A New Departure,

Since the admission of the new
fourth class of midshipmen at the
Academy and the arrival of Rear Ad-
miral James H. Sands as superinten-
dent of the institution. there has been
new departure in the matter of
conduct grades. Each month now
the list of names of midshipmen who
for some breach of the interior regu-
lations and discipline are on the sec.
ond or third conduct grade and there
fore restricted, is posted On the bulle-
tin board at the guard house just in
side the Maryland avenue entrance to
the Academy Under this system,
when a MILDLY does not keep mis-
date his fair friend or friends in
Annapolis can easily find if he really
is OH the restricted list by visiting
the guard house. This, however, il
not considered the reason for the au
thorities for posting the unlucky one
names so conspicuously.

The young man says he was working

his ship and redeem his endangered
honor. He says that his actions are
as unaccountable TO himself as 60
others. He claims that he wandered
away from New York after gaining
twenty-four hours leave. and was
practically in a trance until he recov-
cred his senses several days thereafter,
when he realized at once the serious
ness,of his situation His first thought
then was TO secret himself until he
had made enough money TO return 60
his ship of his own accord.
Midshipman Jackson is prepared 10

his father, II found unmistakable
evidence that from gthe time he left

THE JIU-JITSU STYLE WON.
Naval Academy Japanese Instructor
Demonstrates Wrestling
Methods.
HE TACKLED TOM FRISBEF. OF
ASHEVILLE, N. C.
The Contest Was Nip and Tuck and
Was Witnessed By a
Large Crowd.

That form of wrestling known as
Jiu Jitsu that has been recently intro.
dueed in instruction of gymnastics
at the Naval Academy, evidently
counts for something.
At Asheville, n. o., ON Friday
night. Prof. Ono. Japanese instructor
Of jiu-j -jitsu at the Naval Academy.
met Tom Frisbee. of Madison county.
N. O., in mixed style wrestling
bout, Frisbee being permitted TO use
catch as -catch-can methods, while
the Jap had to stick exclusively to
jiu. iitsu. Two falls out of three
counted, and the jiu-jItsu style won.
The contest was spirited and thorough
ly enjoyed by large crowd.
The American had the advantage in
weight, tipping the beam at 305
pounds. Frisbee is 6 feet 51S inches
tall and is very much at home at
catch as -catch-can. Prof. Ono weighs
207 pounds and stands feet 81 in
hes high. He is a quick, strong man,
but against Frisbee in strength he
did not seem to be in it. The contes {
was better one than the match be-
tween George Bothner and Prof.
Higashi at the Grand Central Palace
last winter, and may be said to have
been an excellent test for the japanese
style of graphing. Ono took two
straight falls, but not without a
struggle. He did not seem to be
afraid of the American, who is very
strong.
The Jap tried for strangle hold at
the start, but Frisbee was caution and
waved him aside by making a dive
for the Jap's legs. Then Frisbee tried
for a waist hold and succeeded in
bringing the Jap down. Ono did not
stay on the floor.very long, however,
for by making nm effort TO catch Fris-
bee by the neck he got on top. Ii was
nip and tuck for one hour. Frisbee s
weight and his ability to break some
of the vicions holds that the Jap ap-
piled aided him in avoiding danger
But after the hour Frisbee began to
show signs of fatigue. He fell upon
his stomach at every opportunity, but
guarded his neck and head by cover
ing this part of his body with his
arms Finally, after one hour and
twenty minutes Ono got a firm stran-
gle on Frisbee. The latter wiggled
and squirmed, but was unable to get
away and was thrown.
Alt6F All luleTHisslou OF ten min
utes the match was resumed. The
tossing and buffetting that Fiisbee
receiyed in the previous bout took
all of the starch out Of him, and it
did not take the Jap long to gain the
next fall. The pair went at each
other with rush. Frishee tried to
get body hold, but in doing so over.
looked Ono's right arm, The Jap got
this arm around Frisbee's neck and
applying the strangle again had no
trouble in capsizing the American on
both shoulders. 1t required only
thirty-five seconds for Ono to do the
job.

Today the Russian and JapanFe

the Russians to obtain an immediate
disclosure of her price Of ending the

Tomorrow or Friday, it is believed,
Japan's peace terms or the question Of

up. 1t is estimated that if basis for
negotiating peace be found it will re-
quire about five weeks time to perfect
and sign the treaty.
Officials in Washington believe the
conference will bring peace, and it is
thought Japan will not attempt to
close China's commercial doors TO
other nations. China, it is stated, in
order to mollify Japans annoy vance,
