Nsarxonl and Mayo.


 Patterson B. Marzoni, the young man from this city, who was dismissed from the Annapolis Naval Academy recently upon the charge of hazing, last night received telegrams from Washington informing him that Senator $. R. Nal lory had introduced resolution in the Senate calling upon the Secretary Of the Navy to produce copies of the tes- timony in the cases of both Marzoni and Mayo, and also to show upon what authority Marzoni had been dismissed. It Is alleged that Mayo, who Is a pres idential appointee, when arraigned be- fore the court. pleaded guilty to the charge, admitting that he had hazed fourth-cIass men, but Marzoni never admitted having done so, Marzoni was dismissed and Mayo exonerated This has led Senator Mallory, who appointed Marzoni to call for an investigation. and 1t is his purpose to show that fla voritism has been shown, and that Marzoni was dismissed without cause and simply because the court desired to make an example of some one. Marzoni left tonight for New York, where he enters the employ of a big steel construction company, but before departing stated that he intended push ing his case to the finish, as he did not think he had been done. justice, espe- cially after hearing the verdict in the Mayo case. It was rumored here to- night that Midshipman Whitmire, who was also appointed from this district, had resigned, owing to the injustice done Marzoni

No testimony was submitted by the
defense in the saloon case against F.
A. DRYDEN, charged with violating the
Sunday law, being heard before Judge
Huffman, this afternoon, Attorney
Sharpstein attacking the validity OF
the city ordinance, making it misde-
meanor for a saloon man to keep his
place of business open on Sunday.
Attorney Sharpstein contended the
city cannot make any act a criminal
offense. which the state has previous
lv made a criminal offense, unless the
charter gives the city the power to do
so.
He held the city ordinance does not
prohibit Sunday opening and that If
If could be construed that it did, the
ordinance is annulled by the fact that
the state has already legislated on
the same subject.
Attorney Sharpstein cited numerous
authorities. The saloon men this af-
ternoon were represented by ]. L.
Sharpstein. Oscar Cain, C. c. Gose and
Jonn Pedigo.
