Guilty (Which occurred at drill some weeks
ago. was composed of Major G. H. Hub
bard, Major Clinton L. White, Major
Frank d. Rysn, Lieutenant John Miller

Article y, of the constitution of the com.
pany reads:
ExPULsIoN.-Any member guilty of general
neglect OF duty may, by a majority vote of the
company, have his name stricken from the roll
OF the company. =
This" said Captain Davis, sis a sufficient
| answer to the assertion that it requires
two-thirds vote to expel member Now
in regard to members of the band having
votes in company affairs, l wish to direc
attention further to the provisions of Arti
Gle lN. OF the constitution, which is as fol.
| lows:
DEPARTMENTS. The company shall be divided
into three departments
(G) A Committee OF Affairs, which shall con
slst OF all the members of the company who are
entitled to vote, and which shall have charge
| OF all civil affairs of the company.
10y A Troop of Cavalry, which shall consis
| OF the active members of the company only
who shall become as proficient as possible il
| both individual and concerted military action
| (c) A Brass and Reed Band known as the
sacramento Hussar Band" which shall con
slst OF not more than twenty members of the com
| pdny, who are sufficiently versed in music L
render practical service as musicians.
Further" said Captain Davis, "Articlt
VIII. declares that it shall he the duty o
the band to be present at the meetings o
the Committee of Affairs, target shooting,
etc. On the Investigating Committee wer,
| two able attorneys-Clinton L. White anC
Frank D. Ryan. They inquired into tn,
matter OF the right of Band members Il
vote with the Committee of Affairs, and de
cided that, beyond question, members O
the Band have votes in all company mat
| ters.
The report of this committee came be
tore the company just as q verdict of jur,
| comes before Court of Justice. The re
port Tor verdict was laid before the com
pany for action at the last meeting, and, a
| above stated, the report was adopted by
majority vote, and Fishers name accord
ingly dropped from the roll. That is al
| there is to the matter, so far as Fisher
| membership is concerned and the actor
OF the company upon the report of tn
| committee, and this is, of course, all il
which the public generally are interested
The cause of all this trouble is anothe
matter, and it would not, perhaps, b
| proper to refer to it outside of the com
| pany's meetings"
