COURTMARTIAL SET ASIDE Gov. Gillett Disapproves Technical Charges Brought Against Capt. Stern of Co.E—Capable Military Officer has Fulf Justice Done Him by Executive Gov. Gillett on Thursday last disapproved and set aside the courtmartial found some months ago against Capt. Herman Stern, commanding Company E of this city. Capt. Stern was found guilty of a technical violation of the articles of war in permitting a private who had been voted in the company, but who had not been mustered in, to answer at roll call during the annual inspection and muster of his company. The private answered to the name of another member of the company, who was absent from the ranks, and upon the answer the company was credited with parading 100 per cent of its membership at annual inspection. The company at the preceding annual inspection paraded 100 per cent of its membership, and Col. Wilhelm, inspecting officer, entered more minutely into his examination of the men in rank. Closely questioning every enlisted man as to his name and term of service, he came finally to the new Change of Owners The store for many years ducted by Herman Stern passed into control of Ahlborn mond, who have purchased and fixtures and taken a lodge upon the building. The predeceased be given an entire renovation plate glass windows will be on the east front. The Center street front will be devoted to dry goods, and a trance on Los Angeles streets the grocery and gents' furnishings. The store when it will be one of the handsome county. A new stock of goods purchased and will be on hand soon as the alterations are completed. This will occupy sixty days meantime a clearance sale will in the near future, to make new goods. Of the new proprietors it is necessary to speak of the senior Capt. Ahlborn has resided here for years, and is well known throughout the community president of the chamber of commerce he was active in promoting welfare and as a business man the forefront of those labor earnestly for its upbuilding. Glad to note his return from after an absence of a year, that he may prosper in his business. Mr. Raymond is already quite known in the community the father of Mrs. Ahlborn president of the Raymond was absent from the ranks, and upon the answer the company was credited with parading 100 per cent of its membership at annual inspection. The company at the preceding annual inspection paraded 100 per cent of its membership, and Col. Wilhelm, inspecting officer, entered more minutely into his examination of the men in rank. Closely questioning every enlisted man as to his name and term of service, he came finally to the new recruit, who answered to the name of the absentee. Immediately the incident was discovered, and Stern ordered the private out of the ranks, saying: "If you do not know what your name is, you have no right in the ranks." The company was thereupon given a percentage of 98, and Stern was later in conference with Wilhelm and other officers in his private office at the armory. A courtmartial was ordered and sat in Los Angeles in December. Stern showed he had no cognizance of the affair, had not been in personal command of the company that evening, and disavowed any intention of disobeying the rules and regulations governing the national guard. Nevertheless a verdict of guilty was returned, in accordance with a strictly technical interpretation of the articles of war. He announced he would immediately appeal the case to the governor, and that official, after investigating the charges completely, set aside the findings, adding there existed no ground for the action of the courtmartial. The governor's action meets with hearty approval not only in local military and civilian circles, but also throughout the regiment, as many congratulatory telegrams testify. Company E, under Capt. Stern's command, has twice stood in second place among all national guard organizations in the state. Two years ago its only superior was the Salinas troop of cavalry. Last year the company left the troop far in the rear in the annual inspection and muster, but was nosed out at the finish by Brigadier-General Wankowski's former company, A of Los Angeles, which leads the national guard in the west. The company has responded twice to calls for duty in San Francisco, once immediately following the fire of two years ago, and a second time in the ber of years, and is well known throughout the community president of the chamber of he was active in promoting welfare and as a business man the forefront of those labor earnestly for its upbuilding glad to note his return from after an absence of a year, that he may prosper in his buiMr. Raymond is already quite known in the communicating father of Mrs. Ahlborn president of the Raymond Pile company of Chicago, and completed foundations for government docks and warehouses Canadian government on rence river.

Last year the company left the troop far in the rear in the annual inspection and muster, but was nosed out at the finish by Brigadier-General Wankowski's former company, A of Los Angeles, which leads the national guard in the west. The company has responded twice to calls for duty in San Francisco, once immediately following the fire of two years ago, and a second time in the street-car riots last year. In the latter's instance, the company was put upon marching orders shortly after daylight, orders having reached the captain from the commanding officer after midnight. When the day following orders came to take train for the north, the company had 21 minutes to make the depot, a half mile away, and load its equipment aboard cars. The men marched on the double quick, and hastily summoning trucks hauled the equipment to the station, where the train, on orders from headquarters, waited five minutes for the troops. When call came for troops in the Spanish war, the guardsmen were again on hand. The seventh regiment marched upon the parade grounds at the Presidio, 500 miles away, an hour behind the first regiment, which was right at home. Thus the seventh lost the honor of going to Manila, but it was a close call for the up-state citrus belters. Company E has a proud record, and much of the credit is due Capt. Stern, who has commanded the company during the past six years. William Eisenberg of Los Angeles is in jail at Santa Ana in default of $3000 bail, on a charge of forging the name of his partner to 100 shares of stock in a knitting company. Eisenberg spent some weeks here a year ago, and proved himself to be quite impossible.

A large crowd of people gathered in the cemetery early and awaited the coming of the veterans and ladies of the W.R.C. At 9.45 the assembly call was sounded, and Rev. J. J. White delivered the invocation. School children fell in line, each carrying a bouquet, and following the veterans, placed flowers upon the graves of departed heroes. Company E, under command of First Lieutenant Kellenberger, acted as escort to the old soldiers, and the city band, under the leadership of Walter Crowther, discoursed martial music.

Reading of orders and ritual followed, by Comrade O. V. Knowlton. Prof. Brunton, principal of the Fullerton high school, read Lincoln's Gettysburg speech. The professor pre-faced the reading with a brief address upon the memorable occasion. In part he said: "In the midst of the civil war, and amid all the public duties of his office Lincoln is asked to address the great throng that gathered on the battlefield of Gettysburg to dedicate a part of it as a national cemetery. He had so little time for preparation that he did not begin to write the oration until he was actually on the train on his way to deliver it. He then wrote it out on a bit of scratch paper, looked it over carefully a few times and thrust the paper into his pocket. Edward Everett, the most pollshed orator of the time, was the orator of the day and preceded Lincoln on the program. He spoke for two hours and the vast assembly listened with rapt attention, for they knew they were listening to a masterpiece of eloquence. It was such an ovation as only patriotic Americans can give to a man they delight to honor. A moment after this polished gentleman had taken his seat on the platform a tall, gaunt figure detached itself from the group on the platform and slouched slowly forward to the front of the stage. A stir and a whisper brushed over the sea of humanity as all eyes beheld the president. But he had been sitting speechless for two hours and his voice had become husky, so that his first sentence came forth in a queer squeeking falsetto. This was too much for the crowd. They laughed right in his face. But instantaneously recovering himself he went on with his speech. They scarcely breathed as the noble sentiments of that great oration were pronounced to them. When he had finished, he stared at them for a moment and they at him. Then slowly he sank back to his seat. Not a sound of applause greeted him. Only a great sigh from the throng and then the choir began singing a dirge. Lincoln felt that his speech had been a failure. But Everett, approaching him, said: 'Mr. President, I should be glad if I could flatter myself that I came as near the central idea of the occasion in two hours as you did in two minutes.'" Rev.

Bailey, pastor of the Fullerton Christian church, delivered the address, speaking in part as follows: Memorial days are love's tide-marks; they show how high the affections of the human heart can rise. The word "Memorial" comes from the same Latin root as the word "memory." This, then, is a memory day. I am not here so much to make an oration as to stir old memories and that is all I shall attempt to do. Forty-three years have passed since the close of the Civil War, yet the memory of those days can never be forgotten. To every old soldier they stand out like a line of mountain peaks above a plain. For forty-three years poet and orator have been adding line upon line to the memorial tablet of our heroes. A beautiful and touching literature has grown up about it. What more is left to say? Seemingly very little, and yet there is left an inexhaustable store. I want to speak first of "Memorial Day and the Flag." We ought all of us to be proud of the flag. About the flag of no other nation does there cluster such sacred and precious memories. The flag of no other nation stands for such high ideals or floats over such a splendid country. When I was a child I prized the flag for its bright colors, its unsoiled fabric, its beautiful grouping of the stars and stripes. I thought that flag was most beautiful which had just come from the Continued on Page 8. JUNE 4, 1908 NUMBER 33 A SPECIAL For The Boys Boys' and Young Men's Suits for one-fourth less.
