GUN FACTORY MUSICIANS

Drop Out of Line

Director Moody rot only denies the
charges of the union officers. but goes
into the history of relations between
the union and the gun factory OTganiza-
tlOn. He SAYS.
The Naval Gun Factory Band is not
an unfair organization. On the con
traTy. It Is composed Of honorable young
men. and has always dealt fairly with
the public. II is unwilling. however.
20 join the Musicians Union, which de-
mics any one the privilege OF conducting
reheorsals or of giving free open air
concerts. as has been the bands custom.
In view of the fact that these union
bands have marched in line with our
band in the past, and viii probably
do so again. IL is incQnceiveable why
they should select this important re-
Hgious demonstration, with the eyes
of the whole world upon US, as a At
occasion TO display their petty
Jealousy"

There is a bare possibility that our

remain visible after that for two or
three weeks its brightness viii steadily

that the light will only be twice as

There Is even considerable specula-
tion as to just when the earth did pass
through the train Some scientists
maintain that IT did so Tuesday night,
others on Wednesday evening, while
still others say that the comet has no
train at all
Astronomers at the Naval Observa-

through the train was made Wednes-
day evening, between 1870 and 11:2O

year in the penitentiary.

"Mr. Madison. In other words,
Kinkaid would have had a right
to buy an assignment OF claim

and would then have right to

part of Mr.. Kipkaid or Mr.. Ball

you know of. If there was, tell

ferences made by L. II. Gravis
in his testimony to Representa-

McLachlan, of California, as
coal claimants we're discussed in

claim is acknowledged to be valid,
having been taken up under the
new law, while the Cunningham
claims are under the old law.
CLAWS swears there was moth
ing wrong on the part of Con-
gresham Kinkaid in the pur-
chase of the Alaska Coal Claim.
In the Ballinger-Pinc hot in
vestigation the essential part of
the testimony of Gravis as to the
purchase of a coal claim by Con-
gressman Kinkaid is as follows:
"Mr. Denby. That was when
Mr.. Ballinger was practicing law
in Scatter"
"Mr. CLAWS. Yes, sir"
"Mr. Madison. What was the
character of the employment
that is, what was he employed to
do? You stated it generally but
now state it more particul arly."
"Mr. Gavls. He (Ballinger)
was employed to examine some
papers, l think, preparatory tc
buying out a coal claim in the
Green group of claims, and he
(Kinkaid) was buying his inter.
est out in that claim, and was
then going to put his claim with
others in a consolidation, under
the act of May %, 1905"
