Baltimore Police to
Squelch Bands Today

BALTIMORE. June 23.-Each delega-
ton to the national convention that ar
rived in town this morning. were re-
quested not to play any band music
while coming from the station to their
various headquarters. A patrolman
will be stationed at each railroad and
steamboat terminus this afternoon and
as the delegations make ready to leave
the steamboat or train the officer will
hunt up the man in charge of the party
and after informing him of the law on
the subject, which prohibits the play
ing of music on the Sabbath, will re-
quest him not to strike up the band
which accompanies them.
Such was the decision reached by the
board of police commissioners yester-
day afternoon following a lengthy con-
ference. II after the request mas been
made, however, the delegation insists
that 1t must proceed to the strains of
martial music, 1t Is not probable that
any arrests will be made
While II was first intended to greet
all delegations with a band supplied
by the city, the officials of the Lord s
Day Alliance have entered a protes,
and Mayer Preston gave them his
promise that he would give no permits
for parades or bands on the street on
the Sabbath. This action threw the
matter up to the police department,
with the above results.

BALTIMORE, Md, June 23.-Rumors
few fast around town today to the ef-
feet a break can be looked for at any
minute in the ranks of the Clark fol-
lowers, who, UP to this time, have been
lined up with the conservatives behind
Judge Alton B. Parker.
The threatened desertion of the Clark
men has created pandemonium in the
ranks of the Parker contingent headed
by Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many Hall.
A report was current about the Bel
vedere today to the effect that United
States Senator VIM. J. Stone. of Mis-
souri,, one of the Clark leaders, who
all along has been advising against an
open break over the question of tenn
porary organization had given definite
orders to the Clark people both in the
national committee and in the conven-
tion they must stand with Bryan.
When seen later at the Emerson,
where he had been in continuous con-
ference with Clark leaders, Senator
Stone limited himself to the following
indefinite statement:
II have not advised anybody to line
up with Mr.. Bryan to date"

not sec why Mr.. Bryan should oppose
the choice of Judge Parker.
Judge Parker 10y ally supported Mr.

controversy over this situation is bad

timore.
He came to boom Underwood Per-
haps no national political figure Is more
loved by constituents and hated by op-
ponents than the Mississippian. This is
due. In large part, to the fact that he
does not hesitate to say what he thinks
Than Senator Vardaman william Jcn-
nings Bryan has no closer friend or
warmer admirer.
Il deem 1t most unfortunate" he said.
that the subcommittee OF the national
committee saw At to select a man like
Judge Parker as temporary chairman.
They could have chosen 20 many men
satisfactory to all factions, that II is
a pity they picked one who promises 10
cause a row. This campaign Is to be
based largely on that plea. Why Is a
man who is not such chosen?
However. 1t doesn't make as much
difference as some think. The keynote
speech will not be OF such great inhu,
ence. The wav out of the matter Is tL
| select some progressive, like Bryan. foi
permanent chairman and things will ot

Leaving out of consideration for the
