ENTIRE GUARD
ORDERED OUT
BY GOVERNOR

SACRAMENTO, July 16. U.H -
Acting vigorously to suppress in
surrection and protect the right of
citizens, Gov. Frank F. Merriam
today ordered the entire national
guard of California to report for
duty in strike torn areas.
An emphatic statement by Mer-
riam called attention to the troop
movements and said: ....
"I called upon all California
citizens to cooperate with me in
upholding the authority of the
government and in rendering the
services to which the people are
entitled from the government.
1.-The question before me is one
of action. 1t does not concern the
right of any man or group of men
to strike. Nor does it involve, so
far as my duty is concerned, and
dispute between employer and
employee.
I'm joining a general walkout
the striking workers have used a
weapon against the whole people.
This forces the people through
their state government to take ex-
traordinary measures for the pres
ervation of their liberty and the
security of their persons.
Great hardship cannot be
escaped by hundreds and thous-
ands of men, women and chill
dren during the crisis. So far,
however, as the authority of the
state government can be exer-
cised the people affected by the
strike shall be fed their lives shall
be secure, and their property pro-
tected from malicious damage at
all hazards.
This means exactly what it i'm
plies. Any person or persons at
tempting to interfere with the
transaction of necessities of life,
or with the maintenance of law
and order, will do so at their own
risk and peril.
while the military forces of the
state are on duty under my direc
ton, no lawful pursuits of any citi-
zen shall be abridged by the ma
tional guard, and every effort will
be made by the military authorities
TO aid in the restoration and MAIN
tenance of orderly processes of ag-
Iiculture, business, industry and
commerce.
"The forces of law and order
throughout the state are cooperat-
ing in this situation, and any man
or set of men attempting to over
ride or rsurp the functions of con-
stituted authority will be forciby
restrained and held strictly account
able.
"If I shall err in performing at
this time, I propose to err on the
side of public interest. From those
in authority and from the general
public, firmness, prudence and un-
hesitating insistence upon strict OBJ
servance of the legitimate pursuits
of others must prevail.
Hence, it must be understood by
ALL that violence in any form will
not be tolerated, and that rioting
or any sporadic or concerted move
ments having the aspects of insur-
rection will be vigorously, summarily
and uncompromisingly suppressed"

food for the stricken city.
The situation steadily became

and crowded into touring cars.
A tight line of soldiers began
pressing uptown from the EN-

SAN FRANCISCO, July 16. -
San Francisco's general strike be-
came reality today, while militia
stood by to guard the peace.
At 8 a. m. 10000 union men
joined 10000 already on strike in
the San Francisco bay area, COM
pleting the paralysis of the city and
of much of the nearby area where
live a total of million and
quarter people.
No street cars were running, there
was no transportation of any kind,
hundreds of shops were closed
business was in confusion.
On the Embarcadero 1000 militia
men, half of whom had been
rushed here during the night in a
thrilling 225 mile dash from Moro
Bay, CAL, rested on their arms
awaiting a call to duty. The form
al orders it seemed certain, would
be issued by Governor Frank F..
Merriam before night.
Meantime public officials-the
mayor, the police commissioner
and others-issued stirring appeals
to the citizenry to stand by or
ganized government" and promised
that the rights and lives of cit
izens" would be protected.
There were indications that as
many as 5000 soldiers would be
on duty by night. At the hour the
strike became effective the 160th
regiment was being modified in

 That the Giants are in dead earn est about this purchasing business was revealed yesterday in dou- ble-barrelled announcement that shortstop Dick Bartell had been obtained from the Phillies in a $100,000 player and cash deal, and that in addition four new minor league stars had been bought.
 Thus, the Giants already have spent about $115,00O in cash pre- pairing for the 1895 National league pennant race.
 Surprise!
 Secretary Jim Tierney, speaking for President Charles A. Stoneham, made the announcement. It was received with considerable surprise by baseball followers who re- called that the regime of Memphis Bill Terry has been notorious for penny pinhcing.
 Terry is the chap who guided his club to the 1893 pennant after reaching an all-time new low for Metropolitan player purchases, spending only $15,00O for both Blondy Ryan and George Davis. And before losing the pennant this season, he spent less than that for new faces. Such economy, com bined with a successful team, en- abled the Giants to make Q net profit of $99,000 for 1883, and more than ,$2O0,000 for 1884.
 Because of the bitetr disappoint- ment suffered by New York fans when the Giants slumped and lost out in. the recent pennant stretch, Terry, Tierney and Stoneham de- cided there was nothing else to do but reach down in, the old sock and give the customers New Deal, If said customers were to con- tinue swarming into the Polo grounds. '-~ '- '--
 Bringing Bartell to New York certainly was a step in the right direction because h eis considered the most aggressive and one of the most capable shortstops in the cir cult. The Giants gave President Gerry x. Nugent of the Phillies an estimated $50,000 cash payment and four players valued at $50,- 900.
 The four Giants who will go to the Phils are Blondy Ryan and Johnny Vergez, infielders; George Watkins, outfielder and John Peg zullo, a rookie right-handed pitch CT who was sent out. to Richmond and Nashville last season.
 Young Blood
 The four minor league stars, pur- chased are Billy Meyers of the Co., lumbus club, considered one of the best shortstops in the American Association; Norman Masters, southmpaw pithcer from Crooks ton, Minn., of the Northern league and two men from Nashville of the Southern Associations; Frank Gab- Ter, a promising right-handed flin- ger, and Albert Cuccinello, second baseman and brother of Brooklyn's Tony Cuccinello.
 Secretary Tierney emphasized that President Stoneham had giver Manager Terry free hand in re-
