ter of a good deai’oi interest to stein-
hers of the ’ '(lhnnectlcut National
Guard whether they may be called into
service sndtor what times. Therefore
the views at authorities on the subject
are of Importance.
Wtenant Colonel Davis. deputy
judge advocate general oi the United
States army. has recently given written
replies to three queries.
1. it the president oi the United
States should pail out the militia at one
" date for duty in another state. would
ll. be mustered into the general service
by any oath other than that adminir
teretl to the men as militiamen in their
own state?
Answer: Under. the practice of the
war department, although not sanc—
tioned by law. an oath oi allegiance is
essential to s muster~in of troops.
2. Does the call oi the president or.
eessarlly have to be through the gov-
ernor oi the state:
Answer? The act oi July ii. 1862. re-
at “when the militia oi more
state is called into the actual
set-v i the United States by the
president. he shall apportion them
among such states according to repre.
sentatlve population." Another act
passed in 1795 gives the president au-
thority to call out troops and “to issue
.his orders ior that purpose to such oili-
cors of the militia as he shall think
proper." The call would ordinarily be
addressed to the governor. who. in
most of the states is made commander
iii-chief oi the active militia oi the
slam
ii. in calling out the militia would
it be within the powers oi the presi-
dent to designate certain organizations.
or would he have to limit himself
merely to making requisition ior a
certain number oi men?
Answer: l'nder the act oi ”95. it
would be entirely within the discretion
of the president to designate certain
organisations ior service under the
call. If there are no organizations. the
call must be addressed to the governor.
and would. in any event. ordinarily be
addressed to him.
Captain Hurray. oi the United States
army. detailed as military instructor at
Yale. has recently given his views on
other points in somewhat the same
line.
Contain Murray points out the only
points oi conflict between the Connect-
icut and l’itited States statutes on the
manner at calling out the militia and
the length oi service which could be
required oi them. The president. in
his opinion. has (oil power to call out
the militia.
The Connecticut militia law.
amended in 1895. provides that:
"The Connecticut National Guard
shall be liable at all times to he called
into active service. and. except as here,
insiter provided. shall iirst he called
out by the onumander-ln-ehiei on all
W tor military service. and may
by hiuhe tnrsedover to the service oi
the United States. on requisition by the
pmidsnt ior service without the state.
manning three months in any one
year. is tiiseoi war. invasion. rebel-
lion or riot. or reasonable apprehen-
sion thereoi. or upon requisition by the
Widest oi the United States. the
”ladder-inflict shall order out (or
active service such iurtber portion at
the ltllitia as he may deem necessary.
designating the some by drait. li a sul-
ilcleut number shall not volunteer. and
shall organise the same and appoint
, and commission oflcers thereior: and
when so ordered out ior service the
militia shall he suhiert to like regula-
tions and receive item the state like
“WWW”! on that prescribed ior
the army oi the United Stain."
Captain Murray also quoted iron:
Scott’s Digest oi hitliiary Laws. that
tho Supreme Court oi the United States
- has held that the decision rests with
the president as to whether the calling
out oi the militia is demanded by ex-
lsting conditions. The United States
statutes. Captain lurrsy says. con-
ilist with those at Connecticut as to
the period ior which the militia may
he called out. the United States stat-
utes authorising a call ior not exceed-
ing nine months. Captain Murray ad-
ded that. under a ruling. the regimes
t’al ulcers oi the militia would holdllead
their places. but the preaidut would

lie walked in ”ii salted Sergeant
Wade to direct. him to the Pordhsni
hospital. lie said he was a dangerous
person to he at large. Sergeant Wade
recognised him and had him locked up
in a cell. Owens described himseli as
26 years of age. of Barton.
As soon as Owens was put into a cell
he pretended to fall into a tit. lie was
doused with water. which brought him
to. Then he went to sleep.
He was subsequently taken to the
Morrisania Court prison. lie was
known there and his reputation of
making believe he is a hypnotist was
known. Keeper Peter hieehan saw
Owens trying to llx his use on him.
and he kept out oi the prisoner's way.
Owens then tried to catch the eyes of
two scrub women. but they picked up
their brushes and pails and ran away.
Then he took out a harmonica and
began to play so well that everybody
maneled at his skill. He put that
haclt in his pocket and began to whis»
tie imitations of bird calla. at which he
showed even more sltill than with the
harmonica. At last he was arraigned
before Magistrate Brand.
The man had the audacity to try to
catch the magistrate‘s eye. but failed.
Upon his arraignment Owens announc-
ed himself as the Prince oi Charmers.
He said he possessed hypnotic influ-
ence. and that he came into the world
with a mission.
"Sir." he said haughtily to the mag-
istrate. "i am a Christian artist and
reioriilat. i am the evangelist oi the
world. My mission is to expose fraud.
i set forth the fraud in the insane asy~
iums. sir."
"Go down to the Bellevue hospital
insane pavilion ior five days." said the
magistrate. “and see if ther're frauds
down there."
“Sir. I shdll." said Owens. "i wish
to see Dr. Wildniau. whom i have met.
There is no law againiit an insane man
and i shall assassinate Dr. Wildinan."
Owens was then taken out. looking
into the eyes of a man charged with
