CONDITION NOT DUE TO HAz1Ne
The Navy Department Investigates
the Craven Case.

There is nothing in the records Of the
Navy Department to show that Henry
Smith Craven, the boy who was commit
ted to BloomingdaIe Asylum yesterday by
Justice Dykeman at White Plains, y. Y,
had been- hazed at the Naval Academy
while he was cadet there.
When Secretary Long read in the morn
ing papers the report that young Cray-
ems madness was caused by hazing at
Annapolis he ordered all the papers re-
Iating 70 the boys appointment as a na-
val cadet to be brought TO him. These
showed that Craven was designated as a
cadet-at-large by President Mckinley on
May 20. 1895, but was not appointed to the
\ academy until June 20, 1899
Craven barely passed the entrance ex-
animation at Annapolis His record was
almost a tie with that Of another can
didate from his district. :he son Of a navy
officer ard the appoir tnent was at first
given to the latter When the papers
reached the Navy Department It was
found that Craven's record was slightly
higher than that Of his rival and the
order appointing the other candidate was
revoked and Craven was admitted He
was at that time confined at Johns Hop
kins Hospital, and upon the statement
Of physicians he was granted sick leave
Of eight months
At the expiration Of that time he was
still unable to take up work at the Acad-
envy and ne was given An additional sick
leave Of six months on March s 1901.
he resigned, realizing that his health
would not permit him TO undertake the
couTs@ at the Academy. He was at An
napOlis for but a short time: in fact.
nh Ia
examination, and the story that he was
hazed is pronounced as absolutely un-
true
Navy Department officials assert that
the young mans condition vas brought
On by oveTstudy.
Craven is a grandson of the late Com
r5odore TUnis Augustus Craven. - s. n.
and nephew OF Mrs. Hackett, wife of
the Assistant Secretary Of the Navy. who
was the daughter of Commodore Craven.
Among the papers in the case is a let
Ger from surgeon at JohA= Hopkins Hos
pital, Baltimore, dated September %. 1899
saying that young Craven was under
treatment there and could not enter on
the academic course An endorsement Of
the Surgeon General Of the Navy saws
that Craven was suffering from a nerv-
Gus trouble, but had no chronic disease.
Secretary Long said today that he re-
membcred the case very wei. Had Cra-
ven been il-treated at Annapolis I would
surely have heard of it he said. The
boy was delicate and he was obliged to
study very hard to pass the examina-
tion to enter the Academy From what I
know Of the case and from what the Off
cial records show, I cannot believe that
his present condition was due to hazing
at the Academy 1t was q cruel thing to
say that he became insane from ilI-treat-
TiIent there"

NEW YORK. July I6-Ex-Serator
Charles a. Towne IS in New York organ
izing company to handle the by-product
of his oil wells in Texas While asserting
that he is cut Of politics for good, MI
Towne says that ne has kept track of the
political situation and feeling in ths West.
In my opinion ex-senator Hin. Of New
York, viii be the next candidate for Pres

| believe, be a very rsactonary one In
fact I believe the party VIII split in 1854
and Mr.. Bryan Will lead a third party fac
tion in support Of the issues 70 which he is
still loyal
The feeling among Democrats through
out the West is that they want to win
and they don't care rap what sort OF
platform they win on. There Is a strong
feeling in that section IN favor of the
nomination of Mr. Hill, or some other
Eastern man and the adoption Of plat

The free silver question is absolutely
dead in the West It will not only not
be an issue in 1sO4 but I do not believe
it viii be mentioned in the Democratic
platform or campaign. Our position on
free silver in 1886 and I990 was u1isul der
stood We were not demanding more
market and profit for the silver mined,
but more money for the country to keep
up prices. God, in His wise pryideuce,
has provided a vast increase in the. supply
of gold, and today there is more money
in the country than there would have
been If the gold supply had remained sta
tionary and the niuts had been opened to
the free coinage Of silver
So long as the present condition con-
tinues or the supply Of gold continues TO
increase, there can be no successful or Sc
Ticus demand for the free coinage Of sill
yer Certainly that demand cannot again

and he IS hard man to down. but I do
not believe he can again be the candidate

THE BARKER CASE REVIVED.
Mr. Keller to Take Steps to Prove
His Innocence.
The CIergynan's Attorney Says the

Anxious for 81 Hearing in Court

Anxious for a Hearing in Court
NEW YORK, July 16--Interest in the
case Of Thomas G. Barker. who was re-
Gently convicted Of shooting Rev. John
Keller, Of Arlington. y. J.. with intent to
Kill for an alleged assault upon Mrs. Bar
ker, is soon to be revived. Barker has
commenced to serve his term in prison
Joseph Parker, jr-. the attorney, an
nounced today that Rev. Mr. Keller would
in a few days take the necessary steps to
prove himself innocent of the charges
made by Mrs. Keller and which actuated
his fenow-townsman to attempt to take
his life Just what form this action would
take could not be learned today, but Mr.
Parker said that within a few days he
would make public the plans Of his client.
1t is said that the matter viii be set
tied in a court. Mrs John Sumner who
is probably the most intimate of Mrs
Barkers friends. said today that the
prisoners wife viii positively refuse to
testify except in q civil court She Will
not go before any ecclesiastical body to
tell her story. for any such jury would
be prejudiced against her and eager to
prove Keller innocent, said Mrs. Sum
ner-
Mr. Parker, however, maintains that
Mrs Barker's charges against the clergy
man have not been made in any form
which would justify an action at law by
his client for defamation Of character
He added:
''Tne question of Mr. KelIers guilt did
not get into evidence and the only way in
which the charges were made was in
communication BY Mrs Barker to her
husband"
The friends of the Barkers say, how
ever. that Mrs. Barker viii under no cir
c'lHstances seek refuge in any such tech
nicality and are emphatic in declaring
that she, as wei as they. desires to have
the matter sifted thoroughly by the prop
ct tribunal.

Light Scattering Showers in South
Dakota and Minnesota

ST. PAUL. Mimi. July 16.-Light scat
tering showers fell in South Dakota and
Minnesota last night and brought some
relief to the whitening grain crops

the international boundary, where the
temperature was hundred and scaIded

rains and overfiows of three weeks ago
Otherwise North Dakota crops are in
good condition.
In South Dakota and Minnesota wheat
is damaged 10 to 25 per cent Yester-
days heat wrought more damage than all
previous drouEhts. This morning the
temperature shows little change. but the
showers have undoubtedly checked heat
loss. Chinch bugs continue to destroy
crops the fields having turned white from
the ravages Of the pest.
