MORE TESTIMONY Bandmaster Fanoiulli’s Trial by Sum- mary Cougt-Martial. LIEUTENANT MAGILL GIVES EVIDENCE Bandsmen State Their Version of the Alleged Insubordination. PROCEEDINGS TODAY ‘The summary court-martial before which Prof. F. Fanclulli, leader of the Marine Band, is being tried for insutordination re- convened at the marine barracks at 10 o'clock this. morning. The. examination of Lieut. Lewis J. Magill, who took the stand yesterday after Lieutenant Draper had concluded, a full report-of whose testimony was published in The Evening Star, was continued. Lieutenant Magill yesterday corroborated the testimony of Lieutenant Draper re- garding the occurrences on Memorial day in connection with the music played by the band and-the events leading. up to and including the placing of Professor Fanctulli under arrest. The lieutenant said he had never known the band leader to disobey an order before. In answer to a question by Mr. Hay, Lieut. Magill was uncertain whether or not he had sald to Prof. Fanciulll, “We want no more of your damned clarinet solos.* He thought, however, that he had not. This closed his examination yesterday, and when he resumed the stand this morning, after Recorder Liowe had read the min- utes of yesterday's proceedings, he was placed under redirect examination by Re- corder Llowe. In answer to questions Lieut. Magill said that when he approached the accused the first time he told him he (Magill) had been authorized to speak to him about the music. “What language did Prof. Fanciulli use in his reply to you?” asked the recorder. “He stated that the band would play only such music as he, Faaciulli, directed, and Mr. Fanciulll turned toward the mu- siclan nearest him, Repetti, and said that the band was to play oaly such music as he directed.” “Did you hear Lieut. Draper give Prof. Fanctull! any order perscrall “I did. Lieut. Draper directed Mr. Fan- ciulli to play a different class of mustv.” This closed Lieut. Magill's redirect exam- ination, and Mr. Hay interrogated him. “Did you use Lieut. Draper's name when you first approached Mr. Fanciulli?” “I am not sure when I first spoke, but I certainly did during the conversation.” “Did you not say ‘we do not want this sort of music,’ and subsequently use Lieut. Draper’s name?” Perhaps I did, but the sequence was that Lieut. Draper's order was given.” “Was Lieut. Draper's speech to Prof. Fanctulll a request, a direction or an order? Those are three words.” “It might have been any one of them. A request or direction from a senior to.a Junior is considered equivalent to an order,” replied Lieut. Magill. # In the subsequent interview between Lieut. Draper and Prof. Fanctulll witness said he was merely a listener. “That is all,” said Mr. Hay. Bandman Romer on the Stand. The next witness called was Henry Romer, a private in the marine corps at- tached to the Marine Band, stationed at the marine barracks in Washington. Romer was asked whether he heard any: ecnversation between Lieut. Draper and Fanclulll May 31. He said he heard noth- ing that he could remember exactly. When the band halted Lieut. Magill came to Prof. Fenciulli and told him the band was, rot playing satisfactory music. Mr. Hay noted an objection to # recital of statements passing between Lieut. Ma- gill and the accused and the conduct of the accused toward Lieut. Magill, becauze the specification alleged disrespectful condact to Lieut. Draper. Recorder Llowe read the transcript of Lieut. Magill’s testimony, and at the -con- clusion of this recital the lieutenant was excused. ‘The court was cleared and it was decided to strike out Mr. Hay’s obpection alto- gether. The witness resumed his testi- mony. It was a difficult thing for the court and attorneys to understand him. His English was poor and his embarrassment intense. While he was floundering away, being made every moment more embar- rassed by the tilts between Recorder Liowe and Mr. Hay, the recorder created much amusement by remarking that he would like to have a chance at the witness out- side for a few moments. Mr. Hay added to the fun by admitting that he had been unable to get anything out of Romer. Ke- corder Liowe said he did not intend by his remark any adoption of methods contrary to court regulations, but witness had made statements previously which he seemed to be unable to rememter now. Lieut. Karmany suggested contumacy on the part of Romer, but this was not pressed. He did not hear anything. He heard Professor Fan- ciulli say nothing to Lieut. Draper. At last he was relieved of further interrogation by Recorder Liowe and ,turned over to Mr. Fiay. “What instrument do you play in the band?” asked Mr. Hay. “Cornet,” was the reply. “Cornet,” repeated Mr. day, reflectively, “Oh-h-h. Do you always walk beside the band leader?” “Yes, sir,” replied Romer. “Did you see the commanding officer ap- proach the band leader at 4% street?” “No, sir.” “What was the order of the music on that day? What was the first air played?" “ ‘Old Hickory,’ the first one in the book. “The next?’ “Semper Fidel “What was the next? = - “The next was one of Fanciulli's marches. cannot remember what it was.” “And the next?” said Mr. Hay. “ “Bl Capitan,’ ” said the witness. “How do these airs rank as marches? was then asked if Lieut. Draper spoke to Prof. Fanctulli at 4% street. He said he did not know. Witness remembered, however, that Lieut. Magill came to Prof. Fanciulli at 15th street and Pennsylvania avenue. He spoke to Fan- clulli, saying the music was not satisfac- tory, and took the music book the leader had. He opened it and looked at it: looked at the marches; did not know what he did with the book after he went back to the commanding officer and returned with the latter. What did Prof. Fanclulli say to Lieut. Magill?" inquired Mr. Hay. “Mr. Fanclulli sail: ‘Lieutenant, I pick out the best music I got.’ I couldn't see them very well because the crowd had pusbed in on the band to find out what was the matter.” He covld not tell what was Mr. Fan- clulil’s manner. He didn’t hear a loud wi from Mr. Fanciulll, who spoke low and sicwly. Witness noticed that one time Mr. Fanctvili saluted hfs superior officer. Did not bear what Fanciulli said to Lieut. Draper. : On redirect examination the witness said he had teen in the band since 11 “Do you understand English perfectly?’ asked Recorder Liowe. ‘Yes, sir; I understand tt.” “You did not hear Prof. Fanctulli speak loud? “No, sir.” ‘Do you know Lieut. Draper by sight?” “No, sir.” “That is all.” said the recorder. “You understand my plain English, don’t you?” asked Mr. Hay, inning another series of questions. “Yes, sir.” “Did you ever know of Prof. Fanciulli being disrespectful to his superior officer?” (0, alr.’ This oma 1 ith testimony, das he was warned by Capt. Goodrell not to speak about the case on the outside. For the Defense. The testimony of Romer closed the prose- cution’s evidence, and Mr. Hay began call- ing his witncsses for the defense.

Mr. Hay then asked the witness to tell in ‘his own words everything that occurred. Seventhuysen--said that Lieutenant Mzgill returned with Lieutenant Draper, and both of them logked over the music book. “Fanclulli told Lieut.

Draper said: ‘I'm going to send you “home if you don’t play the music I-call fer.’ After that what was said-I could not understand.” Witness said Lieut. Draper left, and then returned and placed the leader under ar- rest. : Witness did not hear the response of Fanciulll to Lieut.» Draper after Fanctullt had left the parade. The entire band was Present at the time.of the occurrence; prob- ably six or seyen members of the band were within hearing of Lieut. Draper, but Fanciulli spoke in a Iower tone. Fanciulli wag standing at #ttentton in a respectful manner, as far as witness could judge, when addressing Lieut, Draper. He saluted Lieut.

Fanciulli's voice, while soft, somewhat vibrated with emotion, but his manner wag respectful. Witness had never known Leader Fanci- ulli to be disrespectful to a superior officer. ‘This closed the direct examination of the witness, and Recorder Liowe began his cross-examination. In reply to a question if he had ever heard Fanciulli speak in other than a soft voice, witness said he had heard him use a loud tone at band rehearsals. Witness could not remember the leader's exact words to Lieutenant Draper. He said he would select the music which he should judge was best, Witness was asked if he knew why Professor Fanclull| was dis- missed from the. parade. He sali he Gid not know positively, and Was not allowed to state his suppositions ou the subject. “Did Mr. Fancjulli refuse to obey Lieut.

The entire line of march was @ blaze of red fire, and fireworks were ex- Ploded from almost every window, to say nothing of those set off by the men in line. When the engine house on St. Asaph street was reached the company marched to thetr meeting room, where the members were received by Mr. W. A. Smoot, prest- dent of the company, who made a short speech, congratulating them upon their suc- cess. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS The preliminary business in the Senate today was brief and unimportant. Mr. Al- len of Nebraska introduced a resolution, upon which he said he would later address the Senate, decharing against the distinction made in special pensioh bills between the widows of officere and privates, At 12:15 p.m. the consideration of the tariff bill was resumed, the pending amend- ment being that of Senator Jones of Ar- kansas to strike out in line 20, page 63, the words “on all sugars.” Mr. Vest’ of Missouri teok the floor and called upon the majority to answer the declarations made by the minority that the present sugar schedule gave a large increase of protection to the sugar trust. His side, he said, has made the direct is- sue. The sugar trust was now making 20 per cent on its enormous watered stock. Its officials had admitted it. In view of this fact it was due the minor- ity and the country that an explanation that explained should be made by the other side. But what was the reply of the ma- jority to the chaHenge of the minority? It was that leaving out the countervailing duty of three-eighths of a cent*there was no increase. But what he wanted to know was what it was If that three-eighths was included? By what sort of. legerdemain was it to be excluded, he asked. Mr. Vest repeated his statement of Wed- nesday that the protection on % degree Sugar was increased by the caucus amend. ment over the original Senate amendment 5 cents per hundred pounds. It was 08 cents in tne schedule adopted yesterday, against 34 cents in the present law. He went into an elaborate calculation, using, he said, Mr. Aldrich’s figures as a basts, and challerged the majority to disprove hts calculations. - said he, passionately, Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

The passing of the sugar schedules will be construed into an event of equal stgnifi- cance with the final passage of the bill. The importance of this schedule in its bearing on the general market was fully demonstrated today. The volume of business was restricted, and prices failed to add to the recent im- provement solely because of the fact that a Senate caucus, on certain incidents of the sugar schedule, was in progress at Wash- irgton. While the success of the sugar schedule is no longer considered essential to the pas- sage of the bill, it would undoubtedly hasten activity on the theory that the greatest obstacle had been overcome.

The only excuse he had heard advanced was that of Senator Alltson yes- terday that this duty was imposed, not for revenue, but to encourage the beet sugar industry. “Oh, Mr. President,” cried Mr. Vest, in conclusion, “‘our experts may be mistaken; we may be in the fog ringing our bells, but I repeat again what I said the other day, that there was one set of men in this coun- try who were not mistaken. Our friends in Wall street know what is schedule means,”’ he said, his voice rising. “Within four hours after this schedule was reported, sugar stock went up $6 @ share, from 118 to 124. Last night it closed at 125 1-8. Does anybody believe that Wall street doesn’t know what protection this schedule gives to the trust? If the prote tion had been reduced, Wali street would have responded as my hand responds to my brain. The cry in Wall street is: ‘The trust has got all it wants! Up with the flag of oon that puts money in our pock- ets!” ———_—_ NOMINATIONS CONFIRMED. Superintendent Lewis of the District Charitics Among the Succeasfal. The Senate yesterday confirmed the fol- lowing nominations: Herbert W. Lewis of Maryland to be su- perintendent of charities for the District of Columbia, Harold 8.

Vincent of Pennsylvania to be assistant appraiser of merchandise in the Gistrict of Philadelphia. Robert 8. Person of South Dakota to be deputy auditor for the Interior Depart- ment. Mr. McEnery’s Maiden Speech. Mr. McEnery (La.), who yesterday voted for the sugar schedule, follswed Mr. Vest. It was his maiden speech in the Senate, and much interest was manifested as he began. Several republican senators moved over and took seats on the democratic side. In opening he referred to the denunciation of the sugar trust as a corporation whicn was crushing the life blood out cf the con- sumer. But that trast was not the only organization, he said, which was meeting eneve 1 us u with the condemnation cf the people and| Frank A. Leach of California to be su- | American Spirite. 4 .

It was the trust which controlled a new process for baling cotton. That company sought to bale andecontrol the cotton of the south. Its interests were directly opposed to those of the cotton planters. The interests of the sugar producers, on the contrary, went hand tn hand with those of the sugar trust. The interests of both were bound up to- gether. If the differential on refined sugar was not maintained, a blow would be struck at the producer, and every big factory would be idle. New Orleans, La.

Why should sena- tors on this side of the chamber strike at us? Why should a sword be run through the body of an infant to reach the body of a giant? It is not brave, nor manly, nor courageous.” Protection for Sugar Planters. He went back and reviewed the history of sugar production to show the effects of various statutes, democratic and republil- can, to foster and stimulate the produc- tion of sugar. With proper protection and legislation, he said, we would produce all our own sugar. We would export svgar. It would require 15@ factories to make this sugar. Those factories would cost the enormous sum of $150,000,000. Every sec- tion of the country would be benefited. “Considering the vast interests Louisiana has in rice and sugar,” continued Mr. Mc- Enery, “‘considering the output of her saw mills, her salt and sulphur mines, is there any reason why the democratic party of my state should be committed to protec- tion? Not high protection, but such pro- tection as is consistent with revenue neces- sities. This, also, I believe, is the doctrine of the republican party. I do not believe that elther party is desirous of imposing unnecessary burdens upon the people.” Mr. McEnery at some length recalled his political career to show that as far back as 1884 he occupied the same position on this question occupied by him now. “Call it what you will” said Mr. Mc- Enery, ‘protection, revenue duty with in- cidental protection, or anything else, large amounts must be raised, and there is no reason why the industries of the south should not be protected.” He said he had a right, as a democrat, to have the platform of 18¥2 carried out, but it was pot. There was no doubt constitu- tional right to levy duty for protection. He stood with Jefferson and Jackson on the tariff. He then proceeded to read a carefully prepared argument in favor of the protec- tion of home industries. The republicans mark of Lieutenant Draper. There were no further questiona, and the witness, after having his testimony read to him, was excused. The court then, at 1 o'clock, took a re- cess until 1:30. A Very Important Witness. The first witness called after recess was Henry P. Werres, a musician in the Marine Band. In reply to Mr. Hay’s question, he sald he knew Lieut. Draper by-sight. He was in the parade May 31. Hé had known Lieut Magill about a year. He saw both officers in the parade on that day. Witness Tecelted the names of the airs played from the barracks to 15th street and Pennsyl- vania avenue. Witness saw Lieut. Magill approach Leader Fanciulli at 15th street and Penn- sylvania enue, and heard Lieut. Magill Say, as near as he could remember: “{ don’t want any more of your d——d clarionet solos,” or words to that effect. Witness said there was no immediato re- sponse from the leader, “Please relate what then occurred,” said ie McKay to be postmaster at Lead, ——_-o+_____ CAUCUS AMENDMENT ADOPTED.

Mr. Hay. “after addressing Mr. Fanciulli,” said the witness, ‘Lieutenant Magill approached a musician of the band and asked him for his book of marches. Lieutenant Magill and leader of the band and I take it as my place to select the music to be played.’ Lieutenant Magill.thereupon left, and in a few moments returned with Lieutenant Draper. Lieutenant Draper essayed to pick out the music to be played.” The witness continued, saying that while the officers were looking at the march book Mr. Fanciulli saluted Lieutenant Draper and remarked: . ur “Sir, I am:shedeader of the band, and it is my place 4p, the music.” “Then,” said.
