Here’s your opportunity to buy a great, big, thick one, extra well made, that won’t flatten out or get hard and useless like the ordinary kind, at less than half price.

Smith Company SPECIAL PRICE.. 128-132 Ellis Street LE 1 STILL ON TOUR | OF INSPEC | | TION Colonel Wilhelm Finds Much Improvement in Companies of+ the National Guard INCAMPMENT IN' JUNE -Called “Death Line Board” Is Acting Drastically to Maintain High Standard Colonel Wilhelm, the United States and State inspector of the National Guard, concluded the inspection of the companies of the Beventh Infantry at Pasadena in the armory of Company I last Friday. To- morrow night he will inspect Troop C of Salinas, and on the following night he will give his attention to Company B of the Fifth Infantry, in San Jose, and then devote his attentfon to the commands in the Second Brigade, which will take up about three weeks of his time. On this tour he will be accompanied by Major D. A. Smith of the Fifth Infantry, especially | detailed for that purpose. While in Los Angeles last week Colonel Wilhelm in answer to a question as to his observations of the members ol the guard in the Second Brigade said: “‘All that I can say at this time is that I find a most marked improvement in the work of the men since my visit last year. The per- sonnel of the companies is of a high order, and taken as a whole the work is credit- able.” On the other hand, those who stood in battle array before the man who is to re- port to the War Department and the State say that the inspection this year was the strictest and severest they have been put through, and that every man felt that he had to do his best, and did it. Brigadier General Lauck, adjutant gen- eral of the State, hAs gone under orders to Washington, D. C., to attend the ses- slon of the Inters(me National Guard Association, which meets in that city to- morrow. While in Washington the adju- tant general will visit the War Depart- ment and will take up matters in the in- terest of the National Guard of the State. BEFORE DEATH LINE BOARD. Colonel Bradbury, Major Keesling and Major Hunt met last week for the pur- pose of passing on the qualifications of Lieutenant Peter J. Conley, who has been | cited to appear to show that the charge of inefficiency was not true. As this par- ticular board, the first organized under the new law, is one of extraordinary power and is known in other States where such boards are appointed as “the death line board,” and as no one sent there has ever redeemed himself from accusation of incompetency and so forth, the accused lieutenant, appreciating that this last chance was no chance for him, asked to be permitted to resign and his resignation was accepted. So now there is a vacancy in Company E of the First Infantry. Peter J. Conley was a member of the guard for many years, and was promoted from color sergeant to a lieu- tenancy a few months zgo. The fact of his resignation in the face of an ac- cusation of incompetency as to mili- tary duties is looked upon as a pretty severe slap at the examining regimen- tal board that passed on his qualifica- tions and certified that he was all right as to knowledge of his duties. The ex- amining boards have been given to un- derstand that hereafter the passing of | and certifying that he is qualified, when, in fact, he cannot form a squad, much less a company, will make the members of the board amenable to in- | troduction to the death line board. FOUR MORE ON ANXIOUS SEAT. There are four officers in the Second Brigade who within two weeks have received admonition that they must “brush up,” so as to come up to the standard set for the officers under pres- ent conditions, and that if they do not | mend their ways and give proof of rea- | sonable competéncy they will be cited # | before the terrible board, not alone as | to capacity, but moral character and | general fitness for the service. This means that there is a determination to weed out the “good fellow” who thinks more of wine while in uniform than he | does of the duty he has pledged him- self to perform. There will be some | guessing as to who the four are. There is to be the annual encamp- ment this year, but as yet there is noth- ing definite as to time and place, but the imprassion is that it will be about the middle of June, and there is a strong probability that it will be a brigade camp. The reason that June is preferred is that that is the time when business im large cities is lax and men who belong to ,the guard can be spared for ten days with less inconve- nience than at any other time. In the interior towns, where companies are located, that date will not interfere with the farmers nor the vineyardists. The only ones. who would be inconveni- enced would be the fruit growers. June is urged as the proper time on the ground that it will incommode the least number of people. What the camp will be will depend upon what Adjutant General Lauck will be able to do along that line with the War Department at ‘Washington. It has been whispered all along the line in the Second Brigade that offi- | cers of° commands will have to be prompt in the matter of forwarding re- ports through the proper channels, or they will be required to do “some tall explaining to square themselves.” STANDARD MUST BE HIGH. Considerable attention will be paid to the reports of the inspections in the northern brigade, and upon the reports | presented will depend the fate of com- panies. If they do not come up to the limit they will be dealt with as was the company in Nevada City—that s, they will be recommended for disband- | ment.

SOCIAL AFFAIRS. Last week the signal.corps of this city gave a ball to its members and friends in Golden Gate Hall. It was a success in every way and was greatly enjoyed by the many who took part. General Koster and his aids, Lieutenants Morsehead and Walter, were special guests of the even- ing. Company H, located at Napa, gave 'a ball last night in its new armory. Bernard A. Sharp and Thomas W. Prose of Company F, Second Infantry, located at Woodland, have been granted a fur- lough, the former for two months and the latter for six. Company F of the Second Infantry, lo- cated in Woodland, after the regular drill last week had a banquet, at which there were present a few of the old members who are now on the ‘‘retired” list, those who accompanied the company’s football team and newspaper representatives. The affair was got up under the direction of Second Lieutenant C. B. Nichols, Quar- termaster Sergeant Turner and Private Fuler, and was a very pleasant one. Cap- tain J. G. Lee was the toastmaster. In his talk the captain stated that the com- pany had changed from forty-eighth to twentieth in rank during the past year. He announced that Colonel Seymour will inspect the company to-morrow night. There were addresses by Major Curzon (retired), First Lieutenant E. G. Griffin, Louls Sieber, who captained the football team, and several others. The non-commissigned officers of new Company C, Second Infantry, located in Nevada City, will be appointed at the meeting to-morrow night. Fourteen are to be named, those standing highest at an examination to receive the chevrons. The company has recovered the gym- nastic apparatus used by the old com- pany and has put it in proper shape for the use of the men. IN THE SIXTH REGIMENT. Company G, Sixth Infantry, is gaining in membership. At the meeting last week four eligibles were sworn in and two ap- plications were presented. After | drill there was a social hour, during which Corporal Phillips was awarded a hand- some medal offered by Curtis Neal for the best score fn the first of a series of three shoots. The medal will become te prop- erty of the one making the best aggre- gate score, This company will join Com- pany F and the Spanish War Veterans in the proper observance of Washington's birthday. At the inspection of Company L, Sev- enth Infantry, at Santa Ana last week there were eleven absentees out of a membership of fifty-three. The officers and the men made a creditable showing from the standpoint of an outsider, but what Colonel Wilhelm thinks of the show- ing will be told in reports. There were present at the ingpection Brigadier Gen- eral Wankowski, Colonel Schreiber, Cap- tain Prescott and Lieutenant Clark of Los Angeles, Colonel Solomon H. Finley, Regimental Adjutant Roper and First Lieutenant Bruner of the hospital corps. The United States Navy Department has decided to assign the Alert to the Naval Militia of California, this vessel to take the place.of the old Marion. The Alert was formerly attached to the United States naval training station at Goat Isl- and. It was practically rebuilt in 1900, is at this time in first-class condition and is provided with first-class boilers and ma-, chinery. The vessel is also equipped with a modern battery. The Naval Militia of this_State is certainly very fortunate in having secured this vessel, in a great measure through the indefatigable efforts of Captain G. W. Bauer, who is in com- mand of the militla and has for a long time used every means at his command to make the militla of California one of the most important adjuncts to the United States navy. The Alert will be placed in commissidn in a short time, NAVAL MILITIA’S NEW QUARTERS. The first, second and engineer divisions of the Naval Militla will occupy its up- town quarters on Tuesday next. These are in the Jefferson Square building, cor- ner of Gough and Octavia streets. The drill hall is 72 by 40 feet. with gymnasium and shower baths. The clubroom is 72 by 18 feet, is fitted up with billiard table, pool table and library table, on which will be placed current literature. There will also be tables for those who may desire to play chess, checkers or dominces. Here- after all infantry, artillery and signal drills will be held in these quarters, which have been secured for three years. Drill will be on Tuesday nights. The militia headquarters has received a new three-inch navy field plece, and the engineer division has received a one- pounder Hotchkiss gun of the latest pat- tern. Dr. Otto Westerfeld has been appointed assistant surgeon, with the rank of leu- tenant junior grade.
