attacked him with the office seal, but

Finch, previous to the murder, had

the murderer.

Recognition of Naval Heroes


The inspiring records of five naval
heroes were eommemorated TODAY bv
the navy department in giving their
names to the FIVE torpedo boat destroy
ers recently authorized by congress.
Already the United States has a list
of twenty-six heroes after whom tor
pedc boat destroyers and torpedo boats
have been named. To these the DEPART
ment today added the names of Rear
Admiral Daniel Ammen, Lieut.. John
Trippe, Capt. Daniel T. Patterson, Rear
Admiral Henry Wake and Ensign John
Il. Monaghan.
Rear-Admiral Ammen took a promi-
nent part in the operations along the
Atlantic coast during the Civil War,
especially in attacks on Fort McAllis-
ter and Fort Sumter in 1863. while in
command of the U. s. S. Patapsco.
Lieutenant Trippe received the
thanks of congress and a sword for dis
tinguished services performed with
Preble's squadron in the engagements
Captain Patterson commanded the
naval forces in New Orleans in 1914.
and his splendid services there led to
a vote of thanks to him by congress.
RearAdmiral Wake performed dis
tinguished services during the Civil
War, in command of the U. s. S. Ca
rondelet. He ran the batteries of Is
land No. 10, in the Mississippi river,
and had a historic engagement with
the Confederate ram Arkansas in the
Yazoo river in 1862. For these deeds
he received the thanks of the secretary
of the navy and the commentator Of
Admiral Foote
Ensign Monaghan is the only officer
of late day in this city to have
boat named after him. He distinguish
ed himself in an engagement with the
natives in Samoa in 1899. In endeav-
oring to remove Lieutenant Lansdale
to the rear he was killed himself. Of
his action in that engagement his COM
handing officer reported: "He stood
steadfast to his wounded superior and
friend; one rifle against many-one
brave man against score of savages.
He knew he was doomed. He could not
yield. He died in heroic performance

was not acting on his own account,
but in his capacity as prosecutor of
the bar association, and after he had
won his case and the supreme court
had suspended Finch for six mouths
Finch telephoned to Fisher, asking il
he would not sign a petition asking
the court to be lenient. Fisher replied
