"Captain Berger, Salt Lake.
want my question answered. How
much assistance does Cohen need to
rush band home by Sierra? Reply
paid. CARTER
Up to last evening no reply had been
received from Captain Berger.
The $1,000 estimate given by Cohen
is considered much too high, in view
of the fact that there are supposed to
be but forty-four people with the band.
Counting sl100 for steamer passage and
to.
cisco and $3.50 for four or five Gays
stay in San Francisco awaiting
steamer. the sum of $4,000 is thought to
be sufficient at the outside.
DELAYED BY WRECK.
The misfortunes of the band appear
to multiply according to letters re-
ceiyed from that organization. One
received yesterday was dated from Salt
Lake, where the band had just ar
rived. The writer stated that the band
was to have played at Provo, Utah,
about forty miles south Of Salt Lake.
A matinee and an evening performance
had been arranged for and both houses
were sold out. The matinee receipts
tota!ed about $500. But when within a
few hours of Provo en- route from
Grand Junction, there was wreck
whether of the train on which the band
was travelling, or one in advance, the
writer does not state. AT any rate,
the band did not reach Provo until
night and the matinee receipts were
lost. The writer stated that the band
expected to leave for Los Angeles on
November 9. According to Cohen's ca
BILE received yesterday. the band is still
in Salt Lake.
TO SUE ON BOND.
When the band left Honolulu a bond
of $1,000 was furnished by the United
States Fidelity and Surety Company,
through the Henry Waterhouse Trust
Company to ensure the safe return OF
the instruments. The band instru-
ments are the property of the United
States War Department and were loan
ed through Col Jones, commanding the
First Regiment N. G. H., to Cohen
and his sureties for the tour. The
agreement in the bond was that the
tour should terminate on September 80
and the instruments be returned here.
Attorney General Peters states that
the bond matter has now been brought
to his attention and demand has been
made on Joel c. Cohen and the Fidelity
Company for the return of the in
struments. In fact, demand letter
from Col. Jones to the Fidelity Com
pany was sent to the Henry Water |
house Trust Company on Monday even
ing. Mr.. Farwell of the insurance de-
partment of the trust company visited
the Attorney General yesterday to get
ittfn ,.tr1D In, frix
and If the cash is not put up, the At
torney General will bring suit. The
bond is a surety in the penal sum Of
$4,000, so the government feels that it
has cinch In the matter.
If the authorities wished, a cable
gram could be sent to the commanding
officer at Fort Douglas. Utah, the mil
