|NQUESTS HELD
IN MANY CASES
Jury Says Two Men
Were Responsible for
Their Own Deaths.
Declares F. 81. Knowlton and
Annie McNab Were Vic
TINS of Accident.

Daniel Sheehan, an unfortunate Ia
borer, 81 years old, who was killed
last Thursday by a cave in a sewer on
China avenue, between London and
Paris streets, was blamed by a Coro-
ner's jury yesterday for his own death.
After reciting the circumstances the
verdict goes on to say: And we, the
jury, find that said Daniel Sheehan
came to his death by accident by not
properly supporting the excavation on
which he was working"
Sheehan, with several other laborers,
was digging a trench preparatory to
the construction of a sewer, and the
bank caved in upon them, burying
them to the hips. All were speedily ex-
tricated without material injury, but
the mass of earth had fallen upon
Sheehan in such a way as to fracture
his spine.
1t appears that the trench was being
dug on the ground that had been-filled
III, and the soil was therefore very
loose a fact unknown to the workmen
at the time.
The same jury blamed r. c. Hares,
a helper in the United States Mint. who
was killed on October q In an elevator
accident. The verdict reads: And we,
the undersigned jurymen. find that the
above r. c. Hares came to his death
through accident by running the eIe-
Tator in L. S. Mint through careless
ness by himself
Verdicts of accident were returned in
the cases of F. II. Knowlton, gas suf-
location, October q, and Annie Nc
Nab, who was suffocated with him.
In the case of Edgar Trefts. killed OH
October 2s, the verdict reads: And
we, the jury. find that same was caused
by accident by trying to jump on the
car of the United Railroads while car
was in full motion on Ellis street, be-
low Webster"
A verdict OF suicide was rendered in
the case of Gustaf Lofgren, who shot
himself through the head last Friday
IN the case of Mrs. Ludmiller Bel
mont, who died on October 2S, a verdict
of natural causes was returned.

Faults Discovered by Divi-
sion Commander Subject
of Comment.

Another step in the direction Of re-
deeming the National Guard of Cali
fornia has been taken. 1t is the call
ing for a meeting in the Assembly
Hall Of the Mills building st o'clock
on the afternoon OF Thursday. Decem-
Der II, of brigade. regimental and
other commanding officers for the
purpose Of discussing matters of in
terest TO the organization and secur-
ing uniformity of instruction and care
of property, to the end that needed
Improvements may be made and that
all organizations brought to a degree
of efficiency.
United States Inspector Colonel VIII
helm and Colonel Bangham. assistant
adjutant general, visited the United
States arsenal at Benicia last week
and there obtained information to the
effect that during the current week
all organizations of the National
Guard in the State will be provided
with Krag-Jorgenson rifles to replace
the Springfields previously issued.
This will be on the basis of fifty TO all
companies or organizations except ar
tillery, which Will be allowed seventy
for each battery. When this arm is
issued the commanding officers will
be instructed to the effect that the
new rifles will have to be cared for
differently from the Springfields and
that they will inspect or have them
inspected at least once a month, and
further that the weapon will not stand
the rough usage that is often given to
the Springfield. The arm is more ef-
fective, requiring more attention.
The commanding officer of each
company of infantry, battery of ar
tillery and troop Of cavalry has been
ordered to make immediate requisi-
ton direct upon the quartermaster
general for not less than fifty nor
more than sixty dress coats and caps,
except the artillery, which will be
allowed seventy for each battery.
Commanding officers of the Signal
Corps and Sanitary Corps Will make
requisition for caps and coats neces-
sary for the number Of the men of
their detachments, and regimental
commanderS and the commanding Of
hcer of the battalion of artillery will
make requisition for the necessary
number for non-commisioned staff
and bands of their commands. If
there are more than sixty men in an

DILAroRY OFFICERS.

Another evidence of dilatorineSs in
the National Guard is made apparent
in an order recently issued from head
quarters in Sacramento. 1t follows:
The attention of all commanding
officers, and also all officers of the de-
partment of rife practice is called TO
the fact that, with the exception of
the report for Troop B. cavalry, all
reports of target practice for the pres
ent year are now delinquent so far as
their receipt by the inspector of gen.
eral rifle practice is concerned"
At various times in the last two years
orders issued from the various head
quarters have been sent out in any
style and on all sizes of paper, and as
this practice has been commented upon
adversely orders have been issued that
hereafter all orders must be issued on
paper 5x7% inches. AS soon as the same
can be obtained from the War Depart
ment at Washington, d. c., files Of a
suitable size for filing letters will be
issued to the different organizations.
The guard Of the State has been or
dered to change the color of chevrons
and trouser stripes from light blue to
white.
The division commander has come to
the conclusion that all is not as it
should be in the guard, for in a recent
order he says:
For the lack Of uniformity and in
struction given the men company COM
