BIG DRUM WAS SILENT
Rain and Crowded Cars Cause Change In
Dance MusIc

Dance Music.
The big bass drum failed to sound and
make complete last evening the music of
the orchestra which played for a dance
at Masonic Temple. John Rossiter, leader
of the First Regiment band, was sched-
uled to bring the drum as well as play It.
It was pouring when he left his home
with the big instrument, SO he hailed
street car. But the first car was
crowded So was the second, and the
third and the rest.
Rossiter and the drum finally arrived
at the hall, but the drum was the only
one OF the two which had not walked.
Both were soaked-the scheduled player
to the skin, the drum thru the skin. The
drum was too wet to be played, the man
too wet to play. So the light fantastic
had to be trpped with the heavy brass

Police Asked to Stop the Curb

In the Monroe school district,
which surrounds the school at Frank

s, an epidemic of gambling Is preva-
lent among the young boys, and it has
become SO serious and widespread
that the police have been asked if
they cannot do something to check It.
Citizens who daily see the youngsters
often more than hundred Of

playing at craps and exchanging PEN
MES, nickels and dimes with the

the district, are wondering what man

will turn out to be.
The other day a business man who
has children Of his own went to the
Monroe school and had talk with
the principal, Miss Florence Weston,
about the behavior Of these young
sters. He asked Miss Weston If she
had noticed 1t, and she said that she
had, and had wondered why the par
ents of the boys permitted them to
continue such a, bad and dangerous
habit. She said, however, that she
had not noticed any cases, with per-
haps single exception, where pupils
in her school had shown disinterest
in their lessons because of the gam
bling mania that exists in the neigh
bOrhOOd.

A Mothers Concern.


The woman proprietor Of a little
candy store near where the boys often
shoot craps said:
Eyes, I have noticed it, and am
sorry, for I have a boy Of my own
and I'm afraid he will be led astray
in this way. I have to keep the
closest watch Of him when he is here,
and on holidays I try and send him
to the home Of my sister in North
Minneapolis, SO he may be away from
these rough gangs that hang around
here. Yes, it is true that these boys
spend good deal Of money for can
dy. that is, a good deal more than
they would under other circum-
stances; but I'd rather not have that
kind of trade and be rid Of these
young toughs, for that's what they
are coming to be-toughs."
Residents in the vicinity said that
the police, when notified, sent a lone
patrolman, who walked 1eisurely
along swinging his club, while the
alarm spread before him, Cheese It,

resumed their playing when the blue
coat had passed. These men said
they believed vigorous action by the
police would break up the gambling

 Mention has been made in the newspapers of the fact that Chief Judge Parker last week, on the same day that he fixed the time for his noti- fication. addressed letters to his asso- ciates in the court. These letters were a request for a special session Of the Court of Appeals, to be held at date soon as possible, at which all pending business of the court in which Chief Judge Parker has taken part could be disposed of.

It is the custom 10 have these opinions, when prepared, submitted to every judge, and it not infrequently happens that one or more judges change their minds on a fuller consid- eration of the subject, and sometimes the final vote of the court decides the appeal differently from the prelimina- ry vote.

 Some time since, when his nomina- tion seemed probable. Chief Judge Parker communicated to his fellow judges his intention to resign from the bench as soon as nominated His associates, without exception objected to this course. They pointed out that, entirely aside from the fact that his resignation is not required by the State Constitution, and that it was their personal desire that he should con tinue on the bench. if he were to re- ign at once it would seriously disar- range the business of the court and cause considerable delay.
 "The cases which were heard at the June term would have to be reargued unless more than quorum sat with out Chief Judge Parker and the decis- ion was unanimous. The cases heard at preceding terms and which were undecided would also have to be re argued; that is. to a great extent the court would have to begin its work over again from the point where its last decisions were handed down.
 "Chief Judge Parker has always been most considerate of his associ ates and most desirous of facilitating the business of the court. He recog nized that carrying out of his original intention would not only disorganize and delay the business of the Court oi Appeals, but would occasion much ex pense to counsel and litigants.
