FERRIS PLEASED WITH TROOPS
The reduction in the force of troop?,
which now number l,tti ha half the
present : (length, and the mounting of
more irrn. probably will occur early
next week as the result i t a meetinx
of tin- mltttatry board this afternoon.
This move follows asonmnosg that the
civil authorities haVO a sufficient force
of deputies to preserve order. How
ever, the military force will not bo
weaken, d to the extent that the sit
uation will get beyond the control of
the National ggggtg, The action Is
needs esessosry by the asexsgries cost

of the cavalry and signal corps hns
been placed on patrol duty and the
effectiveness of the guard has thua
been materially increased. Many in
fantrymen haVO expressed a desire to
tnter the patrol ranks and little diffi
culty in recruiting that division Is ex
pected. Ferris Pleased With Tioopfc.
iin- net are of ineniasnh islliaas re
ceived gjgseet daily from Governor
Fnrrkl indicates that he is thoroughly
satisfied with the conduct of the troop
in the strike zone. Meanwhile, he
has frequently expressed h: pleasure
with the manner in which General Ah
bs) has conducted the situation and
he pints implicit confidence in the
judgment if the gensraL continual
reports that a-.- ht ing tiled by strike
k ' h is and agitators protesting
BgntttSt the troupe therefore have lit
tle WStght with the state's executive.
The attitude of Governor Ferris, like
wise, is received with a degree of
pttdg hy the militiamen whose actions
and conduct have proven that they
have been and are neutral in the dis
pute. Men Have Admirable Record.
The record of the troopa bespeaks
