NEUTRALITY BREACH FEARED.
Removal Of Restrictions on Ger
man Hands being investigated.

Commissioner Of Licenses George II
Bell is investigating what he suspects is
"A breach OF neutrality on the part Of
the Board of Aldermen, by which Ger.
man bands are permitted to play al all
hours and in all places. though Italian
hand organ grinders are restricted 10 tho
hours between . A., NJ. and 6 r.. NJ.
The COMMISSIONS learned of this st,te
of affairs recently when he was travel
ling up Firth avenue in his car at . p. NJ.
He found one band playing in front 90
Andrew Carnegle's home at Ninety-hrst
street and two others in different places.
On inquiry he learned that when Brook
Ign and New York We're consolidated tbo
Brooklyn law affecting itinerant musl-
clans was permitted to remain In tho
Brooklyn code. Then he learned that
this Brooklyn ordinance had been jncor.
porated in the Greater New York code.
Since April 80, when the ordinance
was approved, there has been n great
increase in the number of applications
for band licenses, There have been III
issued at $40 each since that date, hfty-
eight of which We're in Manhattan.
COMMISSIONS Bell has received many
complaints about the German musicians
since the restrictions were removed. He
intends to see IL he can induce the Alder.
men to rescind their action.

ceipts. Hallettsville, Tex. received
thlrty-fve bales on August s. on that

New Orleans wired that numerous re-
ports of good rains, with indications of
more. had been received from Texas.
Honey Grove. in the northeastern part of
the State. wired that a fine general rain
had fallen all through that section and

ownership until It was too late to get
out. The directors of the company who
had large holdings unloaded them. ac-
