COMPANY E FOR MUSTER OUT? COL. SCHREIBER IN TOWN ON SATURDAY BRINGS EYE-OPENER Second Election for Captain Called for Jan. 7, and if no Selection Is Made, It Will Be All Off With the Company, Which has Great Record Col. W. G. Schreiber of Los Angeles, commanding the Seventh regiment, N.G.C., was in Anaheim on Saturday, inspecting property belonging to Company E, which for some time past seems to have been without a recognized head. The state's property is under control of Capt. Stern, whose successor has not yet been chosen. It was found to be intact and in good condition. First Lieutenant Kellenberger, who has been in command of the company since Stern's retirement, has tendered his resignation, so it is reported, and may shortly leave this vicinity. Second Lieutenant Selinger, who could have the captaincy if he would take it, has refused it. Col. Schreiber announced that a call for a second election for captain liberal spirit of intercourse retained. "The company seems to have forgotten by our people and seems to me to be deplorable institution in this city is more consideration than E." The company has one of military records in the state. Twice it stood second in the for efficiency in drill, conditions its arms and equipment andance at drills. It served to San Francisco, once in the April, 1906, and again in the incident to the carmen's strangely of its members were at sidio with the seventh regiment the days of the Spanish war least one of their number Halpin) is now in the regular being a lieutenant in the arm of the service. That the company should countered rough sledding and to be mustered out of service gretted by all who are co-with the subject. The course of its commanding officer two ago was unfortunate, and with the company have not ed materially of late. An effort will be made to election at the time called First Lieutenant Kellenberger, who has been in command of the company since Stern's retirement, has tendered his resignation, so it is reported, and may shortly leave this vicinity. Second Lieutenant Selinger, who could have the captaincy if he would take it, has refused it. Col. Schreiber announced that a call for a second election for captain had been called for the evening of Thursday Jan. 7, 1909, and that unless a captain were chosen the company would be red out. Some weeks ago an election was called for captain to fill the vacancy caused by Stern's retirement, but no quorum was present; Major Vestal of Santa Ana, who conducted the election said at the time that a second election would be called and that if no quorum appeared the company would probably be dismissed from the service. During his visit here Col. Schreiber, while speaking to a former captain of the company, now retired to the ranks of a civilian, urged him to take the office of captain, saving he (the colonel) would in that event make two visits here weekly in order to place the company upon a good footing. The gentleman declined the offer, but has since been urged by others to stand for the office, which he formerly very ably filled. Among other names mentioned are those of Sergeants Adams, Spellman and Tausch, three young guardsmen who have in them the making of an excellent commanding officer. What the election next month will bring forth remains to be seen. "The fact is," said a leading business man, "the citizens of the community have drifted away from the company, and lost interest in it. This is not as it should be, and an active interest in the company shouldanimate not only our citizens, but our boards of public officials—the city council, chamber of commerce and merchants and manufacturers' association. These bodies should do all in their power to show the guardsmen their patriotism is appreciated, and that the company should countered rough sledding and to be mustered out of service gretted by all who are co-witness with the subject. The course of its commanding officer twoago was unfortunate, and with the company have not ed materially of late. An effort will be made to elect at the time called and a capable officer chosen to take up its guidance. The sympathy between our people this crack military organization too strong to think for a more permitting it to be mustered out an effort to set it right material is excellent, there better in the state. All that wanted is a captain. One can choose a commanding officer to call out a quorum. Let the second one will be attentive better luck. COMPANY TO BE MAINTAIN The consensus of opinion business men is that Company shall be maintained at all times. The names of two prominent business men are mentioned in this and first lieutenant. It has been suggested that ling of citizens be called to at the armory the evening of election, at which a banquet served and speeches made in the company. Among leadiness men the thought that the pany must be maintained live support, and a concert will be made to have capacitors selected.

This is not as it should be, and an active interest in the company should animate not only our citizens, but our boards of public officials—the city council, chamber of commerce and merchants and manufacturers' association. These bodies should do all in their power to show the guardsmen their patriotism is appreciated, and they should take greater interest in their affairs.
