LA50R LEADERS In CONFLICT.
Clash Before 81 Committee Over Ma
rine Band.

Representatives of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor and the knights of La
Dor came into wordy conflict yesterday
before the House Committee on Labor
over the right of the Marine Band to ac-
cept private engagements. The commit
tee had before il for consideration the
joint resolution of Representative Bar
tholdt prohibiting any enlisted man of
the army or navy from engaging in any
business or pursuit which would conflict
with civilians in their arts. trades. OF
professions. The passage of this would
prevent the Marine Band from accepting
private invitations to render music for
compensation.
Members OF the Marine Band belong to
the Knights of Labor and representatives
of that organization were before the COM
mittee in opposition to the resolution.
Several musical bodies belong to the Fed
Grafton. An argument in their behalf was
made by MIR. a. A. Lipscomb. who con-
tended that members OF the band played
at private receptions, which interfered
with the business of local musicians. Mr..
Herman j. Schufteis and Mr.. H. B. Mar
tin, OF the knights of Labor, spoke in op-
position to the resolution. Mr.. Schulteis
stated that the fight against the band was
instigated by the Federation merely be-
cause the members were affiliated with
the Knights of Labor. The other side re-
torted that the Federation represented a
large number of musical organizations,
all of which were in favor of the resolu-
tion. and that the Federation had 2000,-
COO OF members whereas the Knights had
dwindled TO a membership of but 10000.
Prof Santelmann, leader of the band,
was present, but did not address the COM
mittee. He has filed statement oppos-
ing the resolution.

answer saws that it is question between
two officers. Admiral Sampson, then com
mander-in-c chief, and Admiral Schley'
then commodore and second in command.
One of these officers is no more concerned
in this than the other: both are alike IN
terested. To have Investigated it faiIiy
both should have been heard.
Doors Closed to Sampson.
The replv then goes on TO state that the
doors Of the court were entirely closed
to Sampson and his attorneys, but ii
argues also that it was not one OF the
questions entered into by the Court OF
Enquiry, and that the evidence relating
TO it was merely incidental. The answer
states that the main purpose OF the ap-
peal is to secure the reversal of the de
partment's action and the approval by the
President OF the minority opinion ex-
pressed by the presiding officer of the
court, whose language it quotes in regard
10 the credit for the victory
Why did the enemy succeed in passing
the battle line?" Captain Lcmly asks
Ther, further along, he says:
Battle Divided in Three Parts.
The battle Of Santiago naturally di-
vides Itself into three parts-frst. the
closing-up movement and destruction of
the Pluton and Furor; second, the de-
struction OF the Teresa, Oquendo. and Viz
caya; and third, the chase Of the Colon.
At the opening Of the battle. when our
fleet began TO close in, the Kew York was
In sight and probably nearer the east
wing of the American line than was the

! Brooklyn. II the New York was within
/ signal distance. as evidence, ii heard
/ would probably show, then there is nc
/ doubt that Admiral Sampson was in COM
mand. During the first part Of the en-
gagement the New York and the Brooklyn
beth signaled 10 close up; but there is ev-
idence indicating that neithe- OF these
signals was seen. or, If seen, that they
accomplished nothing, the closing up oc-
| curing without regard TO them and in
! obedience to the general order issued by
the communicative chief to cover just this
contingency"
Excerpts from the evidence are quoted
from time to time in the reply to sub
stantiate the points advanced.
Approval OF Admiral Dewey's express
sion of opinion says the answer. upon
the question of command involves two
points:
First was Commodore Schley in 'abso-
lutte command during the battle of July
8?
Secondly and quite a different propo-
sition-is he entitled TO the credit due
fer that victory?
The first point is Il purely technical
one. where we have the case Of run
ming fight. covering a distance of about
forty miles, and the question is affected
by the naval practice of reaching distant
ships by repeating signals.
did Not Exercise Command.
Upon the second point, whether Com
raodore Schley is entitled TO the credit
for winning that battle, the testimony
from himself and his own witnesses is
so conclusive as TO leave no doubt In
the course CT the proceedings before the

powers of fleet commander, and thus
did something to merit the honors OF
Santiago. But the attempt was fail
ure. 1t was not the fact that the com
modore did anything and therefore ii
could not be established.
Not IA Single Order Obeyed.
The contention that the magnificent
work of the Oregon, or any part of it.
was done under orders from the Brooklyn,
or that the Oregon received and obeyed
even a single order from Commodore
Schley from the time the Spanish ships
were sighted to the time of the surrender
OF the Colon, which surrender may fairly
be taken as the close of the battle, must
be abandoned and with it goes the last
peg upon which to hang the pretence of
claim that during the battle of Santiago
Commodore Schley effectively exercised
any of the functions OF a commander-in-
chief,
The weight of the testimony is to the
effect that the commodore controlled the
movements of his flagship, the Brooklyn,
wei, with the exception of the loop. But
ii also shows. not negatively, but afhrm-
atively and beyond question, that he dld
not control the operations OF the Heet in
general on that day.
'All this is established not by the
oretical deduction or expert or inexpert
opinion, but by direct, positive, unim-
peached, and unimpeachable testimony,
given under oath by the admirai's broth
ers in arms
The plain truth of the matter, there
fore, developed for the first time under
the searchlight of this enquiry, although
quite incidentally. is that so far as the
Gloucester. the Iowa. the Indiana, the
Texas, and the Oregon are concerned, not
the stroke of a propeller blade, not the
touch of a helm, not the firing OF shot'
was done under the Girection or by the
orders OF Admiral schley during thIs

to Koslow's face, he marched him to the
dungeon.
He and his brother dragged McGarey
into the same dungeon and they put
Reynolds into another, and locked the
doors.
While this was going on the prisoners
created a pandemonium, shouting and
beating on the bars of their cells. The
Biddles coolly went out into the office.
They passed into the warden's resi-
dence, took the warden's overcoat and
went out. 1t is supposed that Mrs. Soffel
had either left the doors open or waited
for them.
Discovery of the Escape.
At a. m. one OF the day guards. Mar
shall, reached the Jail. He saw the gate
to the Office and 10 the cell room open
He telephoned for the police, and then
awoke the warden
Guided by the other prisoners, the party
went TO the dungeon and released the
three guards. When the warden went to
his house to notify his wife. he learned
that she was missing. 1t was decided to
apprehend Mrs. Soffel, too. Up till late
tonight none of the three had been cap
tured.
Dorman, who had turned States evil
denSe on the trial, is still in the Jail.
Before leaving. the Biddles shouted out
his name, but he was asleep, and did not
hear them. 1t IS believed they would
have waited long enough to kill him had
they known the location of his cell.
AS soon as the escape became known
Warden Soffel admitted that his wife was
missing. He was apparently suffering un-
der tremendous excitement.
The county commissioners offered re-
w rd nf for fbx Of II
dies or 81, 500 for the arrest of either of
them.

CLERK ACCUSES CHIEF.
O'ConneII Sus2endcd Pending Henr
ing of Charges Against Austin.

jeremiah D. O'Connell who has been an
1880 clerk in the Bureau of Statistics of
the Treasury Department for thirty one
years, has been suspended, and may be
dismissed, as a result of his action in
filing serious charges against the in
tegrity of o. p Austin. the chief of the
bureau.
Mr.. OConDell charges Mr.. Austin with
having Systematically used the clerical
force of the bureau for his personal work,
including the compilation of Government
statistics, which he disposed of to peri
odicals for private gain and also with
having misappropriated the funds of the
bureau for the benefit of the officials of
the Treasury Department
1t is claimed Mr.. Austin abolished the
division of which Mr.. O'Connell was chief,
relieving him of the charge of supplies
and making him a bookkeeper.
