There is trouble in Company B, Sixth,
Infantry, and if the threats that are
said to have been made by Colonel r..
K. Whitemore are carried out there
mustered out of the service.
The company elected James Haddow
captain and Roy Krider first lieuten-
ant, and they were presumably or
dered to appear for examination before
the board within twenty days after the
board received notice of election. Colo
mel Whitemore went to Sacramento
from Modesto, where the board meets,
and there, with Colonel J. w. Guthrie,
awaited the coming of the two officers
elect, but neither appeared and the
board adjourned.
Mr. Haddow said in explanation that
his failure to appear before the board
was because several days before the
time set for examination he had sent
in his declination. and that In all prob
ability the same did not reach Colonel
Whitemore.
| 1t is said that the notice for exam
nation was for a date beyond the
twenty-day limit, so, take it alto
gether, it is considerable of a mixup
Colonel Whitemore, who is the presi-
dent of the examining board. is of the
opinion that Haddow is guilty OF dis
respect to superior officers, while Had
dow is under the impression that, hav-
ing sent in his resignation through
channels, he is absoIved from any want
of respect to the superior officers.
This has created quite a furry in
the Sixth, and many interested are
wondering how the culonel Of the regi-
ment can recommend that the company
can be mustered out simply because
some one who had been elected to an
Office had neglected to go before the
board. They want to know IL the
colonel expected that the company
would assemble and Wis ct armis take
the captain-elect before the board
Report has it that Company H OF the
same regiment is not up to the stand
ard. and that If there Is not improves
ment very soon that company will be
put under the ban and be recommend
ed for mastering out.
