Ten years ago the Native Brass BAND
oil this town began its upward march.
until TODAY it has developed into q mus
cal organization Of worth in tn commu
nifty. Ii must be remembered that the
Band has changed members all through
these years, some OF its members are
now in the United States, while others
are still here, but in some other 0rQani
zation. AS we write this short history
Of the Christiansted Native Brass Band,
we cannot forget its Manager, the late
Mr.. Frank A. Cruise, who Struggled with
this Band through the first three years
Of its existence, and succeeded in keep
ing it alive.
The Band was then turned over to
Mr.. Fred. G. Jackson. Jr., the present
bandmaster, and together with Mr.. Cruise
made redoubled efforts to steer through
the sea Of difficulties confronting them.
, 1919-05-15

We are informed that Messrs. Folmer
Andersen and G. B. Fleming were cleo
ted on Saturday last as members of the
Colonial Council representing the Coun-
try District Of Frederiksted, and are
further advised that the Government
has appointed Messrs. d. S. Armstrong,
X. Henderson, and F. Lunney in place
of recently retired appointed members
Leevy, McFarlane and nretto. In St.
Thomas the appointed members are DR..
Knud-Hansen and Mr.. Carl A. Thfaen.
In view of the hot opposition which Mr..
Tharn experienced at the bye-election
in 1918, it must be very gratifying to
himself and party TO note the fact that
he has been selected by the Government
to fill the seat Of an appointed member,
and believing that Mr.. Thraen will prove

quite inadequate TO supply the at present
very necessary pieces OF Instruments and
that failure to renew these will eventual
ly drive the Band out Of existence. in no
very distant time.
When we consider he Native Brass
Band in all its struggles, those connect
ed with the rise and fall' OF the en-.
BIB. and other band politics know this
better than we dol and difficulties time
in and time out training young members,
providing itself with music, practise
house, fixtures, lamps and oil etc. and
above all giving public entertainments
and taking part on every occasion Of pri-
vate and official nature especially, We
wonder at their existence and success,
and ponder at our ingra5itude to the
youngmeD. And what seems to make
this more glazing is that our Colonial
Council Members have never even cared
20 throw an appro ing look on the efforts
OF these young natives in the way Of
trying to get a little finarciat assistance
for them. THE BAND NEEDS HELP.
Council Members now is your chance
to show your appreciation OF cur young

Are the Days When Ne1U Fashions Are Coming in Continually
High Winds Mean High
Tides on the Gulf
of Mexico

Yesterday fOcks of half hundred
wild ducks were caught in many places in
the heavy surf, swept to the shore and
drawn back by the rapid rush of. the sea,
to be again tossed in and out helplessly
until relieved by lower tides or lost from
sight.
The high tides of city taxes lay hard
ships on owners of real estate and make it
difficult, in many instances, to sell proper
ties for as much as the assessors mark
them.
. The high tides of living expenses are
difficult to overcome, but they were cheer
fully borne because we got something for
them in the winning of the peace that we
are now enjoying.
Whenever and wherever we can re.
duce the prices of our goods without
reducing the quality and usefulness of
the articles, we will do so instantly.

Even had tickets been sold to any one
or for any price the act would not have

had no face value and were not sold but

BURLESON'S WIRE -
RATE POWER UPHELD
Louisiana Supreme Court Sus-
tains Federal Contentious.
Special Despatch to THE suN


WASHINGTON, March 4.-The powers
of the Postmaster General to fix intra-
state wire rates under the wire control
act were upheld by the Supreme Court
of Louisiana in a decision handed down
in n test case to-day The Post Once
Department was informed by wire that,
all of the contentious on which the Cow
eminent relied were upheld. ~
The court refused an injunction asked
against the Postmaster-G General on the
following grounds: e.
First, that the United States is
party in interest and cannot be sued
without it's consent.
Second. that the President under
his powers as Commander In Chief
took over the property as a war
measure and the courts cannot in
terfere with his control
Third, that the fixing of rates was
an act Of discretion, not a ministerial
act.
Fourth. that the Constitution Of
Louisiana creating the Railroad
Commission gave II no authority or
control over the operation of a utility
controlled and operated by the Gov 4,
eminent.
State utility commissions have relied
on the proposition that the police powers
OF the State were preserved in the Fed
eral law. The Post Office Department
states that the decision squarely dis
poses Of this point.
