mounted to the colonel and band and
non commissioned staff TO the adiutant.
Other companies are invited to partici-
pate.
There was possibility that the funeral
might take place without any instrumental
music. The First regiment band has re-
Gently joined the Musical Union,
one of whose rules is that no
bend shall furnish music without
payment On learning that the band
was required TO give its services on
this occasion without pay nlent, the officers
OF the union informed the band that if il
played at the funeral, each member would
be hned $50. Colonel Haines was accord
ingly notified that the band would not fur
nish music. he informed Theodore Wag-
ner. the leader. that the band was
bound by the military regulations 10 play
at the funerals of officers, and that in case
1t persi ted in its refusal ii would be de-
prived of its instruments and uniform. At
another conversation In the evening, Mr..
Wagner admitted that the laws of the
union were not drawn with any thought of
military bands. which did not own their
instruments and uniforms and were su biect
to the army regulations He again placed
the matter before the officers of the union.
and returned 10 Colonel Haines with n
promise that the band would play, the otfi-
GERS having agreed not 10 press the fine.
there being no rule TO cover the case.
