This statement followed Quick on the heels of the news today Martin Aguirre, who, warden San Quentfn, was Involved In scandal at the Marin county penitentiary. Is slated for the job of turnkey at Folsom.

The Information that a determination had reached to give Aguirre a choice slice of the patronage pie was ladled out today, and it is said that the- goods will be delivered just as as the prison directors can get to it and comply "with the formalities. Agruirre's brother was given the job of overseer a few and it Is generally understood that Lieutenant Governor 'Warren Porter balancing: come political accounts securing- rheni eoft berths and that he is losing pending- the Cnal arrangements will make things pleasant arar comfortable for KEIM.Y~S nAXDS ARE TIED Reilly of Folsom has stated his friends that he Is opposed to. the rlianges now being made at the prison, that hands are tied and that he im powerless to keep efficient men cfiice in the face of the demands of the republican machine organization for patronage. The story comes from the prison that he a mere- figurehead, and this he practically 'admits iiimself. Captain Cochrane and- Guard Jolly, who distinguished themselves in the break of 1903.

are Reilly's personal friends and he made a fight to keep them in their positions, but without Although both are men of the greatest efficiency end with thebest of records. Cochrane has been let out entirely aod Jolly hae been reduced from a $125 position to one that pays him but $65 a month, with the evident intention of forcing him to resign. But most Interesting of all the is Yell's story of being approached with a proposition that in exchange for his reappointment lie. turn over the patronage of the prison to the party bosses. Tell refused to consider such a demand, ajjd successor was appointed -at the meeting of the prison board.

Yell declares that the story Js true In every detaiL OFFERS COMPROMISE It is known that Governor Gtllett called Tell into conference and offered to compromise and guarantee his retention in office If would surrender I the patronage of. the prison. When Tell refused to consider this proposl- i ilon another compromise was oSered. Jle was told that If the "push" could name a successor to Turnkey JLaxnphrey And Captain Cochrane It would be satisfied and he could stay, but still refused. Then the dealings were called off and Tell was ousted without further parley.

Aguirre, who is now slated- for. turnkey, Is a close friend of Warren Porter, but. his political reputation suffered a Might while he wu in office at San Quentin. There, it is, asserted, he had the convicts build a considerable quantity of furniture which he presented to former 'Jofernor Gage as a gift. Governor Glllett denied last nightiat Fairmont that be had held a conference with Yell at which a had been offered for the delivery df patronage of the prison.

He dec-ared that he had always held aloof from the politics of the institution. only time I talked' with Tell his office was time when 'he dropped in to me i Sacramento" said the governor. "At that time I knew was a plan afoot to dis- Tell, and I told him that I was very satisfled with his adminSstrat.on of the prison, and hoped he would be retained. The matter of patronage not why, for that matt-r. It would not have been necessary him to offer me patronage or any.tWng else, for he had my good will ready.
