An investigation is now in progress at the marine barracks to determine whether there is any foundation for a number of charges that have been made against Prof. Fanciulll, the leader of the Marine Band. The charges were made by A. G. de Vin- cente, who formerly played the cornet in the band, and grew out of the recent trip which the band made through the south and southwest, and which was not as great a success from a financial point of view as had been hoped. The former cornetist was one of those who went with the band, and ever since they got back he has been stirring up dis- cord where there should be only a concord of sweet sounds. He was harged a few days ago, and since then allegations have taken a more definite form, The gist of them is that on their recent trip the men were not treated as well in the matter of accommodations as they had been led to expect and that the leader not dis- tributed among them as much of the coin of the land as they thought was justly due them, He also claims that he, ems A has always been discriminated against the matter of outside engagements, vy means of which the men are accustomed to add to their rather meager incomes. These troubles came to the ears of Col. Heywood, the commandant, and he forth- with placed the matter in the hands of two of his subordinates to be sifted to the bot- tom. This action is invariably taken in cases of trouble of any sort at the barrac! and does not of itself, Col. Heywood sa} imply any slight or disrespect to the leader of the band. The aggrieved DeVincente was looked upon as rather a dissatisfied Italian and was always affected by the jealdusieg which are so prevalent in musical organiza tions. In speaking of the matter today, Col. Heywood said that while he haé not received formal notice from the two offis cers who were making an examination, Was satisfied that there was nothing in charges, and that the whole wot blow over or end in smoke. —_—.— G.

Ever since ex-President Harrison an- nounced at the close of the Morrison will case trial that he would not accept an em- ployment again in a jury case, there has been much speculation regarding the cause of his determination. Yesterday, according to a‘New York World cirpatch, an attorney employed in the Morrison case furnished a Treason which seems entirely credible, and which the friends of the ex-President do not question. According to this authority the immedi- ate cause was a remark made by Congress- man Henry W. Johnson during the trial. The court had ruled against Johnson and | in favor of Harrison in a number of in- stances, and Johnson had become very rest- less. One day a questicn had been asked a witness, and Johnson interposed an ob- jection. The point was argued, and the court decided that the question was proper, and sustained Harriscn. “If the presence of an ex-President in this case,” said Johnson, excitedly, “has anything to do with the rulings of the court, it is time that we know it,” Judge Black colored visibly under the im- putation, and was about to Harrison rose.

I am here as a citizen of this state and in the dis- charge of my duty, as I see it, to my client, and the fact that the people of my gee have geen cause to honor me should not brought into the case.” Johnson made an apology, which Harri- son did not notice, and the case proceeded. Harrison was deaply mortified over the in- cldent, and 1t was then, his friends say, that he made up his mind not to appear in a jury trial again, where cases were fought in bitterness and for effect before the jury, Mrs, FRANCES 4 year, at shter’s residence, 1518 Street northwest.
