The complete list of the new fourth
class at the Naval academy, complied
at the navy department, shows the
class to be composed of 20S members.
The fourth class, as a rule, contains
from 275 to 300 members. The low
number is accounted for to some ex-
tent by the fact that large number
failed to qualify. OF the POS about
twenty are yet to be re-examined, they
having failed on minor physical de
fects.
At the opening of the term there
will be SO1 nhidshipmen enrolled, ac-
cording to the present outlook. This
is considerably below the normal num-
Der at the academy, each class being
smaller than usual. The first class
will contain 1T midshipmen. the sec
ond class III, the third class 255 and
the fourth class 20S. Last years first
class numbered POI mfdshipmen on
Che date of graduation, that being the
largest graduating class in the history
Of the institution.

ABUSES OF THE
RIGHT OF APPEAL
lS DECLARED BY BAR ASSociA
TloN COMMITTEE TO BE
FI.AGRANT.
PUNISHMENT OF CRIMINALS
Is Thereby Postponed, In Violation o.
Every Principle Of Justlce-Ap-
peals on Technical Grounds
Should Not Stand.

New York, Aug. 17.-Courts Of ap
peal will no longer decide either civil
or criminal litigation brought before
them on purely technical points, but
will base their rulings on the merits
OF the cases, II the recommendation
formulated by special committee OF
the American Bar association shall be
come law.
The committee was appointed by
the association at its last annual
meeting to suggest remedies and draft
proposed laws to prevent delay and
unnecessary cost In litigation. Its re
port will be presented at the next an
from August 25 to 2S
1t opens with a statement that the
existing evil which seems most seri
Gus to the committee is the disposi.
tion In many jurisdictions to dispose
Of appeals, or writs OF error, both In
civil and criminal cases, upon tech.
nical grounds, and not to decide them
upon the merits. In the judgment OF
the committee the rule for deciding
appeals and writs OF error should not
he based on reversible error commit
ted In the court below, but upon the
merits az the case appears upon the
record.
The report calls attention to the
fact that the tendency of the courts In
common law cases is to construe ad
herence TO strict legal rules as the
right of each party, and to reverse II
there has been any infraction of these
rules.
This makes the trial Of u case a
game" declared the committee, "in
which the one wins who plays the
most skillfully, the merits of the con
troversy having no part"
The unrestricted right to writ OF
error In criminal cases is character
ized by the committee as a fragrant
abuse In judicial procedure.
"These writs," the committee adds
'are constantly sued out solely fol
delay. The punishment of notorious
criminals thus is constantly beinl
postponed In violation of every prln
ciple Of justice. This is especially
fragrant IN the suing out Of writs o
error from the supreme court Of the
United States to review the decision
OF the highest courts OF criminal juris
diction In the several states. We rec
ommend that no writ of error return
able In criminal cases to the supreme
court Of the United States should b'
allowed unless justice of that cour
shall certify that there Is probable
cause to believe that the defendant
was unjustly convicted"

West Chester, Pa, Is the Scene Of |
Desperate Affray--rwo Men

West Chester, Pa, Aug. 17.-Ben
jamin De Gildo OF Philadelphia, sho'
and killed Benjamin De Felix, fatally
wounded Pasquale De Felix, father
of the murdered man, here Sunday
and then to escape capture at the
hands of an lnfuriated mob committed
suicide by shooting himself. The sen
satlonal shooting is said to be the out
growth of a feud that has existed be
tween the Italians for a long time
The bad feeling was recently In
creased by the arrest of De Felix, the
murdered man, on a charge of keep
ing speak.easy and being identified
with a counterfieiting plot. De FeliN
was cleared of the charges at a hear
ing in Philadelphia, at which time he
openly accused De Gildo of having of
fered to give "Black Hand" agents
$75 to kill De Felix.
De Glldo came here Sunday accom-
panied by ANGELA Diermerneglldo
The couple met Benjamin De Felix on
the street. A few words passed and
De Glldo drew revolver and shot
De Felix in the breast. AS the man
fell De Gildo sent another bullet into
his body. The shooting occurred moi
far from the De Felix home and Pas
quale De Felix, father of the mur
dered man, ran TO the assistance OF
his son. He felled De Gildo with o
brick and as the latter struggled tc
his feet De Gildo again used his re.
volyer, sending bullet into the elder
De Felix's abdomen. De Gildo fed
pursued by an angry mob.
Unable to snake off his pursuers
De Gildo stopped running and, facing
the mob turned his revolver upon
himself, dying instantly. In the SEN
satlonal shooting which aroused the
entire town, Patrick Murphy was
struck in the leg by stray bullet and
severely wounded and Michael Sar
geant was shot In the arm, II Is said
by a friend Of De Gildo, who was ar
rested.
So aroused was the Italian settle
ment by the shooting that the entire
force OF police was sent into the set
tlement and additional guards were
put on duty to prevent any possible
attempt on the part Of De Felix's
friends to lynch Dlermernegildo.
