Burrows, who, in turn, received the Sug-
geStion from President Jefferson, to Sc
cure a flrst-class Italian band as an
addition to the Marine Band. Again,
according to legend, Capt. Hall, during
lullS between fighting the Tripolitan
pirates, set about carrying out this mis-
sion. STILL according to legend, the
music loving captain of Marines utterly
failed to persuade any Italian musicians
to seek service in the then little known
United States. Having heard of an ex-
cellent band in Cantania, Sicily, he
waited until the frigate Chesapeake,
upon which he was serving dropped into
that port, then he invited the band
aboard to give concert. 1t was to be
a gala event and the musicians families
accompanied them. During the concert,
continues the legend, the Chesapeake
set sail for Tripoli, and then began a
series of adventures which led the out
ragged and bewildered Italians through
the fringe Of the Tripolitan War, across
the stormy Atlantic, to arrive seasick and
weary, 40 in all, including homesick wives
and their numerous offspring, at Nor
folk, Va
co MUCH for the legend The facts
- are less romantic Capt Hall did
get an Italian band. There was some
skullduggery, but they were not actually
kidnapped. AS a matter of fact, they
came along willingly enough, but were
induced to sign articles of enlistment

where great concourse of people had
assembled to pay honor to Thomas JEFF
ferson and celebrate his victory over
Aaron Burr On July 4, 1901, the Presi-
dent invited Col. Burrows to have his
battalion of Marines and the Marine
Band perform a military parade and
review on the White House grounds.
This was the first ceremony of the kind
in history.
1t was during his second term that
the burden of support of the band was
lifted from the officers of the Marine
Corps and taken over by the Federal
Government. Prior to 1905 the music
fund.-" which was supported by subscrip-
tion of Col Burrows and his officers, pro-
vided musical instruments, sheet music
and bounties for musicians to enlist in
the band. Congress, by its enactments
of 1905 and 1906, gave to the Marine
Band the first recognition of a military
musical organization in America.
Early in the nineteenth century
occurred an event which had great influ-
ence on the history of the Marine Band
and, for that matter, on the musical
history of Washington. This incident
involves the celebrated kidnapped Ital-
ian Band" case. The story has been told
and retold until it has become popular
myth. According to legend, Capt. Hall
of the Marines, when he set sail for
the Mediterranean with Commodore
Prebles squadron, was instructed by Col.
Evening star., 1934-06-17

by the rosy picture of the golden oppor-
tunities to accumulate fortunes in the
new land held before them by Capt.
Hall. The captain was a good salesman.
At any rate the band arrived in 1905
at Norfolk aboard the frigate Congress.
In the meantime, Col. Burrows had re-
tired from active service and been sue
ceeded by Col. Wharton as commandant
of the Marine Corps. Wharton knew
nothing about the arrangement made
with Capt. Hall and as he had his band
of Marine musicians" and was perfectly
well satisfied with them, he didn't want
another. Some time passed before the
unfortunate Italians, who spoke no Eng
liSh, became oriented and settled down.
Those who wished to stay with the
band were permitted to do so and others
were released from their contract of
enlistment. The leader of the kid
naped" Italians Gaetano CaruSi, chose
to be discharged. He settled in Wash
ington, became leader in civilian mu-
sical circles and died a wealthy man,
having founded one of the Capitals dis
tinguished and widely known families.
curious custom grew out of this Incl
dent. Some ships of the Navy on for
eign stations enlisted foreign musicians
as "ffers and drummers" of the Ma
rines, and they were put in Marine uni
form. From these early days until 1918,
all Navy bandSmen wore the Marine
uniform minus the globe and anchor"
Early in 1903 the Marine Barracks was
so far completed as to permit of occu-
pancy and the band moved into its new
quarters. The new barracks was located
on the site of the present Marine Bar
racks at Eighth and G streets southeast.
The old buildings stood for over 100
years until recently replaced, and the
present commandant's house is one of
the original structures. In the early
days the war chest of the Marine Corps
was kept in the cellar of this old build
ing and contained the pay of the
Marines and band stationed in WASH
ington.
Soon the Marine Band concerts, at
their new barracks became an addi-
tional feature of social life in WASH
ington. About the barracks there grew
up in Southeast Washington a musical
community which has continued to this
day. Into this community were drawn
many musical emigrants attracted by
the small but sure pay of the band and
the prospects of earning additional
money by outside engagements. There
was hardly social gathering of any

there were no churches. This condition
led to union service each Sunday after
noon held in the Hall of Congress-"
The Capitol Building, at that time, con-
sisted of only the north wing of the
main building. The question arose as
to the music for this Sunday afternoon
service. why not Col. Burrows Marine
Band?" said the worshipers. Col. Bur-
rows was agreeable and so the Marine
Band made its first appearance at the
Capitol, where, according to an early
account, their "glittering instruments
and brilliant scarlet uniforms made a
dazzling appearance"
AS THE Summer of 1900 passed into
Fall and the Capital of Miserable
Huts' began to take on a more orderly
appearance, the pulse of official and
social activity quickened. The band was
much in demand for private as well as
official functions and entered upon
busy season. The first Washington as
Sembly occurred during this Winter sea-
son and the Marine Band furnished the
music when the beaus in satin knee
breeches and the bellies in brocades came
to Stelle's Hotel to step the stately
minuet.
With the approach of the new year,
President John Adams, succeeding
George Washington, decided to hold a
reception on New Year day. The Marine
Band was summoned to provide music
for the occasion. The Presidents house
was by no means completed and con-
temporary gossips aver that the guests
nearly froze to death in the frigid drafts
that wandered through the half finished
structure. In those early days prohibi-
tiOn was unheard of, and it is to be
imagined that the refreshments served
not only maintained the enthusiasm of
the guests, but probably heartened the
band in its playing. They seemed to
have performed notably and to the COM
plete satisfaction of all concerned From
that beginning the Marine Band has
never missed playing at a White House
New Year reception to this day.
In March, 1901, Thomas Jefferson sue
ceeded John Adams as President Adams
had liked the band well enough, but
Jefferson was devoted to music and soon
made the band his personal hobby. The
Presidents interest in the Marine Band
was so keen that he became known as
its godfather. The band was constantly
at the presidents house" and became
known as the Presidents own"
On the morning of March 4, 1901, the
band serenaded the President-elect at
his lodgings at McMunn 81 Conrad's,

We heard much about what was

parrment and there were breath-taking
accounts of crookedness of every decrip-
ton involving the best people of ST.

and everywhere. The people spoke free

heard was TRUE.

the result of the investigation into the

Complaints and charges and. after
thorough inquiry and examination of all

chiefly. When cooking late cab- bage, pour off the first water after boiling the cabbage for about five minutes. To the second water add a little sugar as well as salt, and perhaps a teaspono of minced onion which will g1ve a nice addi- tional flavor. Enrich with plenty of fresh butter and season well with white pepper. A little vinegar may be added, and the cabbage juice slightly thickened with a paste of flour and butter, if de- sired.
 Brussel Sprouts with Chestnuts
 A similar treatment will improve Brussel sprouts which are larger and more highly favored than earlier in the season. Partly cook in boiling salted water, pour off the liquid and add more boiling water, a little salt and just suggestion of sugar. Meanwhile, cook about two-thirds as many chestnuts as you have sprouts. Peel and. blanch them. When sprouts are tender, drain them and add the chestnuts; toss together in hot butter and serve.
 String Beans with Tomatoes
 Slice 2 sized onions and saute them until tender in 2 table, spoons butter; add 2 cups of stewed fresh tomatoes Cor you eau use canned ones, of course). Season with l tablespoon salt, cloves, 2 teaspoons sugar, A teaspoon pep per and dash of cayenne and bring to the boiling point. Add 4 cups of freshly cooked string beans and simmer for 0to 15 minutes. Season with little more butter and serve very hot.
