Orchcstry, and is given for the benefit
Of 'hcsc organizations.
There are few of our readers who
realize how much Of an up hill climb il
has been TO the members Of the band
and their leader to build up a musical
organization that would be n credit TO
our city.
on account Of the lack Of funds aud
for the lack Of intcrcs, on the part Of
our otherwise public spirited citizens.
II we would only stop to consider the
fac. that there is a little group of TWEEN.

giving their time and hard work three

DISCARD STRIPES
IN SAN QUENTIN
AND TWO THOUSAND INMATES
DANCED AND SANG AS THEY
BURNED OLD SUITS.

San Francisco, Nov. 1.-TWO thou
sand inmates of San Quentin prison
danced and sang about a big bonfire
the other day while they tossed on
the flames the striped suits which al
ways had been worn at the historic
old penal institution. And as they
rejoiced over the passing of the
stripes, they did not forget to give a
few cheers for Warden John Z. Hoyle
who for a long time had worked for
this reform
Men clad in neat suits of cadet
gray-blue, watched the flames blot out
custom that has been called by
poets the degradation of the convict
and the ultra-reformers "the medieval
ism of our modern prisons But SIX
striped suits were reserved from the
conilagration These belong to the
six "incorriglbes"-m in solitary
confinement, men whose records with
in the prison have placed them in
the lowest possible category.
But for the others, the passing Of
the custom opened new era in be-
havior and it's rewards. Henceforth,
marks will distinguish each Of three
classes-the middle class, that which
behaves only under stress and is not
particularly anxious to reform or
make good" the honor class, that
which has seen its mistake and can
be trusted to make the best of its lot,
and the incorriglble class, the six
men whom only solitary confinement,
away from their fellow men, can hold
in check.
Placed at the outset in the big mid
die class, the man who rises to an
honorable position will receive on
his cap a broad, black band and on
his sleeve a black crescent, both re-
wards for his distinction.
This is a matter of sentiment to
me-this change in the uniforms at
this particular time" said Warden
Hoyle. I have been working out this
idea for months. 1t has been delayed
by many matters which could not be
helped, but now that I am resiSning
the wardenship, want to see the
stripes discarded before l leave San
| Quentin"
