THE - BEE : OMAHA, THURSDAY, APRIL 24. 1919.
AUTHORIZE NEW
GUARD UNITS ON
BASIS OF PEACE
i
War Department Permits Im
mediate Formation of State
Military Regiments In
Four States.
Washington, April 23, Recon
struction of the national guard was
. actually started today when the
War department, through the bu
reau of military affairs, authorized
the organization of seven regiments
and one extra battalion of infantry,
one squadron of cavalry and eight
een companies of coast artillery.
The state of New York was au
thorized to raise four regiments of
infantry, one squadron of cavalry
and 12 companies) of coast artillery.
New Jersey was authorized to or
ganize one regiment of Infantry
and two companies of coast artil
lery, Ohio two regiments of in
fantry and Oregon one battalion of
infantry and four companies of
coast artillery.
Present Units Illegal
These new units are intended to
replace state troops which, under
Section 61 of the national defense
act, cannot be legally maintained
'by the states in time of peace.
That, section prohibits the main
tenance of any troops except those
prescribed in the act regulars and
NsNational Guard.
Other authorizations for units are
expected to folldw soon. The states
first considered were those in which
conditions were such that their gov
ernors considered armed - forces
might be necessary under certain
contingencies. The state of Penn
sylvania, for instance, reported to
the War department that it possess
ed at this time a very efficient state
constabulary and 3,000 state troops,
sufficient to handle any emergency
which could be foreseen at this time.
Based on Peace Status.
The units authorized today must
be in such state of organization be
fore June 30 as to be eligible for
J federal recognition, if the War de-
j partment is to extend financial aid.
The organizations will all be based
on a peace status, a company con
sisting of 65 men as a minimum.
, -"It should be clearly understood."
the message sent to the state gov
ernors said, "that the War depart
ment does not call for the organiza
tion of the National Guard at the
, present time, but leaves initiation of
its organization with the state
authorities, and it is not desired, to
anticipate the action of congress in
the formulation f tne national mili
tary policy, nor is it believed to be
desirable to undertake the general
reorganization of the National
Guard prior to the demobilization of
the former National Guard units
from the United States army."

Wemple Is Given Chance By Judge To Repent and
Do Justice To His Aged Parent Whom He Struck.
Police had to place Hubert Wem

ster streets. I
William Taylor, automobile man,

Wemple strike the old woman, who
suffered the effects of a blackened
eye and cuts about the head at the
hands of her son. Taylor gave
Wemple a viciotfs beating and threw
him into his car, then brought him
to the police station.
Paroled to Brother.
Yesterday morning in police
court the weeping mother's plead
ings for her son moved Police

is brother, George, a mail clerk
at the Council Bluffs terminal.
Among a number of prisoners ar
rested for vagrancy, selling "dope"
and committing larceny, Wemple
could be heard yelling for mercy

fense. '
When called before the judge yes

rush for his bruised mother who
sat in the court room. Embracing
each other, both appeared before
the judge. Wemple hung his heads!
in shame and covered his face.
Calls Him Contemptible Cur. "
"Among all the dope heads, drunk
ardsthieves and alley rats that have
appeared before me, you're the
worst," Police Judge Foster said.
"You're a contemptible cur. You
haven't a spark of manhood in you.
but for the sake of your mother, I'll
parole you to your brother. Now,
go. Be a man."
Wemple recently opened a barber
shop bought by his mother at 3010
North Twenty-fourth street. Tues
day night, when the aged woman
asked her son to help her on a street
car at Seventeenth and Webster
streets, he became angry and start
ed beating her. V
AD Comforts of Home
Fail to Draw Woman
Housemaid to Jersey
Montclair, N. J., April 23. Harold
F. Page's advertisement for a "lady
to assist in light house work" has
brought responses which have led
him to believe that he may have to
offer $10,000 or so worth of Liberty
bonds, or a mortgage on nis home
to secure help for his wife.
"It's a great life if vou don't weak
en," said Page tonight. "I see where
1 11 have to raise the ante.
He had three replies today to his
advertisement. The first was signed
"Bourgeosie" and was not impress
ive. The second liked his idea of hav
ing her meals served in bed but in
sisted that he breakfast must not be
served earlier than 10:30. She de
manded services of a lady's maid
and her salary ($200 a month) in
advance. Besides, she barred all
work which might spoil her well
manicured nails.
The third couldn't stand having
her meals in bed unless serv
ed before 7, but as to the flowers the
advertisement promised to provide
I simply adore them. And as for
bonbons "oh," boy, lead me to
them."

British Doubt Turkey Is
In Hands of Bolsheviki
London, April 23. The rumor
that a soviet government had been
set up in Turkey, which attracted
much attention here, yesterday, re
mains entirely without confirmation
and now is treated with considerable
incredulity. It is pointed out that
the source of the news (Odessa), is
in the hands of the bolsheviki, and
that British warships at Constanti
nople being equipped with wireless
plants might have been expected to
report the fact, if the rumor was
true, but nothing has been heard
from. the fleet.
Company Officer Must
Return Stock to Man
He Bought It From
Three hundred shares of stock in
the Lion Bonding and Surety com
pany were ordered returned to
James M. Havs in a decision handed
down yesterday by District Judge
Day after a week of hearing the
suit brought by Hays against Henry
Haubens, 'president, and C. W.
Shaffer, officers of the company.
Mr. Haubens and other officers of
the company bought Mr. Hays'
stock for $125 a share December 27,
1917. Mr. Hays had written to Mr.
Haubens, asking him to find a pur
chaser for his stock. On December
31, according to the testimony, Mr.
Haubens turned over the stock to
a syndicate that had been organized
by P. H. Kohl and E. F. Guerney
for $170 a share. The stock is now
said to be selling for $200 a share.
V Mr. Haubens testified that he did
not know the sale of the Hays
stock had been made until January
8, but Judge Day said he found it
hard to believe this statement.
"An officer in a company has no
right to buy stock from a stock
holder at a low price when he has
inside information of a deal which
the stockholder as a stockholder has
just as much right to know as an
officer in the company has," said
Judge Day.

owned by Mrs. Robert Hamilton,
daughter of T. F. Stroud, is still
missing.
Mrs. Nellie Trudell, wife of one
of the three robbers, is still being

nection with knowing something of

released from the Auburn jail their
baggage was searched, and approx
imately $2,000 worth of morplfine
was found among their effects.
