Prosecutors Claim TO Have 0athsrst
Some Important Evidence.

Mt. Vernon, o., Nov. 3.---Bumed be-
peath culvert. zoo feet from the spot
where Stuart Pierson. the Kenyon col
lege student. was ground to death by
q train, the authorities have found
three lengths of blood stained rope
and a wad Of absorbent cotton, also
saturated with blood. County Prose.
cutor Stillwell expresses the firm be-
lief that the boy was chloroformed,
the cotton saturated, bound across the
tracks. The authorities believe that
the cotton was removed later. and the
boy left stupefed. On these grounds
the prosecutor will carry the case to
the grand jury on November IL. Pros
ecutor Stillwell state that several per.
sons are under surveillance in connec-
ton with The case and that they may
be taken into custody before the con.
clusion of the inquest.
Mt. Vernon. o., Nov 4.--Newbold L.
Pierson, of College HILL Cincinnati,
father OF the dead student, took the
witness stand in the Pierson inquest
and II was after o'clock when he
was allowed TO go. He was given a
most rigid examination and was COM
PEELED to describe the custom which
fraternitios use when initiating candi-
dates. He testified that his son left
The college alone and that he was pos
Tive that he was not tied on the track.
He said that the members Of the
Delta Kappa EPSILON fraternity re-
mained at the college almost half an
hour after the boy had been sent to
the bridge before they went after him,
and for that reason ho knew that his
son was not tied. He took all the
blame for shipping the body to Gin
clnnau by special train without first
notifying the coroner.
At the afternoon session the men,
bers of the Delta Kappa EPSILON fra
ternity who were in Gambler Satur-
day night and who had charge of Pier
sons initiation. were examined. They
stated that Pierson had been ordered
to go 10 the railroad bridge alone and
that he was not led there by anyone.
They said they went after the boy
about half hour afterward and found
his mangled body on the bridge.

There Seems to Be a Scarcity
of Men in That Branch
OF the Navy.
THE eNoINEER-IN- CHIEFS REPORT
We're We Suddenly Plunged in War
the Navy Would Find Itself in
q Serious Condition.
He Says the Younger officers Must
Be Given Engineering Duty and
Be Made To Realize Their
Responsibility.

Washington, Nov. 3.-Rr. Adm. Chas.
w. Rae, engineer-in-chief of the Unit
ed States navy. dn his annual report,
calls attention ito the critical condi-
tion of engineering in the navy" and
points to the explosion on the gun
boat Bennington in San Diego harbor,
which he says most forcibly empha-
sizes the necessity OF serious and i'm
mediate attention. Speaking of the
operations of the personnel bill which
merged the corps of engineers into
the line of the navy, he says whole
corps OF specialists was virtually abol-
ished and their duties transferred TO
the line. As all midshipmen at the
navy yard had been given excellent
practical instruction in engineering
he adds. no examination other than
that required for promotion was de-
manded of them for qualifying for the
performance of the joint duties i'm
posed by the personnel act.
lowing to the absence of specific in
structions in the personnel bill, COM
bined with powerful adverse influences
within the department" he continues.
"for three years absolutely nothing
was done by the younger line officers
in acquiring engineering experience
of ships kept in commission and the
scarcity of officers. but little in that
direction was accomplished"
But for the advisability of certain
retired naval officers the bureau, the
report says, would experience great
difficulty in finding officers for the va
rlous responsible position both on
shore and at sea.
$50 few in this line are taking up
engineering seriously that the situa-
tion is becoming alarming" says the
engiNeer-in-chief, and he adds:
Were the country suddenly plung.
ed in war the navy would find itself
in no condition to win battles. AS
necessary as good Workmanship is,
firing line and to keep them there
amidst the havoc created by modern
ordnance. and this will never be done
with amateurs in charge of the ma
chinery. That line officers can become
good engineers has already been prov
ed, but they must have experience to
become so, and that experience must
be acquired in subordinate positions.
No young officer out of the academy
but short time who could not be Civ.
en- charge OF the deck except under the
supervision of a senior officer, should
be placed in charge of the engineer de.
partment Of a ship. as has been done.
Engineering logically belongs to the
line, and the line should be made to
perform that duty earnestly"
Adm. Rae submits plan for quick
ly supplying the navy with a body OF
efficient engineers" which provides
that all the younger officers must be
given engineering duty, and be made
TO realize their responsibility, the duty
to be performed first in subordinate
capacity and examinations to be strict
with engineering ranking with sea-
manship, gunnery and navigation.

PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.
He Names Thursday, November 80,
Next, as Day For Thanksgiving.

Washington, Nov. 3.-The president
issued his proclamation naming Thurs
day, November 80. next, as day for
Thanksgiving. The president says:
1T is eminently fitting that once
year our people should set apart a day
for praise and thanksgiving 10 the
giver of good, and, at the same time
that they express their thankfulness
of the abundant mercies received,
should manfully acknowledge their
shortcomings and pledge themselves
solemnly and in good faith to strive to
overcome them. During the past year
we have been blessed with bountiful
crops. Our business prosperity has
been great. No other people has ever
stood on as high level OF material
we'll being as ours now stands. We
are not threatened by foes from with
out. The foes from whom we should
pray to be delivered are our own pas
sions, appetites and follies; and
against these there is always need
that we should war"
