The world famous Philippine con-
stabulary band will play in San Fran
cisco while on the way to Washington

tory of music, the band has been prac-
ticing for seven years, and it is said
that it now has no equal.
The constabulary band is nearly
twice tire size of the usual military
organization of the kind. In the mid
die of their concerts 40 OF the bands
men lay down their brass pieces and
take up orchestral instruments, form
ing a complete symphony orchestra of
62 men.
The constabulary band is being sent
to Tafts inaugural by the board of
trade of Manila as token of the re-
gard of the people of the Philippines
for the president elect. There will be
delay Of several days between the ar
rival of the transport Buford and the
departure of the troupe for Washing
ton, and the government has consented
to permit three performances In San
Francisco under the management OF
VIII l.. Greenbaum. These concerts will
be given in Dreamland rink Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday nights. February
IA, Is and 16.
Seats will be sold at sherman, Clay
& Co.'s.
The band will visit Oakland and
Berkeley Tuesday, and in the afternoon

mento Wednesday evening at the Clunie

National portland cement company of
California and Hugh Center in suit

dent of Hilo, one of the Hawaiian

par value of 500 each. For these
stocks and bonds he paid s24,700, and
claims that he has been damaged

ANGERED AT CENTRAL"
TEARS OUT TELEPHONE
Court, However, Does Not Con
slider Offense as Burglary

Enraged because central would not
give a number, Edward Hansen and
Roy Hampton, two young men, tore out
the telephone apparatus in a McAllister
street saloon and threw it bodily out
side. This resulted in a charge of
burglary being preferred against them,
and the case came up yesterday in
Judge Dunne'S court to be set. The
attorney for the telephone company
stated that as the young men were
drunk and did not steal anything it
was not asked that they be tried for
burglary. Judge Dunno continued the
case a month, and intimated that If at
that time the damage had been made
good the charge would be dropped.
The district attorney agreed to this.
