NAVY BAND INQUIRY
STARTED BY BOARD
Officials Make It Clear That No
Charges Have Been Made.
Praise Benter.

Investigation Of the administration
Of the affairs of the United States
Navy Band is being made at the
Washington navy yard by a special
board OF officers composed OF Capt.
Yates Stirling, jr., president: Lieut..
Comdr. F. E. Whiting and Lieut.. John
Kennedy, according to Rear Admiral
B. F. Hutchinson, commandant.
Admiral Hutchinson said that no
charges had been made against any
one in the band, but that it had come
to his attention that there might be
some irregularities in its administra-
ton, and he decided to have a board
go into the matter to determine
whether there was anything wrong in
the operation Of the Navy's music or
ganization.
Admiral Hutchinson said that no
charges had been preferred against
Band Leader Charles Benter. Officials
are high in their praise of Benter in
building up this Navy organization,
and it was pointed out today that it
was known that he has spent much Of
his own money to put the organization
on the high standard that it has
reached. The board is holding it's in
vestigation in a secret session. Ad-
miral Hutchinson said that in view of
the fact that those who might appear
before the board might make some
baseless statements, it was decided not
to open the hearing because of the Ill
effect it might have on the organiza-
tion as a whole.

POLICE MAY HALT
CARSAT CROSSINGS
Street Railway Heads Agree
to Accept Proposed Plan
at BouIevardS.

Following a public hearing before
the Utilities Commission today, there
were indications that the question of
whether street cars should stop be-
fore crossing seven important boule-
ward intersections might be solved
by placing policemen at those corners
to direct all traffic.
Commissioner Fenning, who super
vises the Police Department, init
mated by questions he put to railway
officials that he is considering the de-
failing of policemen at the disputed
intersections as a means of disposing
of the problem.
At the same hearing the commits
sion considered the protest of the
Capital Traction Co. against the es-
tablishment of safety zones for
street car passengers by the painting
of white lines only. 1t developed at
the hearing. however, that officials
in the traffic directors office agree
with the Capital Traction Co. that
some satisfactory stanchion should be
placed at the edge of these painted

When Commissioner Fenning asked
the railway officials if they would be
satisfied to have policemen direct traf-
f1c at the seven intersections where
the companies object to giving the
right Of way to boulevard traffic the
official replied that such an arrange
ment would be satisfactory while Off

of the Washington Railway and Elec-

raised the point, however, that the

The commission will not decide what
is to be done until they have an

noon.

ROAD MOVING NORFOLK

Seaboard Air Line Changes to In.

By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
NORFOLK, Va, September 16.-Ar-
rangements are being made to move
the offices of the operating department
Of the Seaboard Air Line Railway
from Norfolk to Savannah, Ga, it be-
came known today.
At the offices of the Seaboard neither
Vice President M. H. Cahill nor c.
r. Capps could be reached, and no
other official would comment on the
rumors of the proposed change.
From other sources, however, it was
learned that the offices of the general
manager, superintendent of transpor-
tation, the chief engineer and the car
accounting department probably
would be included in the move to
Savannah. A move of this extent, it
was said, would mean that more than
125 employees in the Seaboard general
Offices here would have to move to
Savannah.
The object of the proposed move is
to obtain a more central location for
the offices involved, the only objection
to Norfolk being that it is too near
one end of the Seaboard system.
