MARINE BANDmAsTER's PAY.
The Compensation of II Lieutenant,
Hut set the Rank.

HUI aet
Although the Navy Personnel act settled
the longstanding controversy concerning
the rank to be accorded the leader of the
Marine Band. in which sousa and Fanciulli
figured conspicuously during their incum-
bency CT the office. the question of pay
has been brought TO the attention of the
Assistant Comptroller of the Currency for
decision. The Auditor for the Navy De-
partment recently decided that William
Santelmann. the present leader, although
entitled to the pay Of first Lieutenant in
tha Marine Corps, is not entitled to be
credited with the five years he served as
an enlisted man in the corps prior to the
passage of the Personnel act. The further
claim Of Santelmann that ne is entitled to
81 per month extra for leading public con-
certs under order of the President was
granted by the Auditor.
Assistant Comptroller Mitchell, in re-
viewing the two questions. reVerses the
former and concurs in the latter. He
says on the first point;
While tine leader Of the band by virtue of tn,
Navy Persaunel act is to receive the pay and al
, lowanccs Of 4 lieutenant. he still retains hi
status as an enlisted man. and does not become
a commissioned officer. For the purpose of com
putting his pay ! am of opinion that he should be
placed in the same position first lieutenant in
the Marine Corps, and such should be credited
for purposes OF longevity pay with his prior ser
vice in the manner as lieutenant in th'
Marine Corps Is credited with prior-service. "
In regard to the other question, the AS
sistant Comptroller says.
concur with the Auditor in holding that tht
leader OF the band is entitled 10 the - per month
extra for performing under orders Of the Presi
dent and Secretary OF the Navy on the Clpito
grounds or the Presidents ground by virtue o

The management of affairs at the Bureau
