War Department is seeking the aid
of the National Guard units through
out the country in efforts to compile
source materials relating to the his
tory of the National Guard and earlier
State Militias, to be arranged accord
ing to States and Territories.
The national bureau proposes to
organize and coordinate the project,
and to be directly responsible for the
compilation of the data available In
this city such as is in the War De-
paTCHleIlC ana OCneT f6QeIdl archives,

It was pointed out however that
another phase. the task Of organizing
and co-ordinating the work in the

difficulties. 1t was added that the
National Guard Bureau can do no
more than request the cooperation
of the States. In view Of the wide
variation in conditions it can only
suggest possible methods, leaving the
details of organization to the States.
The National Guard Bureau at pres
ent proposes to suggest that the adju-
tants general form committees COM
posed OF outstanding scholars from
historical societies, universities, or
libraries, who may be most interested
in the undertaking and willing to
serve. and leave the actual organiza-
ton and conduct of the work in their
hands, placing at their disposal the
authority of his office to secure the
cooperation of other agencies in the

HUMPHREY CUSTER
G0EST0U.S.COURT.
High Claims Board to Rule
on Presidents Powers to
Remove Officials.
BY the Associs ted Press.

By the Associated Press.
An old political dispute cropped up
again when it was learned that the
right of President Roosevelt to remove
William E. Humphrey as Federal
trade commissioner will be decided by
the United States Court of Claims.
Humphrey was appointed by Presi-
dent Hoover to serve on the commits
sion until 1898. In October, 1888,
President Roosevelt removed him from
Office.
The ousted trade commissioner. de-
elining to agree to his removal filed a
claim for salary. After he died last
February his estate pressed the suit.
Final arguments were completed Mon
day on whether the estate should get
$4,000 as pay for services from Octo-
ber. 1888, to February, 1884.
When President Roosevelt asked for
Humphreys resignation, he said: i
do this because I feel that the aims
and purposes of the administration
with respect to the work of the COM
mission can be carried out most effec-
lively with personnel of my own Sc
lection"
Matthews Nominated.
The Chief Executive proceeded to
nominate George c. Matthews of Wis
consin as a Republican commission
member for Humphreys place. After
considerable discussion Of the case the
Senate confirmed Matthews appoint
ment.
Meanwhile, Humphrey wrote the
President:
II refuse to recognize such an order
Gthe removal order) as valid, or as
being within the Presidents rightful
powers. I am convinced that the
order is without warrant of law and
is lneffectual"
On the day he wrote that, however,
Humphrey was notified that the COM
mission itself had recognized the pres
jdential order and decided that his
Office was vacant.
One Of Humphreys contentious was
that an executive officer whose ap-
pointment was confirmed by the SEN
ate could not be ouSted save for in
efficiency, neglect of duty or mall
feasance in Office. President Roosevelt
gave none of those as his reasons for
removing the commissioner.
Removal Power Held Great.
But in his final argument, George
C. Sweeney, Assistant Attorney Gen
eral, told the Court of Claims the
President had authority to remove
Humphrey for any reason which he,
acting with due sense of his official
responsibility, thought sufficient.
During the height of the controversy
between the President and Humphrey,
claims were made that Mr.. Roosevelt
was about TO turn the Trade Commits
sion into political organization. Re-
publicans even indicated they would
make the custer political issue, but
decided to hold of until a final court
decision was returned.
There were intimations that the
case would be carried to the Supreme
Court, whatever the Court of Claims
ruling.

was no stranger TO the need for

Shireen at once
Taxing the message and the stone
and even the strip Of rag-she
wended her way to the Cobrs's apart
ment.
The echoing corridors were de-
serted. for all the attendants had
gone to see the hated Jaffir die. She
stood before the Col3ra's door.
Would the Khan be angry with
her? Prudence bade her knock be-
fore pushing open the heavy cedar
wood portals. A rolling, as Of distant
thunder. answered her.
Gulbudun, heated by haste, said.
'Poufl II Is hotl There is going 10 be
a storm"
As she spoke the last word, she en-
tered.
The room was empty.
Disappointment, mingled with that
same strange sense OF loneliness and
depression, pricked her so sharply
that she sat herself down on the side
OK the Cobras couch.
As she did so, a great gust OF wind
from the direction Of the market
place, laden with a hoarse, terrible
shouting. fioated in at the open win
dows, slamming the cedarwood door
and causing her long golden hair to
drift toward it as II invisible fingers
we're trying to draw her from the
room.
Now, at the other side Of the Co
bras couch lay Shiv the tigress-un-
chained.
Slowly the great beast came round
the end Of the wide bed. And once
more the thunder that Gulbudun had
heard rolled through the room. She
knew, nov, that it was Shiv's voice
Coming slowly up to the petrified
child, the tigreSs shifted her.
Alas, poor beastI" soothed the
trembling child, forcing her pale lips
to form words. Perhaps you, also,
miss my Shireenl Please do me
no harm, great Shiv, for she loves me
dearly!"
And Gulbudun made no sound
when Shiv sprang upon her.
For more than an hour Diana
Lindsay had sat silently beside q
grief stricken Shireen, whose dark
eyes stared stonily out into the gar
den, seeming to see nothing.
Gulbudun's death had changed the
Persian. Her newborn hatred Of In
justice was growing stronger, deepen
ing her love for Diana, and forcing
her to an unwelcome realization of
the Cobra's cruelty.
You and your Sahib are, she was!"
she said to Diana. The English
woman tried to comfort her.
The measured footsteps of q patrol
passing slowly through the palace
gardens caused Shireen's strong will
to reassert itself. 1t was time for
Diana TO 60.

she said resolutely, rousing herself
Go, put on the Hillman's dress I

A quarter of an hour later she re-
turned

The two girls embraced and a mo-

empty. for Shireen had gone TO see
to the preparations for the nautch

the Cobra, which was to keep him
with her during the time Of the

Crouching In the cool dimness Of
the grotto In which she was to wait
until darkness fell Diana strove to
compose her nerves. Love and prayer
aided her. Suddenly she became
aware of white-clad figure seated
near her. 1t was the Swastika sadhu.
