BOARD Of VISITORS REPORT
Recommend Foor Year Term For
Naval Academy A Post
Graduate Course
Suggested.

The report Of the Board of Visitors
to the Naval Academy which Board
met here May 30, has at last been
given out although it is over three
months due.
On Saturday Secretary Morton re-
ceiyed the report of the Board of
Visitors to the Naval Academy, of
which Representative NJ J. Wade, Of
Iowa. is chairman, giving a full ac-
count of the recent inspection of the
institution by the board.
The board makes a number of i'm
.portant recommendations designed to
increase the efficiency of the naval
school. 1t is recommended that the
course of study, now three years and
half, be restored Immediately TO
four years, with an additional one
year postgraduate course; also, that
the Navy Department consider the
appointment of a special board for
the purpose Of o-ordinating gradu-
ate and undergraduate instruction in
the Navy, so that there may be no
waste of the opportunities for gradu-
ates TO study along the many special
lines essential in the service.
Other recommendations are that
the tour of duty of officers at the
:
that the age limit be materially re-
duced at the end of which time grad
yates shall be commissioned that the
teaching staff be substantially increas.
ed for the coming year that the regu-
lations for admission in force at West
Point be adopted for the Naval Acad-
emy, so that graduates of reputable
and we'll established schools may be
admitted by satisfactory certificates;
that the practice, now too common of
waiving physical defects on entrance
of examination be discontinued;
that as soon as practicable the entire
work of the Academy along the line
of physical training be organized on
more modern lines than now prevail.
The board renews the suggestion
made by the board of visitors in its
last annual report that the best inter
ests of the Naval Academy, as well as
the economical expenditure of money
in its support, demand that the board
of visitors be selected so that there
shall be continuity in its membership.
To that end the board recommends
legislation providing that members be
appointed for term of three years.
and that such appointments be adjust
cd so that the terms of four members
shall expire each year. In closing its
report the board says:
1--WE admire the patriotic devotion
to duty which. despite adverse con-
ditions at present existing on account
OF lack of room and equipment and
assistance, is molding the sons of the
poor and the SONS of the rich side by
side, with no distinction in opportu-
nifty, into efficient naval officers, quail
flied to bear the burdens which the
years may bring, and worthy to de-
fend the sacred honor of their coun-
try's flag.

suits are against John Crawford and
William Crawford, respectively, for
s., 600 each for false arrest and inn
prisonment. ihe third is against Mrs.
Martin Kelley for $3.50 claimed to be
due him for professional services rem
dered and for $500 damages.
In the declarations, which are SINH
lar, against John and William Craw

reasonable or probable cause the plain
tits alleged against him that he OBJ
tanned from them by false pretenses the
sum of 1887. GO and that they malic-
iously procured warrant from Justice
Grammar and caused his arrest. The
warrant was served, he says, and he
was taken into custody and impris-
oned for two days in the Central dis
trict station house, Baltimore, great
ly to his hurt, pain and mental an
guish and to the injury of his good
name, fame, credit and reputation.

him. The older brother rescued the
younger rs he was going down for
the last time and swan with him TO
the boat, placing him in safety.
Just as Walter had his hand ON the

his grip and sank beneath the surface
and was not seen to rise again. The
drowning was peculiarly sad, the
elder brother having given his life to
save the younger. The news of the
drowning was telephoned TO the boys

A Novel Sight.

Boating parties from Annapolis on the
Severn River yesterday were regaled
with a novel bathing spectacle. The
beautiful monitor Florida is anchored off
the Naval academy and about 50 mid
shipmen were bathing off the monitor.
They were expert swimmers and dived
over the gIard rail and from other points
around the ship. But the most novel
sight was that Of the middies shooting
the chute. Two chutes are located at
the sides of the monitor through which
ever and anon a body of man was
seen to emerge and then sink into the
water. 1t was "felIow your leader" and
shooting the chutes was kept up for some
of the on-lookers.
