THE U. S. MARINE BAND
Further Complications Surrounding the Sc
lection of Leader.
The Musicians Dissatisfied With Act
ing Leader Observation-Disclosures
Regarded as u Probability.

The final deciination of Leader Zimmer-
man Of the Naval Academy Band to as
sumo the leadership of the United States
Marine Band, rendered him several months
ego by Col. Haywood, seems to add new
complications to the already vexed condi-
tons surrounding the question. 1t is gen.
orally believed by those familiar with the
facts that Mr.. Zimmerman was frightened
off from his original intention of taking
charge of the Marine Band by reason of
representations that were made to him that
the Navy Department would curtail the
privileges of the band in regard to accept
ing engagements of a private character and
that he would moreover have much trouble
in the near future with the labor organi-
cations of the District. In conversation
with Star reporter this morning Col. Hey
wood stated that he had not taken up again
the question of selecting q leader for the
band, because other matters had demanded
his attention. He regretted very much that
Mr.. Zimmerman had decided to decline the
position. and said that the matter of the
leadership would again be taken up within
a short time and settled.
1t is regarded as quite probable in we'll
Informed circles that Mr.. William H. San
tleInann formerly member of the Marine
Band and at present the leader of the Co.
lumbia Theater orchestra, will be proffered
the place.
DemOralized and Dissatished.
1t is generally admitted that something
must be done and done quickly to prevent
the further Generalization of the band.
The men, with few exceptions. are dis
satisfied with Acting Leader Larsens
policy. They declare he has no business
&C pabilities whatever: that he has an over
weening sense of what constitutes disci-
pline, and that he is constantly running to
the commanding officer with complaints
about men. Some of the musicians also
declare that he Is not a competent leader
and that the music he selects for the band
to play Is not calculated to inspire the
popular approval which a public band
should make the effort to get.
The name of Mr. A. Tregina has also been
mentioned in connection with the leader
ship.
