BLOCKED U. 8. BAND
 FROM COMING HERE
Opposition of Tubhs Band Shut Fort Wright Musicians Out of Odd Fell lows Parade.

Tubbs' band succeeded in yielding enough influence to block the efforts of the Norwich Odd Fellows to have the Eleventh United States band from Fort Wright here as an attraction for their memorial day parade on Sunday, but the opposition of the local band men did not develop into giving them the job at the head of the parade. Their part in the procession consisted in standing on the sidewalk and watching the New Britain Odd Eel lows band march by, furnishing the music for the l. o. o. F. men to step to.
 By hustling around at the last min ute. the local Odd Fellows secured the New Britain band. a union organiza- tion. and had them here on Sunday without letting anyone know where the music was to come from.
 According to the Odd Fellows the question of price competition did not enter into the question as they desired the military band as an attraction for the parade and exercises. and were go- ing to pay a bonus above the union rates to get the Fort Wright musi- clans here. They believe that the band from Fort Wright would be a greater attraction than any local or ganization and secured them for that reason, hiring them by contract made with the adjutant at the post.
 No official communication from TubbS band or the Musicians union was received by the Odd Fellows, but individual members of the band crit fcised the hiring of the Fort Wright musicians so that the Odd Fellows committee took 1t that they were go- ing to be forced to hire Tubbs' band or have none for their parade, as an individual member of the. band stated in conversation on the subject
 The influence of the local musicians was felt when last Thursday a letter from the Fort Wright adjutant advised the Odd Fellows committee that while sider 1t would be advisable for the Fort Wright band to come here.
 The Odd Fellows learned that dele gation of Norwich bandmen or musi- clans had visited Congressman Mahan at New London and that his Influence at Washington had resulted in the ac- tion of the officer at Fort Wright, who declined to carry out the contract he had made with the Norwich men.
 When the Odd Fellows found that the band for their parade had been cut out from under them at the last minute, they tried to get other bands, but found that bands in Willimantic, and Baltic, had been warned to keep away from Norwich.
 Stonington lodge intended to come with band too. and band rehearsal was called for one night last week, but the band leader was missing, so that there could be no rehearsal and no band to come with the lodge. To the Odd Fellows this looks like another indication of the hostile influences which have been working against them.

NOTABLE ExEMPLIFIcATloN OF THIRD DEGREE.
White Cross Counsel Had Largest
 Class Ever Assembled Here.

Sunday was an epoch making day for the members of White Cross coun- cil, Nc. 12, Knights of Columbus, and from early afternoon until well into the evening it's officers had day of un- ceaSfng activity. There were knights here from every city and town in east ern Connecticut and a large contingent of members of the order attended from Massachusetts, coming by automobile, train and trolley from Southbridge, Webster and Worcester, It was the largest complication ever held in Norwich. the class of candidates num- berins, thirty,
 The work was under the direction of District Deputy M J. Sullivan of New Lonodn, who is in charge Of the. tentb Connecticut district. but the degree was exera plified by District Deputy degree team. one of the best known and most capable degree corps in New England. Owing to the great interest taken in the event the local council was obliged to secure the Auditorium for the meeting, and that spacious hall was taxed to it's capacity by the mem ebrs of the order who came to witness the exeTnplifcation. Seated on the stage, besides the local officers, were many state officials of the order as we'll as prominent knights from Massa- chuSettS.
 IL was the consensus or OQ1n1On that it was one of the best exemplificationS of the major degree of the order ever given in Norwich, and the degree team came in for a generous share of praise at the conclusion of the exercises. The local committee that made the ar arrangements for the exercises consisted of Grand Knight E. I. Burke Henry D. Buckley. c. V. James and Dr. T. A. Crowley. During their stay in Norwich the degree team and those who accom- anied them were hositably entertain ed by. the local council at the Waure- gan house.
 White Cross council is one of the most progressive and fastest growing councils in the staet today, and if the interest which is at present manifested continues, it will soon be one of the l largest and most Influential councils in Connecticut.
