After Dark
There's No Telling the Meaning,
But, Things Happen to Musicians
By Harry Macarthur

One OF, them was Jack Wyatt, the
Casino Royals bandleader, who felt
deserted by justice when he was
halted by man on a motorcycle
in the early hours and hauled off
to the station house to face a
speeding charge. The other for
whom life suddenly became unjust
was the desk sergeant who told Mr..
Wyatt there would be small mat
ter of $40 collateral Mr.. Wyatt
handed over the $l0-in dimes He'd
just beaten a one -armed bandit at
its own game and the 100 dimes
were part of the jackpot.
Item: Stan Jones has just about
decided that misfortune is here to
stay. Mr.. Jones Is one of the three
Neptunaires at the Neptune Room
and he also is a man to whom
things keep happening lately. Not
long ago, Stan was enlivening a
rumba with his Misunderstanding,
got so enthusiastic that he shook
his rhythmic rattle into flying
pieces. A few nights later his ac-
Gordon almost got away from him
and took off on its own when he
broke the strap on that. And
few nights after that he sat down
at the celeste, but he did not laugh
when he began to play. He broke
of two black keys with one blow.
Stan hasn't given up music, but he
has thought about it.
Item: One of the things Jack
Schafer wonders every now and
then is what in the world ever
happened to that trombone player.
When he was but lad in Cations
vile, Md, the Nightingale'S trum-
pet-playing bandleader was a mem
ber of a brass quartet, which had
been formed by his father, also a
trumpet player. The group was
quite in demand for various social
functions and was heard at all the
better funerals. At one of these, in
a snow-covered cemetery, arrange
mentS were made for each member
of the quartet to go of in a diff
ferent direction and, at the proper
time, play a family heard Taps.
Came of fine, except that the from
bone player wandered too far and
couldn't be heard. AS a matter OF
fact, according to Mr.. Schafer. he

Three items have come to our
attention today which seem to be
pieces of the same jig-saw puzzle
We are not sure how they mt to-
gether or why, but they may turn
out to be of some use to you II
ever you become involved in de-
bate over whether or not musicians
are just like people. They probably
will support either side of the
argument.

the Washington Bridge Co. They in
cluded Daniel Carroll of Duddington
president; George Blagden, Frederick
May, Robert Young and William Har-
per. A charter was granted this COM
pany by Congress February S, 1908
There was no delay in building this
structure, for we find that the bridge
was opened for public use little more
than II months after the work was
begun, although it was not entirely fin
ished for some time afterward.
Opening of the bridge marked a big
day for Washington, and the event
which occurred on May II, 1909, was
even celebrated by President James
Madison, who was the first to pass over
the bridge in his carriage on his way to
Alexandria, where he was entertained at
dinner by citizens of that city. The cost
of the bridge was around 100000, and
1t is said to have been we'll built. 1t was
a little over mile in length, with a
broad carriageWay and passages for
pedestrians on either side. Apparently,
up to this time, Maryland avenue was
not opened from First street west to the
river at Fourteenth street, and WASH
ington authorities made an appropria-
ton to open this thoroughfare.
Until the British came to Washington
In August, 1914, everything seems to
have gone on smoothly with the bridge.
Indeed, financially it paid 31a per
cent dividend at the end of the first
six months, and further dividend of
per cent was paid at the end of the
next six months.
Under normal conditions, the flow of
water past the site of the Long Bridge
was, and is, rather swift. During heavy
bridge here is very heavy. Twenty years
after the bridge was built, when the
ice was breaking up and the river was
swollen, the bridge was considerably
damaged by having not less than IA
gaps made in it. The company found
itself financially unable to repair the
damage, and Congress. by an act passed
July IA, 1882, purchased the right and
title to the bridge for $4,000. However,
upon examination of the damaged struc-
ture, it was deemed unwise to attempt to
repair or restore it, and Congress, on
June 80, 1884, appropriated $4,000 for
a new bridge, which was completed in
1885. On October l of that year. it was
formally opened by President Andrew
Jackson and his cabinet who walked
the one mile across it, returning in car
riages.
