nah, Mo.
Detectives Whitaker and Reynolds on
Monday night searched Loughridge's
room in the house on Devisadero street,
where he had been living. They broke
open trunk and found a tin box filled
with rare coins, which was taken from the
bank vault at the time of the robbery.
Among the coins was a 50-cent piece
coined by the Confederate States.
The box and its contents were taken to
Captain Lees, as also bundle of letters
which are said to throw considerable light
upon the movements of the gang since
the burglary. So pleased was the captain
at the find that he caused Loughridge to
be registered at the City Prison as fugi-
tive from justice.
Loughridge was taken before Judge
Campbell yesterday to answer the charge
of carrying a concealed weapon. At the
request of Carroll Cook, his attorney, the
case went over till to-day bail being fixed
at $1,000.

THE MAYOR NoN.coMM1TTAL.
A Protest May Be Sent Through Con.
gressman Mcguire to the Secre-
tary Of War.

Washington is a long way off, but the
members of the Musicians Mutual Pro-
tective Union, in common with other
American citizens, seem to look to the Ma
tions capital for the aid which they con-
slider their just due.
1t appears that his Honor the Mayor has
engaged the Presidio band to play at his
baths. This does not suit the Musicians
Union. The union men have set a rate,
and any one of them who plays for fee
below that figure does so at the peril of in
curing the union displeasure. 1t is
alleged that the PIesidio band, receiving
already salary from the Government,
and being in no actual need of extra gains,
has contracted with the Mayor to play in
the Sutro Baths at less than the estab-
lished union fees. Hence the trouble.
A private meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Musicians Union was held
yesterday afternoon at the unions head
quarters, President Kent occupying the
chair Several of the members of the
committee were loud in their denuncia-
ton of the Mayor, and would have recon-
mended violent measures. However, it
was reported that the Mayor had already
made arrangements for the engagement of
to cite any reliable authority in support
of the rumors, but as it had been heard by
more than one of the members of the
executive committee it was decided to
defer any action until after further devel-
opments. The matter will, however, be
presented for consi1 Grafton at Fridays
meeting of the Labor Council.
The members of tie union are deter
mined to find out what the Mayor intends
to do in the matter. His Honor is very
reticent and did not seem desirous Of
stating his position when questioned on
the matter yesterday.
In case the Presidio band is retained in
the Mayors employ the union intends ad-
dressing the Secretary of War, through
Congressman Mcguire, asking the Secre-
tary to intervene and pre- vent the engage
ment of the Presidio band in competition
with the union musicians. The musicians
are resolved to fight the issue to the end
in the event that the Mayor refuses to
change the present regime. The outcome
of the affair is looked for with some inter-
est by all the labor unions.

Harry de Windt of London, an explorer
and correspondent of the Pail Mall

He is en- route to penetrate some of the
wiIds of ALASKA, and returning will ex-

Irkutsk Mr.. de Windt has been in Siberia
three times hitherto, and has visited many
of the noted prisons and convict settle
ments. He differs radically from George
Kennan in his views of the treatment of
these prisoners. According to Mr.. de
Windt, the Russian convict has about the
best time possible to imagine. Usually he
works or not. as he desires, and if he does
work he is paid for it. He has leisure, and
can talk and smoke, something unheard of
in English prisons.
Finally Mr.. de Windt is of the opinion
that of all the hard citizens he ever met,

murder and other somewhat similar in
discretions may be found in goodly num-
bers in and about the penal settlements,

back the concern to carry 1t through its
temporary troubles and enable it to fill it's
contracts. The funds coming in from
these contracts will place the firm on a
sound financial basis.
"As matter of fact" said Louis Steiger,
the resident member of the firm, yester-
day, ''some of our heaviest creditors have
expressed confidence in our ability to pull
out all right and have refused to crowd US.
It was the crowding of the bank
that urged our workmen on TO at

$3.50 in claims have been actually
filed. We will soon have sufficient back
ing to start the pottery and carry out
$500, 900 to $400, 600 in contracts that are
now on hand, and this money will enable
us to pay off our most pressing debts and
get into calm waters again.

About sixty persons were present at

stated the purpose of the meeting and
then called upon ]. Macconeo to explain
things to the satisfaction of the Italian
contingent.
The latter explained at some length the
benefits to be derived from a union. and
drew an object lesson from the strike of
six years ago, when the unions forced the
contractors to pay the old wage of So so a

Emanuel Picasso followed with plea
