DIRECT TO NAVAL ACADEMY.
THE BODY OF THE FAMOUS
NAVAL CAPTAIN
Will Be Brought From France to
Annapolis For Its Final
Resting Place.

Today Professors Henri Marion and
j. p. de Garrennes, attached TO the
department of language ct the Naval
Academy left for New York, where
they will sail on Wednesday next with
the fleet TO bring 10 Annapolis the
BODY of the first admiral of the Navy,
which. wind and waves permitting,
is expected TO reach here July 4.
The remains of John Paul Jones
will be brought direct from France TO
Annapolis and will not, as has been
requested, be taken from State teIState
and made the subject of numerous
patr;otic celebrations. This decision
was reached at the Cabinet meeting
at Washington yesterday and an.
nounced later by Secretary of the
Navy Paul Morton,
The body of the famous naval cap
tain will be taken on board the United
States cruiser Brooklyn, accompa-
MED by the other vessels of Rear r-Ad-
miral Sigsbee's fleet, to Annapolis,
and temporarily placed in the Naval
Cemetery, pending the completion of
the crypt in the Memorial Chapel at
the Naval Academy. According to
the present plans the remains will
arrive at Annapolis early in July, but
the exact date has not yet been fixed.
The ceremonies attending the arrival
of the body at Annapolis have been
placed in charge of Commander Cam.
eron McR Winslow, United States
Navy, naval aide to the President.
Considerable pressure. it is said at
the Navy Department, has been
brought to bear upon the President by
various states and patriotic societies
to have the remains of the gallant sea
captain allowed to lie in state at va
rious places. Fredericksburg, Va.
Philadelphia, Boston and other cities
put in claims for the remains and, had
all these requests been granted, it
would have been several months after
the remains reached this country be
fore they could finally have been taken
to Annapolis. 1t was thought much
better that they should be taken direct
to Annapolis and that all the ceremo-
nies incident to their arrival in this
country should take place in this city,
the seat of the Naval Academy and
the recognized centre of the Ameri
can navy.

which had awakened 10 life the usual

the midshipmen. however, were gath.

the dock TO wave them g0odby.
The midshipmeu were assigned 10

time in investigating the contents of

Practically no shore leave was given
the midshipmen and they must remain
close TO the ships until Monday, when
cables will be- slipped, tho huge ships
of war will breast the tide and bear
away the several hundred young men
for their months of stern life ahoat.
Many of the young men have provided
themselves with material to record

INDICATED MAJ. KARMANY.
MUCH SATISFACTION HAS
BEEN EXPRESSED.
Court of Inquiry Exonerates The
Marine Officer of The
Barton Charges.

Much satisfaction is expressed about
the Naval Academy over the result
of the court of inquiry which was re.
Gently conducted at the Academy into
the allegations against Major Lin
coin Karmany. The board completely
vindicated and exonerated the major
and recommended that no further
steps be taken in the matter.
This will probably be the end of a
case which promised TO bring to the
fore some very bitter feeling between
the Naval and Marine branch or the
service. While many private. opinions
are expressed relative TO the merits OF
the controversy which grew mp be-
tween Major Karmany, u. s. NJ. O.,
and Commander John Barton. of the
Navy, there is great satisfaction that
the matter is settled aud will not again
be given any attention.
The controversy which ended in the
court of inquiry being summoned
was started when a son of Commander
Barton tried for an appointments TO
the Marine Corps. lt came to the
ears of Major Karmany that Barton
had made some remarks rejecting on
the standing and personnel of the
Marine Corps, 1t is claimed. whether
truthfully or not is not known, that
Major Karmany used this information
in preventing Barton entering the SER
vice.
Commander Barton reported the
matter to the Department and asked
that court of inquiry be convened.
This the Department did with the re-
suit as before indicated. Those who
are in a position to know state that
Barton will make another try to enter
the Marine Corps and much interest
is taken as to the outcome.
The substance of the reports were
that Dale S Barton made derogatory
remarks concerning the Marine Corps
while under designation for examina-
tion for appointment as q second lieu
tenant in that corps The finding of
the court of inquiry was as follows;
"That the words you dom t need to
do that, | despise the 49, as much as
you do, we both think the same, my
father wanted me to go to the Naval
Academy, but loafed until | was too
old and now l am taking the only
thing left'-reported by Lieutenant
Small in his official report may, in
the opinion of the court, have been
used, but that the Interpretation as
put upon them was not correct and
that the general impression based di-
rectly upon this report was false
"We believe Colonel Karmany to be
a party to the report in so far as that
he forwarded the report. but we are
of the opinion that Colonel Karmany
did not unduly influence Lieutenant
Small to make the aforementioned
report. We believe that Lieutenant
Colonel Karmany did not carry the
aforementioned matter to the extent of
persecution and that the words 'Kar-
many wants this matter hushed' are
not proved.
"We also believe that Commander
] X Barton, u S Navy. has reasonable
ground to think himself and his fam
lly injured and was, therefore, justi-
fed in asking an investigation of the
case The opinion of the court is that
mo further proceedings should be
had against any of the parties to the
inquiry "

Earl w. Chaffee and John II.
Lofiand. two of the three midsbipmen
dismissed from the Naval Academy
for hazing and whose reinstatement
was authorized by Congress at its last
session. subject to examination, will
be reappointed to the Navy by the
President in a few days. They met
all the requirements imposed by the
Navy Department.
John ID. Little. the third midship-
man affected by this legislation, quail
flied mentally and professionally. but
failed to pass PHYSICALLY. His disa-
bility is believed to be only temporar-
ily and is expected to be remedied by
a course of treatment, in which event
he. too. will be reinstated in the ma
val service. 1t was intended to act in
the case of the three young men at the
same time, but it was finally decided
to appoint Chaffee and Lofiand at once
and give Little more time to qualify.
