BITTER FIGHT

Musicians Have Knives and
HatchetS Out For Each
Other.
ONE OF THE BANDS DISBANDS
A Few Members of Hyatt's Military
Band Resusciate it and HurridIy
Preserves it's Name by Getting
State Charter. One
Band Has Disappeared.

The musicians of the city are greatly
agitated over the recent developments i'll
band circles and us band man said
last night the men who play in the VAR
ious bands have more knives and hatch
cts out for each other than the striking
miners and soldiers in the cilol regions
in Pennsylvania.
The storm, which broke recently has
been brewing for long time and some
interesting developments are promised
in the near future.
The trouble was precipitated by j.
Norris Robinson, member Of the First
Regiment Band, withdrawing ana organ
izing a new band known as the Phil
harmonic Band. This band although
only II few weeks old has twenty active
members and ut times puts thirty men
on the street.
The band drew members from Hyatt's
Military Band and practically caused it
to disband.
In order to save the name of the band
and also prevent the total dissolution Of
| thise famous organization, the following
members of the band, Walter ID. Walls,
q. w. Moody, w. 4. Cross, q. w. Par
vim and y. Ii. Scarles, with others last
Monday secured from Secretary of the
State Hughes, II charter for an organiza-
tion to be known as Hyatt's Military
Band
| They say they will protect the name
by legal means ii necessary. 1t is said
that an organization known as Hyatt's S
Band has been organized to furnish
music for the Knights of Golden Eagles
on their trip next Thursday to philadel-
phia. Mr.. Walls and his companions
say their chartered organization will not
play for the Eagles and that il is not
therefore Hyatt's band that will play
that day.
The Municipal band has not bcen
seen ON the street lately ana is said To
have dropped out of sight. It's members
are playing in other bands. The Ma
tional Guard Band is commencing to at
tract attention and is getting in the gen
eral fight.
Band men are watching with interest
the suit brought by j. Norris Robinson
against certain members of the First
Regiment Band for money due him fol
hire of uniforms and for music used by
the band.
y hearing win be held before Magis-
trate Kelley next Thursday.
