THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY CAUCUS SELECTS KEELY FOR COLONEL OF FIEGT [ieutenant Colonel Is Sidetracked and Major Is to Be Shoved Up to Chie COMPANY B CAPTAIN'S RISE TO —_— staff, non-commissioned staff, band and hospital corps was the first to be in- spected, and the result was creditable. | Then the four companies—A, B, C D—were inspected on successive ghts. It must be said that as a whole the battalion made a good showing. A was shy one man at roll call, B two, C one and D three, and each company, | as far as the file was concerned, made ails there were a number of defi- s noted, such as not having the 1 blouses and caps. a lack of collar ornaments, but as to the caps and blouses the ex- | cuse offered was that there were none There was as a rule a most Te- ful attention by the men in line, ness as to respect to superiors nd close observance to orders. The men, however, were at a disad- vantage while drilling in the main hall, pe for the reason ghat the floor is waxed for dancing, and consequently unsufted for the execution of company mave- . ments, turnihg and marching. each instance the commissioned b officers were required to take charge | of the company and execute orders iven them in that quiet, easy manner e g RS which Colonel Wilhelm Is noted, < £ ffd“;“ which, as one of the officers said, 3 2 means a great deal.” The first ser- pany, and then the other sergeants and the corporals displayed what knowledge had in handling squads. As a rule did well, but there appeared to be of celerity of movement and | concert of action in rallying. The in- spection was witnessed by a large num- ber of citizens and officers of other or- ganizations, among them Major Hunt, as to pros- guard by L | Job utenant Francis and Lieutenant son of the Fifth Infantry. Brigadier General Koster, Major Francis V. Keesling, Lieutenant Alex- ander of the adjutant general's office were also present and took a deep in- terest in what was going on. DRILL IN STREET.

HIGH POSITION ficers went into the officers’ sweat box for examination by Colonel Wilhelm. On Saturday night the headquarters, staff, non-commissioned staff, band and sanitary corps of the First Infantry was examined. A few evenings since Major Kessling, commanding the First Artillery, issued an order to the commander of each company to assemble the men of their respective commands at the armory at 8 o'clock. The orders were carried out without delay, and at the appointed hour 77 per oent of the battalion was in the armory ready for orders. No previous notice of inten- tion of such a call had been mentioned. The signal corps has been doing well of late. Last week it had heliograph work between Mount Tamalpais and Twin Peaks, and good results were obtained between 12 o'clock noon and 1 o’clock, when there was an absence of fog. On February 11 the corps will have a mount- ed practice march to Ingleside, around the beach and possibly. back through the | park. | In accordance with orders from brigade | headquarters Colonel Seymour of the Sec- ond Infantry has furnished each com- pany commander of the regiment a blank form to be followed in keeping the books of the company, and accompanying this is a significant warning that ‘‘that form, and no other, must be followed.” First Lieutenant F. W. Hammond, bat- talion adjutant of the First Infantry, has tendered his resignation. Captain Herbert Choynski, quartermas- ter, First Infantry, has reported for duty after leave of absence. Lieutenant Colonel McCreagh, First In- fantry, has been relieved as summary court, and Major Eggert appointed. Captain Ross of Company C, First Ar- tillery, was presented a handsome sword by his command last week. BIG MILITARY OAMP. | While it has not been officially an- | nounced where the next State encamp- ment of the National Guard of Cali- fornia shall be held next June, there is a probability that it will be at Atas- cadero. The soldiers of the regular army, it is expected, will camp there, and arrangements are already being | made to put the Henry ranch, below Paso Robles, In condition for the camp. The fields will soon be sown to hay, so the crop can be moved before | the soldiers appear upon the ground. | Wells have been sunk and a good sup- ply of water has been obtained. It is expected that not only will the guard of this State be on the grounds to | discover how TUncle Sam’s men act | upon the tented field. but that the guard of each of the Pacific Coast States will be there also for instruc- | tion. The scheme that is being worked out is a big one, and if carried out will bring at Atascadero the largest assemblage of soldiers that has ever gathered at one spot in this State.

ENCOURAGE THE MEN. United States and State Inspector Colonel Thomas Wilhelm in a recent conversation in relation to the National Guard of the State sald: “Too often the members of the National Guard are made the object of ridicule—in other words, they are looked upon as the proverbial ‘tin soldiers.’ They | are far from that.

Am- ple room will be given over to the display. There will be plenty of salespeople. You'll find it td"be the greatest embroidery sale of the year. part earnest workers. Ther is a sacrifice on their part which is counterbalanced by the support given them by the Govern- ment. The War Department annually ex- pends thousands of dollars to assist in fitting the national guardsmen for service. The Government wants capable and effi- clent men in the several States in case of need, and to that end is doing much to aid the guardsmen. These men, who glve thelr services voluntarily to the dif- ferent States, should be encouraged, not ridiculed.” The troubles of Captain J. Irving Mc- Kenna, commanding Company F, Seventh Infantry, located at Los Angeles, are not yet at an end. Papers of that city have published articles to the effect that the Sacramento office has been mnotified that he was Instrumental in having published a serles of resolutions purporting to have emanated from the Seventh California Volunteers’ Assoclation and in the nature of an attack on Lieutenant Colonel W. G. Schreiber and others of the First Brigade. These resolutions have been disowned in the following, sent to the commander in chief by the assoclation: “To the Governor, Hon. George C. Par- dee, Sacramento, Cal.—Dear Sir: The Sev- enth California Volunteers’ Assoclation was organized immediately after the mustering out of the SBeventh Regiment, U. 8. V., with an enrolled membership of about 400. Since then a great many mem- bers have been dropped from the rolls for nén-payment ot dues and other violations of our by-laws, among whom were Cap- tain J, I. McKenna and others then high in rank. And whereas, an article appear- ing In the Los Angeles dally press, pur- porting to be resolutions passed by the veterans of the Seventh Regiment term- ing themselves as “The Soclety of the Sev- enth Regiment,’ and belleving such term might be misleading, as well as being an injustice to us, as said article stated that a copy of sald resolutions had been for- warded to you, so we wish to acquaint your Honor and the public at large with the following facts: » ““As our associgtion is composed of the veterans of the Seventh Regiment we em- phatically deny the passing of any resolu- tions as published in the daily press and sent to your Honor, and we wish to state further that our relations with Lieutenant Colonel W. G. Schreiber and all other First Brigade officers are most cordial, and would regret any publicity to mar our friendly relations.” y In addition to this it is charged that Captain McKenna's scorers at the tar- gets put up good scores for bad marks- manship, and that this went so far that one of the men of the company, wishing to test the accuracy of the scores, “shot at a bush far away from the target and was credifed- with a center shot” This information, it is sald, has also been sent to the Sacra- mento headquarters. Whatever may be the facts in the trouble in the Sev- enth, it is probably a revival of the factional war which began when the: old Ninth was consolidated with the Seventh and which has made itself manifest every now and then in the past fifteen years, - 2 SIXTH REGIMENT NOTES.

In addition to the hard work of the soldlers, the company is not forgetting the social side. On the last Thursday in January the com- pany had a gathering of the members and a few invited guests In celebra- tion of the eighteenth anniversary of institution. At a supper given In honor of the event Captain G. R. An- drews was toastmaster. He de- livered an address in which he re- viewed the rise of the company. after which Captain Claude T. Spivey, re- cently promoted captain; Captain L E. ‘Wilson, the retiring commander, and others also addressed the meeting. Then followed a programme of enter- tainment. The company has, since the promotion of Lieutenant Spivey to the captaincy, had L. A. Murrell promoted from second to first lieutenant and Ser- geant J. W. Southwick to second lieu- tenant. The new captain announced that it will be his aim to recruit the company to its full numerical strength. At the monthly shoot at the Hern- don range the men fired but five shots each, and the average score out of a possible 25 was, at 200 yards, 19; at 300 yards, 21, and at 500 yards, 16. The captain has ordered another prac- tice shoot within two weeks to dis- cover if the men cannot do better than that. Troop B Cavalry. located at Sacra- mento, in the latter part of January quit soldiering for a night, became “actors” in Turner Hall, in the capital city, and presented “The Girl I Left Behind Me,” being assisted in the per- formance by several lady professionals. This was for the benefit of the troop’s treasury, and it was a success as to attendance and performance. It is expected that when the naval militia of California shall take posses- sion of the Alert that “The Water Front Soldiers” and the jackies will be taken on a two weeks' cruise on board of that vessel to “learn the ropes” and the routine of duty at sea. As the entire number of men of the militia cannot go on one trip, It Is probable that there will be two crulses of two weeks each, one for the divi- slons located at San Francisco and near by ports and the other for the divi- sions located at ports in the southern part of the State.
