CADETS TO PARADE next WEEK
HIGH SCHOOL MILITARY Or
CARNATIONS WILL MARCH.
Plans Made for Philippine Constab.
ulary Band to Head the Column.
Question of Pay.

1t is proba BILE that the parade of Wash
ington High School Cadets. headed by the
Philippine Constabulary Band, will take
place next Wednesday or Thursday. Both
the regiment of cadets and the battalion
of colored cadets will be in the column.
Capt. James +. Oyster president of the
board of education. will definitely fix the
day after conference with Mr.. Sellner,
manager of the Filipino band. and the
public school officials. The arrangements
are being made by Percy NJ. Hughes. as
sistant superintendent Of schools. under
the direction of Capt. Oyster.
Mr.. Hughes has called the attention of
Capt Oyster to the fact that the Easter
vacation of the schools will begin next
Friday and continue through the follow
ing week. 1t will therefore be necessary
to fix the date of the proposed turnout be-
fore the vacation.
AS some question was raised about
financing the parade. it was stated today
the High School cadets raised nearly $500
of the sum necessary 10 secure the SefV-
ices of the band for the inaugural parade
and Capt. Oyster made up the difference.
increasing the amount to 500. The band
was secured nearly two weeks before
March 4, and. of course, 1t could not be
foreseen that blizzard like weather would
spoil the plans of the lads. The service
of the Constabulary Band for the cadets
was secured through the War Depart
ment, notwithstanding the band was of
fered higher rates by other ORGANIZATIONS
Regarded as Business Transaction.
The band reported for duty Inaugural
ton day and marched in the pageant, but
the cadets had been called off because of
the weather. 1t was business transac-
ton, and is SO regarded by the school
authorities.
The band was not ordered to the United
States but came with permission as an
independent organization to give concerts
in the hope of making some money, or at
least to pay the expenses of the tour.
The money raised by the high school
boys was turned over to the insular bu-
reau of the War Department to meet GER
tain expenses of transportation. etc, con-
nected with the visit to this city.
Mr. Sellner manager of the band. will
call on Capt Oyster probably this after
noon and ascertain his wishes regarding
the proposed parade of the cadets. Mr..
Sellner said that in view of the peculiar
circumst anceS of the case the band
would offer its services gratuitously for
the parade, if the cadets decide to have
one while the band is in this city. Capt.
Loving the leader of the band, is in New
York awaiting repairs to several of the
Instruments without which the band can
do nothing. He is expected to arrive here
with the instruments by Monday morn
ing Capt. Loving is a graduate of the
Nj Street High School. and is personally
interested in having the band play for
the local cadets.
