CHRISTMAS
PANT0MIME
STOPPED

From the mayors office last night about
o o'clock was given out the decision Of
the city solicitor that the Christmas pan
tomime show by n Weybossct street de-
partment store must be stopped until a
license is secured.
The application for permission for nine
children 10 take part In the show was de-
MED by the mayor and the permits for
two children already granted were re-
voked. The show was stopped.
The complainants against the show were
John H. Harson and 7. J. Johnson who
have places of business on the north side
OF Weybosset street.
City Solicitor Colwell In his opinion TO
the chiet OF police said IN part:
81 understand this inquiry has special
reference to the show or performance now
being given by the proprietors OF The
outlet In their store in front of its win
dows on Weybosset street.
From the hearing before the mayor
held this morning with reference TO nine
applications for permits for nine children
TO take part in theatrical performances
at said store. am Informed that "A
Christmas show is now being given. i'm
which about rs persons perform or take
part: that said show has been widely adj
vertlsed both within and without the
state; that the show and performance IN
visible TO the public on the street, end

formances each day, the public conRre-
gates on said street to see the show in
such large numbers as prHcttcatty 20
block n not the whole, at least nearly all
the street and most of the northerly side
walk. and serious interference with trav-
81 on the street and on the northerly side
walk is caused thereby that last Satur-
9ay 1000 or more people were standing
there, one half Of whom were children Of
immature years and, although 20 police
men were. present, the crowd became SO
great that the captain of police in com.
mand considered II his duty In the pun
lie interest TO request the proprieturs os
said store to discontinue the perform
ances for the rest or that day, which was
done: that all the essential elements and
conditions OF an ordinary public show or
performance and the reasons for public
regulation OF the same are present except
from the nature OF the case there Is no
charge to see the same.
Although admittedly the place and cir
cumstances OF this show or performance
are unusual and extraordinary. yet the
facts disclosed I'm this particular case In
dicate that this show or performance iS
not an ordinary advertising display COM
mon 10 merchants. and that performers or
actors participate in IL, and that II COM
prises public performance and results In
a purnlc assembly OF people and Is carried
on at least for some profit and ADVANTAGE
resulting TO the proprietors Of said store
Therefore. In my opinion. this show or
performance comes within the provis!ons
OF said section and is illegal. unless duly

sioners" D."

AUTHORITY

Washington. Dec 20.--The mldshipmen
at the naval academy who were impli-
Gated in the hazing OF Midshipman Kim
brough last week will be tried by court
martial and will suffer the punishment
imposed by the court and not by that OF
the secretary OF the navy as has been
the custom for many years
Secretary OF the Navy Bonaparte's $
queries TO the attorney general as to the
right Of the superintendent OF the naval
academy or the secretary OF the navy.
have resulted in a decision by Mr.. Moody
that the act OF 1874 makes II mandatory
that The superintendent OF the academy
convene court martial and let the court
pass upon the guilt Of the accused mid
shipmen.
Mr. Moodys opinion mas not been for
mally rendered. but was shown 10 Mt.
Bonaparte at the cabinet meeting yester-
day.
The decision Of the attorney general
will, I'm Mr.. Bonaparte's opinion, make IL
exceedingly hard 10 deal satisfactorily
with questions Of discipline at Annapolis,
and in letters to senator Hale and KEEP
resentatives Foss. chalrmen, respectively,
OF the senate and house committees on
naval affairs, Mr.. Bonaparte proposes the
enactment of a statute which will give
the secretary OF the navy complete and
indisputable power TO effect summary dis
missals OF midshipmen from the naval
academy.
Mr.. Ronaparte says. in this connection.
that II the provisions he suggests are
enacted. mo serious difficulty Will be
found I'm suppressing the highly objection
able practices there Cat Annapolis). which
have been so Justly condemned by public
interest. ! submit the foregoing for your
consideration.
The proposals made by Mr.. Banaparte
are follows:
THE secretary OF the navy shall have
power and authority. i'm his discretion to
dismiss at any time from the United
States Naval academy any mdshipman
whose continued presence AT the academy
he shall deem contrary TO the best inter
ests OF the service
"All acts or parts OF acts inconsistent
with the present act are hereby repealed.
This act shall take effect from the date
of It's approval and shall apply to all mid
shiprnen now connected with the United
States Naval academy or who shall here
after he connected herewith"
Mr. Bonaparte discovered the conflict In
the acts Of 1874 and 1903. upon which he
asked an opinion of the attorney general.
The act Of 1874 provides that a midshp-
man shall not be dismissed from the
naval academy for hazing without trial
by court-martial.
The act OF 1903, caused by an exposure
OF some hazing methods. provides that
the secretary OF the navy might sum
marily dismiss any midshpman found
guilty OF the breach OF regulations.

designed to simplify the railroad rate

shipper may present his complaint against
