LOCAL OPTION BILL AMENDED.
1t Now Goes TO the Assembly Committee
oh Rules.

ALBANY, April 1s.-After a bitter strug-
gle the Wainwright local option bill was
amended in the Assembly to-day in the
form in which it is expected to pass, The
most important change made is that the
question Of local option shall only be SUBJ
mitted at a general election, thus preventing
the question from becoming an issue in a
municipal campaign.
Assemblyman Schoeneck tried to amend
the bill to prohibit clubs from selling in
toxicating liquors in a district that has
gone for local option, but it was defeated.
The bill now goes to the Rules Committee
Of the Assembly. which has charge of all
Assembly legislation.

DEFENDS NATIONAL GUARD.
General Roster Says They Have Done
Good Service at san 4Fraf4ciscos

San Francisco, April 24--In answer TO
the criticism of the National Guard of
this city General Roster has issued the
following statement:
Immediately after the earthquake,
the National Guard troops were called
out for patrol duty to render every as
sistance in their power. In the absence
of well defined organization of all the
military and police forces. each troop
took upon itself the performance of
such duties as seemed the most import
ant at that time. Since then. however,
the city has been rediStricted between
the regular army, National Guard, and
the San Francisco police department In
addition to the performance of regular
patrol duty. the National Guard has
established throughout the district re-
lief stations for the purpose of provid-
ing both food and shelter. This in a
measure has reduced the force that
might be available otherwise for mere
patrol duty.
Since taking command of the dis
trict assigned. no disturbance of any
kind has occurred in the national guard
district but a great deal of annoyance
has been caused to the troops by the
many special deputies. many of whom
it is believed are self-constituted The
presence Of these deputies has in many
cases given rise to complications and
in some Instances unpleasantness, all
of which has been laid to the national
SAd10 NAtODS. we certainly lIiuh I46y
are doing the state a great injustice
In the face of all this, 100 citizens to-
day passed a resolution to the effect
that owing to the fact that a large
number of regular troops are available
for patrol duty 1t was deemed adviS-
able to request the governor to with
draw the national guard. The resolu-
tions are commendatory in tone, but
nevertheless. officers and men of the
national guard feEl-that it was a sIur
on the service coming as it does in the
face Of many complaints which have
been made against the organization. !"
