\V. W. Sale, mid even Colonel Charles

ditional light upon the situation along

from Washington governing the move?

who have accented the invitation for
service in Texas.
The report that all railroads offering
bids for ilie transportation of soldiers
from Virginia to Texas must give Iii
their bids by noon l?-tldy has been
Authoritatively denied. It said there': Is
no time limit placed upon the rail?
roads competing in bids for the trans?

"Sweet hells jangling out of tune"
Is the description given by a member
of the Council Committee on Grounds
ahd Buildings <>f the situation as re?
gards hand concerts In the parks this
summer, 'rite committee will meet to?
morrow night, and, in order to shut
off an Interminable debate, may in?
vite scaled proposals stating the num?
ber of concerts, the number of in?
struments and players and the char?
acter of music to be supplied.
Three hands are after the ?;:,P'jr. pro?
vided by the ciiy Council In the an?
nual budget for music in the parks.
Chairman Batkins, of the Grounds ami
Buildings Committee, was and i:s op
po-co tii the item, a-; was the Com?
mittee on 1-Miiaine. hut the Council
amended the budget and inserted the j
item over the opposition of those who j
have been trying to keep Separate
the use of city funds for current ex?
penses and (he appropriations which.!
were for work of a permanent char.- j
acter. j
Nevertheless, there is to he music? j
its much music as $3,925 will buy?and
! it is up to the Grounds and Building
Committee to make the purchase;
To Guarantee Hand,
j One argument advanced during the i
debute was that the appropriation
> would ;,f' in I ho nature of a subsidy j
I to one hand and so guarantee lite j
j maintenance In iliehiubnd of a high;
I grade musical aggregation, ready to
j be called upon In any time of parade
i or public celebration There have been i
two struggling bands connected with:
! the State militia |n Hlelimond. and |
the fear is now expressed that so large
j i subsidy to one will mean the death j
j of the other?thai ii will ?not be able
J to stau.I Iii?' competition with so great I
i a Ita ndh a p. I
j tine applicant for Ihc contract f?<t [
music in Ihc parks is the band of the j
I niohmond Light Infantry Blues, now
i claiming to he the best organized nin- [
j sleal company In the city. The second
I offer comes from Joseph KcssntCh. who
j is backe d by the First Virginia Hcgl
J nieht, and it cannot bo denied that the
J work of the regiment went fur toward
i gaining the votes needed for the music
Item. A third proposition will come
from l-'rofessor Stein, who has been
called the head of the music trust 111
Blelimond, leader of Hie Bijou orches?
tra and general director of the orches?
tra at the Academy of Music.
The kessnlch band is now being or?
ganized. The proposed Stein band has
not been organized, but will be eom
j posed largely of the talent now In the
theatre orchestras.
irrilfitiM ii feature*
; Professor Stein and Professor Kess
' nlcli are union men. and both promise
n strictly union brand of music. The
I Blues' baud employs some talent which
[ it \z said cannot exhibit the union
I card. ITofcssor Stein has no military
I reinforcements, his strong cu d being
I the brand of music ho will be in a
I position to furnish, Professor Kcss
! ii ich formerly led the Bijou orchestra
j ami promises if he gets the contract
I to malio l.i- band a perinanent institu
j tldii, hoi a summer gathering of liiu
I stcinus who will scatter with tile first
I frost.
Not only is the union feature to be
? made prominent in the tight, put judg
I In:;- by its action in the employmeni
of playground attendants, the Grounds
j and Buildings Committee will insist
I that the musicians lie citizens and
j voters. The Grounds and Buildings
Couuhittee lias not determined whether
j Building inspector Beck or Assistant
City .'.nglnecr Pontaine Jones, who has
? eharge of parks, will be assigned to the
duty of checking up the band concerts
from night to night and seeing that
the various instruments harmonize.
Somebody must see that the city gets;
, its money's worth of real mimic.
INVOLVES LIQUOR LAW
Interesting Point liaised in Appeal to
Supreme Court.
A writ of error was granted yester?
day by the Supremo Court of Anneals
ot \ Irginiti in the case of H. .1. I'erri
iher. indicted by the Circuit Court of
Taz- well county for a violation of rev?
enue laws. The lower court held the
accused guilty of shipping a riuumtltv

A called meeting of the State Hoard

o'clock in the courtroom of the Slate
Corporation commission; at the state

searching inquiry into the alleged mis?

plaint published recently by George
B. Davis, the resigned superintendent.
The investigation, which Is t>' he thor?
ough; Is had upon the urgent appli?
cation of Charles Hutzler, president
of the institution. Dr. George H. |
Denny, of Washington and Dee Univer?
sity, will preside over the hearing as
chairman of the state Board, and
George B. I'avis will be summoned be?
fore the court of inquiry to substan?
tiate Iiis allegations, which are very
serious.
In his signed statement criticizing
the management of Canted Reforma?
tory during that period in which he
was superintendent of the school, Mr.
Davis sets forth that he was given
unsound meat with which to feed the
> outltful inmates of the school.
About Purchase*.
The published statement of Mr. Davis
went so far as to more than intimate
that director? made it necessary for
the school to patronize certain dry
goods establishments over others
Another ehtirgc brought publicly by
Mr. Davis against the management of
the school is that I". a. Catlin. in?
surance agent, had overinsiircd the
Laurel school. It was a I charged
Thomas Poindexter, commission mer?
chandise broker, connected with a. C.

thousands of dollars annually.
Upon the publication of the Davis
charges, Mr. Iluizler called upon Gov?

closeted for a. lone; time. Leaving the
executive pftices, Mr. Ilutzler went di?
rect to those of the .secretary of the

l Mann gave Mr. Baldwin the desired!
i letter, but declined to enlist Iiis net- I
srinal efforts in behalf -of tlie release I
ol the. Georgia murderer. The Govern?
or said Unit in would do this only at
such time as the citizens of Danville

Before leaving for Georgia vesterdav
Detective Baldwin said that thousands
of people nil throuvh Vlrgipia had
signed a petition to Governor Brown !
of Georgia; for the release of Stripling
Me ssid thai lie knew Stripling per?
sonally, and that lie had rarely ever
known a vior.- etliclcnt officer or a bet?
ter chief of police.
Mr. Baldwin said that Stripling bad
ten children .'to! a wife, all living, and
was among the most popular public
ofllcers in Danville when placed under
arrest, lie believed practically the en?
tire city of Danville had signed the pe?
tition asking for the release of t!i"

Stripling was arrested and sentenced

sufficient to greatly mitigate all hlahic

The Governor said yesterday thai
