Shall! Marine Band Play Only
at Potomac Park Is Problem.
PAID FOR EXTRA WORK
Other Organizations May Be Heard
at Capitol and White House.
QUESTION RAISED BY WOODS
Practice Kept Up for Over Half
Century May Be Changed If
President So Decides.

Shall the usual summer concerts of the
Marine Band in the Capitol grounds ev-
cry Wednesday afternoon, and at the
White House grounds Saturday after
moons, be abandoned this year, in order
that the band may be permitted to play
on the new driveway in Potomac Park
on those days OF each week?
Or shall the old custom be continued
and the Engineer Band at Washington
barracks, the Cavalry Band at Fort Myer
or some other government band be de-
tailed to give the semi-weekly concerts
on Potomac drive?
These questions have been submitted to
the President as the final authority in
the premises.
The regular summer series of public
concerts begins in June. Col. Cosby,
officer in charge of public buildings and
grounds, is now preparing a tentative
schedule, subject to the approval of the
President.
Heretofore the Marine Band has played
at the Capitol Wednesdays and at the
White House Saturdays. The Engineer
Band and the Cavalry Band have played
alternately in other public parks Mon
days, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
Spring Concerts Experimental.
The concerts already given this year
on Potomac drive by the Marine Band
and the Philippine Constabulary Band
were in addition to the regular summer
concerts. They were in the nature Of ex-
periments.
Superintendent Woods Of the Capitol
building and grounds, has already raised
the question as to whether the Marine
Band will play as usual at the Capitol
SypnSI 6G h ovNr,1fn -, ft,n
Secretary of the Navy for information, as
certain necessary preparations were in
volved, and the time is near at hand.
His letter was referred to Gen. Elliot,
commandant of the Marine Corps. That
official returned it with a recommenda-
tion that the band play at the Capitol
every Wednesday during the summer as
usual, provided it is not decided that the
band will play on the Potomac drive on
those days.
He pointed out that the band is allowed
extra compensation for extra services at
the Capitol and at the Presidents house.
Custom Began in Sos.
Away back in 1852, when the Marine
Band began playing in the Capitol
grounds Wednesday afternoons and in
the White House grounds Saturday after
Moons, Congress provided that the mem
bers should have extra compensation The
system has continued without Interrupt
ton ever since.
The statute was enacted August 5. 1854
and is contained in section 1913 of the
Revised Statutes. 1t is as follows:
THE marines who compose the corps of
musicians known as the Marine Band
shall be entitled to receive at the rate of
81 a month each, in addition to their reg
ular pay as non-commissioned officers,
musicians or privates OF the Marine
Corps, so long as they shall perform, by
order of the Secretary. OF the Navy or
other superior officer, on the Capitol
grounds or the Presidents grounds"

a few days ago. the damage amounting to
about 100000.
Only those who know the pride of the
Japanese in their temples can conceive
the effect Of this irreparable loss on the
people. The Zojoji Temple. next to the
great temples at Ntkko, was probably
the most famous and popular as show
temple in Japan.
Its wonderful red gates will be remem-
bered by thousands of tourists, and,
fortunately, those were saved from the
flames. but inside the temple compound
there only remains a lonely Daibutsu of
bronze, surrounded by piles of wreckage
and embowered amid the blackened
branches of an overhanging cryptomoria.
4 few other gigantic pieces of bronze
stand out lonely amid the mass of ashes,
all that is left of some of the wonder
full art treasures that were to be found in
the far east
The fire was set by beggar who was
living in a hole underneath the floor of
the temple. The man was cold and start
ed little blaze with a newspaper and a
few sticks for warmth.
