Increased Efficiency of Bands.

Another bill provides for increasing the
efficiency of army bands both in the num-
Der of members and In the scale of pay.
The Secretary says the present pay scale
of the playing members of the military
bands runs from s13 to Sd per month
which is utterly inadequate to secure and
keep competent musicians. The monthly
pay of bands as now organized Is, for in
fantry bands s4I3 and for cavalry bands
$3.50. The bill increases the amount of pay
to s7S1 a month. 1t is provided that the
bandmaster shall receive 800 month.
The Secretary strongly urges the passage
of a bill increasing the pay of non-cor1-
missioned officers in accordance with the
principles followed in the armies of all the

TO RAISE A MACDOWELL FUND,
Mendelssohn Glee Club Starts Movement
to Aid the stricken Composer.

1t was voted last night at the fortieth
annual meeting and dinner Of the Mendels-
sohn Glee Club to take the initiative in
establishing a fund the income from which
is to be devoted to the support of Edward A.
Mcdowell, the composer, and at one time
a director Of the club,
. Mr.. MacDowell's mind failed about two
years ago and he was compelled to resign
the professorship of music at Columbia
The fund is to prevent it becoming neces-
sary for him to enter a public in stitution
Nothing definite as TO the method for rails
ing the money was decided upon but the
idea was outlined in an address of Allan
Robinson, the retiring president of the club.
He said in part;
An eclipse has come into the life o
Edward Mcdowell, the greatest American
composer, and it is w TO his friends here to
see t o it that the remainder of his life is
spent outside Of a public home. He needs
financial assistance. The project was
brought up some months & but fell
through. Now Mrs. Mcdowell has con-
sented to the raising Of a permanent fund,
the interest of which is TO be devoted to his
care during his life, and afterward the fund
is to be used in a fitting way to perpetuate
his memory. This is TO be a national fund,
but it is right and proper for us to start It. "
On motion Of Horatio j. Brewer, President
Benjamin Prince was directed to appoint
a committee of five active members to
devise ways and means to bring the matter
to public attention.

the New York City Street Railway. was
arrested in the Tombs police court yester-
day afternoon on a charge of grand larceny

ing on the old charge OF giving false in

VOTE MACHINE PUZZLES MAYOR
Told at Public Hearing That City Can Act
without Legislative Mandate.

The bill which passed the Legislature to
compel the city to establish voting machines
in at least eight Assembly districts had a
public hearing before the Mayor yesterday.
A machine was put up in the reception room
for illustration, but there was no one to
explain its workings. The Mayor, after
looking it over, decided that it was a mys-
terry he couldn't solve.
John .Voorhis. chairman Of the Board
Of Elections, opposed the bill. He said that
the expense would be very great. as each
machine costs about $500, and that the city
would be obligated to use whatever ma
chine should be installed for the experi-
ment. He declared that the Board of
Elections, with the approval of the Board of
Estimate, had already the power TO install as
many voting machines as the city needs.
Albert S. Bard, chairman of the ballot
reform committee of the Citizens Union,
opposed the bill on the ground that it en-
couraged straight voting, and because the
introduction Of the voting machines would
tend to delay the introduction of the Massa-
chusetts ballot.
Assemblyman Stanley, who prepared the
bill, spoke for it, but received no encourage
ment from the Mayor.

second street, chief engineer Of the New
York Edison Company's plant at Thirty
fourth street and East River, was the tech
meal defendant in the Court Of Special Ses-
sions yesterday in the first smoke case
actually tried. The complainant and CHIEF
witness against Andrews was George Smith,
a Health Department policeman, who eaid
he Jaw a big cloud Of smoke Issuing from
the company's stacks on April 10. A repre-
sentative Of the Property Owners Associa-
ton testified that cinders which issued from
the stacks continually fell on the surround
ing properties.
The defence denied the accusations n
showed a series Of 900 photographs OF the
stacks, in which only a thin, hazy smoke
could be eeen. The photographs, how
ever. had been taken between the hours OF
2 and s P, NJ, and the complaint alleged
that the offensive smoke always issued
from the stacks at other hours. DR.. Oar
Engton, the Health Commissioner, was in
court and testified briefly.
Andrews was found guilty and May p
was set for sentence. The defendant asked
that sentence be imposed at once. as be had
concern in another city and wished to leave
New York. The Court, however. refu sed
to change the date.
1t was the plan Of the Health Department
to make a test case Of the charge against
W. E. D. Stokes, proprietor Of the Ansonla;
Abe Gruber said that Mr.Stokes was III and
it would be unfair for the case to be heard
in his absence. An adjournment was
granted. The case was put over to May l8
