THE MARINE BAND.

It's Leader SHOULD BE Made Commis-
stoned Omccr.
To the Editor OF 'The Etering Star:
After reaoins the testimony given at the
Fanciulli trial in The Star of Friday and
Saturday, we think the intelligent public
generally will s decide, despite what the
judgment of the court may be or what
the sentence, tRa: Prof Fanciulli was far
nearer the right than the wrong We be-
lieve there is clause in the army re gula-
tions relative to an officer using profane
language to subordinate: if not, there
certainly should be. The testimony thus
far would tend to give one the impress
sion that Lieut.. Magill at least did use
language not generally supposed to be
necessary in the giving Of an order Such
a small order, too!
If we remember Alright Prof. Fanciulli
was for number of years member of a
band in the Italian army. He certainly
had ample opportunity then to learn by
what music troops can best march Lieut.
Draper blames the ragged marching of the
marines on Decoration day to the music
Ihe writer while riding on the avenue cars
May 81 met them at 9th street returning
when the lieutenant, presum ably had di-
rect charge of the music. The marching
then was extremely ragged. We would
be inclined to look far beyond the poor
catspaw Of a band, even to the drill mas
ters, for the cause.
But to the point. Some time ago a bill
was introduced in Congress providing that
the leader of the Marine Band should be a
commissioned officer, first lieutenant
For some reason Secretary Herbert sub
stituted second for first lieutenant, and
with that change urged its passage.
What has become of that bill we do not
know. but that it was just and sensible
one cannot be denied. Consider first, that
the leader of the Marine Band has direct
command of fifty men-the size of the
average company commanded by a captain;
second, that he also has the instruction of
the musicians for all the war vessels:
third. that he is practically music directo
for the navy and not only leader of the
band; fourth that the band alone is just
double the regular regimental band, while
its leader ranks with that of the smaller
organization as a sergeant
1t could certainly work no injury to the
other commissioned officers to put shoulder
straps on Mr.. Fanciull as all who know
him personally will testify. The leader of
the crack band in the English army is a
member of the nobility, and, we believe,
has the rank of either first lieutenant or
a captain.
of the Marine Band. an organiza ion which
has been so long identified with the navy,
with Washington, with the entire Union;
the lovers of justice, common sense and a
broad-minded policy worthy this great
country Of Ours, join and push this bill
through. 1t will improve the esprit du
corps of the band, it will make them more
efficient, 1T will remove the friction that
has constantly been present these many
years, and of which the present trial is the
outcome. Finally, 1t will keep a first-class
musician and a man we all admire just
where We need him. First Lieutenant, not

Death Of Madeline Scott, Injured Yes
terday ut Hotel Hamilton.
The body of Madeline Scott. who died
last evening at the Emergency Hospital
from the effects Of an elevator accident at
the Hotel Hamilton yesterday, was today
removed to her late home, No. 800 1lth
street northwest. The girl. who was en-
ployed as a chambermaid at the hotel, had
undertaken to ride upstairs in the portion
of the elevator devoted to freight. On
reaching the heor to which she desired to
go the conductor stopped to let her out.
The girl got out and then put her head
back in the compartment to look after
some clothing She had left there. OF this
the conductor of the elevator was not
aware and starting UP the girls head was
caught in such a way as to suspend her
by the neck. AS qIickly as possible she was
released and carried TO the Emergency Hos
pital.
Drs. Turner and JHremann found upon
examination that her jaw was broken and
that she was otherwise so badly injured
that she could not survive. Her death fol-
lowed few hours later. Coroner Hammett
WAS notified. but up to a late hour this
afternoon he had not decided whether or
not to have inquest.
