AFTER D NEIL
ON NEW LINE

Christopher w. OBrien today sent an
and registration regarding the registra-
tion of Timothy f. O'Neil. which seems
TO put up TO the board To give him a
more satisfactory and prompt reply than
1 nthe case OF his earlier letters His
communication is as follows:
"On Sept. 4, / called your attention to
what appeared to me as an act of ille-
gal registration on the part OF one Tim
othy T. O'Neil. who gave "a his residence.
100 Potter avenue, Sixth ward list district
Not having received any reply up to Sept
IL, I again called your attention to the
matter and requested your decision.
After waiting about a week was in
formed by telephone by Mr.. Whitley,
chairman Of the board. that the board
had investigated the matter thoroughly
and had arrived at the decision that
Timothy f. O'Neil was a legal voter in
the city of Providence in the Sixth ward
Mr.. O'Neil himself has stated to the
citizens OF this city, through the medium
OF the public press that he resided with
his brother I'm law. Edward NJ Burke at
$50 Potter avenue Sith ward. first dis
trict, until Sept. g. 1906, and that since
that time he had lived with his brother,
Patrick II. O'Neil at 164 Colfa street.
Sith ward, sixth district.
II am justified. / think, in believing
that either Timothy +. O'Neil made an
o ther mistake when he said he lived at
l6i ColfaN street, or that the investigation
conducted by the board OF canvassers was
not very thorough; for the reason that
since the board OF canvassers and regis
tration has rendered It's decision, | have
received information from reliable sources
which convlnces me that neither Patrick
r. ONeil nor Timothy Il. O'Nen resided
on Sept II. 1905. and do not now reside at
l6i ColfaX street, Sixthward, Sixth dis
trict.
"In view OF this peculiar condition of
affairs, and owing TO the facts as above
stated | would respectfully ask the board
OF canvassers and registration TO inform
me whether or not Patrick II. O'Neil has
changed his voting residence 60 some adj
dress other than '16i Colfax street. and
whether or not Timothy T.. O'Nen has
again, for the second time within one
month. changed his voting address.
"In enclose self-addresed stamped en-
velope for reply. which trust your hon
orable board will see az 10 grant at your
earliest convenience"

and will give Mr.. Fay a band composed
Of some OF the finest soloists In the coun-
try.
The American band was Incorporated
under -se laws OF Rhode Island as the
American Brass band but was ! ong
known as Reeves American band. When
Mr. Reeves died In March, 1900. and the
leadership was assumed by Mr.. Church,
there was no desire 10 change the name;
bun II is now felt for the best interest
OF the band that the present leaders
name should be identified with H.
The band will have In Mr.. Fay as a
leader not only a skilful. well-trained mu-
slcian, but also a sagacfous business man.
1t is the intention or Mr.. Fay to take
the band throughout the country and add
more laurels TO it's already distinguished
name; and the first public appearance
OF the consolidated bands will be at the
Brockton fair next week.

morning Bowen r.. Church resigned as
leader and agent
The band then voted 10 consolidate with
Fays band and 10 more from its pres
ent quarters 10 " Weybosset street. the
organization henceforth 10 be known as
Fay's American band.
A few weeks ago Edward M. Fay, leader
OF Fay's Second Regiment band, learned
that Mr.. Church was dissatisfied with ex-
listing conditions and Immediately made
overtures 10 him. with the result that the
leader OF the American band entered into
a contract with Mr. Fay for a number OF
years as soon as his contract with the
American band and Mr.. Sheppard should
expire
With the action OF the American band
this morning II now remains only with
Mr. Sheppard as 10 the time when Mr.
