How Naval officers Are Tried.
From LesIie,s Weekly.


A trial in the United States Navy
must partake Of one of three forms:
a. court of inquiry. a general court
martial, or a summary court martial.
A court of inquiry or a general court
martial can be ordered only by the
President of the United States. the
Secretary of the Navy, or the COM
mander- in-chief of the American fleets
on foreign stations. The form known as
the court of inquiry is employed ex-
ciusively for the investigation of the
conduct of commissioned officers, while
the general court-martial embraces IN
vestigations Of the conduct Of officers
and also the trial of enlisted men
charged with murder or other crimes.
or serious breaches of discipline, such
as an assault upon an officer. A sum
mary court, which may be ordered at
any time by the commanding officer
of any ship or station. corresponds to
the police court on shore, and deals
with minor offenses of all kinds of
which the enlisted men may be guilty.
These three forms have been so out
lined possibly as to give the impression
that each has distinct functions. and
yet. in reality q court of inquiry is
presumably merely preliminary to a
general court-martial. In word, II
may be said to correspond to a grand
jury on shore. and just as a. grand
jury reviews the facts in any case
brought TO their attention, to deter
mine whether or not the circumstances
make IL justifiable to bring the person
or persons implicated before the bar OF
justice. so the naval court Of inquiry
insures a competent preliminary exa-
mination and enables an officer to
present a defense and. If possible to
puncture some of the charges made
against him without having been sub
jected to the stigma of a court martial.
Contrary to an impression which has
gained considerable credence the mere
fact of the investigation by court or
inquiry Of the career OF an officer or
Of his conduct on any particular oc-
casion does not OF itself imply any
reproach. Indeed. not frequently
court of inquiry is convened. as In the
case of Rear-Admiral Schley. at the
special request Of some officer who

JUST TO SEE THE PRESIDENT.
tremendous Demand for Tickets to
Army and Navy Game.

tremendous Demand for Tickets to
Army and Navy Game.
Philadelphia, Nov. 27.-Prepar atoms
for the army and navy football game
on Franklin Field on Saturday, which
will be witnessed by President Roose-
welt, are rapidly nearing completion
Never before in the history of football
IN this city has there been such a de-
mand for tickets. The enormous de-
mand for tickets this year is due to
the announcement that President
Roosevelt will attend the game. The
university authorities say that appli-
cations for tickets from Pennsylvania
alone have been fully 10000 above the
seats at the disposal of the athletic
association.
President Roosevelt will arrive here
saturday morning, accompanied by a
number OF other government officials.
During the first half of the contest the
President will sit with the followers
OF one of the academies and during
the ten minutes intermission between
the halves he will be escorted across
the field and will occupy seat with
the sympathizers of the other academy
for the remainder of the game, The
President will return to Washington
Immediately after the contest.

MAIL SERVICE ABUSES.
Some of the Things Discussed by
the Postmaster General

the Postmaster General
Washington. Nov. 27-In his annual
report. the Postmaster General dis
cusses again the abuses of second class
mail matter. He says: The second
class matter constitutes nearly so per
cent. of the weight of the entire mail
of the country, and yet. while the
postal revenue for the last fiscal year
was Sill, 631, 1913. the second class mat
ter paid only $4,294.44 of that amount.
That is, while making three-tifths of
the mail in weight. it furnished only
one twenty eighth part of the revenue.
The TRANSPORTATION of the mails is paid
for chiefly by weight. The enormous
disproportion of return to cost in sec
ond class matter is thus apparent at a
glance.
The point to which the Postmaster
General wants to draw attention par
ticularly is that vast amount OF
matter is carried second class which
does not properly belong in that class.
The law is evaded.
What the Postmaster General has to
say about the free delivery system mas
been covered in previous dispatches.
With respect to the Ocean Mail SER
vice the Postmaster General says: IN
der the act of 1891, to provide for ocean
mail service between the United States
and foreign ports and to promote COM
merce six contract routes for ocean
mail service are now in operation at
cost of $1,44S,968 per annum. The latest
contract went into effect Nov. /, 1900
and was with the Oceanic Steamship
Company for carrying the mails from
San Francisco to sydney New South
Wales, calling at Honolulu, Page Pago,
and Auckland. This is the only service
under the act on the Pacific. Its in
ducements have not yet proved suf-
ficient to elicit proposals for a direct
contract service between the Pacific
coast and the Orient. The Importance
of a more direct, speedy. and regular
communication with the Philippine ISL
ands will be universally recognized.
THE volume of money order trans
actions during the past five years has
increased So per cent. During the last
fiscal year the receipts of this branch
| maintained. for the 305 working days,
| an average OF increase over the pre-
vious year of $39,0"0,000 The number
| of money order Offices in operation at
the close of the fiscal year was 30.529,
a net increase of $50 over the previous
year.
The railroads make a good thing in
the transportation of the mails. There
was paid them for this service during
the last fiscal year s33, SS1, 800.
The revenue derived by the Postoffice
Department from all sources during
the last fiscal year was Sill ,631 1913. 39
and the expenses were $115,039, 607 .09,
leaving a deficit of S3,923,727.4s.

The Kings Champion.
From Parsons Magazine

That the duties of the office of Keep
er of Britain's Honor are not onerous
is shown by the fact that they are
only performed once in a Sovereign's
life time-during the banquet which
Immediately follows the coronation
ceremony. As an example of how their
appearance is viewed by onlookers,
we will quote, says a writer in Pear

of Friday, the goth of July, 1921. After
describing the scenes of the banquet

his mobiles arrayed in their various
robes of state (the crowned King car

THE first course having been re-

called to the bottom of the hall by a
long and cheerful flourish of trumpets.
The great gates were instantly thrown
wide open, and the champion made his

Dymoke was accompanied on his right

appeared. He was ushered within the
limits of the hall by two trumpeters,
with the arms of the Champion on
their banners, by the Sergeant Trum-
peter. and by two Sergeants- farms

TABLOID RESTAURANTS OPEN.
Compressed Food Served TO Curious
New Workers and BrookIynites.

compressed fOOd served to Curious
New Workers and BrookIynites.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Brooklyn now revels in the distinc-
ton of possessing the second tabloid
restaurant ever established. The first
began it's career in Manhattan a few
weeks ago. A tabloid restaurant, il
should be understood, is a restaurant
where food is served in condensed
form-where the patron may. take a
square meal in a lozenge that NAV be
swallowed at a single gulp. Or he
can have his dinner in a capsule, il
he prefers it that way. But most pa
irons prefer their food lozenges dilut-
ed with water-so it will last longer
perhaps.
The tabloid restaurant was made
possible by the recent invention OF
compressed foods a few years ago
Compressed foods were supposed to be
desirable only as an emergency ration,
but some enterprising individual found
that the compressed foods would ap-
peal to certain portion of the public
even where there was an abundance
of restaurants of the ordinary type.
Hence tn tabloid restaurant. The place
is on Fulton street, almost directly
opposite the bridge entrance.

very slight inclination to the axis of

standpoint the flying machine seems
quite within our reach. But before

In this way the subject may be

On the affirmative side only this: that

no one will ever fly to any great hight
or TO any considerable distance until
some metal or alloy is discovered which
will combine strength and lightness
in far greater degree than any metal
or alloy at present known to us. There
are limitations, too, at every turn upon
what a machine can do. The speed
with which a rotating apparatus Of
any sort can turn has its limit. The
larger its size, the fewer turns IL can

Let us consider the central axis as at

Months.
Louisville, Ky. Nov. 27.--After be-
ing offered an evening newspaper,
which said his books were under cx-
animation by expert accountants.
stuart X. Young, city treasurer of
Louisville, this evening went to the
rear of A warehouse at Sixth and
Nelson streets, and committed suicide
by shooting himself behind the right
car with a pistol.
A great sensation was created late
this afternoon when the last edition of
one evening paper appeared with a
story, in substance, that accountants
we're at work on the books of the re-
firing city treasurer, Stuart r. Young,
and that it was reported that discre-
RANCHES had been found in his accounts.
Immediately the friends of Mr.. Young
began to look for him, not believing
the reports. Shortly after p. m. Mr..
Young was seen at the ladies' entrance
of the Louisville Hotel on Main street.
where he lived with his bride of few
months. Two newsboys, who knew
Mr.. Young, gan up and said:
Mr.. Young, don't YOU want a pa
per? It's got your picture in it"
One glance at the double-column
headlines told Mr.. Young why the pa
per had printed a. double-column pic
ture of him. Instead of entering the
hotel he walked down Sixth street to-
wards the river, the newsboys following
him on the other side of the street.
Just after passing Nelson street Mr..
Young turned off between some box
cars. The boys were afraid to follow
him any further, and returning TO the
Louisville Hotel described Mr.. Young s
actions to kid" Johnson, a hickman
whose carriage stand is in front of
the hotel. Johnson was acquainted
with Young. and going in the direction
given by the newsboys finally found
Mr.. Young lying face downward in the
cinders, his right arm under him. See
ing a bullet hole behind Mr.. Young $
right ear, Johnson turned the body
over. Then he saw a. pistol in Mr..
Young 5 manu. hlle was eAliiiS1. nc
body was removed to an undertaking
esta blishment under orders of the cor
oner, for an inquest.
Stuart r. Young was IS years old and
one of the most prominent men in
Louisville. He was a graduate OF
Princeton University, a son of Col
Bennett H. Young. prominent lawyer
and former Confederate soldier of
Louisville. and a brother of Lawrence
Young, of Chicago, president of the
Washington Park Jockey Club. He
married last July Miss Bessie Wy
mond. one of the most beautiful wo-
men in Kentucky. and daughter of l..

Four years ago Mr.. Young was elect
cd city treasurer and under the law,
was Ineligible for reelection. his sue
