Musicians Opposed to Gov- ernment Competition. A PETITION PROPOSED —————— Prof. Fanciulli, the former leader of the United States Marine Band, left the city for New York last night. Before leaving he sent a communication to The Star, thank- ing the press for the fight made in his be- half and adding: “During my five years’ sojourn in your beautiful city as leader of the Marine Band I heave made many friends and formed many warm ettachments. And it is with sincere regret that I take my departure from the city where I had hoped to make my home. I do not know how to express my appreciation for the kindness shown me by the press of the city, and the fight made in my behalf incident to the little un- pleasantness of last Decoration day. In response to the suggestion that it is desir- able to have an American for leader of the Marine Band, I desire to say that while I am not a native born, I am In spirit, and, in fact, an American in the fullest sense of the word. And although I have severed my connection with the band, which has been the pride of my life and which I have labored so hard to bring up to the highest standard of musical excellence, I shall con- tinue to be an American. Now after put- ting in five of the best years of my life in the service of the government, I go forth to begin again at the bottom, and all 1 can ask is the continued good wishes and good cheer of the friends I have made in this city. It is my hope that in the very near future I shall visit your beautiful capi- tal wita a musical organization of my own, a musical organization composed of artists, in thorough sympathy with its leader, and which will be appreciated by the musical- loving people of Washington.” The New Leader. Charles A. Zimmermann, who succeeds Prof. Francesco Fanciulli as leader of the band, inherits his musical talents, as both his parents were of musical families. His father, the late Charles G. Zimmermann, was a good musician, and was a member of the Naval Academy Band for many years. During the exciting period of the civil war the Naval Academy was removed to Newport, R. I., where, in 1862, Charles A. Zimmermann was born. After the stir- ring climaxes of the war the academy offi- cials decided that there was no place like home, and, accordingly, removed to An- napolis in 1865, where Prof. Zimmermann has since lived. A story is told that when he was but six years old a cute little three- quarter violin was placed in his hands. He wept for joy upen receiving it, and after- ward in sorrow “‘because he could not play like papa.” He progressed rapidly on the violin, and when but nine years of age was placed at a piano. This at once became his favorite instrument and has ever since continued to be so. At the age of fourteen young Zimmermann entered the Peabody Conservatory of Music, where he studied under the celebrated instructors, Prof. As- ger Hamerick and Madame Nanette Falk Auherach. After three years’ hard and dil- igent work at this institution he was grad- uated with high honors. Traveling for a few years he again re- turned to his native heath, and thinking that practical experience should be com- bired with theoretical knowledge, he en- listed In the Naval Academy Band. After a short service he was selected by the naval authorities to be leader of the band. He was then only twenty-four vears of age, and had the distinction of being the youngest leader of a government band in the country. As there were numerous applicants for the situation, all older and perhaps more experienced than young Zim- mermann, he was consequently much sur- prised when he received his appointment and became master of some thirty men, mcst of whom were twice his age. In his ten years as musical director at the Acad- emy he has brought the band to a high degree of perfection, so that now, after the Marine Band, it is the best known government organization of its kind in the United States. At the time: of Sousa’s resignation from the Marine Band Zimmerman was promi- nently mentioned as his probable succe: sor, but he allowed no effort for himself to be made by his friends. He now ac- cepts the appointment, which was tendered im without any personal effort being made for the place. Characteristics as a Leader. Like Sousa, he has that fire and dash in the artistic manipulation of the baton that is so appreciated by the musical publi His personal magnetism and enthusiasm are also infused into his men, who are urged to their best efforts by his slightest movement or look. His style of directing is peculiarly his own and well calculated to bring out the finer points of the compo- sitions. Prof. Zimmermann Is a great ¢: pressionist, i. e., every sign of expres- sion from the very slightest pianissimo to the loudest fo imo must be scrupulously observed. Prof. Zimmermann is a strict disciplinarian, yet he is very popular with his men. As a composer Prof. Zimmermann stands very high. His compositions are of a wide and varied range He has written fifteen or twenty masses, arranged for full orchestra, organ and 8, for St. Mary's Church, where he has n Organist since he was a mere lad. Every year it has been his custom to dedi- cate a new two-step or waltz to the grad- usting class, which compliment was greatly appreciated by the “admirals.” It became his duty also to score the numerous op- ercttas of some talented student librettist. Hits more pretentious works in this line are ‘The Water Nymph” and the “American Minister,” both of which are worthy of special commendation. Having studied all styles,Prof. Zimmermann, nevertheless, has his own, which both pleases the ear and popularizes his compositions at once. His originality will be much appreciated in this age of musical imitation. His great popu- Jarity with the “admirals,” otherwise the cadets, Is shown by the numerous medals that he possesses. Besides these, he has re- ceived no end of batons, which include a wold and sevetal silver cones, as well as watches and trinkets, all of which he val- ues highly. It is not as yet known whether or not he will make any changes in the personnel of the Marine Band, but it can be safely. said that whatever action he takes wilg be for the best interests of the organization. As was demonstrated by his command over the academy band, he is quick to recognize taient and acknowledge true worth. It is not improbable that he will immediately ask for a larger quota of men and higher salaries, so that it will be possible to in- duce musicians of knowa ability to enlis which they at present hesitate to do. Prof. Zimmerman has often stated that it is his sole ambition to become the leader of the greatest band in the country, both numerically and artistically. That he un- derstands the government of large assem- blages was demonstrated by his perfect management of the inaugural orchestra at Cleveland's first term, which he directed. ‘The Marine Band’s Engagements.

Schuldt, director of the Elite Or- chestra, and a well-known local civilian musician, has the following to say: “The statements of Assistant Secretary Roosevelt an@ Col. Heywood that the Ma- rine Band will be allowed to compete with Tocal civilian musicians in the District of Columbia, and not in other cities and states, has excited indignation in the fra- ternity. Musicians here do not see why they are singled out to have the burden of this competition from which those in other cities are freed. It, however, demonstrates, that, as with politics, the District has again been ignored. It will be seen that the Chicago protest has stopped the band’s jaunts to other cities. “Colonel Heywood is quoted as having re- marked that jealousy was no doubt the cause of the Chicago protests. I am not prepared to vouch for other cities, but as far as the District is concerned this state- ment is ridiculous. The very fact that the majority of the bandsmen are members of the Washington Musical Assembly is evi- dence in support of its reputation. Motions have been made upon the floor of the as- sembly to disbar the band, hut these were promptly voted down by the civil- ho outnumber the bandsmen three to . The assembly has a frequently drafte] and supported bills to secure the band increased salaries. These facts tend to show that there is no truth in the jeal- cusy statement. “The local civilian musicians contend that justice to one should be justice to all, and now that the other cities have secured theirabor freedom they mean to fight for their own. They claim, and rightfully, I think, that :f a privilege is extended to one city it should be given to all, and there- fore ask that no discrimination be made against Washington civilian musicians. t has been said that as long as the bandsmen ‘receive such small salaries they cannot be censured for accepting extra en- sagements. Why, then, does not the gov ernment increase their beggarly pittanc Surely the civilian musician must not be made mony. “Being enlisted men and receiving gov- ernment pay, they are, strictly speaking,the property of the government, and should, therefore, be required only for govern- mental purposes.” Mr. Schuldt states his intention of offer- ing a petition to the Secretary of the Navy, signed by all the local civilian musicians, praying that the Marine Band be prohibited from competing with the local musicians, and that he use his influence to secure the band better salaries. ————— INFORMATION WANTED. to suffer for governmental parsi- Relatives Anxious as to Whereabouts of Two Pittsburgers. Considerable anxiety is felt by the rela- tives and friends of Mr. Emmett Charles Lowry, a young newspaper man of Pitts- burg, Pa., and Dr. R. 8. Reamer, regarding their whereabouts. The young men left Pittsburg August 20, without disclosing to any one their destination. wry promised his brother, who was the last of his rela- tives to see him previous to his departure, to keep him posted as to his whereabouts. They were last seen together on a train near Youngstown, Ohio. Both men are said to be of good habits, and Lowry is rather quiet and reserved.

Investigation Into the Case of Clerk Miles Being Continued. There are no new developments in the case of Clerk Miles of the assessor's office, recently arrested on a charge of embezzle- ment. The office today is in charge of As- sistant Assessor Goff A. Hall, and he does not receive the fees for tax certificates, They are all sent to the collector of taxes, who returns a receipt therefor, upon which the certificate is issued. The statement of Miles that other cierks in the office handled moncy has put on foot another investigation, ard the auditor of the District is carefully inquiring into every suspected case. There seems to be scme doubt as to where the responsibility tor this loore method of deing business rests. It was expected that the collector of taxes and the assessor would be called before the Commis: loners today to give their version of the case, but the absence of Commissioner Ross’ has made it neccssary to postpone the hearing until later. Meanwhile speculation is rife us to the probable outcome of the case. Candidates for the positions of assessor and collector are already appearing, and it 1s understood the republicans will make a strong fight to get the pleces. A case was unearthed today in which it was found that no entry had been made of an applicant for a tax certificate, and it may be this case will be included in the charges against Mr. Miles. a Washington Boy Wins a Prize.

Last year there was a@ total of 527 licenses issued to conduct bar rooms, and 147 persons received licenses to conduct wholesale places for the sale of liquor. This is considered to be out of all proportion to the needs of the District, and an organized effort will be made to make a big reduction. It is understood the Commissioners are in sympathy with the movement end will lend their ald. Just what course the exciee board will pursue to bring about this result is not known, ‘although as one of the board said to a Star reporter today, ‘“‘We propose to reject applications of all violators of law. this is done the number will be reduced materially. The board hes already by its action in refusing ‘certain transfers of liquor licenses. indicated its position, and the Hquor mea are quite agitated over the probable reduction. Anti-Saloom League's Proposition. The Anti-Saloon League has started the ball rolling by appearing before the excise beard last Saturday and urging the purging of Pennsylvania avenue from 1st to 7th streets of liquor saloons. President Ewiti, in conjunction with a large delegation from the league, appeared before the board and made a strong argument for the rejection of these licenses. It was urged in support of their position that it would be decidedly detrimental to the best interests of the Dis- trict to continue along the principal thor- oughfare of the city the bar rooms, which, they asserted, have so long been a disgrace to the capital. Their presence gave visitors a bad impression of tre city, and exerted an evil influence that could not be reckoned. The excise board did not reply, stmply Stating that the cases had not yet come be- fore them, and when they did, the league would be given ample opportunity to pro- test. What Attorney Madigan Says. Attorney Madigan, representing the ma- icrity of liquor dealers, heard of the hear- ing, and hurried to the District building. The hearing had been concluded when he arrived, but he nevertheless expressed him- self very forcibly upon the sfiuation. He said: “I regard this ex parte hearing as un- fair to the liquor dealers who are included in the protest. Most of them have been identified with Pennsylvania venue for many years, and it would be a great hard- ship to compel them to move away. I ad- mit that there are a large number of sa- leons on Pennsylvania avenue between the points named, but the street is one devoted exclusively to business, and the position of the authorities has always been to foster rather than limit saloons on such streets. The saloons in the residence por- tions of the District have “for the most part been obliterated. They have been driven to the business sections. Now it is proposed to drive them from _ there. Where are they to go? The business is recognized. “The District receives a large share of its revenue from liquor saloons, and I submit the saloon men have a grievance against those who are continually seeking to ruin them. I hear an effort will be made to re- duce the number of saloons this year. If the excise board (which, I am certain, is thoroughly capable) will be permitted to act upon tr own judgment in this matter I am sure uo one will have cause for com- plaint. The board has an individual per- scnal knowledge of every bar room in the city, and can be trusted to do its full duty. Understand, I do not defend those dealers who have persistently violated the law. They should be made to suffer the conse- quences of their unlawful acts. But I do represent the respectable dealer who nes ccenducted a lawful business, against the petty tyrannies of a class which, failing to accomplish its purpose by direct, fair methods, seek to undermine those who have been firm upholders of the iaws which were framed to regulate their business.” —— DEATH FROM ACCIDENT.

Edward Duvall, a young business man, died this morning between 2 and 3 o'clock at the Emergency Hospital from the effects of injuries received last night while returning from Cabin John bridge. Mr. Duvall, with Mr. P. M. Parke and two ladies, had been out riding as far as Cabin John, and in descending a heavy grade a short distance above Georgetown the car- riage in which they were riding was struck by a wagon driven by an unknown man. All the occupants of the carriage were thrown out, and Mr. Duvall struck his head on the ground with such violence as to tear the scalp open almost from ear to ear. The injured man was picked up in an unconscious condition and carried to the Emergency Hespital, where it was found that he was suffering from concussion of the brain. About three hours later he died. This morning the body was re- moved to the home of his father, No. 1521 Vermont averue, to await interment. ——.__ Committed to Jail. For knocking his wife Mary down stairs, threatening to cut her throat with a razor and acting in other ways unmanly and un- husbandlike John Armstead was today sent to jail for six months by Judge Kim- ball in the Police Court. ——— Receive Favorable Mention.
