MORE POWER FOR
GREAT NORTHERN
Erecting New Plant to Cost
$20.000.000 to Supply
Train Power.
Seattle, WV.sh., March 14.—Marking: the
beginning of h gigantic plan for tremen
dous development of all its rail lines in
the Pacific northwest, at a cost estimât
ed to be 20,000.000, announcement has
! been made by officials of the Great
Northern Railway company that the Che
lan river hydro-electric power scheme
would be built at once. The plant is
produce 150,000 horsepower to operate
the company's lines from Spokane
Seattle.
The plan is also to electrify the coast
lines of the Great Northern between
Vancouver. B. C., and Portland, Ore.,
total of over 500 miles of railroad, much
of which is double tracked.

since the late
James Hill sent J. T. McCheseney of
Everett quietly to inspect the power
scheme. McCheseney, after an investi
gation, reported favorably. He was then
instructed by Mr. Hill to buy the ri
parian rights and other interests of those
who controlled the waters of the Chelan
river and enough of the shores of the
lake to answer the purpose of the cheme.
McCheseney's work was carried out with
such diplomacy that ru. one was aware
of Mr. Hill's game.
The Great Northern will he equipped
with the L. 'est and most powerful loco
motives. The construction of pole lines
and other transmission equipment nec
essary for the complete electrification of
the entire system west of the Idaho line
has begun. The investment will pay
handsomely, railroad .men assert, be
cause of the lessened cost of motive
power, the facility for making more
stable and even train schedules over
plain, valley and mountain divisions and
a reduction of running time, on the
whole, between Spokane. Seattle and
Portland.

DUFFY BEGGED BATHER
T HIN EARN I LIVING
Inquiry Into Death of the Man
Found in Tunnel Shows
He Was Hermit.
That John H. Duffy, whose decom
posed body was found in the Leonard
Rarus airline tunnel last Sunday, pre
ferred living In a tunnel and subsisting
on remnants of lunch begged from
miners to working for a living was the
chief development of Coroner Lane's
inquiry into Duffy's death held last
night. The jury returned a verdict
that Duffy had succumbed to lack of
nourishment and exposure,
Colin F. McGibbon. an oiler employed
at the West Colusa, testified that he
had known Duffy for 14 years. He
said the man was apparently in good
health, but seemed to prefer the life of
a hermit and beggar to one of toil. He
said Duffy was eccentric in his dress
and always walked along as if in deep
meditation.
Other witnesses told of seeing Duffy
begging about the mine gates. They
declared that he was not Insistent in
his demands for leftovers from the
lunch buckets and always appeared
courteous.
None knew- anything of the man's an
tecedent« and it is probable thaï he
will be burled at public expense.

CAN'T FORCE MEN
INTO THE ARMY|
What the Law Provides, as In
terpreted by the Secre
tary of War.
The Post's Washington Bureau.
Washington, D. C., March 14.—Citi
zens of Montana will be interested in
learning from Secretary of War New
ton D. Baker himself that they are se
cure from being drafted into the regu
lar army.
For some time publications have
been appearing, supplemented by word
of mouth expressions, to the effect that
under the Hay-Chamberlain law the
unorganized militia, a term that ap
plies to Tom, Dick and Harry, may be
drafted, willy-nilly, into military serv
ice. Representative Ralph W. Moss
of Indiana took the matter up with
Secretary of War Baker and has a re
ply from the latter which quiets all
doubts on the subject.
"It has been repeatedly asserted."
said Representative Moss, "that the
Hay-Chamberlain army bill confers
large powers on the president to draft
citizens into the army. I recently
asked the secretary of war to give me,
over his signature, the actual power
to draft citizens which is conferred on
the president and under what condi
tions this power may be exercised. His
reply needs no comment to be under
stood. No man can be drafted under
any conditions in time of pea<'e. As
congress has the sole power to declare
war, no citizen can be drafted until
congress shall have declared war
against some foreign power. More
over, no citizen can be drafted even in
time of war under existing law to
serve in the regular army. The law
authorizes voluntary enlistments in
the national guard up to a total
strength of B00 men for each congres
sional district. In time of actual war
a reserve battalion is to be recruited
for every regiment of the national
guard which is called into the service
of the United States, and if for any
reason voluntary enlistments in the re
serve battalion are not sufficient to
keep up the wastage of the regiment
which is in actual service, then the
president may draft men from the un
organized militia in sufficient numbers
to keep this regiment up to full
strength. The extreme limit of the
president's power to order a draft un
der the Hay-Chamberlain law con
sists of maintaining a force on the bat
tlefield equal to 800 effective men for
every congressional district, and this
degree of power can only be exercised
after full opportunity is given to the
nation for voluntary enlistments.
"This law," added Representative
Moss, "has been declared to threaten
the liberties o^ a fYee people and td
create a military system rivalling those
of Germany and Russia. Can mis
representation on any subject go fur
ther?"
The letter of Secretary of War
Baker, which Is made public with Uie
latter's permission. Is as follows:
"My Dear Sir: Referring to your
lettei* In which you Request to be fur
nished with an official interpretation
of section 79 of the Hay-Chamberlain
army bill with reference to the power
j of the president to draft citizens be
Î tween the ages of 18 and 45 years into
j the military service of the United
j States under the terms of existing law,
I have the honor to inform you as
j follows:
"Ry reference to the act in question
you will observe that there are two
sections in the bill which you mention
relating to the power of draft, one
being section 3 and the other section
79. The general provision is in sec
tion 3. which authorizes the president
to draft into the military service any
and all members of the national guard
and of the national guard reserve dur
ing a period of war, but only 'when
congress shall have authorized the use
of the armed land forces of the United
States for any purpose requiring the
use of troops in excess of those of the
regular army.' There is here no ad
vance delegation of authority to the
president to impose a draft. Congress
must act before the power may be ex
ercised.
"In section 79 of the act-there is an
advance delegation to the president of
a limited power of draft in time of
war That section provides that when
j ® eml>er> of the national guard and
the enlisted reserve thereof of any
, state, territory or the District of Co
lumbia shall have been brought into
the service of the United States in
time of war. there shall be immedi- j
jately organized for each regiment of!
j infantry or cavalry, each nine batteries ;
s of field artillery and each 12 com- :
I f* n,es °, f coast artillery brought into
j the service, one reserve battalian. and !
. further provides:
If for any reason there shall not
he enouxh voluntary enlistments to!
Keep the reserve battalions at the pre- I
scribed strength, a sufficient number
or the unorganized militia shall t-e '
drafted Into the service of the T'nited ;
biates to maintain each of said bat-1
talions at the proper strength '
"No further action by congress is j
recessary and the president proceeds
under the authority of this section
when war exists to exercise the draft- I
m* power, hut it rlainly appears that 1
it is not an unlimited power, and mav '
be exercised only insofar as necessary
keep the recruit battalions of the 1
national guard in position to supply
I vacancies occurring by death or other
cause in any organisation of the na
tional guard brought into the service
of the Vnited States.
' " nw ' answers to the two queries
which you propound concerning this
sublect are as follows;
I "Question A — Under the Hav
| Chamberlain b!U, in time of pea«,
. can the president draft anv man to
, serve either In the militia or In the
negular army without the man having
first volunteered and Joined a com
j panv of militia?

Question B—In time of actual war

"Answer—No. The president has no
authority under any circumstances to
increase thç/ statutory maximum

of the national guard.
"You will observe that neither sec
tion 79 nor section 111 relates to the
regular army, and while the national
defense act provides for an increase
In the regular army in time of war. yet
this increase must be accomplished,
unless future legislation should pro
vide otherwise, solely by voluntary
enlistments, there being no existing
authority under which the president
can draft men for this branch of the
service.
"With reference to the national
guard, however, it will be seen, as al
ready explained, the president, in the
event that the reserve battalions au
thorized by law are not kept up to the
