''MIDOIES' UNDER ARREST
SCALED WALLS TO DINE WITH
CHORUS GIRLS.
Hilarious Time at Bath, Me-, May
Lead to ousting of Four
Offenders.

Annapolis, Nd, Sept 4.-Superin'
tendent Badgers recommendation to
President Roosevelt for the dismissal
of four young "middies," one of whom
is a member of the first, class, has
caused much talk In Annapolis. The
youths are under arrest and confined
in their rooms.
Two of the cadets, who are upper
classmen, broke the discipline of the
academy on the recent summer cruise.
The other two offenders are "plebes"
of the type known in"middy" slang as
as 'bilgers"-boys who dropped back
class and reentered the fourth class
q second time. Nothing has been
heard from the president or the navy
department on Capt. Badgers recon-
mendation for dismissal of the four
midshipmen.
1t is learned that the culDrits par
ticipated In and were understood to
be the leaders of Shore party" at
Bath, Me-, while the ships OF the
practice squadron were at anchor OFF
that place. The return to the ship
was said to have been long after
the allowed time, and there is said
to have been considerable disorder
among the youths as result of too
frequent indulgence in something
stronger than water. ....
"The DEVILS Auction" with a spec
tacular chorus of beauty, was the bill
at the local theater that night. The
show was enjoyable, the supper after
wards was more so, and the stay from
under the sheltering care Of superior
officers was prolonged In fact, day
was approaching when the two
"plebes" returned to quarters by way
of the wall to find that their absence
had been noted in the conduct report.
1t is said that since forwarding his
recommendation for the dismissal Of
the four youths to the president Capt.
Badger has called on them to give
him three reasons why they should
not be dismissed. This, 1t Is said was
conveyed to the incarserated mid.
dies Saturday and the reply has not
been turned In. "
In connection with the alleged after.
theater party it will be remembered
that Capt. Badger, since assuming
charge Of the academy, has held sew
eral conferences with Mayor Claude of
Annapolis, with view of breaking up
this and similar practices through CO.
operation between the city and federal
authorities.
