SERIOUS ROW IN THE REGIMENT
Capt. GeorgeW. Glowner Under
going a C0urtmartial.
The Boys of the Seventh Very Much
Stirred Up.
Capt. Glownsr Accused Of Conduct Pref
judicial to tho Internal Management
of His Company-Hs Claims He
Is Unjustly Charged.

The Seventh regiment, N. G. c., has
q very large sized row on hand. which
has finally reached outsiders.
Col. w. G. Schreiber preferred charges
against Capt. George W. Glowner OF
Company G recently. and Gen E. P.
johnson ordered q court.martial.
Captain Glowner was put under ar
rest and the court.martial convened
December 4th. 1t was organized and
the captain was arraigned, the charges
and specifications being read to him.
Then the court adjourned until Decem-
ber 11th, next Monday.
The members OF the court-martial
are: Mai. M. T. Owens, president;
Capt. Henry Stesre of Company A;
Capt. W. o. Welch, OF Pomona, of Com
pany d, Ninth regiment; Capt. P. j.
Cook, Of Pasadena, of Company B;
Lieut.. NJ. M. Ogden, commissary Lieut..
F. L. Baldwin, Company A; Lieut..
Lawrence, signal corps, and Maj. q.
Wiley Wells, judge advocate.
The charge against Captain Glowner
is conduct prejudicial to good order
and military discipline. and the speci-
ficatlons are seven in number.
When the court convened Captain
Glowner was not represented by coun-
sell. but it was understood that next
Monday he will have counsel.
The trouble that has arisen is not of
very long standing. as Captain Glowner
has not occupied his position longer
than from last September. He was
member Of the company for some time
before that, but the election which re-
suited in his taking command occurred
at the time mentioned He has been an
attorney in the city for several years,
and is very we'll known.
He and his friends claim that the
charges against him are actuated by
malice, and that he will be able to show
that he Is not to blame.
TIE question is one limited entirely to
the order of the company and it's inter-
nal management, there being no redec-
tions upon the personal integrity of
Captain Glowner.
At the time of his arraignment he
challenged all the junior mem bers Of
the court on the ground of prejudice.
After the challenges were denied he
withdrew them with the exception of
the one against Captain Weloh.
1t was learned that before the court
martial was ordered the resignation of
Captain Glowner was requested, and
tnat ne refused TO put IL In, saying that
he would not resign while under fire.
The company is very much broken up
over the whole affair, as we'll a. the
regiment.
Colonel Schneider was seen by HER
AID reporter yesterday afternoon, and
asked about the trouble, but said he de-
sired to cay nothing about it before the
trial.
1t was learned, however, from other
sources that there has been bad blood
in the company for some time before the
time that Captain Meyer went out. The
election OF Captain Glowner was a close
one, and there were good many Incl
further embittered the feeling OF the
company. 1t is claimed that since that
time Captain Glowner acted in AN afbi-
trary and harsh manner 40 that the
morale of the company was destroyed.
Whatever the facts are will be brought
out during the court martial, and the
general officers express determination
to 20 to the root OF the trouble and
eliminate anything that tends to disor-
ganzatlon.
