WANT PATRIOTS 10 PLAY GRATIS Union Musicians Consent to Parade With En- listed Men. The board of directors of the Musicians’ Protective Union held a meeting yester- day to consider the question of allowing mcmbers of the organization to parade o the Fourth of July with non-union bandsmen of the National Guard. After some discussion the directors adopted a resolution that there would be no objection to the enlisted musicians be- ing in line of the parade, provided, how- ever, that the bands paraded ahead of their regiments. Sam Davis, secretary of the union, said that while the union was breaking one of its rules in walking in line with non- union men, he deemed the members too patriotic to interfere in any way with the stccess of the Fourth of July parade. Mr. Davis further sald that the Fourth was the day that the ' union musicians looked forward to fo reap a little benefit, and he did not see why, if the militia mu- sicians were so patriotically inclined; they should not be willing to get out and play for nothing. Davis was asked if there would be any objection to the bandsmen of the Guard being paid for their services out of the funds appropriated by the city for the celebration, but he declined to give an answer, and said that the matter of pay- ing the bandsmen was for the committee in_charge to decide. J. A. Vaughan, assistant secretary of the Fourth of July committee, stated that | matters were very much in the same con- dition as they were yesterday, except that he had received a report from the Musi- cians’ Union of the resolutions passed at tihelr afternoon session and that he had sent out a speclal call for the parade, finance and music committees to meet at 3 o'clock to-day at the California Hotel, an hour in advance of the regular meet- g, to see whether something could not be done to harmonize matters. Major W. A. Desborough said that he had resigned the chairmanship of the Fourth of July parade committee because of the way the National Guard was being treated. The major said he felt it was time for patriotic men to withdraw when trades unionism stepped in and attempted to in- terfere with the celebration of the great national holiday and practically dictate what shall or shall not be done. ) The major further stated that the mili- tia will parade by themselves on the Fourth and will take no part in the pians of the local committee, as a result of the refusal to pay non-union men in the regimental bands. The law provides that the Guard shall parade on the Fourth and on Decoration Day, but it does not prescribe when and where the parade shall take place. “I do not know if the National Guard will parade in this city or not on ' the TAKES HEa LIFE AT WIFE'S GRAVE Pasadena Lawyer Com- mits Suicide in a Cemetery. Fear of Insanity Impels Prom- inent Man to Self- |, Destruction. Special Dispatch to The Call. PASADENA, June 26.—Captain A. D. Yocum, prominent in G. A. R. circles and at the Los Angeles County bar, com- mitted suicide in a dramatic manner this morning in the Mountain View Cemetery. He was seen to enter the place and his { peculiar actions attractéd the attention of J. R. Giddings, superintendent of the cemetery, who watched him. Yocum went to the grave of his wife, | who dled about a year ago, and spreading ) a newspaper on the ground, knelt upon it { and remained several minufes, apparently tin prayer. Rising to his feet, he drew a | revolver, and placing the muzzle to his edr, fired, faling dead across his wife's grave. |~ Among his ‘effects was found a note in which he declared that recent sorrows and bereavement had crushed him utterly and that he was not capable of continu- ing the struggle. He feared insanity and an_asylum. Yocum was 70 yeass of age and attained the rank of captain in the Civil War. Later he studied law and was admitted to the bar. For many years he was a special agent of the Treasury Department at Omaha, Nebr. He came to Pasadena six vears ago and began the practice of law with the late William E. Arthur. He lost the savings of a lifetime in an unfortu- nate land investment within the last year. SECRETARY ROOT WILL REVIEW THE FINDINGS Record of the Court Martial Proceed- ings in the Waller Case Reaches ‘Washington. ‘WASHINGTON, June 26.—The record of the court martlal proceedings in the case of Major L. W. T. Waller of the marine corps, who was acquitted of the charge of illegally killing Filipino prisoners, was re- celved at the War Department to-day. It will be considered by Secretary Root in connection with the review of the testi- {mony and findings of the court martial tin the case of Brigadler General J. H. /| Smith. The charges upon which both the ofticers named were tried arose out of the same transactions in the conduct of the Samar campaign. The Waller case was { closed with the approval of the action of | the court martial which acquitted him, | but the Smith case is still subject to the jaction of the President. Judge Advocate | General Davis is now preparing the case | for his action. It is generally under- i stood that the court found that the charges against General Smith were not | sustained and acquitted him. Owing to | the prominence of the case and the at- | tention it has received in Congress in the | debates on the Philippine bill, the action | of the President in the matter is awaited with more than ordinary interest. The impression prevails that he will improve the opportunity to express his views on the conduct of milltary affairs in the Phil- ippines.

Hays, formerly of Portland, and man- ager of the Nahinint mines at Alberni, was arrested this morning on a warrant sworn out by Captain John Irving of this city, charging him with obtaining $1000 under fulse pretenses. He was released on $2500 bail. ‘This afternoon a second war- rant was issued by Captain Irving, charg- ing Mays with obtaining $24,000 under false pretenses. The allegation is that Colonel Hays ob- tained the money from Captain Irving to urchase shares in the Nahinint mine, eld by certain Portland capltalists for Captain Irving, and that he converted the money to his own use.
