BAND PLAYS NO LONGER
Democratic National Commit.
tee Decides to Save
$500 a Day.

BALTIMORE. July 1--WE are not
here for the entertainment Of the pub
lic," said Chairman Norman e. Mack
yesterday, in explanation Of the alb
sence of the band which had been heard
in all former sessions Of the convention.
for the band costs $500 a day, and
there is no need now for anything else
but balloting."
An impression had gotten abroad that
the band was engaged by contract for
only five days, the conclusion having
been drawn. therefore, that the must
clans could not be persuaded to work
longer. But Mr.. Mack stated in answer
to an inquiry in regard to this question
that the band was engaged by the day."
and that there had been no demand upon
the part OF the delegates for continuing
the music this week
Expense Thought Useless.
While the band had been enjoyed by
delegates and alternates alike, the in
creased cost Of running the convention
caused by employing the band was
thought useless. and Chairman Mack's de-
cision was adhered to without protest.
The band played principally when there
We're demonstrations in the interest OF
some candidate. the button being pressed
from the chairman's stand whenever 1t
was desired that the band should play.
In some cases the band was heard above
the noise and hub hlb Of the crowd, but
in others 1t was almost impossible to
hear 1t.
Occasionally Chairman James ordered
the band to play while the vote was be-
ing counted by the tellers, but ordinarily
there was very little for the musicians to
do.
Down among the delegates there was
NOT much difference Of opinion about the
the north were just as enthusiastic over
"Dlxie" as were those from tho south,
and the same could be said Of their at
titude toward Maryland. Ny Mary

REPLIES TO ATTACKS
Bryan Refers to Yesterdays
Banner Incident.
STANDS BY CLARK EULOGY
Unwilling to Withdraw Compliments
Paid Speaker-Perhaps Shook
Hands With Murphy.
STANDS BY CLARK EULOGY

BALTIMORE, July 2.-Pausing for an
instant in his hurry to get to the conven-
ton hall last night, William ]. Bryan
answered warmly some of the attacks
made upon him during the day.
Regarding the banner displayed In the
convention hall in the afternoon, on which
appeared a quotation from a speech
which Mr.. Bryan was supposed to have
made in regard to Speaker Clark two
years ago, the Nebraskan voiced the SEN
timents which the chairman would not
allow him to do in the convention. The
quotation on the banner read:
Il have known Champ Clark for eight
cen years. He Is absolutely incorruptible
and his life Is above reproach. Never in
all these years have I known him to be
upon but one side Of the question, and
that was the side that represented the
people,
Speaking Of this, Mr.. Bryan said:
No Charges Against Clark.
LAS to the quotation which was brought
into the hall this afternoon. 1 take it for
granted that the quotation is accurate.
have said things fully as complimentary
as those quoted, and I am not willing to
withdraw anything 1 have said about Mr.
Clark's record.
Il have made no charges against him.
except upon his own admission, that he
took no part in the Craftsmanship fight.
l say he should have taken part.
If there's a difference between Judge
Parker's brand of democracy and mine
then we have had sixteen years of dis
cussion for nothing.
If there is a difference, Mr.. Clark
ought to have taken the progressive side,
or, not having taken that side. ought not
to complain of criticism from those who
temporary chairman.
1.-The other point is as to the acceptance
OF support from the Murphy delegation.
In his statement this morning Mr.. Clark
said:
L know OF no reason why I should
insult the ninety New York delegates by
to accept their votes
In that statement he puts Mr.. Muir
phys delegation on the same footing as
other delegations, and he must stand or
fall by the correctness Of his judgment.
I believe we cannot afford to nominate
candidate with the aid of Mr.. Murphy'S
delegation. Under the unit rule he (Mur-
phy) controls it, and l believe the preda-
must take the responsibility for his deci-
sion in this matter, and l will take the
responsibility for mine"
May Have Taken Murphy's Hand.
Mr.. Bryan was asked to comment upon
a photograph of himself shaking hands
with Murphy at Lincoln four years ago.
which appeared in the New York Ameri-
can yesterday. Copies Of the paper
were given away free by the thousand
in the convention hall and about the
streets and hotels. Without hesitation
Mr.. Bryan replied:

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-03-29

during the entire evening, while there was no speaking, the hall resounded to songs, old and new. the words of which had been provided in pamphlet form by the committee in lieu of a menu card. The idea was novel and also very satisfactory. The songs were parodied to fit the occasion and some of the results were decidedly humorous:
 My name is Will Bristol and I hail
 from Judson Place,
 I'm selling postage stamps to help
 along
 And if you want to help me just
 mail your letters here. ''I'm selling postage stamps to help along"
 This parody of Johnny Johnson at the expense of Postmaster Bristol brought down the house. Others were equally humorous
 The Water company of Bridgeport furnished the menu, served by ten colored waitresses who gave perfect
 service. No intoxicants were served and the stein song was rendered with ice water as an accompaniment. Wallace A. Smith, secretary of the
 Bridgeport Board of Trade was a guest and represented the Bridgeport organization.
 The affair was over at 10 o'clock and the guests and a number of the members of the board adjourned to the Cupheag club where the items omit- ted from the menu were supplied. i The handsome new bungalow of Mrs. w. F. Skelly in Hamilton Park was totally destroyed by fire, last night, with it's contents, including $20O in cash. The loss is estimated at $5,OOO, insurance $3,5OO. No telephone was convenient, so that the alarm did not reach the fire department early, and muddy roads delayed the arrival of the chemical engine. The fire had it's origin in back of the kitchen range, | at 6:30 D. m

first time in the history of Dona Ana

the publication of a list of the delin-
Quent taxpayers and the property will

taxes IS an annual occurrence in most
states, and with the exception of few
counties in New Mexico. the rule has
been applied in this state as well. Dona
Ana county. however. had several thou
sand dollars back taxes due, some run
ming back as far as 20 years. and these
taxes and accrued penalties amount TO
a large amount.
Advertising the delinQuents has al
ready been productive of good results
and a great increase in the revenues of
the county viii come from this source.
Up to the first of the month the treas
urer's office reports collections of more
than S14,700 in back taxes and already
the collections for 1911 taxes amount
to s9,467, this amount being paid up
