HE IS He Enlisted Today for a Term of Five Years. COMPETENT AND POPULAR FORMAL INDUCTION Se FRIDAY ‘The matter of the leadershtp of the United States Marine Band was settled to- day by Col. Heywood in the enlistment of W. H. Santelmann as a musician for five years and his designation as the leader of the band. Mr. Santelmatn is not new to the band, having formerly been connected with that organization, although for the last few years he has been a civilian mu- sician. He was favorably thought of by Col. Heywood some time ago, but he made no application, and, in fact, kept entirely out of the race until it was known Mr. Zimmermann, to whom the position W. H. Santelmann. was offered, had definitely declined to ac- cept it. Mr. Santelmann is a warm friend of Mr. Zimmermann, and would not take any step in his own behalf so long as there was a doubt as to the course of the former. Ww that the matter is settled and that a new leader has been appointed, it is be- lieved that the members of the band will be able to do their work with much more satisfaction and with muca better effect, and that under Mr. Sentelmann’s direc- tion the band will attain an excellence er than that manifested in several ar Good Business Qualifications. Mr. Santelmann pozsesses business qual- ifications of a high character, and it is be- Leved he will undoubtedly secure for the band a larger share of patronage from pri- vate parties than it has enjoyed for a long tme. When he was a member of the band be- fore he was a fearless and vigorous cham- pion of its interests, and in several contro- versies between the band and outside or- ganizations he proved a valuable represent- ative of it. The announcement of his sctection will be very gratifying to musicians generaliy in Washington, as well as the many friends Mr. Santeimara has among the citizens. Mr. Santelmann will take charge of the bané@ temorrow morning at 9 o'clock, and at guard mount on Friday morning will be formally introduced to the members as their !cader by Colonel Heywood. The New Lender's Career. Mr. Santelmann was born in the city of Hanover, Germany, and comes of a long line of musical ancestors. At a very early age he began the study of the violin under competent instructors, and when fourteen years old took up harmony and instru- mentation. Four years later he enlisted in a military band at Leipsic, serving three years, at the expiration of which time he entered the Conservatory of Music in that city for the purpose of completing his edu- cation. The years spent in Leipsic were most fruitful in opportunities for hearing the finest music and gaining experience in all branches of his profession. Immediate- ly after the close of his course in the con- servatory Mr. Santelmann accepted an en- gagereent to come to Philadelphia with a concert band, and one year later was re- ceived into the band of the United States Marine Corps. In 1889 he was placed in charge of the orchestral music of the band, and in this capacity became well known to the musicians and to the public of Wash- ington as John Philip Sousa’s assistant. In 1895 he withdrew from the Marine Band and organized an orchestra of his own, which met with signal success at the v: rious social events of the city at which it performed. Upon the opening of the Co- lumbia Theater, Mr. Santelmann was chosen leader of orchestra, and has filled that position to the present time. An ear- nest admirer of Mr. Sousa and believing in methods that tend to elevate both the social and professional standing of musi- clans, Mr. Santelmann has received many assurances of support from the old mem- bers of the band, and has reason to be- lieve that the better class of those who have retired to civil life in the past few years will be pleased to again don the uniform that they wore with honor and pride under John Philip Sousa’s leader- ship. While Mr. Santelmann has never been brought into prominence as a com- poser, a number of his compositions have achieved marked success wherever pe formed. Among these the most pretentious is an Ouverture Lebanon for military band, “The Dance Enchant; song, “Lover's Farewell,” and many lighter compositions arranged for orchestra have become de- servedly popular. > AWARDED DAMAGEs. Verdict for %5,000 Against a Local Railway Company. A jury in Criminal Court No. 1 today awarded Herry J. Rapp, a twelve-year-old newsboy, $5,000 in a suit instituted by him against the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company, now Capital Traction Company, to recover damages in the sum of $15,000. ‘The matter was on hearing for several days before Judge Cole. As stated in The Star, the morning of June 19, 185, the boy sustained injuries which resulted in the loss of a leg by being run over by a cable ear of the Washington and Georgetown; Company. Rapp, according to his version of the affair, boarded an east-bound car on Pennsylvania avenue between 29th and 30th streets to sell a newspaper to one of the passengers. The conductor, so he de- clared, ordered him off and he startéd to obey, but found that the train was run- ning too rapidly for him to alight with mately, = mes oon to eee aboard. @ conductor, however, as p charged, approached and made a motion to thrust or kick the boy from the car. The latter then jumped and was struck and run over by a car of the defendant company mov- In Honor of the Vice President aad Wife. at Dinner—Mre. Dawes Re- ceivers—Personals.

Great enthusiasm prevaiied at a meeting last evening of the Congress Heights Cit- inens’ As: tion over the action of Judge Cox ia the matter of the injunction pro- ceedings filed against the Capital railway. The attendance was larger than at any meeting held for a long time. Numerous speeches were made. A resolution was adopted to hold at an early date a mass meeting, to which all citizens interested ere to be invited, the object being to petition the District Com- missioners to extend the time heretofore granted, so that it can be demonstrated by the owners of the Brown system of electric propulsion that it is a success. During the discussion a proposition was made by one speaker, and indorsed by a number of others, that the association call in a body on the Commissioners and urge them to graut further time for the purpose above stated, but this was opposed by Mr. Randle, who stated that the Commission- ers are already thoroughly familiar with all the facts, and he believes they will do what is right in the premise The action of the Commissioners in con- demning the Brown system was consid: ered the more incomprehensible since they approved the air motors whica it was pro- ; posed to place on another line in the city, but which have never been put into practi- cal service.
