GUARDING THE JAIL.
Evans and Sontag Cost Fresno County
Several Hundred Dollars.
Fresno Expositor, May 5.

Fresno Expositor, May 8.
The matter Of the bills presented for
guarding the Jail last fall from an attack
which it was believed Evans and Sontag
had in con temptation is receiving much at
tention from the Board of Supervisors
The bills. aggregatng $3.50. were presented
last Monday. Nobody had o KID them,
and the board declined to consider them
until II could be ascertained by whose au-
thorlty the men were employed to guard
the jail. The men who presented the
bills. which ranged from So to $3.50 each,
said that Major 5. S. Wright and Captain
Led Winchell had hired them to guard the
jail.
So Yesterday afternoon Major Wright
and Captain Winchell appeared before
the Supervisors and told what they
knew about it. The men employed
were National Guards from Companies
Z and f, and Governor Markham had
given permission tor them to use the State
arms for the purpose of guarding against
Evans and Sontag. These guards had
been stationed at commanding positions
from which they could shoot any person
| who should attempt to blow up the jail.
Captain Wi2cheI, in addition 10 being
captain of the National Guards, was also
Deputy Sheriff at that time, and Sheriff
Hensley had given to his keeping the de-
| tense OF the jail, telling him to employ
| twenty men, if necessary. but nine was
the greatest number of National Guards
| ever on duty at one time.
Although the men were National Guards
yet MAJOR Wright said they were en-
| ployed as private citizens and not as
! soldiers
The Supervisors submitted the bills to
| the District Attorney and will act upon
| his opinion OF the legality of the charges.

Thomas Says That Nobody Has Au-

CHICAGO. May 1.-THE report of the
music investigating committee is a most
severe arraignment of Theodore Thomas
and his method OF conducting the Bureau

Chief Harpist Schnecke, who proposed to
a local firm of musical MISUNDERSTANDING
facturers that he would play their harps
for a bonus of $1,000 year. Schnecke, in
his testimony, it appears, admitted having
made the proposition. Before the COM
mittee Thomas, however, denied being in
any way connected with any house en-
gagged in selling or manufacturing musical
instruments. He declared that the author
iIy OF Drector-General Davis over him
was merely nominal.
The committee concludes by an express

exhibited for award should be used for
performances; that the usefulness of Pro-
fessor Thomas at tie head of the Bureau
of Music of the Worlds Columbia Expo

the recommendation that the director
general be instructed to request his resig-
