STEPHENS RER RS Adults and Young Confirmed in the Christian Faith, Bishop Nichols Officiating —pno e PRELATE GIVES ADVICE Tells of Complexity of Modern Life and the Necessary Maturing of Conscience MetoL iy The Bishop of California, the Right Rev. William Ford Nichols, confirmed a class at St. Stephens’ Church, Fulton street, near Fillmore, yesterday morning. This was the first class presented by the new rector, the Rev. Cecil Marrack, and consisted of the following named adults and young people: Mrs. Byrde Soule, Mrs. Elizabeth Martyn, Mrs. Mary C. Rose, Miss Anna R. Abram, Mrs. Lily Johnston Cory, Elizabeth McPhun, Flor- | Lucile Bell, Mary Lucile Rose, George Johnston, Percy Bayne Coe and Frederick Mil- | ton Chapman. “The Leadership of Conscience as Illus- trated in the Life of St. Paul” was the subject of the Bishop’s sermon, and was | ‘“the present widespread awak- Bishop Nichols said that as modern life had become more complex, conscience must have a corresponding development. As an illustration of this he referred to the great care used in protecting a com- |pass on a modern ocean liner with its a wooden vessel of the old type no such precautions were necessary, as the com- pass then was not affected by the sur- rounding metal. Thus, in modern life, great care, the Bishop said, must be ex- ercised to safeguard the workings of conscience. The influence of St. Paul was due, said the Bishop, to his leadership of conscience.

Arthur Barrooti, driver of a bakery wagon, while entering his home at 328 Broadway early vesterday morning, was attacked -by two unknown men. They sneaked up behind him and as he | turned his head. he was struck a vio- | lent blow on the mouth that knocked | him down. He shouted for help and | the men ran away. It is thought that the men intended to rob him. He was sent to the Harbor Emergency Hospi- tal, where a wound on his lip was | stitched and dressed. . | e i | Bicycle Thieves Arrested. R. W.

This week the annual inspection of the National Guard of California will come to & close. After the companies in the. Sec- ond Brigade shall have recovered from the effects of the nervous strain produced by the appearance of the inspectors, the mysterious State inspectors, who will leave brigade headquarters under ‘‘sealed orders,” will drop in from time to time on the different companies -to discover how well they are getting along, this to determine the degree of attendance, ap- pearance, movements, etc., in order to de- termine the contest for the State trophy. In view of this all thé companies will have to be up to the standard in order to count for points and percentage. Colonel Wilhelm, United States apd State inspector of the Nattonal Guard of California, assisted by Major D. A. Smith of the Fifth Infantry, specially detailed for the Second Brigade, and accompanied by Brigadier General John A. Koster, in command of the brigade, who is anxious | to take personal cognizance of the com- panies under his command, visited the! armories of Company I of Vacaville, Feb- ruary 28; Company B, Sacramento, March 1; Company H, Placerville, March 2; Com- pany G, Sacramento, March 5; Company F. Woodland; March 6; Company H, Plac- erville, March 7, and Company C, Nevada City, March 9. The inspections will close with the visit to Company D, Marysville, March 12, and Company A, Chico, March 13. At the inspection and muster of Com- pany I at Vacaville there were five ab- sent, Company E at Sacramento had but one absent, Company H at Placerville was shy eight and Company G of Sacramento and F of Woodland were each short seven. ‘With the exception of Company I at Vacaville, all inspected showed a marked improvement over the previous inspection. The previous report let Company I “down easy,” for it said: “It is not considered fair at this time to rate the company, for the reason that-it was organized so re- cently and has had its equipment so short a time that so far not sufficient opportu- | nity has hflkn afforded for all the needed Chapter of the Chfl-{ instruction.’ ITS FIRST INSPECTION. A Vacaville paper says that Colonel Sey- mour, commanding the Second Infantry, was present at the inspection and muster of Company I, and adds: “The event had been anxious awaited by the officers and men, as was the really severe test to which the company was to be put, the first inspection having been held but about two months affer mustering in. This year the inspecting officers put the com- pany through the same severe test that the older organizations were subjected to. Extreme nervousness was evident in of- ficers and men, and most of the maneu- vers were not performed as well as they were capable of doing. Attention was called by the inspecting officers to many points, which will receive careful study during the year. Although severe in their examinations, the visiting officers pointed out the deficiencies in a gentlemanly way, and have left a kindly feeling among the members of the company. There was an expressed determination to. show a de- cided improvement at the I n next year. The company was complimented on its appearance and the armory called forth favorable comment.” This company, but feurteen months old, is composed of desirable material for a first-class organization, but it showed poorly, due no doubt to a lack of experi- ence of .the officers. The evident lack of = a result will be that the officers will not only be warned to improve in the future, which this particular company belongs will be called to account for failure to in- struct the company officers, and possibly the board whose duty it is to examine candidates for commissions will be called to account for passing such as do not prove capability to assume command of a company. It is probable that the com- pany will not be severely dealt with, and that in view of the short time it has been in the service will be given a chance, as | appreclate what it means to be a soldier. As the men are of a high grade of intelligence themselves toward improving their condi- tion ag soldiers, and when in the near future they are .unexpectedly visited by an inspector they will show marked im- provement. SACRAMENTO'S “Al\l\lol’(l. At the inspection of Company E, Sac- ramento, there were present in addi- tion to the inspecting officers Brigadier General Koster, commanding the Sec- ond Brigade; Adjutant General J. B. Lauck, Colonel Henry Seymour, com- mander of the Second Infantry, and Major John Zittinger of the same com- mand. The Call's, correspondent, who visited the armories, writes: “After the preliminaries the inspec- tor, desiring to understand the capacity of the officers and. men from ‘post to finish,’ put them through all the fea- tures of the inspection required by the instructions given to inspecting offi- cers on behalf of the United States War Department, and for two hours the offi- cers and men gave the best that thers was in them, yet while doing that it was manifest that officers and men were not free from errors and while on the whole the company made a showing | that was not ‘half bad’ there was evi- | dence that had more attention been given to details the company would have made a better showing and would receive higher credits. Of the fifty-two on the roll, including officers, fifty-one answered ‘present’ at muster, the ab- sentee being one who is out of the State on furlough. The smoothness of the armory floor, ‘the same old excuse,’ was given, and the statement was made that in ccnsequence of that smoothness, the | result of the armory being used for the men did not have ‘complete confidence in their footing on such a glassy surface, consequently could not make turns as gracefully as is expected by regulations.” Somebody who evidently does not care for dancing ,said when that. excuse was presented ‘Why don't you sand the floor at inspec- tion and afterward wax it for dancing? That smooth floor is a handy thing to offer in extenuation for lack of ‘mili ‘tary precision.’ severe and exacting, was not more so than was good for the organization. | Possibly the officers and members of Company ¥, under the command - Captain Frank F. Cannon, will by the lesson of the inspection. img the evening the company was han- dled successively by the captain, by ths lieutenants and first sergeant, after which the non-coms displayed what they could do in the matter of h; ing ‘squads.

The entrance of the inspecting officers was witnessed by about 500 persons from Woodland and vicinity, who feel an in- terest in the company. The inspector was accompanied by the officers who ure usually with him on such occasions and in addition by Colonel A. W. Brad- bury of the aljutant general's office and Colonel H. I Seymour. Although the company was shy seven men at muster, it made a fine appearance, and during the inspection was notable for 1ts discipline, deportment and excellence in execution of movements. During the inspection Captain J. G. Lee, command- ing; First, Lieutenant E. G. Griffin and Second Lieutenant C. B. Nichols were given an opportunity to display their ability in handling the company, and to thejr credit it was sald that each showed full knowledge of ability along the line of duty. Before the dismissal Colonel Wilhelm addressed the com- pany, congratulating it on its appear- ance, and then calling Lieutenant Grifiin to the front pinned on his breast one of the three medals awarded by the State of California and United States army for excellence in marksmanship while with the California team at Sea- girt, N. J., last year. The other two medals awarded are for Sergeant Dar- ling, Company M, Seventh Infantry, and Corporal O'Rourke of Campany H» Second Infantry. at Placerville. The large number of people who attended the inspection shows that the soldiers of Woodland are not lacking if the support of the citizens. Their presence was a great encouragement to the boys who carry the Krag-Jorgensens. Company C of the Second Infantry, lo- cated at Nevada City, was inspected last Friday for the first time since its re- cent organization. Captain Daily had been preparing for this event with the idea of making a better showing than was made at the previous inspection, when it was said: “Although provided with excellent ! facilities this company is not reason- ably efficient. The personnel of this company appears to be very good, but is little acquainted with military work, and in this respect the company makes an inadequate return for the State and Government allowances.” 2 COLUSA SOLDIERS IMPROVE. The inspection of Company B at Colusa proved that there is one enthusiastic commissioned officer In the BSecond Infantry in the son of Second Lieutenant Daly, who drove from Arbuckie, Te- hama County, many, many miles away, in order to be present at the inspection. This year there was a marked improve- ment over that of the previous year, when it was said: “The condition of this organization in general Is of a nature that induces the recommendation that the company be agaln inspected in a réasonably shert- time with a view {6 sich consideration at general headquarters as may be thought best for the service, and if no improvement be found it is suggested that the organization be discontinued and the public property sent to State headquarters.” The general average at that inspec- tion was 40.5. At this year’s inspection there were three absent out of forty- eight. The company did well in some things, but was lax in executing com- mands. James P. Dufty of the Southern Pa- cific Company, taken from civilian life, has been commissioned captain in the First Infantry and assigned to duty as regimental adjutant to succeed H. G. Mathewson, recently elected major, vice Kelly, promoted colonel of the regiment. Captain Duffy succeeds Sec- ond Lieutenant Suydam, who porarily filled the position. Sergeant Joseph O. Staples, Company D, has been appointed battalion ser- geant mdjor in the First Infantry, vice Lawrence E. Fenton, term expired.

Foley, tried before a sum- mary court for neglect of duty as a member of Company D, First Infantry, having been found guilty, has been dis- honorably discharged from the service of the State. The law of this State tem- says: “No dishonorably discharged non- commissioned officer, artificer, musi- cian, or private, or member of & com- pany dishonorably discharged from the National Guard shall be permitted to #gain enter any company of the Na- tional Guard except the offense is par- doned by the commander in chief. Charles D. Lowe has been comm! sioned first lieutenant of the First In- fantry and assigned to duty as bat- talion adjutant on the staff of Major Mathewson, Second Battalion, viece Hammond, resigned. Francis J. Povey, Company B, First Artillery, has applied for a service medal. Charles F. Waltham, Company C, artillery, has been granted a fur- lough ior three months. First Lieutenant C. W.

The funeral of the late Captain Al- bert C. Adler, formerly of the First Infantry, and a veteran of the Span- ish-American War, he having served as second lieutenant, of Company F. First | California Volunteers, was held from Van Ness avenue last week. The honor- ary pallbearers were Colonel Thomas F. O'Neil, Lieutenant T. J. McCreagh, Majors Hugh T. Sime, J. F. Eggert, H. G. Mathewson and Captain H. G. Stindt. The active pallbearers were six non commissioned officers of the First In- fantry. The funeral was private, there being no troops or music. HAVE NO ORDNANCE. An anomaly is the condition of street armory. = These are organized as a battalion of artillery, and the nearest it has got to artillery practice is with a Gatling gun. With the exception of an occasional drill with the heavy guns at the Presidio—such drills few and far between—the men of the several com- panies know nothing in the practical use of ordnance except drill with the Gatling and the Krag-Jorgensen rifle. The fact of a battalion existing as an artillery organization without heavy or | even light ordnance is lke some of the | troops of cavalry that ~practice the mounted drill without horses. It is possible that during thé summer, in view of the fact that the artillery bat- ‘talion is without ordnance, an- effort will be made to give the men practice behind the guns at some of the coast | defenses. Major Charles E. Haven of the Fifth Infantry, in whose battalion are compa- nies C of Petaluma, E of Santa Rosa and H of Napa, has been invited to take part in the Fourth of July parade in Santa Rosa. If accepted, it will give the battalion an opportunity for prac- tite march as a battalion., and inciden- tally there may be a battalion drill for the edification of the citizens of the City of Roses. It is not often that com- panies of a battalion of this regiment have an opportunity to get together and keep step. A team of Company E of Santa Rosa | went to Sebastopol last week and had a game of basket .ball with the Green | Valley team of that place in the pres- ence of a large crowd in Walker's Hall. The soldiers defeated -the Green Valley boys by a score of 31 to 14. A return game was arranged to be played in the armory in Santa Rosa. Tomorrow night Company I, Seventh Infantry, located at Pasadena, will hold an election for captain, vice Lawrance D. Collins, term expired. E. D. Neff is a candidate for, the position, and the indications are that he will be elected. Captain Collins, who retires from the command of the company, will be a candidate for the position of major. of the second battalion. The term of First Lieutenant Andrew P. P. Barthel- mey will expire In April, consequently there will be an election for his posi- tion at the assembly tomorrow night, when Second Lieutenant U. G. Packard will be a candidate for the position. Companies E, F, G and H, composing the second battalion of the First In- fantry, Major Mathewson commanding, will have a battalion drill next Wednes- day night. Company H of this battalion has enlisted six men since the recent inspection and is endeavoring to make up for the poor showing at the recent muster. ALERT FOR NAVAL MILITIA. A few months ago it was announced that the Nevy Department had decided to turn over the Alert, now out of com- mission at Mare Island. to' the naval milftia of California, but before doing so it becan:ie necessary to have a sur- vey made with a view to ascertain what it would cost to put her in condition. There was & survey recently and the report made to the department showed that the expense of- putting the vessel in condition for usé by the militia would amount to about $6000.
