4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1895. * e e e e ARIZONA GUARD ROW. Trouble Follows Governor Hughes' Summary Action. OFFICERS WILL RESIGN. Orders Revoking the Finding of | a Court-Martial Create a Furor. VERGING UPON DISSOLUTION. Militia Circles Aroused Over the Re- instatement of Men Guilty of Insubordination. PH@ENIX, Ariz., Dec. 1.—The order is- sued by Governor L. C. Hughes during the past week, in which, by virtue of the | authority conferred upon him as comman- der-in-chief of the National Guard of Ari-{ zona, he entirely revokes the action of a | court-martial convened by the adjutant- general, and sustains two officers and a private who were found guilty of grossin-| subordination at Tucson on july 4 of this year, is being carried into effect. It is cre- ating the greatest kind of excitement in National Guard circles of Arizona, it being | freely admitted on all sides t his action threatens the complete dissolution of this arm of the National Guard service. The commissioned officers are talking of re- signing in a body, and privates are dis- cussing the probability of their being mus- tered ou:. The facts in the case show that on July 4 of this year Captain 1. Trayer (Com- vany I'), Lieutenant D. L. Hughes (the Governor's nephew, by the way, Company ))and F Tir: T F ate Robert Brophy, all of the Regiment, N. G. A., were guilty of ant disobedience of orders and un- pardonable breach of discipline. From | the evidence adduced at the courtmartial, | something which has never been made | public, but which has been secured in this | instance, and in this instance only, it ap- | pears that Company F, Captain Trayer’ command, had agreed between themselves to march at the heaa of the parade or not march at all. The military code of Arizona requires that all companies, N. . parade twice a year—on Washington’s Birthday and In- dependence D ‘When the divis parade were assigned their pl sou on the Jatter date of thisy , it hap- pened that those in charge deemed it ad- wisable to assign the bicycle division the place at the head of the line, the two com- panies already mentioned being assigned ns directly behind. This angered | ® the men, and when Colonel J. H. Martin ordered “Forward, march!” Captain Trayer extended his sword in front of his command, and the entire command re- | This kept the rest of the| g which, the bicycle | sion returned. Colonel Martin again | gave the order, “Forward, march!’ and | again Captain Trayer drew his sword and | extended it in front of his command. | Colonel Martin then ordered Lieutenant Hughes of Company D to place Captain Trayer under arrest. Lieutenant Hughes refused and Private Brophy of his com- 3 pany commented in an audible tone of voice, “That's right”” Colonel Martin | proceeded to the head of the procession | and fora third time ordered a forward. | Thistime the column moved on, leaving | the two officers standing in the road. All } of this occurred in the presence of the | thousands of people who had gathered | there to participate in the celebration. When the companies returned to their barracks the men gathered around their | icers, who were supposed to be under ar- parade wait t, and cheered them repeatedly. Jolonel Martin was a little late in arriv- mg, but when he appeared the men *heered their officers again. This is char- acterized by those high in authority and who are now d ng the case asgross | msubordination not actual mutiny. Colonel Martin, having no alternative, | reported the day's vroceedings to the | 1djutant-general, who in turn reported to | simself as standing in the place of the | :ommander-in-chief, Governor Hughes, | ~ho was absent at the time, and took im- | nediate action by ordering Major R.| Allyn Lewis. acting inspector-general, to | nake an inves jor Lewis pro- seeded immediately to Tucsor, and, dis- rovering the facts to be as already related, eported them to Adjutant-General Ed- | vard Schwartz, who issued general orders | irst reducing all non-commissioned offi- | :ers of Company F who were present for luty on that date to the ranks and -dis- tharging them, together with all the en- isted men who were present for duty in | hat company. Adjutant-Géneral Schwartz | 10w states that he would never have acted n the premises had he not had aunthority | rom the Governor to do so. By the same order Colonel Martin was | mpowered to see that its provisions were | xecuted. Complying with this order | Jolonel Martin discharged the first ser- .eant, three sergeants, five corporals and | wenty-six men, reporting his action to | he Adjutant-General’s office. | Upon receiving this report General | lehwartz issued orders, calling a court | nartial of three majors—one of whom, . Allen Lewis, was Judge Advocate— hree captains and four first lieutenants, | rhich convened at Tucson, July 15, 1895. | 3efore this court Captain Thayer appeared nd, although it is claimed he had an bundance of time to prepare his case, | sked for a continuance, which was re- | used. The accused then pleaded guilty, thereupon, the court martial found them ‘guilty of . gross insubordination, if not | ctual mutiny,” and sentenced them to be ishonorably dismissed from the service | nd confined for a period of five daysin | be Pima County Jail. As provided by the military code of Ari- ona, these proceedings were sealed and ransmitted to the Governor for review nd final adjudication. After a postpone- 1ent of nearly five months he has finally rken action. The findings of the court- iartial, however, have never been pub- | shed and to this day the men know noth- 1gof what occurred at the time nor how 1e accused pleaded. ‘What causes’led the Governor to decide 1 the way he has are not known. Some ty that Mrs, Hughes, his wife, had a good eal to do with it, since it is well known aat her influence is felt in the executive fice. Certain people claim that Captain + M. Trayer knows of some actions which ‘ould not redound to the Executive's ‘edit and which, if divulged, might cause is removal. It is openly stated in the armory that | when | martial have or will send in | mediately. the captain told the Governor that if those proceedings were approved he (Captain Trayer) would take steps to have the Gov- ernor removed. And finally, it is stated, that it was because his nephew, Lieutenant D. L. Hughes, was one of the guilty par- ties, or that it was his ignorance of mili- itery affairs. But whatever the reason, his order is unprecedented in military an- and according to those high in au- thority a most remarkable document. It is stated that some powerful and cogent reason must have been brought to bear, since the order is a directslapat Adjutant- General Schwartz. The executive order is not appended to the findings of the court-martial, which have not been made public, but starts out by saying that the order reducing the non-commissioned officers wasillegal, since he did not officially sign it; butinasmuch as Adjutant-General Schwartz 1s empowered to act for him, this amounts to a revocation of his own order. The order goes on to state that the court- martial was illegally convened, since he did not issue the order. The Adjutant- General fiatly states that the order was submitted to and approved of by him. Now, having found that the men were il- legally dismissed and the court-martial illegally convened, he views the latter's action and says that even had it been le- gally convened he'should have revoked the | findings, since Captain Trayer was refused | four hours’ postponement, and states that this action was disregarding the ninety- third article of war, The statement that Captain Trayer asked for a postponment of only four hours is flatly proclaimed an untruth by those who claim to know. He says that Colonel J. H. Martin, whom the mea are accused of disobeying, was in command of the First Regiment G. A., for adminis- trative purposes only, and had no author- | ity to act, since he could not place himself n command, but had to wait upon the ac- tion of a superior officer, and that the proper ones to command were Major John A. Black, or, in his absence, Captain John M. Trayer. Irasmuch as Colonel J. H. Martin was elected to the colonelcy of the regiment by vote of the men, this action of the Governor is unusual, because there is no such thing as a colonel withoat power to command known to military usage. He also places Major John A. Black ahead of Captain Trayer, the latter, in event of his criticism being well founded, outranks Major Black. Again, he says that the men are accused, in the charges made against them before the court martial, of | insubordination while the regiment was parading as a battalion, and that this could not be since the battalion formation was discontinued May 30, 1895. Just how this disposes of the charge of insubordina- tion is not clear to the old army men, who | are freely discussing the order in its en- tirety. The Governor concludes his order | by statinz that the sentencing of the men t0 jail was an error, since it was a flagrant | disregard of the military code of Arizona, the proper section of which provides that there shall be no punishment severer than dismissal from service in time of peace. After finding all this, however, Governor | Hughes flaty contradicts himself by ad- mitting that there was insubordination | bordering on mutiny; that the men were flagrantly culpable, and escaped punish- ment only on account of error and techni- cality, This, in the opinion of army offi- cers, 1s establishing a precedent which, if | followed, would mean insubordination at any time an inferior officer would feel dis- posed to disobey the orders of his superior. The National Guardsmen are intensely excited. Colonel J. H. Martin, it is rumored, has sent in his resignation. The adjutant-general may possibly send in his. All the officers who presided at the court- theirs, and thus the National Guard of Arizona is { threatened with total disruption. On all ies the men are accusing the Governor of incompetency, vacillation and weak- ness. TOWNS COMING I LINE Interest in the Convention Fight Spreading Over Cali- fornia. Additional Assurances That San Fran. cisco Will Be the Success- ful City. In every part of the State the cities and towns ave falling into line and mustering their final forces to capture the Republi- | can National Convention with a prompt- ness and enthusiasm that promise suc- | eess in all of its enriching completeness. The people of the interior are rapidly be- giuning to realize what the thing means, and for the past few days the managers of the great movement in this City have had their hands full with the most encourag- ing messages from every section of Califor- nia. Only two daysago Marysville, Visalia, Madera and other places were the scenes of enthusiastic gatherings of prominent men, all combined in one vigorous effort to help San Francisco in the great'contest, and so help themselves in the assured de- velopment of their various sections by the meeting of the President-makers in the metropolis. The committee on promotion which has been charged with the work of arousing interest in the matter throughout the State is in hourly receipt of congratulatory and encouraging telegrams. Colonel Albert Castle, who directs the committee’s work, has already heard from nearly a score of towns where the citizens have indicated their willingness to help matters along, and propose to hold meetings im- ‘To-night the Republicans of Yuba County will gather at Marysville { and decide upon methods which will con- i the | tribute to San Francisco's success in fight with the big cities of the East. In- | formation to this effect was received from there last night, and recites the following: MARYSVILLE, Dec. 1. The Republicans of Yuba County will meet in this city to-morrow evening to give expres- sion in favor of San Francisco as the place for holding the National Convention in 1896. The County Central Committee issued the call. From the Eastern cities the Promotion Committee has received late reports which completely confirm the opinion that San Francisco is pretty far in the lead. In Chicago the business men have only made preparations for the canvass for funds, and the active work will probably not be- gin for several days. Some very ener- getic work, however, will be done, and there are reasons to believe that California h'nu 1o great number of days to lose in get- ting things into shape, Thisfact is being impressed upon the citizens in the interior by the Promotion Committee with all Pos- sible rapidity and emphasis. When Buffalo withdrew from the conven- tion race on Friday, the boomers in Pitts- burg had a setback which has considerably interrupted the work in that city. But Pittsburg has not by any means withdrawn from the contest. Mayor Rader of Los Angeles isstill in Cleveland, pushing San Francisco’s claims with considerable en- thusiasm. In all of the battling cities the champions of the Western metropolis are vigorously at work, and no time is being lost by them to make San Francisco the convention city. L WORKING FOR SAN FRANCISCO. ZLocal Committeemen and Many Senators Pulling Together in Washington. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 1.—THE CALL correspondent had a long talk with Colonel James S. Clarkson at the Shore- ham Hotet to-night on San Francisco’s prospect of securing the convention. Dur- ing this afternoon Mr. Clarkson met Sena- tor Quay, Senator Carter, Elkins of West Virginia, Powell Clayton of Arkansas, Dick Kerens of Missouri, and other promi- nent Republican leaders. “I find,” said Mr. Clarkson, *‘that very many committeemen are favorable to San Francisco, and 1 believe that to-day a majority of them are with us, but rival cities are making great use of statements printed East about San Francisco’s tele- graphic facilities. The Western Union has made a statement to the effect that they would have to expend $250,000 to supply facilities adequate to the great de- maund that Eastern dailies will make on the company for news reports. Eastern newspapers (the big and influential ones) will fight San Francisco, and their on- slaught is already baving its effect. “I am afraid that some of the weak- kneed ones in our camp will be in- fluenced. You cannot impress upon your people too strongly the necessity of send- ing statements East by private or by press reports, or any way at all, calculated to impress Eastern Republicans and Enstern newspapers especially that telegraphic fa- cibities will be adequate. “Another thing, too, other cities which have not been active are getting to work in earnest. St. Louis, which was resting on 1ts oars for awhile, has waked up. Powell Clayton of Arkansas is for St. Louis, so is Dick Kerens, committeeman from Missouri, and Steve Elkins of West Virginia, “The latter saw Senator Allison to-day and told him that if the convention went to San Francisco many delegates would have to hustle to get funds for their e: venses, and some States might not be fully represented unless by proxy. “Senator Allison said: ‘Poppycock, Stephen, they will all gather. There would be lots of visitors there, too. It is no farther west than it is east and dis- tance will not cut as much figure as you imagine. However, I do not wish to in- fluence the action of the committeemen. I only say that as far as I am concerned I am not favoring any particular place. 1 do not share the belief that any delegates would stay away from the convention if it were held in San Francisco.” ““These words of Senator Allison are cal- culated to encourage the San Franciscans, and were a balin and tonic for them, inas- much as it was reported to-night that Tom Carter of Montana was working in favor of Chicago. There seems little doubt that Carter has gone back on San Francisco. Colonel Clarkson believes Car- ter is for Chicago. Colonel Clarkson says, furthermore, that great pressure must be brought to bear upon Thomas C. Platt of New York, who virtually controls the sit- uation, and at this time he seems unalter- ably opposed to San Francisco. “Benator Quay told me to-night that next to Pitsburg he favored San Francisco, and that if Pitttsburg could not get the convention he would help us all he could. In short, there is no reason for discourage- ment, and every reason to believe that with a sirong pull all together, we will drag the big elephant to the Golden Shore. But let me impress upon your people again your California committee must come here armed with facts which will show conclusively that telegraph offices there wili be prepared 1o handle the news. “1 wish Mr. Shortridge would come on. He was received so weli in New York by the big Republican guns, and is such a good all-round mixer that his presence here would be of incalculable value to us.” Two of the California committee arrived at the Ebbitt House to-night, viz.: Editor H. Z. Osborne of the Los Angeles Express and Frank Rader, Mayor of Los Angeles. They were very much fatigued from their long trip and retired early without seeing Clarkson, Quay or any prominent Repub- licans, They will be up early to-morrow to begin their campaign. Mr. Osborne said to Tug Cary correspondent to-night he stopped in Chicago, and while Chicago seemed to be making some efforts, only the hotel men were back of it. He was told in the Chicago Tribune office that the prominent people and press had not actively begun any operations yet, and he was not sure that they would. Mr. Osborne was assured by Mr. Storror, Postal Telegraph manager, before he left, that telegraphic service would be sufficient for all demands made by Eastern dailies. Mr. Osborne realizes that committeemen | must be impressed with that fact, and it | will demand his attention to-morrow. LADIES' DAY AT INGLESIDE The Fair Sex Will Be Admitted Free of Charge Every Wednesday. RACING WILL BE POPULAR. Items of Interest to Horsemen—Griffin Will Ride on Wednesday. To-Day's Entries. With a magnanimity that has character- ized the dealings of the Pacitic Coast Joc- key Club with horsemen and the general public since its inception the directors, at a meeting held yesterday, decided thatin future Wednesday of each week will be known as ladies’ day, the fair sex being admitted without charge. With a grand stand filled with female loveliness the knights of the pigskin will ride their pret- tiest, and Wednesday can be looked for ward to as the most popular day of the week at picturesque Ingleside. s It was also decided at the meeting that stalls engaged by owners at the track and not yet occupied will not be reserved longer than Wednesday of the present week. Harry Griffin, the crack lightweight jockey, will not be scen in the saddle be- fore Wednesday. Had he been riding the horses owned by Burns & Waterhouse, by which firm he has been engaged to ride, that started in Saturday’s mnnmf events, that stable would undoubtedly have had two races to its credit. The events referred to are the ones in which Princess Noretta and Fannie Louise finished second and third respectively. Bob Isom, who has been engaged to do the lightweight riding for the stable of President A. B. Spreckels of the new club, was expected to arrive here yeuterday_. In future when a race does not fill, or for some unforesecen reason hasto be de- clared off, a black flag will be hoisted over the secretary’s office at Ingleside track. The different stables quartered on the track will thus be notified and can make entries in the newly created race under Eossib!y more fitting conditions for their orses. Henry Stull, the noted painter of equines, who came to California last win- ter under contract with W. O'B. Mac- donough to reproduce on canvas a likeness of the great Ormonde, arrived in the City from New York yesterday. Arno, Tommy Butler’s likely galloper, has been added to the list and sent to San ose. The same owner has leased to *‘Gog” O’Brien his filly Spry Lark. ‘‘Gog” had good success 1n handling Perhaps and may win a race or two with the speedy but erratic Miss. Ramiro, the Baldwin entry, is extensive- ly tipped to win the opening race to-day, but it would not be surprising to see Salis- bury, the fine-looking son of Racine and imp. Flirt, improve on his race of Friday. Pepper outclasses his field and will dispose of them handily. Fred Gardner is in re- cei&-t of pounds of weight from Peter IT and will make the Brutus horse extend himself in the mile handicap. Star Ruby was a good performer East and looks to have the best of Installator at the weights in the fourth event. Laura F likes heavy going and should come pretty close to landing the last race on the card. The muddy going still keeps the entries down, but there is much class about the starters to-day and they should furnish some excellent sport.

MILKMEN WHD RETRICKY They Water Milk They Supply to Cheap Restaurants and Hotels. Inspector Dockery, to Circumvent Them, Is Raiding These Places, With Good Results. Inspector Dockery has been planning to circumvent milkmen who are determined | to sell watered or adulterated milk. He has found that several dealers are in the habit of driving into the City with two or three empty cans. It did not take the shrewd inspector long to understand the | meaning of the empty cans in the wagons. | As soon as he had concluded his exam- | ination of the milk in the other cans and | large number of restaurants and hotels | and took samples of the milk. As a result | of Saturaay’s raid warrants will be sworn out to-day for the arrest of J. Johnson, restaurant, 153 Third street; I. Hurley, | restaurant, 43 Third street; J. Popert, Washington Hotel, Fourth and Harrison streets; F. Uster, dairyman, 143 Third street; John Reagan, restaurant, Third and Mission streels, and the proprietor of the Chicago Restaurant, 207 Third street. Popert asked the inspector: “‘How do you expect me to give a meal for 20 cents and include a glass of good m:lk?” The 1nspector replied that the price of his meals had nothing to do with him, but he would insist upon pure milk being sup- plied to customers. —————— HAVING A GAY TIME. A Saloon-Keeper and Fourteen of His Patrons Arrested. James Feeney, saloon-keeper on the cor- ner of Franklin and Hayes streets, had a big crowd in his saloon at an early hour yesterday morning.

Senators Shoupe and Squires were seen by THE CALL corre- spondent to-night and each is heartily in favor of San Francisco. They will work energetically, too, and are not discouraged because of Tom Oarter’s desertion.

He vpursued his investigation and ascer- tained that the dealers who watered their milk in this way had as their customers the proprietors of cheap restaurants and hotels.. It would require an army of in- :gecto_rs to follow these dealers and catch em in the act, so he has taken the next best way to keep up a perpetual raid on these restaurants and hotels. Every time he finds the milk not up to the standard he will swear out warrants for the arrest of the proprietors and compel them in :H-delenne to deal only with honest milk- en.

Glindermann Beat H, Burfeind in aFriendly 5 Rifle Contest, The riflemen at the Shell Mound shoot- ing range yesterday were greatly inter- ested in a fifty-shot match between W. Glindermann and H. Burfeind. It was a handicap affair in more than one way. Glindermann shot with a muzzle rest and Burfeind off hand. The latter, however, was allowed three rings to each shot, or 150 points on the match. When the fifty shots each were fired it was found that Glindermann had won by 53 points. He made 1174 points to Burfeind’s 969, with 150 allowed, which made 1119 points, Both marksmen did good shooting, as is ! shown by the annexed scores: W.Glindermann—23, 24,24, 24,23, 22, 2 25, 25, 23, 24, 23, 23, 2 When the last medal shoot of the Cali- | fornia Schuetzen Club was finished at | Schuetzen Park yesterday afternoon Mec- Laughlin had another golden badge to put | 22, 23, 2 25, 22, 23, 21, 11,15, 24, 12, 22, 2: 19,30, 13, 20, 21, 23, 18, 2 H.
