ovERPRoDUcT1oN OF MUSIC.
Chicago Musicians Union Would Limit
Output-Defensive Move

CHICAGO. March 24.-An over-production
of music is believed by the Chicago Fedora
ton Of Musicians to be threatening Chicago
Consequently the union proposes to relieve
this situation by establishing a Limitation
of output 49,
Let each union musician agree to fur
nish SO much music and no more" said an
official of the federation. On this basis the
scheme Is now being formulated.
President L. F. Kennedy of the Musicians
Union has prepared a list of all theaters
and concert and dance halls in the city,
together with the seating capacity and size
of each. The next step will be to establish
q minimum sized orchestra or band which
wall be allowed to play in the various places.
By this method Of restriction, 1t is hoped
the musical output will be checked
It will be possible under such a plan to
furnish only a modicum of grand opera or
ragtime to an audience of five hundred per-
sons For 1000 persons the amount will
be doubled and the ratio will be maintained
Indefinitely.
Officials Of the federation explained that
it was defensive move.
Managers have been reducing the size
OF orchestras and bands until we have been
forced to seek protection" they said. Three
or four players were expected to make
themselves heard in a hall seating 1000 or
5000 persons. The musicians always re-
ceived the blame IL they did not succeed.

curious persons who besieged him when he
began to spend his days in the tomb he
said his wife was as dear to him as ever

man attracted caused the cemetery officials
to object to his mode of living, but he was
finally allowed to remain in the cemetery
during the day. He was usually the last

hours at a time he would sit by his wifes
coffin and talk as he did when she was
alive. He was able. he said, to understand
her responses. Mr.. Reed received many
visitors In the cemetery, but would permit

COMMISSION TO MEET.
Stone for Construction of Municipal
Building to Be Considered.

The District building commission will hold
a meeting at the office of Secretary Shaw,
at the Treasury Department at II O'Clock
tomorrow morning, for the purpose of Sc
lecting the particular kind of stone to be
used in the construction of the new munich
pal building. 1t had been intended to hold
the meeting this morning. but Secretary
Shaw was obliged to go to Baltimore today,
SO the conference was postponed until to-
morrow morning.
1t is expected that the question of the Sc
lection of stcne for the building will be
definitely settled at the meeting of the COM
mission tomorrow. The session will prob
ably last for several hours many points
will have to be considered and the relative
merits of several propositions will have to
be decided in connection with the commits
Sions preference for stone.
1t is thought likely that all the bids SUBJ
mitted last October will be rejected and
that bargain will be made with one of the
bidders submitting samples in that compe-
ution. So far as can be ascertained the
members of the commission seem to prefer
the white granite in the event it can be Sc
cured at a satisfactory price. and if this
cannot be done then the decision, it is
thought. will lie between either South Do
yer or Cherokee marble, the former New
York stone and the latter product of
Georgia.
