WANTS TO BE REINsrArED.
Former Midshipman williams Request
Refused by Capt. Sands.

Special Correspondence of The Star
ANNAPOLIS. Nd, December IS. 1905.
The late Midshipfnan j. r. Williams, who
was recently dismissed from the Naval
Academy curing the Meriwether trial. was
in Annapolis today. The. object of Mr.. Will
Jams visit was two-fold. Since he was dis
missed from the Naval Academy he has
been making an effort to be reinstated. To
this end he has seen Secretary of the Navy
Bonaparte and bore letter from him TO-
day to Admiral Sands. superintendent OF
the Naval Academy, bearing upon the for
mer nlidshipman's reinstatement This Adj
miral Sands refused to consider. and now
the only method to pursue is Tor Mfdship-
man Williams to be reinstated by an act
of Congress. He says he will take the mat
ter before the Senate and House commit
tees on naval affairs.
The other object of his visit was to get
permission to remove his effects from The
Naval Academy. He sought Captain Cal
vocoresses, commandant of midshipmen, to
request this permission. but 1t was en-
phatically denied him. Captain Colvorco-
resses told Mr.. Williams if he did not leave
the building and grounds of the Naval
request at once he would be elected,
Midshipman Williams then requested to
be elected, and it was done. An orderly was
called and Mr.. Williams was escorted from
the building through the grounds of the
Naval Academy to the main gate and was
put OUT of the academy.
He left here this afternoon for Washing

ANNAPOLIS NOTES.
,orresnondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence OF Inc star.
ANNAPOLIS, Nd. December Is, 1908.
The views of the Hlidshipmen on the pres
emit movement against hazlng were rather
freely ventilated in town by those who took
advantage of Saturday and Sunday liberty.
There, is no question that they are thor
oughly aroused over the superintendent
direct and forcfble methods.
A few have stated that number of the
midshlpmen are thinking of going to the
superintendent OF the board of investiga-
ton and announcing that they have all
had part in hazing. This would, of course,
necessitate the expulsion of all who took
the stand IL any are expelled. The threat
Is not taken very seriously, even among
the nlidshipmen themselves, however. The
same thing was said when the dismissal OF
Chaffee. Lof1and and Little was anticipat-
ed, but nothing at all materialized when
the dismissal really did occur.
1t also became clear from the talk of the
midshipmen that the general opinion is
that Cooper. who was stricken with
paralysis while In class room. is generally
believed to have been hazed The fact
that Cooper is not able to place an injury
or strain of any kind as a possible cause
of his condition seems to bear this theory
out. Medical men say that 1t is possible
that a hemorrhage of the brain (the pri-
mary cause of paralysis) might be induced
in q youth of seventeen by overstudy. but
they admit that 1t Is most unlikely.
Midshiprnen Kimbrough and Cooper were
both discharged from the hospital this
morning, and it is thought that they will
both be brought before the board of In
vestigation.
DR.. John Timothy Stone of Baltimore
favored Annapolis audiences on three occa-
sions Sunday. He preached a powerful
sermon in the morning at the Naval Acad-
envy chapel, the brigade of midshipmen and
many others being present, addressed the
Y. M. C. A. of Annapolis at it's hall in
the afternoon and the Naval Academy AS
ISOLATION in the evening.
The torpedo boat Stringham arrived in
Annapolis this morning from Solomans
Island having on board Commander H. H.
Hosley, who will have charge of the tow
pine Islands. Commander Hosley went to-
Washington for final Instructions. The
Dewey will start at the end of the week
in tow Of three auxiliary vessels of the
navy.
1t has been definitely arranged that the
midshipmen will row the first and second
crews of Georgetown University on either
the last Saturday In April or the first
Saturday in May.

Academy, filled Dr. Stones pulpit at Brown

COLLECTION OF COINS.
Some Very Rare From the Estate of
Claas Denekas.

The National Museum has just received a
fresh collection of coins from the estate Of
Claas Denekas of Washington, who re-
Gently died here. The collection consists
of about $50 pieces. gold. silver and copper,
with some quite rare and curious coins. The
collection has been loaned to the museum
and will be placed on exhibition as soon as
it can be arranged and catalogued. Mr.
Denekas, in addition to being quite a
wealthy man, had a fondness for collecting
cur;os OF many sorts, and his personal es-
tate contained quite number, but it is
only the coins that have found a temporary
resting place in the museum.
Mr. Denekas was known in Washington
as the originator of the compressed yeast
cake, and it was from this that he made
his money Older residents of the city will
remember very wildly the time when there
were no yeast cakes and when the house
keeper had to send to the nearest bakery
for yeast in a pitcher and time her making
of bread by the bakers readiness to furnish
the yeast. For the yeast would keep a COM
paratively short time, even on ice. Mr..
Denekas started the yeast-cake idea with
travelling outfit consisting OF a small hand
satchel. few dozen yeast cakes and Moth
ing else. He was engaged in hard fight,
too, for prior to that time there was what
was known as the .tcornmeal yeast cake"
principally sold by the country people in
the market. Sometimes this sort of solid
yeast would raise bread, and about as
often it would not, according to the way
the yeast cake happened to feel. Usually
the bread was sour too. People who had
tried this cornmeal experiment were nat
urally shy of anything In the shape of COM
pressed yeast. But Mr.. Denekas was con-
WINGED that he had a good thing, and he
kept doggedly at the business till people
found that compressed yeast would work
and demanded 1t in preference to the bak-
CRY arof faa dam rratsa hal, f.ra
ated. Mr.. Denekas' fortune was made and
he died a wealthy man.
