joining the present high school on

GUARDSMEN NOT TO
Be DISMISSED

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 17.-CoIonel A
V. Bradbury. assistant adjutant gem
eral. in discussing the report that six
companies of the National Guard To-
Gated at San Francisco are to be mus
tered out of the service. said tonight:
Any report that any San Francisco
companies have been disbanded. or are
to be disbanded. is absolutely untrue
1t is true that the militia of San Fran
cisco is not UP to the standard Of eff
ficiency that we should like to see,
but we are making every effort to eff
feet a change in the department of
these troops.
Ever since the April disaster the
work of the San Francisco companies
has deteriorated. The men seem to
have lost interest in the affairs of
their commands. but far from adopting
any such drastic measures as muster
ing them out of the service. the de-
partment has devoted every energy TO
encouraging renewed interest in the
service.
II may say that the future of these
companies depends largely upon their
showing at the coming annual inspec-
ton. But any report or rumor that the
disbanding of any San Francisco COM
panies is contemplated is unqualifiedly
false
Adjutant General ]. B. Lauck Is now
in Fresno. In commenting on the con-
dition of 1.-THE San Francisco militia a
day or two ago. just after he had re-
turned from trip to that city, he
said:
Il have just been down to San Fran
cisco trying to get those fellows TO do
something.
When asked IL anything were radi-
cally wrong, he said: "Oh. no. but IL
is discoura ging. very discouraging.
and while he did not discuss the mat
ter further. he intimated that though
the San Francisco companies were mot
all that he desired. he was endeavoring
to correct their errors. and not to
Dust them from the services.

AYERS that in a quarrel at the Cohen
residence in September she was choked.

William Cohen. He denies the accusa-
tion, claiming that he showed the wom-

tremely abusive language in the pres

day in September to settle insurance
matters growing out of the big fire.
Upon her return TO Fernside she said
she was ordered to leave the place for
having disobeyed Mrs. Cohen's order
not to go away that day. There were
words and a violent scene, both she
and Cohen admit.
Justice of the Peace Cone released
the defendant on $50 bail At the re-
quest of A. II. Cohen a brother, the
case was not set for trial, as Edgar
Cohen, another brother. witness de-
sired by the defense, is in Los An
geles. William Cohen's arrest had
been delayed owing TO his absence in
