 The character of this opinion will shape the future action of the navy department on the recommendation Of Rear Admiral James Sands, superiu- tendent of the naval academy. for the summary dismissal of Midshfpman Trenmore Cofi1n. IT,. for hazing and of Midshipman Warren A. vandervere for countenancing the practice.

 The first news of the action of the court was received here by a telephone message from Assistant States Attor- ney Barnett, who Is in Springfield. A messenger was sent to Hoch with the news and found him in the visitors cage talking with the last of his many wives, Mrs. Fisher Hoch. the sister Of the woman for whose murder he was sentenced to death.
 When he received the news Hoch be- came greatly excited and pressing his face against the wire netting he shout ed: You are liar, liar It is not true do not believe it." He quickly became more composed and asked for a vcrification of the report. When the messenger came back a second time Hoch took 1t very quietly. He did not betray the slightest emotion and said in his ordinary tone: "I have nothing to say; nothing at all. If 1t must come then it must. I have nothing more to say"
 The specific charge against Hoch and of which he was convicted was the killing of his wife, Mrs. Marie Weicker Hoch, by the administration of arr senlc.

Mann of South Carolina was appointed to advise with Southern Governors. Senators and Representatives regarding plans. Pres ident Roosevelt received the delegates to the White House today. He said
 About all can say to you is to ex- press my heart sympathy with and be- lief in your purpose. The time of my life when I was brought into closest touch with conditions similar to those which you are trying to remedy was while I was police commissioner in New York. At that time my closest friends and associate in all of my work was MT. Jacob Riis. with whose books and writings you are all more or less familiar. I was even more impressed than have been all along ever since l have been grown up with the fact that if you are going to do anything permanent f7r the average man yoa have got to begin before he Is man. The oldest man is almost impossible to reform. This applies pe- culiariy to those boys who tend to drift of into courses which mean that unless they are checked they will be formidable additions to sthe criminal population when they grow older
 T think people often completely misapprehend what are really impor- tant questions. The question of the tarif, currency or even the regulation of rates are all subordinate to the great basic moral movements which mean the preservation of the individ- ual In his or her relations to the home, because if the homes are all straight the State will care for itself"

 It has been truly said that the crowning glory of our race Is a luxu- riant head of hair.
 It used to be thought that this was one of the blessings which the gods bestow capriciously, and it is only recently that scientists have dis covered that its beauty is dependent upon the absence of a minute germ which flourishes in the hair follicles, where 1t destroys the life of the hair. To restore this life and kin the germs which cause the mischief is the mission of Newbro's Herpicide. Herpicide surely kills the germs, and is the best hair dressing on the market
