to maintain the honor,
the integrity, and the existence Of our National
Union and the perpetutty Of popular govern
ment. and to redress wrongs already long
enough endured.
'1 deem 1t proper to say that the first service
assigned to the force hereby called forth will
probably be to repossess the forts places, and
property which have been seized from the
Union, and, In every event. the utmost care
viii be observed, consistently xith the objects
Aforesaid to avoid any devastation, any de-
struction Of, or interference with property, or
any disturbance Of peaceful citizens in any
part Of the country; and hereby command
the persons composing the combinations afore-
said to disperse and retire peaceably to their
respective abodes within 20 days from this
date.
"Deeming that the present condition of pub
he affairs presents an extraordinary occasion,
] do. hereby, in virtue of the power in me
vested by the Constitution, convene both
Houses Of Congress. The Senators and Rep
TeSentativeS are therefore summoned to as
Semble ct their respective chambers at IL

e DD the patriotic men of Washington wait
for this proclamation to be issued before
volunteering their services? They did not. Nor
did they wait until the city was captured ov
those not in sympathy with the Union, but on
the contrary, for more than three months
fore this call was made they had been recruit
ing and drilling and preparing to protect the
city and the Government, and at the Inaugural
ton Of the President more than a month be-
fore the proclamation was issued, the District
militia was the strongest support the Federal
Government had in the city, and, according to
those in a position to know without their
patriotic support, Lincoln could not have been
inaugurated in the usual way on March 4, 1851.

teerS did not wait for the Presidents proclama.
ton before joining the Federal service and the
Army records will show that as early as April
9, 1861 10 days before the arrival of the 9th
Massachusetts Regiment, the following order
was issued by Secretary Cameron to muster in
the District troops
War Department,
Washington April 9, 1861.
maj. Gen. r. C. Weigh:man,
Commanding Militia of the District Of
Columbia, Washington:
Sir: Under the twenty fourth section of the
act approved March 3, 1903, the President de-
sires that you call out, to be mustered into the
service of the United States, ten companies of
volunteer companies Maj. Mcdowell, assistant
adjutant general will muster the troops into
the service of the United States as soon AS
presented.
IT am, sir, very respectfully, you. - iient
servant,
SIMON CAMERON.
Secretary of War"
The Star always on the side of law and
order in its editorial column of April 10, gives
its whole hearted support to the instructions
communicated Gen Weightman calling out the
local militia, and says:
1.-The order for a muster OF the District
Volunteers today, at their several armories, had
in view the inspection of their arms and equip
mentS. And, further, to muster as many OF
them into the service Of the United States, by
companies, as may be willing to enter II; the
services of seven companies being at this time
required by the Government, which does not
propose to permit the lives and property of the
people Of the Federal Metropolis and the public
archives to become prey to any marauding
expedition from any quarter, gotten up under
the auspices of the oligarchy.
1.-THE commanding officer of the regular
troops at this point, Col. c. F. Smith, OF the
9th Infantry, will station them as may best
serve the purpose of the citys defense.
Most of the men will be required, doubtless,
to spend the nights in their several armories,
and will be permitted to attend to their usual
avocations during the day-but always within
the usual call -"
ITO what extent the District Militia responded
to this order may be judged by the report OF
Gen. Mcdowell, which reads:

employees Of both the exchange and brokerage houses.
 College courses provide only a smattering of learning to equip the young man bent on career in the financial world.
 And am not sure that it should be otherwise" said Dr. Shultz.
 Much of what we teach here is of interest only to those who are employed in the stock exchange.
 Certain training always will be provided by specific organizations. ,
 Dr. Shultz said he would like to see the stock exchange institutes exert an influence in the broker age business comparable with the American Institute of Banking in the banking world.
 Institute training may never be made a prerequisite for employ ment in the brokerage business. but it may come to merit such recogni- tion as will give employees with such training preference in promo tion."

DENVER ACTION |. IS SET FORT
 BY FEDERATION
Women's Clubs Organiza- ton Wires Chamber
 Fully About Matter

No special survey Of delinquency in Alaska has been asked by the General Federation of Womens Clubs, but, that organization has moved to assist Alaska in obtain ing home in the Territory for delinquent women and girls who are now committed to institutions in the States, according to a telegram received today by the Chamber of Commerce.
 The Federation explained to the Chamber the action reported earlier this week in an Associated Press dispatch to The Empire which said the Denver convention of the or ganization had requested President Hoover to appoint commissioner to study delinquency among women and girls in Alaska.
 The Chamber at once telegraphed the convention asking for fuller in- formation regarding the matter In response a message was received by it today, signed by Julia K. Jaf- frey, Chairman of the Division of Correction, General Federation of Women's Clubs, as follows
 Alaska Club women asked assist ance General Federation President towards securing detention house located in Alaska for delinquent women and girls to stop practice of transporting them to institutions in western States. Many problems involved, such as desirable location, type and size of institution. Pro- posal for commission follows pre- cedent established by Presid e t Roosevelt for planning prison sys- tenn for District of Columbia. Gen. eral Federation hopes your organi- zation will cooperate with Alaska club women in securing commls- sion and working with it to secure best possible institution for Alaska. Will write fully from New York next week"
 The fe asibility of establishing such a home in Alaska has been discussed for several years. Last year a tentative proposition was ad- ,vanced in the Alaska Legislature which decided, after considerable investigation, to take no immediate action. This decision, it was said at the time by legislative leaders, was largely determined by the eco- monies of the situation. It was felt that the Territory was not fi- nancially able to erect an institute adequately equipped and of the proper kind to cope with the prob lems; and that the best interests Of the public and the delinquents themselves would be served by com mitting them to reputable institu- tions in the States.
