Swift denial came yesterday from
Capt. w. Z. Reynolds, commandant OF
the Coast Guard, that politics figured
in the assignment of Captain Klinger
to duty on the Anroscoggin on the
Grand Banks OF Newfoundland.
Il do not know Congressman Mudd,
and nobody in the Republican party
or any other political organization
had anything to do with the orders
to Captain Klinger." he declared.
His assignment was in regular order

CONGRESSMAN Mudd is preparing a
statement at his home in La Plata

But why all this melancholy strife,
you ask?
The musicians and jazzmen don't

they are in il to stay.
The unfortunate musical jangle was
precipitated by the fling OF a $4,000

One jazz musician, after readlng
statement branding jazz as "unmiti-
gated noise" IL is said, gave vent 10
his anger by fiercely jazzing his Vio-
lin in his hall bedroom. So fiery was
his wrath that he broke his favnrits
bow while evolving a new jazz scale
Overcome by grief he resorted To
jolt of ginger ale and wood alcohol
to erase his woes from his mind. The
process was wonderfully successful.
Not only did he erase his woes; he
very nearly erased mis- mind. He Is
said to be recovering.
Another jazzer, so report goes,
seeking to relieve his overburdened
soul. took to footing a saxophone In
the confines of his home. The cat es-
capped through the kitchen transom,
but the dog perished miserably under
meath the parlor sofa, fifteen minutes
after the opening deluge OF sour notes
ended their misspent lives in his tor
tured ears.
But that wasn't the casualty. oh.
no! That was just the prelude. The
man was married, but he may not be
much longer. His wife vouches for
that.
Harold" shrieked the lady in
anguish shortly after the seance had
commenced, won't you please take
that noise outsider
"Gr-r-r-rw sweetly muttered the
jsxzer beneath his breath.
He then attacked his saxophone
more violently. with swelled cheeks,
swelling head, and popping eyes, he
evoked the very soul Of jazz. The
poor saxophone quivered in every
joint like a ship in a gale.
A fearfuiiy new Jazz scale tore
through the instruments tortured
muzzle, upsetting a pile of dinner
plates in the pantry As the crash of
china ware reverberated through the
house the musician was heard to
mutter, deep in to his soft collar,
"Fine. now I'm getting some real
music"
