MEN OF THE SIXTH
WANT TO GO HOME
DESIRE TO BE MUSTERED OUT
OF THE SERVICE.
Colonel Johnson Willing to Remain
in Command, but Ready to
Accede to the Wishes of
the Privates.

Nearly every man of the Sixth Califor-
MIA Regiment has expressed desire to
be mustered out of the military service
of the United States. That expression
was made in a manly way at the request
Of Colonel Johnson. On Thursday Col
onel Johnson called out his command,
and on their parade ground at Fort Point
asked the men, in a short address, what
was their desire. He said the majority
of the officers were in favor of remaining
in the service, but I know" he said,
that many of the privates are equal, if
not superior, to most of the officers, and
the officers receive good salaries. | re-
ceiVe $3.50 month as commander of this
regiment, but Il do not want to retain my
commission or my salary at the expense
of you men. The men who wish to be
mustered out will please step to one
side"
When the roll was counted S4S men
were found to have expressed a desire
to be sent to their homes. They repre-
sented nearly IS per cent of the command,
was the desire of the men to be mus
tered out soon as possible, unless they
were sent to the front to active. service.
Yesterday ii was said the orders given
some weeks ago to muster out the regi-
nent had been modified and that it now
rested with the department. commander
whether they would join the next expe-
dition to the Philippines or not. The
men, however, do not look upon the re-
port with favor, and say 1t is only an
other excuse to keep up the hopes of the
men, while their private business suffers,
and the officers have excuses to retain
their commission and draw good sala
ries.
The orders to muster out the regiment
are progressing slowly-too slow, in fact,
to suit the men. Many of the privates
are complaining of favoritism in muster
ing out men. Some men favored by their
captains have no tgouble in getting out
of the service, while the requests of
many others, they say, are ignored.

Consolidation Of Two Lodges of K of

The consolidation of Justice Lodge No.

Knights of Pythias, which, in the cards
of invitation was designated as 1.-The nup-
tails of the two, was effected last night
in Pythian Castle in the presence of

officiating officer, and united the two
lodges, which hereafter will be known as
Golden City Lodge, with George w. Mon
teith as chancellor. The ceremony, which
was very interesting, was followed by
number of short speeches, and at the
close of the business the members
marched to the Cosmos rotisserie, where
more than 100 partook of an excellent
wedding supper. During the time that the
dessert was being served Chancellor Mon
teith, who was the POSTMASTER, called
upon Grand Chancellor George Samuels

dwelling on the consolidation and ex-
pressing the hope that more lodges would
consolidate, as it was better to have a
small number of strong lodges than many
weak ones.
By the consolidation Golden City Lodge
has increased its membership to 100, and
has materially swelled its bank account,
having now more than S4500 to it's credit.

JUDGE MOGAN
GOES ON A
LABOR STRIKE
Refuses to Trythe Case
Against FaIk.

MARKET INSPECTOR DAVIS ON

Case.
MARKET INSPECTOR DAVIS ON
THE WARPATH.

A peculiar complication has arisen out
of the arrest of II. Falk, the restauran-
teur at 211 Fourth street, who was taken
into custody the day before yesterday by
Chief Market Inspector Ben Davis, on
charge of having diseased pork In his
possession. 1t is customary in these
cases, where the Inspector catches an
offender with proofs of guilt in his pos
session, for no warrant to be sworn out
but an arrest is made Immediately and
the complaint is drawn up and sworn to
afterward.
Davis followed this course and Falk,
after his arrest, was released on bond.
Yesterday. morning Davis found that the
case had been assigned by Sergeant Nc
Donald to Police Court 1 for trial.
The Inspector accordingly drew up for
NAL complaint against Falk and went to
the courtroom to swear to it before
Judge Mogan. The latter refused to re-
ceive it. Davis says:
THE Judge declined to have anything
to do with the case. l told him that 1t
had been regularly assigned to his court
and that / was only doing my duty to
come before him with the complaint.
Still he refused to allow me to make an
affidavit and told me to go to some other
Judge, as he did not propose to be longer
imposed upon He had too much work.
refused to go. 1t is not my business to
ClloSS dIOullu tIIOuSi Tie ullLSlCiiI SouA -
hunting for a judge to try my cases.
Suppose that l did it. The other
Judges would very properly tell me to
go back to the Judge to whom the case
was assigned. Judge Mogan's excuse was
that he had too much to do. That is no
affair of mine. l am not to blame If he
gets more than his share of the trials.
The case was assigned to his court and
had no authority to make any change.
When he refused to take my affidavit,
went to the Prosecuting Attorney and
he told me the only thing to do was to
bring the case to the attention of the
Grand jury Since then L have been de-
termned to present the whole matter
to the jury and see whether or not Judge
Mogan can be made to attend to this
case"
DR.. Williamson, when made acquainted
with the facts of the case, stated that as
a member of the Board of Health. he
fully Endorsed the stand taken by In
spector Davis. 1T is not the duty of our
officers to hunt Judges to try their cases.
remarked the doctor, land they will not
do it. either"
Judge Mogan's side of the case is briefly
this: He claims that more than fair
share of the Police Court work has been
showed upon him of late and that the
other Judges have had too much play
time. He said: 1T is a case of running a
willing horse to death. l don't propose to
stand it any longer Nearly all of the
jury trials come to me and good deal
else. Some of the other Judges can step
in and attend to Davis case
