AMERICAN BAND
MAY APPEAL To
INTERNATIONAL

Bowen r. Church today stated that
the action of the Musicians union would
probably be considered at a meeting OF
the American band either tomorrow or
the day following
He said that as far there had been no
consideration Of seeking an injunction
from the courts, nor had he any idea
that such action would be taken.
When the band next meets IL will
probably devote its attention exclusively
to-this- -Hatts-; and 10 may be decided
10 take an appeal TO the International
This by some Is considered the most
likely action; and some claim that the
whole matter is one in which the local
union has no jurisdiction.

CITY MUST PAY
FOR THAT AUTO

1t is not believed that. after the city
council has voted 10 appropriate any
sum or money asked for by the police
commission, with which to conduct Il
police department as in the com, iis-
sion's judgment semes best. the coun-
ell has the right to step in and say
that this or that bill shall not be paid
because the expenditure is "extraordin-
ary,' or for any other reason.
Every year the commissioners decide
upon the amount they will need for
the maintenance OF the department,
including salaries. equipment. supplies,
etc. They ask the council for the sum
and the council votes what IL considers
right as II does for other departments
OF the city government over which IL
has more control that IL has over the
police department.

SILVER GOES UP
TO RECORD PRICE
Precious Metal Reaches Highest Point
Since Passage Of Sherman
Purchase Law.

The price OF silver yesterday reached
the highest point since the Sherman
purchase law passed. Uncle Sam bought
10000 ounces at 7O15 cents per ounce
In November. 1902. silver sold for Al
cents. In four years. therefore. 1t has
increased 50 per cent In value, and there
is every evidence that the increase will
continue for some time.
The Indian government after being
out Of the market a long time. is re-
ported about to enter again. Mexico
is again buying silver for coinage; and
China has seriously entered upon the
policy OF silver coinage.
There will, OF course. presently be an
increase in production. to compensate
for the great rise in value" said Direc-
tor or the Mint Roberts. lone great
factor IN the situation is that Shere has
been no increase IN world production Of
silver for ten years. But business all
over the world is very large and ex-
panding; the demand for money every
where Is heavy. Subsidiary coinage IS
required in about a fixed proportion to
the amount Of other money and trans
actions; and this calls for silver"
