Nearly $4,000 Of These Pets En-

pets singing their way into American

the biological survey. OF the remaining
loo. 600 birds, almost 10000 were non
game birds, while the rest were game

MUSIC IN PUBLIC PARKS
FOUR CONCERTS EACH WEEK
THE COMING SUMMER.
Absence of One Band Curtails Num-
ber-Schedule Being Prepared
by Col. Cosby.

The concerts in the public parks will be-
gin next week and continue until the LIST
OF october. Last year concerts were held
every day in the week but Sunday This
year, however, there will be only four
concerts a week during a portion of the
summer instead of six. The reduced
| number of concerts this year is due to the
fact that the United States Cavalry Band
at Fort Myer, Va, has >been ordered to
attend the joint encampment of regulars
and miitiamen at Gettysburg, Pa, from
| June 20 to August 20, and will not be
available for the public concerts in this
city during that period. With that i'm
| portant exception the schedule of con-
certs will be practically the same as that
of last year. The concerts in Potomac
| Park will be discontinued after this week.
Preparation of Schedule.
Col. Cosby, the engineer officer in charge
of public buildings and grounds, is now
preparing the schedule for the coming sea-
| son and will make it public in few days.
In conversation with a Star reporter,
he stated that these concerts are de-
signed to meet the convenience of the
nu5er ed Of the aRa
| material and facilities In the first
place, there are but three government
| bands available for the concerts. These
at Fort Myer and the Engineer Band
at Washington barracks. 1nasmuch as
| the performances are in the nature or
extra services. it is not deemed fair to
exact from each band more than two
| concerts a week. That plan provides
for a concert every afternoon. except
Sunday. 1t cannot be fully executed
cause Of the withdrawal of the Cavalry
Band for military duty elsewhere for
two months.
In accordance with custom. the Marine
Band will play at the. CAPITOL grounds
Wednesdays. and at the White House
grounds Saturdays. On the other days
of the week. so far as possible. the
in the following named parks: Judiciary
Park. the Smithsonian grounds. FRANK
lin Park. Iowa Circle, Dupont Circle
Washington Circle. Garfield Park. Lin
Some Applicants Denied.
Applications have been received by
Col. Cosby to have concerts In other
places, but he says he has been COM
PEELED to deny them. Among the places
suggested are Petworth, Takoma. the
Western High School and the play
grounds in Georgetown and at Rose
dale Col. Cosby says it is a matter of
regret to him that he cannot comply
with these requests, but he does not
see how it can be done without detrl-
ment to the present schedule.
1T is the endeayor of this office,
said Col. Cosby, Ito have the concerts
given in public parks on car lines with
in easy reach of the center or the CITY,
in the midst of thickly settled areas. so
that they may give pleasure to as many
people as possible. 1t has not been
deemed wise or practicable to extend
the privileges to the outlying suburbs
or to parks not easily accessible. He
added that the concerts are given eX-
clusively in parks within the jurisdic-
ton of the national government. and
that the city Fairgrounds and the
Western High School Park do not come
within that category.

Summary fixing OF the height of

when the City Council Monday night
seemed on the verge of serious
wrangle by the diplomacy of Alder
man James II. Lawley. Alderman

make report for either 200 or 260
feet within sixty days. Afterward an
ordinance was passed that the height
limit be 260 feet until that time.

Chicago Is now 227 gallons per day,
