COURT MARTIAL ENDS.
dfdshipman Decatur's Case Now In
 Hands of Admiral Sands,


 ANNAPOLIS. Md. Jan. 4.-The case of Midshipman Stephen Decatur, Jr.. who for three days has been on trial before a naval court martial for the al- leged hazing of Midshipman Isaac \. McCrary and Gaylord Church. was giv- en to the court. and the court has de- cided upon its findings. which will be forwarded to the superintendent of the Naval academy for his action. Under the law the record then goes 10 the sec retary of the navy. but Secretary Bo- naparte has announced that he regard ed his duties in the matter as merely ministerial and that unless some glar- ing error should have passed the super intendent's notice he will approve the action of Admiral Sands
 Mir Randall. opening for the accused. urged that an alibi was completely es- tablished- The defense was willing to admit. Mir Randall said. that McCrary had made an honest mistake as 10 who hazed him. The prosecution. he said. must stand on the case as made out by its own witnesses. and the allegation as to time. place and identity made by McCrary had been absolutely disprov- ed, The overwhelming proof awas that McCrary was not in Decatur's room when he said that he had been haZed. Mir. Randall urged very strongly in his closing remarks that the testimony Of Decatur was of as much weight as that of McCrary and that he absolutely de nied that he had ever hazed the latter
 Not only is there reasonable doubt in this case" Mfr. Randall said. but we submit that the preponderance of evl- dence is in favor of the defendant"

DUMB FROM FRIGHT.
Eyewitness to sorthport Tragedy
 Near Death.

NEW YORK. Jan. 4-According to local physicians. Prank Wisnewski. the Polish stable boy who saw Dr. James W. Simpson shoot his father-in-law. Bartley T. Horner. and who has been In a trance for nearly twelve hours. is 'scared almost to death" This is one of the rare instances in medical history where a victim of fright comes literally SO near death that such a phrase can truthfully be applied to him. II is doubted of wisnewski will be able to testify at the Northport hearing.
 The most important testimony yet given was obtained by District AttOF- ney Furman from Henry C. King. neighbor of the Horners. King testified on the stand that when Horner was dying Simpson leaned oyer him. where upon the old man pushed him away with all his remaining strength and tried hard to speak. but could not utter a wori.
 Mr. King also testified inst after he ran out of his house into the Horaer yard. when Dr. Simpson called him. the doctor exclaimed:
 five shot Mr Horner. Come right Orer.''
 T ran into the house. the witness continuci. -snd saw Mr. Homer lying on the sofa Ia fIse dining room. His wife and Mir. Simpson were very much excited. Mrs HsFner was sitting on the sofa. holding her husbands hsnd Dr. simpson came into the room. and Mrs. Horner looked ID at him and said:

 More Severe Sentence.
 NEW YORK. Jan. 4.-For requesting an underofiicer to change his seat at a theater First Lieut., Roy | Taylor of the coast artillery .sas been reduced in rank twelve numbers. He was tried by court martial here. and the verdict was against the officer. The offense was committed at a theater in New London. Conn.,, where a sergeant of Taylor's own company who was in uni form vacated seat at the request of Lieutenant Taylor.
 Tt is hoped states the decision, which is signed by Rrigadier General Grant that the sentence of the court will leave no doubt in the mind of any one that the uniform of soldier is a mark of honor which must be respect ed in the United States
 It also stated that sentence more severe than the one given is warranted
 Sergeant Patrick F. Butler of the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth com pany. coast artillery. which was Fay lor's company. was seated in front of his superior officer at the performance. to which Lieutenant Taylor came in multi. Near by was party of friends whom he knew. but who were not mem- bers of his party. It was in order to make vacancy for one of.them that he told the sergeant to move. His words to the underoficer. according to the printed verdict of the court martial, were:
 Sergeant. you had better get your ticket changed and get your seat some where in the rear" or words to that effect
 Lieutenant Taylor pleaded not guilty 10 the charge of conduct to the preju- dice of good order and military disci- pline. saying that he had asked the ser geant to move, but that he spoke as one man might to another and did not intend to order him to vacate his seat.

and tepid water rinsing 1t well and removing the father. and drying it with a soft towel Once a day is often enough to use soap on the face, bu. this one using should never be omitted.
 Blackheads are accumulations of dust and dirt in the pores of the skin. To press them out with a watch-key, or to fuss with them at all is very foolish A little cold cream may be applied. after the thorough washing with soap, but this is seldom neces- sray. A schoolgirl whose face is really clean will have no blackheads to bother her.
 AS for freckles. they are the kisses of the sun on fair skin, and no one should be worried over them. If they do distress a. girl. she may re- move them by using lemon juice free ly. adding to it an equal portion of much diluted glycerine. Never use glycerine either with rose water or lemon juice, unless you dilute il free ly with water. A country girl nay drive away freckies by washing her face frequently with buttern.ilk, which is one of the best possible To- tions for the skin. Be very particu- lar never to use another persons towel and wash-cloths.

HOT 3.ROUAD CONTEST

Bob Adler beat Nose King in hotly-
contested three-round boxing exhibition
at the weekly stag OF the Navarro A. c.
in American Theatre hall. New York. last
night. while 500 members cheered so lusti-
ly that they could be heard by the audi
ence I'm the theatre below.
Adler. who was once an amateur cham
pion, depended upon his cleverness 10
keep him away from the fierce swings
and hooks OF his opponent. and whenever
he saw an opening, he sent over tab
that rocked Kings head. In the first
round Adler contented himself with feel
ing his man out, and little fast fighting
was indulged i'm.
The second round. however. was a fast
one. Adler began operations by rushing
King into neutral corner, and landing
stiff uppercut that Jared Nose from
head to foot The latter went 10 his cor
ner looking tired
In the third round Adler tried 10 finish
his man by administering a vigorous
punching. but just as King looked 10 be-
all in, he succeeded In landing a chance
blow that sent Adler 10 the floor. Bob was
up In second. and stalled for few mo-
ments 10 save himself lie then landed 4
stiff uppercut that knocked King up
against the ropes. and when the final bell
sounded Nose was all In.
Jack Battling Nelson bested Fred Mar
tin in the opening bout. Nelson can stand
more punishment than any other man at
his weight In the ring today. and i'm ad-
dtion 10 this he has a wallop like the
kick OF a mule. He landed several swings
that lifted Martin from his feet I'm the
first round, and although Fred managed

bell sounded at the end Of the third
