SACRAMENTO, April 15.-Emanat-

flee, orders were issued today that VIII
turn the amateur military world up
side down.
1t is a peaceful revolution that the
military men will contend with tnls
time, but it will be as great shock
nevertheless. as IL 1t really were some
thing sanguinary. The fact that !,
comes with scarcely any warning at al
is what will hurt.
San Francisco will get the full force
of the blow. For the first time in her
history since the state militia was or
ganized she will be without either a
division or brigade headquarters. she
will lose one of the most efficient Of
ficers in the National Guard service
Brigadier General John A. Roster, who
is rendered supernumary by the new
order. =,
But the salt to the new wounds Will
be the knowledge that what is going To
be San Francisco's loss will be Los An
geles' gain For Los Angeles Will be
the headquarters for the only brigadier
general left in California. General Rob-
ert Wankowski will be the whole thing
then. while General Roster will have
retired to the rear and sat down.
Only Coast Artillery Left
All that will be left in San Francisco
will be the headquarters of the coast
artillery, consisting of only sixteen
companies of infantry that will be
transferred. These companies will be
under command of a colonel, who will
be called chief of artillery. The head
quarters of the naval militia will be
there, but somehow the sailors
are considered a part of the land sol
diery, there being some inde1nable diff
ference And for this the people OF
San Francisco are going to be asked to
provide site for the new 1920, 900 arm
DRY that the military is authorized to
build.
OF course, there is nothing of feeling
about these changes They are all
made according to a bill that passed
the last legislature, which followed the
lines laid down by the Dick congress

militia In rearranging the N. G. c,
Adjutant General Lauck had no choice
General Wankowslki is assigned to the

after will consist of the second, fifth

their absorption means the placing on

Construed

Mrs Adde E. Upton as wife and
Upton filed a complaint through her
attorneys, Sharpstein and Sharpstein in
which she asks the court to construe
the will of the late c. B. Upton and
more particularly that part relating to
a trust which embraces one-half of
the estate and of which w. H. Upton
now deceased, was named as trustee.
The complaint is long, covering over
81 pages of type written copy. 1t was
brought out in the complaint that c. B..
Upton left his estate divided into five
parts, of which one was to go to his
step mother, Mrs. Marietta Upto1., one
to George B. Upton, a brother, one to
Mrs. Amanda Upton, wife of Joseph B.
Upton. The remaining two parts were
to go to William H. Upton, one of these
parts as compensation for his trustee
ship and the other part out of regard
for him. Mrs Addie Upton now wishes
the court to construe what shall be
done with the part given to w. H.
Upton as trusteeship as it is alleged
that he meyer performed any duties in
connection with this estate as his
death occurred soon after that of C. B.
Upton. The W. H. Upton estate con-
sisting of sixteen different people is
named as defendants in the suit. The
estate of c. B. Upton was valued at

cured list of thoroughfares that win
