LIVELY FUNERAL MUSIC
PROPER, OFFICERS SAY
No Disrespect to Memory of Vene-
zuelan Minister Shown by
Marine Band.

Criticism of the animated music played
by the Marine Band in the honorary
escort of the funeral Of the Venezuelan
minister from st. Matthews Church to
the navy yard Tuesday last is explained
away by army and navy officers familiar
with the etiquette of such occasions. The
spriShtly character of the music played
by the band as the cortege moved along
Pennsylvania avenue misled many hear
ers concerning the character of the pro-
cession. Others expressed the opinion
that the marching strains were out of
keeping with the solemnity of the oc-
casion.
Army and navy officials who have made
a study of the proprieties said this is
quite customary. They pointed out that
when the course to be Travelled is a long
one, as in the recent instance, 1t is Gus
tomary to play a dirge as the cortege
leaves the church where the funeral
services have been held. but that the
music is livened up as the procession
makes its way so as to permit quicker
contamination of the journey. These Of
ficers emphasized the fact that 1t was
impractical to march a distance of two
or three miles to the slow strains Of
dirge music. But 1t always is customary
TO resume the dirges as the cortege nears
the place of interment or of transship-
ment

WANDERLUSTERS WILL

Hope to Hit the Trail for Moonlight
Hike II Weather

washington's community wander

make a moonlight hike The hike an
nounced for last evening he'd to De
postponed on account Of the inclement
weather. The same directions that were
given for last evening will hold good
for this evening If the weather be good.
These directions are:
Meet promptly at 8 o'clock at the END
of the Mount Pleasant car line, Mount
Pleasant street and Park road. Be
dressed in old clothes and rough shoes.
The mixers have had Indictment weather
lately for their outings, but tnasmuch
as 1t has rained nearly every day, they
say they do not feel that the weather
man has his eye on them especially.
Next Sundays Route.
Already the hike for next Sunday is
being planned. g. A. Gambs, who has
been the leader on former expeditions,
is again to be the leader Sunday after
noon. He promises a trail that will be
we'll provided with water. even II it
doesn't rain"
The route this Sunday Is to be from
Chain bridge to Cherrydale Va Full
details Of this outing will be announced
later.
1--WE should worry about the rain"
said one hiker today. One can't ex-
pect to get all sunshine in this life, and
the wanderlusters do not expect to have
all sunshine on their trails.
Tramps Are Beneficial.
I'VE had a good time Sunday, de-
spite the heavy rain. I do not be-
lieve there Is person who has been
these trips, particularly those
of US who have not walked regularly
before. who has not been greatly bene-
flied.
Il do not believe any exercise is
more generally beneficial than is walk
ing. Did you ever notice that q man
who has spent large part of his time
walking in the open Is always straight !?
Probobly that is why the Indians were
so straight.
But, even leaving out the actual
health benefits of the trip. the enjoy
ment We get alone makes 1t worth
while to hit the trail"

Her Personal Bonds,

guilty to a charge of bigamy recently,
appeared for sentence today before JUS
tice Gould in Criminal Court No l.

leased the woman on her personal bonds.

was free to remarry because her hus-
band had been sent to the penitentiary
for five years. The court expressed his
surprise that bad legal advice should
come from Maryland, his native state,
but could not see how he could make

A conviction Of felony is a ground for
