RANDALL SAYS NO
And His Say SO Stops the Concerts at
Present.

After Mr.. MCGOWAN wired Alderman
Clark that he favored Sunday band concerts
and 1t was understood that the first of the
series would be given next Sunday, Council
man Randall, who supported Alderman
Clark on the question. wrote him this letter
PORTLAND, July s. 1891
c. d. Clark, ESQ.,:
Dear Sir:-I notice by this mornings
paper that you have wired Mr.. McG0wan IN
regard to the concert and have MS reply a. III
favor. / supposed the understanding Mhen
we parted Monday night was 10 avail MS ar
rival home. and can see no, occasion for
such haste. and therefore shall not consent
RI anv concert until after his return and the
whole committee has been called together.
Yours, U. ID. RANDALL
Mr.. Clark's statement is that the commit
tee is a special committee, not committee
of record. When the committee met Mon
day night Messrs. Birnie and Carter said
they should oppose Sunday concerts, and
Messrs. Clark and Randall that they should
favor them. Mr.. Clark Is the chairman of
the committee and as such considers that it
Is his privilege. as it is that of the chairman
OF all committees, to call the committee to-
gether when he deems it advisable, and
never imagined that there would be any op-
position to his endeavoring to bring the
matter to head. OF course the action of
MIR. Randall stops the concerts for the pres
emit at least, as the committee now stands
three to two in opposition to their being
given.
Yesterday Charles Dunn, Jr., and VIM. K.
Neal called at the City Clerks Office and
copied the original order establishing band
concerts, probably with the idea OF bringing
the matter before the court.
Its intimated that If concert is given the
same method of procedure may be adopted
as In the recent cases of Sunday ball games.
In those cases all the members of the ball
teams participating in the games were
placed under arrest. 1t is possible that
when Chambers band strike up their first
tune sheriff may appear on the scene and
arrest every member on charge of violating
the Sunday laws. 1t is al open question as
to whether this would be of any avail toward
permanently putting a stop to Sunday con-
certs. but it would certainly bring the music
to close on that Sunday. The legal aspect
of the case is attracting some interest anon
