TROUBLE OVER A BAND.
The Commissioners Refuse 10 Issue n
Permit 10 Parade at Night.


The Commissioners Yesterday received a
letter from Thomas Washington, colored
leader Of a band, protesting against the
action Of the police in refusing TO give
him permit TO parade with his organiza-
ton. The letter was referred to the Su-
perintendent OF Police for enquiry and the
report was made late yesterday afternoon.
Major Sylvester stated that there was no
discrimination shown in the issuance of
permits, but it had been deemed eXpedient
10 refuse to issue permits for bands to
parade at night
There have been a number of complaints
received at Police Headquarters regarding
the disorderly conduct of the crowds whicE
follow such bands Major Sylvester says
that recently a case had been brought to
mis- attention where a policeman was Sc
verely handled by a crowd that was follow
ing a band. II was developed, when the
complainant applied for a permit, that
his band was to be used 70 advertise
fair or sociable Of some sort.
The Police Department takes pleasure
the chief says in issuing permits for bands
to parade within the city limits, provid-
ed it is not done at an unusual hour and
not for The purpose of ADVERTISING some
