WAS GIVEN A HEARING
All Evidenc In Midshipman
Mann's Assault Case In
His Favor.

Richard Ray Mann, the midship-
man who was arrested some time since
on the chage of assulting John Lyons,
14-year-old boy at Philadelphia, left
again today to have a final hearing in
the case. The assault is alleged TO
have taken place at the conclusion Of
the Army Navy game on Franklin
Field.
Shortly after the alleged offense
Midshipman Mann was arrested on the
charge of assault and released on his
own recognizance. Later a warrant
was served on him, forywhich he gave
bail Saturday he appeared in the
Philadelphia court before Magistrate
Stratton and after a preliminary hear
ing was released on $500 bail for his
appearance today. According to the
story told at the hearing Midshipman
Mann is a member of the class of 1907
and came on with the battalion of
midshipmen to attend the game.
While it was in progress he climbed a
fiagpole at the east gate OF the grounds
and placed a navy pennant just be-
meath the American flag that was al
ready flying from it.
Before going mp the pole the mid
shipman had put his overcoat, mega
phone and bunch of Academy colors
on the ground alongside the fence.
When he came down, IL is stated, he
saw young Lyons running away with
the megaphone. Mann gave chase,
and when he overhauled the boy a
scuffle ensued, during which Lyons, il
is alleged, was kicked and injured so
badly that he had to be taken to the
University Hospital. David Stanton
said he called policeman and had
the MILDLY arrested, declaring that
Mann had kicked the boy while he
was PROSTATE on the ground. Mann
did not deny that he chased the boy,
but Indignantly refuted the charge
that he knocked him down or kicked
him. He said the boy trlpped while
trying TO dodge through the crowd,
and must have twisted his leg be-
meath him as he fell.
James Winters and Joseph Steinman
also testified regarding the alleged
kicking. When all the testimony had
been heard Magistrate Stratton said
that any person unquestionably had
the right to pursue a thief, and that
from the evidence it seemed to him
the boy had been injured by Mann
while the latter was trying to secure
property belonging to him that had
been taken by the boy. In order that
no injustice should be done anyone.
however. the Magistrate said he
would hold the case under advisement
until Monday morning, so as to afford
Lyons an opportunity to produce adj
ditional evidence. if he has any, which
might show that the assault was an
unprovoked and unlawful one. Bail
for Midshipman Mann was promptly
furnished by Isaac Elliott, chief clerk
in the Bureau of City Property at the
Philadelphia City Hall, and the young
man left the station accompanied by
friends.

New York, Jan. 9--Twelve hundred
persons, or three times the proverbial

New York society, have been invited
to attend Mrs. Astor's annual ball to-
night. AS a reason for the unusually
large number of invitations many say
this is to be the last of Mrs Astor's
famous annual balls and, therefore, it
is natural that the venerable leader of
New York society should wish the
greatest audience present at her final
dance. The ball will be held in the
twin mansions of Colonel John Jacob
Astor and Mrs. Astor at Fifth avenue
and Sixty fifth street. They can ac-
commodate ]. 200 dancers easily. and
there are two drawing rooms which
make an ideal supplemental ballroom.
