The idea of the District Naval Reserves
was suggested by John Rhoades, a former
seaman, in 1896, and steps were imme-
diately taken to put the idea into execu-
tion. At the last session of Congress a
bill was passed providing for the organiza-
ton OF the Reserves, and the enlistment of
four divisions of not more than loo men
each. Recruiting was then commenced.
Congress appropriated the sum of 81. $50
for expenses during the current year. The
transfer of the Fern from the regular
service to the District of Columbia vas
made last October. The boat was to have
been sold by the Government at Norfolk,
Va, on the 7th of October When this
was learned by the officers of the District
OF Columbia Naval Battalion letter was
secured from the District Commissioners,
signed and indorsed by prominent citizens,
asking that the Fern be assigned Tor the
use Of the Naval Reserve. Captain Dapray,
on behalf of General Harries who was
absent. endorsed the letter and urged taht
the request be granted. Lieutenant Sher-
burne G. Hopkins, by authority of Captain
Dapray, presented the letter to Secretary
Long, who gave the necessary order di-
recting that the boat be turned over to
the District naval militia. The Fern was
then brought to Washington by the Navy
Department.
The Fern was the first United States
vessel to enter Havana Harbor after the
destruction of the Maine, February 10,
1895. 1t was on this boat also that the
Maine court of enquiry sat while engaged
in its investigation.

FREDERICK KENYON
DECLARED TO Be SANE
Justice Bradley Criticises PO-
lice Court Methods.
Says That the Treatment of the
Defendant Was Unjust.
He Had Never known of n Grosser
Outrage on the Rights of
n Citizen.

The investigation concerning the mental
condition of DR.. Frederick C. Kenyon, for
merly employed at the Department of Agri-
culture, which was held yesterday before
Justice Bradley, of the Supreme Court OF
the District, sitting in probate court, de-
yeloped very surprising condition of af-
fairs in relation to the treatment of per-
sons suspected of being of unbalanced
mind. Justice Bradley was severe in his
criticism of the Police Court Judge, Ivory
C. Kimball, before whom the first hearing
was held. In disposing of the matter JUS
tice Bradley, after reviewing the testimony
in the case. said:
LAS a citizen, and during all my expe-
rience as a judge in the criminal courts Of
the District, l have never known of a
grosser outrage upon the rights of citi-
zen than was practiced in this instance.
There was no justification for the proceed
ings,"
Justice Bradley also took occasion to refer
to the way in which the matter was treat
ed in the Police Court. When Dr. Kenyon
was arrested he was first charged with
misconduct but this charge was later
changed to disorderly conduct, and at a
sun ldltI Sld6t VI lliC tuqulIg " INSANITY
From the evidence, Justice Bradley said
there was not the slightest ground for the
charge preferred against DR.. Kenyon, and
if there had been, he maintained that it
should have been disposed of in the Police
Court However, although he was not
found guilty OF disorderly conduct, or of
insanity, still, Justice Bradley said, he was
sent to jail.
Dr. Kenyon was arrested about ten days
81. ~ ~, IL, ba
he was sent to jail and from there he was
taken TO the Government Hospital for the
Insane. Yesterday morning he was brought
from that institution to the City Hall,
where he conducted the proceedings in his
own behalf. His manner in doing this
was q surprise to all who were present. AS
a cross examiner of witnesses, DR.. Kenyon
proved himself an adept. Not once during
the entire examination did he ask what
might have been considered an unneces-
sary question. AT no time did he lose his
temper or appear in the slightest hurt or
even surprised at the answers given by the
witnesses.
Another remarkable feature of the
proceedings was the substance of and
the manner in which DR.. Kenyon
delivered a statement in his own
behalf when he took the witness stand.
Some of the witnesses, especially those
with whom he had worked at the Depart
ment of Agriculture. were quite severe in
their way of criticising his actions and
his table manners, and 1t was the impress
sion that DIR. Kenyon would retaliate. He
did not think it necessary to make any
denial of the great majority of these state
ments, and when. he did refer to any of
them it was in a calm and dignifled man
ner.
DIR. Kenyon was arrested at the instance
of Andrew Geddes, Chief Clerk of the De-
partmeni of Agriculture. on the ground
that he was annoying to the officials and

half of the District DR.. Kenyon asked to
be sworn, and made a statement in his
own defence. He reviewed at length his
connection with the Department OF Agri-
culture, relating the incidents which led
to his being charged with being insane
He concluded his statement by saying:
Il am very much astounded by the
grave charges brought against me- of us
ing violent and threatening language
People who declare that l have been vio-
lent, 1 respectively submit, should have
their mental conditions investigated.
Justice BradIey's Comments.
In disposing of the matter Justice
Bradley reviewed all the material testi-
mony offered to show that Dr. Kenyon
was of unsound mind. The defendant,
Justice Bradley said, was accused of using
violent language.
But when specifically interrogated."
remarked the court. ''the witnesses admit
ted that the violent language consisted of
the statement to a typewriter, I want this
typewriting done, instead of If you please.
| would like you to do this typewFiting'
The threatening language was couched in
ordinary business phraseology, in busi-
ness letter. There was nothing in the
world that could detect that would indi-
cate threatening language.
As another indication Of the insanity of
Dr. Kenyon, Justice Bradley went on to
say, he had claimed that he was enti-
tied to a certain position. This was de-
MED by the Chief Clerk of the department
The court thought this Indicated merely a
misunderstanding between the Chief Clerk
and DR.. Kenyon. Then DR.. Kenyon pre-
sented vouchers for five days pay. These
were not recognized.
And yet" said the court, this was
treated as an insane act, although it ap-
pears from the testimony that after that
time DR.. Kenyon was in the service Of the
department and received pay When he
persisted in visiting the department after
being requested to desist he was arrested.
But at all times he conducted himself in a
quiet, gentlemanly manner.
There was not the slightest circum-
stance that justified the charge of disor-
derly conduct being entered against him.
He was first accused OF misconduct This
was changed to disorderly conduct and
later TO insanity. Although not found
guilty OF disorderly conduct, or. for that
matter. of insanity, he was sent to jail"
After referring to what he designated as
the impropriety, TO say the least. OF the
Police Courts action, Justice Bradley went
on to say that throughout the hearing Dr.
Kenyon had evidenced careful, thoughtful
consideration Of the matter at issue The
most carefully educated lawyer at the bar
could not have conducted case better
than had DR.. Kenyon. the court thought.
Justice Bradley stated that the man had
exhibited perfect coolnees and fairness
and more than ordinary intelligence.
When the matter was finally disposed
of and Dr. Kenyon was once again free,
he was congratulated by his friends who
were present.

Testimony Of Experts in the Science
of Agriculture.
Its Henrini.s Hereto Resume
in September.

With yesterdays session the Industrial
Commission closed the hearings at its
headquarters in this city until September.
The work of the Commission, however,
will not close, as several sub Commissions
will visit different parts of the country
and make special Investigations. Among
these Will be included the grain elevator
trusts of the Northwest, the gold and sill
yer mining industry of the far West and
Eastern manufacturing. Besides this
number of specialists have been engaged
for the summer to prepare data along
other lines.
Expert testimony was given to the Com
mission yesterday by A. c. True, Director
of Experimental Stations of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and Prof. George K.
Holmes, Assistant Statistician of the same
department. Mr.. True has made per-
sonal study of the agricultural situation
of the country, having visited for this
purpose every State and Territory in TIE
Union, besides going to Europe TO see
what has been done there in the way OF
advancement in agricultural methods. He
found wherever he went that agricul-
tural education was being fostered and
Improved methods OF. farming had been in
troduced. An agricultural college has
been established in Egypt recently, and
the Sultan of Turkey is now looking for
information on the subject for the purpose
of establishing such school for his sub
jects. In the United States education
along these lines is progressing rapidly.
There are three principal agencies for
agricultural improvement here-the agri-
cultural college, of which there are a
number now in operation; the experiment
stations, and the Department of Agricul-
ture.
Under the land grant law OF 1862 land
grant colleges have been established in
every State and Territory except Alaska.
In many instances, however, these schools
are simply departments of the State uni
versities. In Wisconsin there is dairy
department in the university, which has
sent out 500 butter and milk specialists,
besides over 1000 graduates skilled in
making butter on the farm.
