3 DOOM OF 60ARD SEEN IN HAY ACT Itecruitlng Virtually Has Censed and Veterans Will Not Kccnllst. OBJECT TO DUAL OATH Ken Returning From Texas Border Sec Only Hope in Compulsory Service. What I the national defence act no ire to do, cure or kill the National Guard? That la the question which has presented Itxclf to every guardsman aa soon as he has returned from the, Texna I order and haa had time to took Into the workings of the bill which President Vllwn signed last June. In the first jilare, the new law ha killed recruiting In the National Guard. In the second a lacr, It has caused many a man, who on til fjlllifully In tho cactus all sum mer and autumn, to avoid rcenllstment. Rilhcr than nlgn up for three moro years of "active service" and pledgo himself to go anywhere In tho Unltil Matr, the man In tho ranks Is joining the reserve for three years or else he Is dropping out. This applies to a great many men whoso terms were up while they were on the border or after they returned home. At the request of Tits SUN, National Guard officers discussed yesterday the exit effects of the Hay law nnd frankly admitted that the guard Is up against It, They wouldn't admit the guard Is In the dying condition described by the regulars, but they could not get around the lack of recruiting and the failure of veterans to reenter the ranks. Same In Other States. tt Is not only In this State that the Njtlon.il Guard Is beginning to crumble. Outside of New York rcglmcnA havo rrfued to subscribe to the dual oaths railed for by the Federal Government. The office of the Adjutnnt-Cleneral. L. S. A., makes tho, estimate that 24,600 men now mustered Into Federal service are (till classed as "organlied militia." The War Department served notice that unify these men, enough to make tuenty-four peace strength regiments, look the Federal oath by November 30 they would be disbanded. The pronounced reluctance of these :i,00 men to enter the Federal National iuard has led the War Department to , ixant the time for taking the oath. Not only can the War Department dissolve a regiment for failure to he roine a Federal unit, but also for Its neglect to live up to the standard. The National (iuard of New York city will stand little chance of being passed by the War Department' and being placed on the payrolls If the statement made yesterday by Lieut-Col. Merrltt II. Smith, acting commander of the First Field Artillery, is a fair summary of present conditions. Little Interest la Drills. "I have heard that other organiza tions which came home ahead of us are taking very little Interest In their drills. But that Is natural. They are letting down after the strenuous work on the border. "I have had no opportunity to Judge as yet regarding the effect of tho new law. I, like all other National Guard officers, am awaiting developments. My rerlmcnt went to Texas and came back in good shape. It would go again If railed upon. Tliey did mighty good work and I heard no grumbling." "Hut what about the number of re cruits ulnce mobilization?" "We took down a lot with us, and fifty were sent down after we left. I don't know how many we havo picked up since we returned." Col. Willard C. Fisk of the Seventh Infantry was moro speclllc about re- ruitinn. lie admitted that nothing has bn done In that line. Tho fact is. ns points! out by the ncrvlce journals, the Knler.il authorities have ceased to spend lon.-y trying to gpt new guardsmen. The national defence net provided for an increase In the National Guard to I.'.',ikhi. Not only did tho additional 3fin.fi.io recruits fall to show up, but 'lie number of those enrolled before the mobilization began to shrink. Ill Optimism .Not Shared.

One saia ne nas been Informed that 60 per cent, -of certain commands had re linquished their Interest In their or ganli.itlons after being mustered out of tho Federal service. It Is Impossible to say just now how many men In the Seventh have decided RERtnst the National Guard, but three non-commissioned officers In one of the crack companies of that regiment have taken action In a wny which Illustrates tho spirit of a considerable number. One of, the three, not knowing what tho law requires of him If he rccnllsts for three years of active service, has gono Into the reserve. The second quit when his term was through. Tho third didn't know whether his tlm , ,.. , and as no one could tell him he stayed' "f "u iiupc.i mey wm lorget him. Comtsliorr Service Urged.

"mtin ,u in c State yesterday expressed his approval ui cmurcru training, uui ne said this system would not do away with tho guard. . Word came from Albany yesterday that National Guard officers In the cap ital consider the "federalization" of their organization ns a serious error. It will bo necessary to amend the national dc fenco act, said these' officers, so ns to give tho Stato entlro control of Its troops or else to lot tho Federal Gov ernment take up the burden of drilling and equipping the men and maintaining the armories.

When he entered the home of Colagero Vella he Is said to have demanded the JS due for tho two rooms In which Vella. his wife nnd large family live. Vella was not home. Mrs. Vella had the rent money, but she protested the payment. The landlord should fix the broken pane of glass In the kitchen, she said. Already some of her children were suf fering with col. Is.

MANY AT AERIAL REVEL Earl Carroll's Bungalow With Eight Tee Boxes Atop Sky scraper Is Dedicated. Most of Rroadway's younger set of serious thinkers came up for air after midnight yesterday morning In time to gather out on the roof of the eighteen story Godfrey Hulldlng, at Seventh ave nue and Forty-ninth street Ixole Mann thereupon had the elevators stopped temporarily, and then Loote made a lengthy speech, and from the spot on the roof where Loolo was orating to tho nearest 'soft spot on the sidewalk below Is a sheer jump of about 230 feet. The speech was a part of a celebration attendl ig the laying of the cornerstone of the new "Starlit Bungalow," on top of the skyscraper. The clght-room-and-elght-lce-boxes bungalow Is to be tho town house of Earl Carroll, composer of "So Long Letty" and other musical offerings, sad Mrs. Carroll known as Mnrctlle Ilontnbat of tho pictures wherein young Mr. nnd Mrs. Carroll In tend to spend n happy married life which already has lasted almost three months. Tho dedication of the Carrolls' partly finished nerlnl home on the roof offered Louie Mann splendid opportunities, of course, to say a lot of nice things about tho host nnd hostess of the sky hlxh party and about "So Long Irftty," "Up Stairs und Down" or any other Morosco offering that I.oole might care to men tion In the presence of reporters. So l.cole Mann, racing the press gallery present, waded right Into the subject of his cornerstone laying speech, "The Life nnd Magnificent Artistic Successes of America's Greatest Actor." Conies to Sadden Stop, "Passing on now from my scholastic successes In high school, from which, 1 was graduated with the highest honors ever accorded a pupil In that Institution, I as about to enter Harvard or somo school like that and graduate with high- cK honors when I I say I when I " That was as far ns I.oole Mann got for a few moments. It seems that when he was called upon to mnke a speech he had selected ns a rostrum a box of partly set mortar Just outside and within nrm reach of the Carrolls's roof garden Ice box. Some say It was by accident ljOoe Mann happened to stand in the mortar to speak and that his real Inten tion wn to have the audience stand In the mortar and let the mortar set whlla I.oole devoted the first hour or two of his address to sketching his public school successes that led up to the even greater triumphs which awaited him as soon ns he decided to take uf) the drama where Edwin Booth had left It. On the other hand there, were those present who said that ixiole knew what he was doing when he spoke from a spot where the hard set mortar which held his feet would Interfere with any other orator taking the rostrum. But Ixiole hadn't counted on the well known physical fact that a lot of looso mortar contracts excessively when it hardens; nnd about the time tho orator was grad uating himself with highest honors from high school the hard mortar had be gun to squeeze his feet. I.nnlr fnlla for a Pick. I.oole looked appeallngly toward the roof audience nnd tlnally was forced to admit that he wanted some one to get a pick and loosen him, ns he was suffering Intensely. So there nrre cries of "You have nothing on us" and "Three rousing cheers" and other expressions nf sym pathy, whereupon the audience all left I.oole rooted tu the spot where ha stood while they ull climbed down one (light to the vn runt top Moor of tho skyscraper and caller! to the eight barkecps to un cork things that would kill tho chills contracted on the windy roof. l.onle Mann's speech, formidable as; was his oratorical effort, was but an Incident In n p.uty that will go down In Ilroaduny'M social history.

Tho bag which she had worn around her neck, the receptacle for her money and Jewelry, was gone. So was one of her boarders, a tailor, who had been known ns Goldstein.
