MlDDIES GUILTY OF
SEEING ACTRESSES

Washington, Sept 10-Twoo Of the four
Annapolis naval cadets suspended and
recommended for dismissal by Captain
Badger, the commandment, on account OF
attractions Of regulations at the acad-
envy, have sent answers to the COM
munications sent them by the acting
secretary of the navy, calling upon
Them to show cause why the dismissal
shall not be enforced.
The letters were from Clarence c.
Riner, of Wyoming. and o. G. Salb,
Of Indiana, both fourth-class men last
year and not promoted this year. They
were found guilty Of "Frenching." hav-
ing, 1t was charged, stolen away with
put leave to see women attached to a
theatrical company. They were de-
.ected trying to get back into the
grounds early in the morning.
Their only defense is that they think
q sentence of dismissal is unjust, when
other cadets have only been denoted
for the same offense. AS Riner and
Salb are old students, Captain Badger
held that they set a bad example for
young men in their class. The other
cadets recommended for dismissal were
George +. Hulnbert, of Pennsylvania,
and James e. Austin, of New York,
who left the practice ship at Bath,
Me-. after having been refused shore
leave. They have lot yet replied to
the letter from the department.

BOB EVANS FOES WOULD
ROB HIM or COMMAND

Washington, Sept. 10.-That certain
clique in the navy is trying to get the
scalp Of Rear Admiral Evans and pre-
vent him from retaining command Of
the battleship fleet in it's course to the
Pacific, is declared by q naval off1ciaL
friendly to Evans, to be the basis for
the criticisms Of the feet. The Jealousy
OF the officers on the general board
against Admiral Evans is said to have
aroused the wholesale criticisms Of
the Pacific trip and the condition Of
the feet. Evans has the ear OF thA
president and when the general board
last winter submitted battle tactics
they were turned down, first by EvanA
then by the White House.
President Roosevelt said Evans had
the responsibility and should adopt
battle tactics that suited him. Rear
Admiral Goodrich is the man some OF
Evans opponents want to command
the fleet, but 1t is not learned that
Goodrich is inspiring any Of the criti-
cisms. Captain Richmond Pearson
Hobson, new representative from Ala
bama, declares the attacks unwars
ranted.

COURT KNOCKS OUT
CHICAGO TRACTION DEAL

Chicago, Sept. 10-The order recently
entered by Judge Grosscup In the
United States circuit court directing
the receivers Of the Union Traction
company, which operates the street a
systems on the north and west sides
OF h city, to turn these properties
over to a new corporation called the
Chicago Railways company for twenty
years has been reversed by the United
States court Of appeals. The decision
remands the case to the United States
circuit court end leaves the traction
situation where 1t was before the for
nation Of the Chicago Railways COM
pany.
1t was the opinion Of the court Of ap-
peals that Judge Grosscup had no
power to give possession to the Chicago
Railways company without the consent
of h bondholders and stockholders Of
the underlying companies. The de-
cision declares that the only in
which the Chicago Railways company
can secure possession OF the traction
property Is through negotiations with
the stockholders and the bondholders.
The action taken by the court Of APP
2eals hinged entirely OF the question
Of Jurisdiction. The power Of Judge
Grosscup to issue the order in Ques-
ton was h only act assailed.
AS the ordinance under which the
Chicago Railways company Is operat-
ing expires by limitation September II
1t will be impossible for the company
to obtain possession Of the properties
by that time. The entire situation
therefore reverts to the period wheE.
the properties were held by receivers
n before the ~unification Of the north
and west side lines was undertaken.
AS a result Of the decision the ordi-
nance ratified by the people last spring.
under which 1t vas hoped the entire
traction question would be settled, Is
void and h situation more chaotic
than ever.
