Judge COx's Decision I'm the Case OF
Arthur Cromwell.

Judge COx's Decision I'm the Case OF
Arthur Cromwell.
Judge Cox today decided that where a
sentence Of Imprisonment Is commuted to
one Of 80 many days, months or years Of
actual imprisonment, the convict must
serve the full term Of the reduced sentence
The case was that Of Arthur Cromwell
who last week petitioned for his discharge
from Jail through a writ Of habeas corpus
Cromwell plead guilty the 31st Of last
March to violating the policy laws, in the
Police Court, and was sentenced by Judge
Miller to pay a fine of $500 and to be i'm
prison ed In jail 364 days. In default Of the
fine he was to serve $50 days additional.
The sentence was commuted by the Pres
ident to six months actual Imprisonment.
1t Is provided by the statutes that from
the sentences Of convicts there shall be de-
Quoted hve days during each and every
month OF the first two years Of the i'm
pr1sonment-provided, Of course, the con-
Victs earn such reduction of their sem
tences by good behavior in prison.
On the 1st instant Cromwell had served
nve months Imprisonment He therefore
petitioned Tor his release, contending that,
having served five months in prison. and
having earned thirty Gays because OF his
good penavior in prison, he had to all in
ter.s and purposes served an Imprisonment
or six months, and was therefore entitled to
MS release. Judge Cox, however, held to
the contrary, deciding that the President
In committing Cromwell's sentence To sly
months actual Imprisonment meant that
the prisoner should serve six months. ex-
ciuslVe or any and all deductions. Cromwell
was, therefore. remanded to 5ail to COM

Admiral Walker May Command the
Asiatic Station.
EHE SQUADRON TO Be INCREASED
Significant Changes Of Program
to Be Made.
w H AT COS SIPS s AY

One Of the latest naval rumors is that the
Asiatic squadron Is to be largely increased
and that Admiral Walker is to be placed IN
command. The execution of such a plan
would involve important changes in the
present naval program. Admiral Walker.
who has just returned from Honolulu. is
under orders to relieve Capt. Phythian as
superintendent of the Naval Academy. He
ls now at one Of the Virginia springs When
here a week ago he said he expected to
take charge Of the Naval Academy in u
few weeks-at any rate before the beginning
OF the next school session in October
The relief of Acting Admiral Carpenter,
commc nding the Asiatic feet, 80 soon after
his arrival would be construed by his
friends as a serious reflection on his abil-
ity. 1t Is said that. Admiral Walker wants
the command. and II Is common gossip
that he invariably gets what he wants. In
fact. he is known as the Officer with the
best pull in the navy" In the absence Of
secretary Gresham ard Secretary Herbert,
who would have to decide such a question,
II Is impossible to make a positive state
ment In the matter. There are good rea-
sons for the belief. howey er, that no change
In the Asiatic command is contemplated,
ana that Admiral Walkers orders to the
academy will stand.
