MILITIA OFFICERS
ARE DEFIANT

Orders issued by Adjutant General
Lauck for the mastering out OF the
States service Companies A and NJ,
First Infantry of the California Ma
tional Guard, stationed in San Fran
cisco, met with so much opposition on
the part of the officers of the entire
regiment that they held a meeting
body If the order were enforced. Sug-
gestions of political aspirations on the
part of the adjutant general were used
as an explanation of the sudden de-
cision to remove the companies.
Whether the adjutant general will
look upon the matter as a case of In
subordination on the part of the off,
GERS and take military means of pun
ishing the officers for rebellious ac-
tions, or will comply with their ex-.
pressed wish. is matter of much con-
lecture by those who are familiar with
the circumstances. The adjutant gem
eral was informed of the stand of the
regimental officers in the following tel
egram sent to him last night, a copy
of which was sent to Governor Pardee
also:
"At meeting of the officers of the
First Regiment Infantry. N. G. c., held
this evening, it was unanimously de-
cided that If general orders No. 1. A. G.
o. c. S., relating to the mastering out
of Companies A and H, be executed, all

Colonel First Infantry, N. G. c."
The order mastering out the COM
panies is. in part. as follows:
Companies A and H. First Infantry,
N. G. c., and Troop A, First Squadron
of Cavalry, N. G. c., located in San
Francisco, Cal, having fallen below
the standard of efficiency. are, upon
recommendation. of the brigade COM
mander, ordered disbanded and mus
tered out of the service of the State,
to take effect January s. 1907
Before the earthquake the same
companies were ordered mustered out,
but the disaster interfered with the
carrying out of the order. 1t was re-
pealed later, on the ground that the
members did excellent work after the
fire. 1t is argued by the officers who
are making the protest that the COM
panies should be given a chance to
make good at the annual muster of the
regiment in March.
Besides Colonel Kelly, there will be
among the officers who threaten to re-
sign Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Nc
Creagh, Majors Mathewson and Egg

BERKELEY. Jan. Snow fell this
morning. while the lowlands about
the bay were being drenched with rain,
and when the wind pierced a rift in
the clouds Berkeley and Oakland folk
and the jewellers around the bay
caught a now vision of the Berkeley
hills. clad ia what the poets call the
beautiful" The sensation caused by
the sight was like that occasioned by
p complete metamorphosis Of region
long familiar to its people.
The flakes fell in such clouds that
the hills were mantled in white for
miles and miles along the range that
divides Contra Costa and Alameda
counties, and all in such a brief time
that the transition from a bare, brown
landscape 10 one OF white was like a
bit Of magic.
The snow came about the middle Of
the forenoon Churchgoers got
glimpse of the work OF Jack Frost on
their way TO services and late risers
were greeted when they appeared on
the streets with the news that a snow
storm had been busy in the hills.
AT once there was a hegira 10 the

even from Oakland
The college men and girls turned
out in hundreds. Fraternity and So
rOrities were represented by bands

shroud had been laid upon hills that
before were dun-brown or green. The
sight constituted a fascinating novelty
and was enjoyed by thousands who
were fortunate enough 10 gain good
vantage points from which TO view the
spectacle.
The fact that the snow fell while
rainstorm drenched the lowlands
spoiled whatever opportunity there
would ordinarily have been to witness
the falling OF snow. but the loss of
this part Of the spectacle was atoned
for in the beautiful picture the still.
white snow made OF the Berkeley hills.
The temperature this morning at
the time OF the snowfall was about
% degrees Fahrenheit. Professor
Charles Burckhalter OF the Chabot
Observatory. Oakland. states that the
last heavy fall OF snow in this vicinity
was in the winter OF 1856. That fall

The weather phenomenon today is due,
according TO Professor Burckhalter, to
atmospheric conditions IN the south,
which opened the way for a cold wave

Professor A 0. Leuschner, in charge
OF the observatory on the campus,
made notes Of the conditions today
