HUSIJN WEAR 2]7Grlmt .an.nw?w FINE GUARDSMEN WILL EFFECT GHANGES Soldiers to Be Provided With Krag -Jorgen- sen Rifles. Faults Discovered by Divi- sion Commander Subject of Comment. PSRN Another step in the direction of re- deeming the National Guard of Cali-| ! fornia has been taken. It is the call- ing for a meeting In the Assembly Hall of the Mills building st 2 o'clock on the afternoon of Thursday, Decem- ber 17, of brigade, regimental and other commanding officers for the purpose of discussing matters of in- | terest to the organization and secur- | ing uniformity of instruction and care | of property, to the end that needed | improvements may be made and that | all organizations brought to a degree of efficiency. United States Inspector Colonel Wil- helm and Colonel Bangham, assistant adjutant general, visited the United | States arsenal at Benicia last week and there obtained information to the | effect that during the current week | all organizations of the National Guard in the State will be provided | with Krag-Jorgenson rifles to replace | the Springfields previously {ssued. This will be on the basis of fifty to all companies or organizations except ar- tillery, which will be allowed seventy for each battery. When this arm is issued the commanding officers will | be instructed to the effect that the ! new rifles will have to be cared for | differently from the Springfields and | that they will inspect or have them inspected at least once a month, and further that the weapon will not stand the rough usage that is often given to the Springfield. The arm is more ef- | fective, requiring more attention. The commanding officer of each company of infantry, battery of ar- | tillery and troop of cavalry has been ordered to make immediate requisi- tion direct upon the quartermaster | general for not less than fifty nor | more than sixty dress coats and caps, | except the artillery, which will be | allowed seventy for each battery. | Commanding officers of the Signal | Corps and Sanitary Corps will make | requisition for caps and coats neces- | ; for the number of the men 0(1‘ thei detachments, and regimental | commanderg and the commanding of- ficer of the battalion of artillery will | make requisition for the necessary number for non-commisioned stafl and bands of their commands. If| there are more than sixty men in an organization except the artfllery some men will be shy new caps and new coats. DILATORY OFFICERS. Another evidence of dilatoriness in the National Guard is made apparent | in an order recently issued from head- ! | quarters in Sacramento. It follows: | “The attention of all commanding | | officers, and also all officers of the de- partment of rifle practice is called to | the fact that, with the exception of the report for Troop B, cavalry, 3114‘ reports of target practice for the pres- | ent year are now delinquent so far as | their receipt by the inspector of gen- eral rifle practice is concerned.” At various times in the last two years | orders issued from the various head- | quarters have been sent out in any style and on all sizes of paper, and as this practice has been commented upon adversely orders have been issued that hereafter all orders must be issued on paper 5x7% inches. As soon as the same | | can be obtained from the War Depart- ! ment at Washington, D. C, files of a suitable size for filing letters will be issued to the different organizatoins. The guard of the State has been or- deredh to change the color. of chevrons and trouser stripes from light blue to | white. The division commander has come to | the conclusion that all is not as it should be in the guard, for in a recent order he says: “For the lack of uniformity and in- struction given the men company com- manders are not alone responsible. It is the duty of field officers to frequent- ly visit the companies under their charge and see that they are given complete and uniform instruction in everything that the drill regulations prescribe, not only the usual amount of arms and company movements, but bayonet exercise, guard and outpost duty and extended order. A fleld of- ficer's responsibility is not limited to the period of encampment or of assem- blies for parade. It extends through- out the year for the instruction of both officers and men. COMMANDERS’ OMISSIONS. “Regimental commanders should pre- scribe both the theoretical and the practical instructions for their regi- ments and insure their uniformity in the several companies. To that end they should require their fleld officers to visit the companies frequently for the purpose of instruction. Brigade commanders should visit each unit of their commands, either personally or by | staff, at least once a year. It is noted | with regret that these essentials have | been generally omitted and attempts | made to supply their omissions during | encampments. The work of a year can- { not be crowded into a week of camp. | Much can be accomplished in that time, | but much more can be accomplished if | officers and men are properly instructed 1 In the armories during the year.” | During November twenty-three | listed men have been discharged from | the service of the State out of the Fifth Infantry, sixteen on account of re- | moval, six at expiration of term of en- listment and one for the good of the | service. { The school of instruction for the of- ficers of the Naval Militla at this port ‘was opened on board the Marion last week, with Lieutenant J. T. McMiilan, U. 8. N, of the hydrographic office as instructor. There will be instruction every Monday and Thursday until each officer becomes a proficlent navigator. Arrangements ve been completed for the Naval itia clambake, to be held at California City December 20. line of cutters with men of the two ai- visions in them to the point of destina- tion.

Declares F. H. Knowlton and Annie McNab Were Vic- | tims of Accident. Danlel Sheehan, an unfortunate la- | borer, 62 years old, who was Killed last Thursday by a cave in a sewer on | China avenue, betwesn London and' Paris streets, was blamed by a Com-l ner’s jury yesterday for his own death. | After reciting the circumstances the verdict goes on to say: “And we, the jury, find that said Daniel Sheehan came to his death by accident by not properly supporting the excavation on which he was working.” | Sheehan, with several other laborers, | was digging a trench preparatory to and the them, burying All were speedily ex- tricated without material injury, but the mass of earth had fallen upon Sheehan in such a way as to Krlcture his spine. It appears that the trench was bemg dug on the ground that had been-filled in, and the soil was therefore very loose, a fact unknown to the workmen at the time. The same jury blamed R. C. Hares, | a helper in the United States Mint, who was killed on October 27 in an elevator | accident. The verdict reads: *“And we, the undersigned jurymen, find that the above R. C. Hares came to his death through accident by running the ele- vator in U. 8. Mint through careless- ness by himself. | Verdicts of accident were returned in the cases of F. H. Knowlton, gas suf- | focation, October 27, and Annie Me- Nab, who was suffocated with him. | In the case of Edgar Trefts, killed on | the verdict reads: *“And we, the jury, find that same was caused by accident by trying to jump on the car of the United Rallroads while car | bank caved in upon them to the hips. { was in full motion on Ellis street, be- i low Webster.” A verdict of suicide was rendered in | the case of Gustaf Lofgren, who shot himself through the head last Friday. In the case of Mrs. Ludmiller Bel- mont, who died on October 28, a verdict of natural causes was returned. e No charge for lettering your name in gold on pocketbooks, card cases, cameras, ets. trunks, valises, dress suit cases or any other fine leather goods pur- chased at our store.
