troversy with the American Federation
of Musicians relative 10 his employment
of members of the Marine Band, and the
boycott resulting therefrom, and says;
The hunor of the situation IS appa-
rent that at the present time the WASH
ingou Symphony Orchestra and Inyse1
are now boycotted by the Washington
public, as represented by their inaugural
music committee, IN favor OF the Ma
rine Band

Reginald de Koven, director Of tina
Washington Symphony Orchestra, is out
IN a statement regarding the contract
for music az the Inauguration CT the
President
He declares, in the beginning OF his
manifesto, that he had been informed by
two members OF the inaugural music COM
mittee that any further steps on his part
in the interest Of the civilian music
would bring upon him "tfle personal era-
nifty OF every member or the inaugural

Upon this alleged threat his statement
is based.
No AK to Grind.
Mr.. De Koven protests that he has ssno
PERSONAL ak 10 grind - and declares that
in order ito provide the Nations Capt.
tai with a much needed opportunity to
hear good orchestral music he has ne
elected his profession. and cut his pro-
fessional income n half, and given three
years of his time, thought and energy
to the interests Of the symphony or

He then continues:

THE SITUATION IN RUSSIA
Universal Suffrage Would Be Hard
Blow to Revolutionists.
Would BE Forced to Use Against
Constitutional Monarchy Weap-
ons Used Against Autocracy.

ST. Petersburg, Nov. 25.-The leaders
OF the social democrats say that If the
premier agreed to universal suffrage II
would be a hard blow to the revolu-
tionary organizations and would COM
pei them, when 1t was demonstrated
that the supporters of a democratic re-
public were in the minority in the ma
tional assembly, to employ against the
constitutional monarchial regime the
weapons which they have been using
against the autocracy.
The zemstvo congress has received a
petition asking that 1t declare itself in
favor Of the autonomy of the ancient
kingdom of Georgia. No action has
yet been taken either on this or on a
similar request from Poland. which
vas sustained in a brilliant speech by
Count Verublevski.
Premier White is being bombarded
by kilograms from all parts Of Poland
praying for the abolition Of martial
law and the granting of autonomy. The
demand for the autonomy of Poland has
encouraged the Lithuanians to make 4
similar demand. The premier has re-
ceiyed a petition asking that autonomy
be granted to the provinces included in
the old territorial limits of the king
dom Of Lithuania, which include Wilma,
Gradno, Kevno, part of Gourland and
a portion OF Suwalki, which are now
comprised in the limits of Poland, but
which the petitioners wish to be taken
away from Poland and Joined to Lith-
uania.
