ness.
Mr.. Johnson, representative of the
Fairmont miners, was granted the priv
ilege of the floor, and made an address
in which he stated that he was solicit
ing aid on behalf of the miners in the
Fairmont district. He made a state
ment of the situation there, saying the
operators refused to recognize the
union, or sign the scale, and the union
workers are suffering in consequence
The Assembly decided to delay action
until the Fairmont committee present
ed proper credentials from the miners

debate brought out = fdlversity IL onlns
ion regarding the merits of the scheme.
Among those who addressed the Al
sembly were Delegates Donnelly, Lewis,
and Jones. Several speakers referred
to the lack Of adequate information up
on the subject, and the suggestion was
made that members Of Council might
be induced to appear before the Assem-
bly, and discuss the merits of the re-
funding ordinance. The Assembly
finally decided to invite four members
of the City Council to debate the ques-
ton before the Assembly, two on the
affirmative, and two on the negative
side.
The delegates manifested great deal
of interest in the matter, but it, was
evident that many of them are in the
dark as to the provisions of the ordi-
nance. The Assemblys action, if car
ried out, will result in a more intelli-
gent understanding Of the matter, and
the proposed discussion will be a
means of disseminating knowledge Of
this important measure among the diff
erent locals, thereby enabling voters to
act intelligently upon the matter if ut
submitted to them.

bury was obligated.
Very little routine business was

Ex-President M. F. Tighe took the
floor and made an address to the dele

THAT PIANO DEAL
A Musical Firms Attorney Recalls the
Peculiar Proceedings

One Of the piano dealers in this city
explains why the board of education
piano deal has not been proven to be as
vile a scandal as the eXtortion of money
from a poor janitor in the course of the
present investigation, by declaring that
the would-be corruptionists were fright
ened off that kind of game. 1t is
by no means certain that the plano pur-
chase will not be shown up during the in
vestigation as another means used by
the boodlers to feather their nests with
coin, but up to the present time the pros
ecution has not disclosed the informa-
ton it has on this subject
A well known attorney, who repre-
sents the dealer referred to. but who
would not permit the use either of his
own name or that of the dealer, said last
night that a threat of an injunction suit
prevented the contamination of an out
right steal in the piano matter. Direc-
tor Bartlett represents the Kimball
pianos, and that instrument was offered
to the school board at $3.50 apiece. 1t
was, Of course, impossible for Bartlett to
make any bid on this piano, but general
agent from the headquarters of the plano
company offered Lindell pianos at $110
and the Whitney at $780, All of these
were at the time declared to be prac-
tically the same make, the difference be-
ing In gneral finish and workmanship.
Webb and Adams were the committee
who went from store to store and looked
at the pianos. In the course of their
rounds they visited the store Of the
dealer before mentioned and asked to see
his goods. Instead of showing them
what they asked for, he gave the two
members hint as to what they might
expect from him. He openly charged
that the whole thing was steal, and
said, furthermore, that If the contract
went to Bartlett he would secure an In
junction against the board, and stop the
award.
This threat and the exposure Of the
scheme by The Herald at the time
brought the committee to its senses AMI
the result was that they decided to re-
port favorably upon the bid of Gardner
This is the story which the attorney says
is the truth about the piano deal, and 1t
is given for what it is worth.
NOT THROUGH YET
1t had been expected that the prosecu-
ton in the school board investigation
would finish its case against Webb to-
night but recent information which the
attorneys on that side have received
will prevent their closing as anticipated.
There may be several sessions Of the
investigation before they are through
with the accused. The matters that have
been called to the attention of the pros
ecution since Saturday will require some
investigation and this may delay their
closing.

Three Thousand Already

Secretary Virgins received yesterday
morning communication from the hor-
ticultural department at Sacramento,
stating that $4,000 had already been Sc
cured toward defraying the expenses
of California exhibits in foreign coun-
tries. The total amount asked for is
$4,000. AS the exhibition of California
products in foreign countries is matter
of great Importance to the people of this
state, the desired sum for this purpose
should be raised at the earliest moment,
as the exhibit should be placed before
the best fruit Is sent out Of the country.
Several small contributions toward the
funds have been received by the cham
Der of commerce here, but those who
would be mostly benefited by this exhi-
biton are singularly enough, last to re-
alize the Importance to themselves of
such a move,

Bragg, W. H. Warren, E. M. Merrifleld
and A. 1. Richardson.
Messrs. Conrey, Davis and Webb de-
clined to vote; Poor. Bartlett and Mathis
voted for Hughes, and McInerney for
Bragg.
Mr.. Webb declared that the reason he
had wanted to have the vacancy filled at
once was because he desired that full
board should be present when the in
vestigation against him was resumed
tonight.
Mir. Mathis here begged leave to with
draw his vote, and Webb Immediately
voted for Hughes, although he had pre-
viously pledged himself with great earn
estness not to vote then. Chairman
Conrey announced that there was no
choice.
1t was then moved and carried that the
board adjourn, to meet tonight at 7:30
in the city hall to continue the Webb
investigation, and that the following
meeting take place in the school super
intendent's office on Thursday at 1
o'clock to elect Adams successor.
