GENUINE Annual Sale Immense Reductions SUITS, COSTUMES COATS, WAISTS SKIRTS, TEA GOWNS CRAVENETTES NOW GOING ON 112-114-116 Kearny Street, PLANNING TO At the banquet given last week by Cal- ifornia Commandery of the Military Or- der of the Loyal Legion Major General 8. S. Sumner, U. S. A., who first drew his sword in April, 1861, and has been in the army ever since, sald in speaking to “The Army” that what is most needed at this time is an adequate force upon which | the Government could draw to add to the regular army in case of need. He sald there is the President’s power to call for volunteers, but that does not produce trained soldiers; then, he said, there is the National Guard of the States and | Territories, but the aggregate force of these is not sufficient to make up such an army as might be required under pres- ent conditions, for the army of to-day is different from the army of the Civil War. While the Dick bill, designed to regulate the National Guard of the different States and Territories, is a step in the direction of securing trained men in case the army needs them, the difficulty that presents | itself is that the National Guard does not recruit a sufficient number of men who should receive instruction that would make them capable soldiers, or at least men who would have sufficient instruction | to make them avallable for service in the field, he said. The War Department, ap- | preclating the fact that the maintaining, of a very large standing army is repug- nant to the great majority of* the people of the country, is lending its ald to the State troops, with the idea of mak. practical soldlers of them, and now it is urp to the officers of the different State or- ganizations to bring their respective com- mands up to the meximum number, in-: stead of keeping them down to the mini- mum. The intention of the superior officers in | this State at this time is to carry out the | ideas expressed by General Sumner, and already good progress along that line has been made in the rural districts, be- cause the men there took a deep interest in thelr respective commands, but in the large citles the business men, it 18 claimed, do not take the same interest in the guard that do those in the interior. A strong effort is to be made in the near future to enlist the sympathy of thefSan Francisco, Los Angeles and " Sacramento business men In the work of the guard and to see if they will not encourage the men in their employ who are in the State soldiery to keep up their enthusiasm in military matters. FILMER’S RESIGNATION. The resignation of Colonel Filmer as commanding officer of the First Regi- ment of Infantry came as a surprise to a large number of the guard, in this city. As has been announced. he gave as & reason that business engagements prevented him from devoting time and attention to the duties of the position, but there is a strong bellef that the strictness of attention to military duty that i{s now being demanded of com- manding officers -of every grade has had some influence to move the colonel to withdraw from the service. In or- ders the following is said about the re- tiring officer: ‘“‘Colonel Filmer, in ad- dition to long service in the National Guard of the State, beginning August 26, 1886, served with credit in the Phil- ippine Islands during the Spanish- American War as captain of Company B of the Frst California Volunteers, and in his retirement the State loses the service of an active officer.” The recent action in regard to an officer who had been passed by the ex- amining board and certified as compe- tent being brought up before the sum- mary board, on the ground that he was incompetent and his resignation de- manded in face of these charges, has made the examining board more care- tul, for it has asked for additional time in which to examine several candidates sent before it for examination. It is evident that the members of that board do not want to take chances of being | hauled up before the “death line board” on the ground of neglect of duty or in- | competency. It is probable that here- after any one who comes up for ex- amination will not be passed because he is popular or is “a good fellow.” but he will have to show military knowl- edge before he is recommended for a commission. Two attempts have been made to fill a vacancy for second lieutenant that exists in Company D of the First In- fantry, but on each occasion there was not a quorum present, consequently no election. In view of this. under the law, the vacancy will be filled by the commander in chief. Dr. W. F. McNutt has been appointed first lieutenant and assistant surgeon in the Second Brigade, vice Keenan, resigned. . CHIEF SURGEON GETS LEAVE. Dr. Rethers, lleutenant colonel and chlef surgeon of the Second Brigade, has asked for leave of absence for six months, with permission to go outside the borders of the United State He is going to Europe to take up certain studies in his profession. Colonel Wilhelm and those who ac- companied him inspected thg head- quarters and staff of the Second Brig- ade last week and spent the whole day in examining the books and the man- ner in which the affairs are conducted there. In the evening the brigade, all being present, were examined collect- ively, and after that each was taken into an adjoining room, which was for that evening designated as the “mili- tary sweat box,” where each was ex- amined as to knowledge of the partic- ular duty he is assigned to. What dl coveries the inspecting officer made are down-on his notes, but it was noticed that every one who came from that room, with one or two exceptions, look- ed very red in the face. The inspector also devoted his attention to the head- ?uarun and staff of the Fifth Infan- ry. Major Emmett R. Jones, quartermas- ter of the Second Brigade, has sub- mitted to the commanding officer a se- ries of questions to be forwarded to every commanding officer in the brig- ade, the answers to which give infor- mation as to methods of transportation from the point at which each company is located to certaln central points, and the cost of the same. This in- formation is desired so that in case companies would have to be moved there shall be some data to act upon. The form will be forwarded to head- quarters at Sacramento for approval, and if approved commanding officers will have something that wlill keep them busy for a few days formulating the answers expected. ‘While Colonel Wilhelm was examin- ing the officers at brigade headquarters he took up matters for some time with the judge advocate to discover his knowledge on all points bearing on military law, and particularly as to the mode of procedure In ordinary and summary courts-martial. The judge ad- vocate is of the opinion that he satis- fied the inspector that he is up to date in such matters. ENCAMPMENT ORDERS. The time for the next encampment of the National Guard of this State has been fixed for the month of June, and the order issued last week from | the office of the’ tant general will mot Be unless some unforeseen THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JANUARY 28, 1906. INCREASE CALIFORNIA'S MILITIA Officers of the Organization Will Act on Suggestion of General Sumner. INSPECTION OF SECOND BRIGADE circumstance shall necessitate a change of date. The mix-up in the Seventh Infantry, growing out of the acts of Lieutenant Colonel Schreiber during the inspection of Company F, which was followed by the tendered resignation of Captain’ J. I. McKenna, has resulted in Brigadier General Wankowski, commanding the First Brigade, detailing the following named to assemble on February 8, as a court-martial “for the purpose of taking action on any cases that may come up before it”: Major 5. M. Salt- marsh, Captain John E. Sullivan, Cap- tain L. D. Collins, Captain A. J. Copp Jr., Captain D. G. Fisher, First Lieu- tenant H. E. Sabine, First Lieutenant A. C. F. Dee, First Lieutenant A. P. Barthelemy, First Lieutenant O. C. Holden, Second Lieutenant W. H. Flood, Second Lieutenant B. T. Demmit, Sec- ond Lieutenant L. A. Paine, Second Lieutenant H. W. Slotterbeck and Ma- jor Oscar Lawler, judge advocate. While the order does not announce what cases are to come up, Iitis strongly surmised that Lieutenant Col- onél Behreiber and Captain McKenna will be called upon to explain away charges of alleged conduct unbecom- ing officerg of the National Guard of the State. ™ During the early part of last week Dr. Willlam Simpson, at one time an officer of the Fifth Infantry, addressed the members of Company B of that regiment in San Jose on “First Ald to the Wounded,” illustrating his lecture with charts of the human body, so that those who listened to him could understand where pressure should be applied in case of a flow of blood from a wound from bullet or sword. He also gave instruction in the matter of giv- ing ald in case of sunstroke or in case of apparent drowning. Following the lecture there was a drill to prepare the men for the visit of the United States and State inspectors #and target practice at the indoor range. re- markable scores were made. INSPECTOR SHOWS UP. The dreaded inspector and those who accompanied him, namely, Major D. A. Smith, assistant to the inspector in the Second Brigade; Brigadier General Kos- ter, Lieutenant Morsehead, one of his alds, and Colonel Hayes, commanding the Fifth, appeared before Company B last week. For two hours the offi- cers and men were under the critical eye of the inspectors, and there was not anything that is laid down in the rules for muster and inspections that was overlooked. By the time the work of the evening was over there was a sigh of relief from all parts of the hall The inspecting officer, whose features did not give evidence of approval or disapproval, stated that the standing of the organization will appear in the _report. The members of the company did the very best they knew how. The appearance of the men was faultless. The men executed many movements, in- cluding aiming and firing, and in each case made a most creditable showing. Guard duty was performed in a man- ner above criticism. During his recent tour in the south- land Colonel Wilhelm, assisted by Lieutenant J. Alexander of the superior office at Sacramento and Lieutenant Howland, aid on the First Brigade staff, inspected the armory, property, officers and men of Company G of the Seventh Infantry at Redlands. At the muster in the evening there were pres- ent, besides the inspecting officer, Gen- eral Robert Wankowski, commanding the First Brigade, and Colonel 8. H. Finley of Santa Ana. The inspection was of such a character that the com- missioned officers and the non-coms, as well as the men in the ranks, realized that it is expected that they shall be as near perfect as it is possible to bring them, taking Into consideration that they are only volunteers in the service of the State. A large number of the citizens of Sali- nas and vicinity gathered in the armory of Troop C, cavalry, at Salinas last Mon- day to witness the annual inspection and see how the horseback soldiers would stand the test of a most rigid examina- tion. The men of the command had been thoroughly drilled by Captain Charles J. Fulle in all the branches of what can be done in the armory. To the credit of the boys in blue with-yellow facings, it must be sald that they made a fine appearance, but how they stood from the point of a military critic is a tale to be told in re- ports. The inspection was followed by a banquet tendered the inspecting officer and his assistants at the Bardin House. GOOD SHOWING MADE. On the occaslon of the inspection of Company E, Seventh Infantry, at Ana- heim recently by Colonel Wilhelm the at- tendance was 100 per cent. At the pre- vious Inspection it was 88.04. Fifty men responded at roll call. There was a severe test, and Captain Herman Stern and Lieu- tenants Kellenberger and Sellinger gave an exhibitlon of their ability to take charge of the company. The non-commis- sioned officers were required to drill squads. At the close of the inspection the inepecting officer spoke in words of praise of the appearance of the company, and sald it was the second one he had in- spected in the south that had mustered 100 per cent. The company was addressed by Brigadier General Wankowskl, Colonel Finley and Colonel Schreiber. The latter said that he would call again in a short time and give the boys a two hours’ fam- ily drill. After the speech: Ing there ‘was a banquet in honor of the inspecting officer and those who accompanied him. Dr. R. B. Willlams of Sausalito, first leutenant and assistant syrgeon, Fifth Infantry, will visit Company E at Santa Rosa next Monday for the purpose of in- structing the men of the company in mat- ters relative to first ald to the wounded. This is to be in connection with the hos- pital service and field work. Last week Company H, Sixth Infantry, Captain J. R.

After the supper there were responses to informal toasts. —_—— Appraiser of Estate Is Cited.

CHARGES FRAUD AGAINST JEFFERY Aged Alameda Woman Brings Suit to Caneel § a Note. Joseph A. Jeffery of this city stands charged with a suit filed yesterday of having deliberately defrauded aged Mrs. Mary H. Eldredge of Alameda into sign- ing a note for $12, taking advantage of the affection she bears her foster-son, Thomas Middlemiss, to accomplish his purpose. Mrs. Eldredge, who is 68 years of age, asks that pending the trial of the suit Jeffery be restrained from nego- tiating the note and that ultimately he be compelled to deliver up the same for cancellation. ‘When the mother of young Middlemiss was on her deathbed. says Mrs. Eld- redge, the dying woman called her to her bedside and asked her to look out for her son, to take,/him as her own and see that he was well reared. This, says Mrs. Eldredge, she agreed to do, and when Jef- fery learned of her relations with the young man he decided to take advantage of the same to enrich himself. On November § of last year, says Mrs. Eldredge, Jeffery went to her home In Alameda and told her that Middlemiss had secured #2 from him under f: pretenses. Continuing, it is asserted t Jeftery told the aged woman that would have no difficulty in proving his charge, and that unless the money he had lost was returned to him he would send the young man to the penitentiary. Frightened at such a prospect, Mrs. Eldredge says she gave Jeffery her note for sixty days. Subsequently, she says, she discovered that Jeffery had never given young Middlemiss any money and that he had never secured a cent from any one under false pretenses, the whole affalr sfmply being a fraudulent trick to secure money from her. Her allegations are supported by young Middlemiss, whose affidavit was made of record. Immediately upon the flling of the swit a temporary injunction was issued against Jeftery.
