Mechanicians have long worried over the enormous waste of energy that results from arresting by means of brakes the Prog of a vehicle which must again be sent on its way. In the days of horse cars the starting, not the muintenance, of on, that quickly wore out the horses, and numberless inventors racked. their brains for a device by means of which the moving car's momentum could be turned into stored power ready for use in the next s The a of a certain speed creates, or rather leaves ready for utilization, jist force enough to cause a resumption of the same velocity, and on its face the task of so utilizing it does not look like one beyond the capacity ef any skilled builder of machines to per- form. It has n omplished, however, and cars are still stopped all over tLe world by compelling them to wear out wheels and brake shoes—both of which are expensive, to say nothing of the cost in or horse flesh of making the next change of inertia to momentum. On a trolley line up in Yonkers, however, tesis are in progress of a nevel air brake which, though it does not solve the old problem and use for starting the energy released by stopping, does put a part of that energy to a better service then thé destruction of iron. Air brakes of the ordinary sort have been tried on trolley ears. before, but a serious obstacle to their successful em- ployment has been the speedy loss of air pressure in the reservoir, due to the fre- quent application of the brakes. The new device is the result of an effort to main- tain a constant presscre in the reservoir by means of an air pump which. is geared to the axle and is set in motion. Thus, every time he reduces the speed of his car by using the stored air he sets the car it- self at work renewing his supply. ‘This considerably reduces the amount of fric- | tion on the wheels required to effect the stop, and the system is said to be entirely successful so far as it goe: Youthfal Prisoner.

A DECISION REACHED The Summary Court-Martial of Fan- ciulli Engaged on Its Report. A SEVERE SENTENCE “EXPECTED The Question of Discipline to Be Alone Considered. REGARDED AS A TEST CASE tet ee Capt. M. C. Goodrell, Lieut. Karmany, Capt. F. H. Denny and Recorder Theodore Llowe, composing the summary court-mar- tial convened last week to hear the case against Prof. Francesco Fanciulli, leader of the United States Marine Band, for in- subordination during the Memorial day ex- ercises, convened again this morning at the marine barracks. The session was held be- hind closed doors. The testimony was re- viewed and Prof. Fanciulli was called upon for an additional statement. The report of the court was then proceeded with and a decision wag reached. This will not be made public for several days. The report will be submitted to Capt. Frank H. Har- rington, commandant at marine Barracks, as soon as it has been prepared by the re- corder. It will then be forwarded to the ccmmandant of the Marine Corps, Colonel Heywood. The probabilities are that the punishment of Prof. Fanciulli will be some- thing more than a reprimand, although it is not believed that it will go to the extent of a dismissal. The members of the court are strict disciplinarians and it is regarded as certain that they look upon the incident 2s one which has broad effect, The findings will probably be made public in a few days. Lieut. Karmany will leave Washington a 0 o'clock next Wednesday morning wit! the marine guard of the battle ship Iowa, ag on this account the report will be hur- ried. Prof. Fanciulli's statement before the court this morning was a repetition of his direct testimony, which is given below. He repeated the conversations had with him by Lieuts. Magill and Draper and recounted his views of his position as leader of the Marine Band and his opinion regarding his responsibilities. The impression prevails among the marines and the members of the band that the case is one which in- volves the relations between a subordinate and a superior officer, and that the result will be far reaching in its bearing upon ab- so‘ute military discipline. It is believed that the sentence of Prof. Fanciulli will be as severe as it can be outside of absolute discharge from the Marine Corps. Prof. Fanciulll’s Plain Statements. Prof. Fanciulli took the witness stand, after The Star's report of the inquiry closed Saturday afternoon. He gave his testimony in a clear voice, and told an interesting story of the events which led up to his arrest on Memorial day. He testified that he was the leader of the United States Marine Band, and his duty as such was to select, arrange, teach and direct the music played by the band, whenever It was ordered. He was in charge of the band May 31 by order of Cap- tain Harrington, commanding the marine barracks. He recited the names of the marches played, which were compositions of Sousa and himself, and the program selected was precisely the same as that followed in the inaugural parade. The inaugural program had been selected by the commanding officers of that parade, and was sanctioned by the commandant. It was not the custom to submit the pro- gram of the band music to the command- aut. Witness was always ready and pleased to play anything specially asked for. In reply to a question whether any com- plaint was made to him on Memorial day respecting the time and cadence of the music, Prof. Fanciulli replied as follows: “Mr. Draper came up to me at 4% street and the avenue and asked me to give a march with more ‘swing’ to it. The band was playmg at the time, and all that I heard was, ‘Play a march ‘with more swing.” I answered, ‘After this,’ and com- plied by playing ‘El Capitan,’ not because i thought that there was more swing, but because I thought it was meant to play~ somebody else's march, as long as it was popular and wel known. The professor was then asked to state what occurred when the parade rested at 15th street and Pennsylvania avenue, Lieut. Magill's Strong Language. ial “The command was at rest, and the band- men were talking among themselves, when I heard a voice call my name. I recognized the voice as that of Lieut. Magill. [ turned quickly to hear his order, and placed my hand in a saluting position. Lieut. Magill, in a tone that I considered severe, said: ‘I told you in New York, [ tell you now again, I don’t want any of your d— clar- inet variation marches, “I was surprised and couldn’t answer for moment, until after he had gone and sic book from one of my musi- ut. Magill said: you to give us some tunes.’ ‘Mr. Magill, I have my and will play what I think and to play.’ “He took the book and went to Lieut. Draper, I suppose. They both came back together in a few minutes. Mr. Draper came With a book to tell me what to play. I saluted him and said: Mr. Draper, I am the leader of the band, and will play whenever ordered, but what to play I believe to be my right to select.’ “Then Lieut. a tak: Draper started to dictate to the band what to play from the book. I turned and sai ““The band will receive the orders for mesic from me." “I did rot say this to the band, but to Mr. Draper, in explanation. He replie You know I am commander of ti cetacument and can suspend you, and, the sods, I will send you to the bar to report under arrest.’ I sald: ‘If it is yeur right, do it “In all this my feelings were calm and aceful,"” said Prof. Fanciulli. “I never bowed a sign of insubotdination. ai 8 ready to obey any order, but I felt fully convinced that the selection of the music Was my absolute privilege.” Duties of a Band Leader. Upon cross-examination by Recorder Liowe, Prof. Fanciulli swore that he thought a band leader was needed in mod- ern m t ause he was supposed to be en expert and to have command of all un- der his charge. Hie did not fetuse to change the program, and was ready to ovey any orders from Lieutenant Draper regarding the class of selections, such as waltz, polka, mazurka, and the like, but net as to their com. posers, which selection he thought belonged to him. He did not know why Lieutenant Draper placed him under arrest, but sup- posed it was in consequence of the expres- sion of opinion about the music. Prof. Fancluill’s testimony was closed with answers to two questions put by the court. The first was: “You say you prepare programs for and direct the music of the band. Do you mean by this that, holding a subordinate grade in a military organization, being an eniist- ed man, in fact, you have any control un- der -any circumstances when serving on duty with a superior in rank?” Prof. Fanciuili said he believed that he had, so far as the selections were con- cerned. ‘The second question was: “Are not your programs subject at any time to revision or compigte change by your commanding officer?" “I do not think,” was the reply, “that in a public concert it would appropriate, but it might be his right to do so. “State the custom with regard to such a thing as this,"’ said Capt. Goodwell. “It has never occurred before. On one occasion there was a lieutenant who told a musician whom I had left in charge not to play a certain march for 100 years. The musician reported to me. I spoke to the commandant in regard to the matter, asking him who was the proper person to select the music for the band to , end ie replied, ‘You, yourself.’ com- serait who did this was Lieut. Col. Hey- wood.” Capt. Harrington's Tribute. Capt. Frank H. Harrington, co: marine barracks, followed Dice eee you| He was asked what he knew about she latter’s regard for discipline, and replied that Fanctulli ;had nm under his com- mand since September last. and had re- ported to him officially every day for or- ders and various asSignments of the band, and had always cheerfully, readily and without questfen olieyed all orders that were given to him. THE MARINE BAND. Its Leader Should Be Made a Commis- sioned Officer. To the Editor of THe Efeving Star: After reaGing the testimony giver at the Fanelulli trial in The Star of Friday and Saturday, we think the intelligent public generally will, decide, despite wnat the judgment of the court may be or what the sentence, that Prof. Fanciulli was far nearer the right than the wrong. We be- lieve there is a clause in the army regula- tions relative to an officer using profane language to a subordinate; if not, there certainly should be. The testimony thus far would tend to give one the impres- sion that Licut. Magill at least did use languege not generally supposed to be necessary in the giving of an order. Such a small crder, too! If we rememter aright, Prof. Fanclulli was for a number of years member of a band in the Italian army. He certainly had ample opportunity then to learn by what music troops can best march. Lieut. Draper blames the ragged marching of the marines on Decoration day to the music. The writer while riding on the avenue cars May 31 met them at Gth street returning, when the lieutenant, presumably, had di- Tect charge of the music. The marching then was extremely ragged. We would be inclined to look far beyond the poor catspaw of a band, even to the drill mas- ters, for the cause. But to the point. Some time ago a bill was introduced in Congress providing that the leader of the Marine Band should be a commissioned officer, a first lieutenant. For some reasen Secretary Herbert sub- stituted second for first lieutenant, and with that change urged its passage. What has become of that_b:ll we do not know, but that it was a just and sensible one cannot be denied. Consider, first, that the leader of the Marine Band has direct commend of fifty men—the size of the average company commanded by a captain; second, that he also has the instruction of the musicians for all the war vessels; third, that he is practically music director for the navy and not only leader of the band; fourth, that the band alone is just double the regular regimental band, while its leader ranks with that of tae smaller organization as a sergeant. It could certainly work no injury to the other commissioned officers to put shoulder straps on Mr. Fanciulli, as all who know him personally will testify. The leader of the crack band in the English army is a member of the nobility, and, we believe, has the rark of either a first Heutenant or a captain. Let the friends of music, the admirers of the Marine Band, an organiza‘ion which has been so long identified with the navy, with Washington, with the entire Union; the lovers of justice, common sense and a broad-minded policy worthy this great country of ours, join and push this bill through. It will imptove the esprit du ccrps of the band, it will make them more efficient, it will remove the friction that has constantly been vresent these many years, and of which the present trial is the outcome. Finally, ft will keep a first-class musician and a man we all admire just where we need him, First Lieutenant, not Second Lieutenant or Sergeant or Professor, Fanciulli.

A large and enthusigstic gathering as sembled at Mitchelville last Saturday in the Interest of the republican party, and addresses were made by C. H. Dailey of Bladensburg, H. B. Fowler, Riverdale; H. 0, Emmons, Hyattsville, and S. J. Jen- nings of that place. The speakers cau- tioned against the sowing of discord, and urged every republican to stand firm for the interest of his party, and go to work in carnest, laying aside all personal ambi- ticn, and looking only for the general good of the party. Three cheers were suggested by Mr. Emmons for Sydney E. Mudd and Judge George Merrick, which were given with a will. Rights of Bicyclers. Judge Kimball today decided that “if a pedestrian will walk in the street except at cressings, and is run into by a bicycler the blame is with the pedestrian.” The case came up as a complaint of Spe- cial Officer Moreland, who testified that while walking on M street near 7th north- vest Saturday night, about 11 o'clock, he as struck with great violence by a bicycle dden by Thos, Simms and knocked down. Simms ‘acknowledged the charge, but claimed that the Ufair was an accident and was unavoidabfe. Judge Kimball dis- missed the cliargé> and used the words above quoted. 5, Se Paying the Taxes. From the London (iy:): Echo, A short time ago a deputy sheriff of Letcher countyjonly a short distance from here, had a claim for taxes against a cit- izen of Mill Créek,“amounting to 82 cents, and as the citizen was a desperate charac- ter, the deputy, induced a brave man to go with him, both beiug armed to the teeth. Arriving at their destination, the deputy demanded his ‘monéy, but the citizen in- formed him that hg, did not have it. The deputy proceeded. tg levy on a cow, and started to drivg-the “critter” off, when the citizen's wife prevailed on him to stay ang take dinner with them. After dinner, being in a happy and kindly mood, he invited the citizen and wife to make him a visit, and as he was about to take his leave the gen- tle wife told him she had a settlement to paket him. - Bs i—-what settlement do you refer to, SHES. eeons — “You have not paid for your dinner, sir,’ she replied. “Oh! why, certainly, wh—what's my bill, = oe ——————_+-0+—___.

From the St. Louls Globe-Democrat. William Alien, an employe of the United States Express Company, was engaged in the company’s stable unloading some cattle from a wagon. Among them was a@ calf which had not yet celebrated the first an- niversary of its birthday. It was a foolish, playful young thing, and Allen undertook to lift it from the wagon. He did not, how- ever, reckon on the fun-loving, rollicking disposition of the immature animal, and just as he was about to get a Nelson grip on it the calf let fly its hind feet much after the manner of an army mule. Its hoofs were sharp, and one of them struck Allen full on the mouth. Twenty minutes later Allen walked into the city dispensary, his face covered with blood, and asked Dr. Johnson. to attend him. The physician found that the upper lip had been split open for two inches. The wound was cov- ered by heavy blonde mustache. Dr. Johnson his shaving cup and razor, and was about to attack the mus- tache, so that he could get at the lip, when the patient entered a vigorous protest. That blonde mustache, the patient sald, had been carefully cultivated, and was nearly a foot long from tip to tip. It had attained its present proportions only after years of careful nourishing and care, and the man was loath to part with it. He ex- } Pressed no objection to having a tooth or two pulled, or a leg amputated, but part with that mustache he never would. Dr. Johnson argued and expostulated, but in vain. Finally the physician told Allen that unless he parted with the mustache the | wouna could not be sewed up. Eventually the SE ee but with every scrape oi razor he winced at the reali- ree that his facial decoration was loom his friends until time enough had to cultivate a mustache which would ap- proach in a measure the glory of the one whick fell a victim to Dr. Johnson's razor. ——-o-+—____ Gave Bail in Sum of $1,000.
