NO GROG FOR MIDDIESs
The Naval Academy at Annapolis Lays
Down the Law in Very Plain
Terms

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Aug. 3.-Capt. ].
M. Bowyer, superintendent of the Naval
academy, announced in the strongest lan+
guage his determination to put stop
to the practice of selling or supplying in.
toxicants to candidates for the Naval
academy and midshipmen which he said
was prevalent in Annapolis. The asser<
ton was made to a delegation of minis
ters of the different denominations Of
Annapolis. who visited him by appoints
1Gent.
He said to the ministers that they rep.
resented the moral side of Annapolis and
he asked them to aid him in his fight to
suppress the furnishing of liquor to the
young men connected with the Naval
academy. Unless there was a practical
PROHIBITION of the practice, he said, he
would recommend that candidates should
prepare for entrance elsewhere than in
Annapolis.
The suggestion that the authorities might
recommend that candidates prepare for
the Naval academy away from Annapolis
will cause CONSERVATION in this city
when it becomes known. There are two
large and fourishing schools devoted to
the preparation of candidates for the Ma
val academy and their students are the
main support of many boarding houses
here. The limiting of the attendance at
these schools would be a serious blow to

TO FLUSH FOX RIVERi
Drought in Valley May Cause Epidemic
of Disease Unless Winnebago Dam
Gates Are Opened.

APPLETON, Wis, Aug. 3.-[Spe-
ciaL City Physician Ellsworth has an
nounced that unless heavy rains occur
in this vicinity before Thursday he will
make application to the government and
to the Neenah and Menasha Water Pow
er company to open the dam gates and
flush the Fox river, fearing that unless
this is done a disease epidemic might
occur in Appleton and other cities of the
Fox River valley. The prolonged
drought has brought about condition
very similar to that of year ago when
the water in the lakes and river became
so polluted that thousands of fish were
killed and the stencil was so offensive
that people in cities along the river
could scarcely stand it. The source of
supply of the Appleton Water Works
company is the Fox river, and the
water now being pumped through the
pipes OF, that company is so polluted
that 1t is not safe to use it even for
kitchen purposes. 1t is believed that if
the gates on the up-river dams are
opened for several hours daily the river
can be flushed and much Of the filth and
pollution carried into Green bay. Many
of the cottagers along the summer re-
sorts on the north shore of Lake Win
nebago have been obliged to return to
their city homes, being unable to stand
the stencil,

be fed and cared for by them.

ing that a white baby, named Nah Ho,
was imprisoned in a notorious opium and

Of the automobile has changed the mode
of showing that you are not quite. as

enough dirt to look like fast long dis
lance riders wko have had no time 10 re-
move the traces of locomotion. A slight
disarray of the tie and collar is a great
aid to the illusion, while the real artist
will add slight suggestion of cramp in

an oily smear on the nose. This may
seem like an exaggeration, but it IS not
more absurd than the fashion of a cen

Before Him.
YOCKEY PLEADS FOR LENIENCY.

MADISON. Wis, July 31.-tSpe-
.cial. Found guilty Of perjury last Fri
day afternoon, Frank T. Wagner of
Milwaukee was this morning sentenced
10 serve three years in states prison
at Waupun. Judge Donovan, in speak
ing sentence, referred to the case as an
aggravated offense," and the district
attorney asked that the extreme penalty
be imposed.
When asked by the court if he had
anything to say why sentence should
not be pronounced, Wagner arose from
his seat and standing before the judge
made reply. He read from a written
statement which he said he had prepared
n order that there would be no mistake
as to his meaning. He said: L have no
apology. to offer to this court, to the
senatorial investigation committee, or to
anybody connected with this case for
what 1 have said or done. Were l Of
fered immunity or freedom to repudlate
that testimony l would refuse it. -!
would rather be at peace with my God
and Maker and be in prison, and l am
not DESTROYS of going there either"
Jockeys Motions Denied.
When court opened, Attorney Jockey
offered two motions, one that the ind
ing of the jury be set aside as contrary
to the law and evidence, and the other
for stay of sentence because certain
points of law were involved which the
supreme court has never passed upon
Both were denied.
Mr.. Jockey made a short plea for
Leniency. He said other men had COM
united perjury before the investigation
committee. but Wagner was the only
one who was unfortunate enough to be
arrested for it.
Il still believe the story Of this de-
PENDANT is true in its main points, be
said. Senator Marsh told me Friday
night that Wagner's story was still true
in its main points"
An Aggravated Case.
The district attorney replied that he
did not believe Senator Marsh had been
correctly quoted by counsel and that he
did not believe that a story like Wag-
ner's could stand up. Mr.. Mason added,
at is a most aggravated case. In ad-
dition to the palpable misstatement of
facts, there was a further offense In
speaking falsely against the good name
Of five reputable men,"
Here Wagner said in reply to the
statement Of the district attorney in re-
gard to the character of these other men,
al wish to state that my character is as
good as theirs" Wagner was taken to
Waupun at 1 o'clock today. By good
