DOWNED BY 'M|DDY'
Washington Policeman Nursing
Sore Jaw As Result Of
Banquet Ruction.
NAVAL CADETS ON TEAR.
Arrested After Lively TussIe, Two OF
Them Forfeit Sixty Dollars
Collateral.

Policemen Grimsley aud Lintley. of
the first precinct, Washington, ID. c..
are hoping today that they will have
a night off the next time a class Of
midshipmen from the Naval Academy
hold a banquet in Washington.
These two guardians of the peace
arrested two strappiing young fell
lows Friday night, whose names ap-
pear on the blotter at the station
house, Washington, and the police
declare they are midshipmen who
had left Friday nights banquet and
were seeing the town. F" Police
man Grimsley is nursing a sore
face, and he blames il on one of
them, who, he says, gave him ter
rife punch in the jaw.
Between the two of them they for
feited $50 collateral in the Police
Court Saturday morning, for they did
not appear to answer to the string of
charges against them One forfeited
$50 for punching the policeman, $40
on the charge of assaulting man
named Joseph Scott. and $40 on a
charge of punching Effie Hughes, 1907
d street, in the jaw. The other MILDLY
was charged with being disorderly and
forfeited SO only.
Policemen Grimsley and Lintley saw
three men run out of the front door of
1907 ID street about midnight Friday
night. Following them were a
stream of women screaming. car
rest them" yelled the women, "they
have nearly murdered Effie Hughes" ("
The three young men stopped when
the policemen told them to. One of
the excited women said that on of them
had struck Effie a powerful blow with
his fist. The trio submitted quietly
enough to arrest, and it was a huge
surprise to Policeman Grimsley when
he felt sledge hammer in the jaw.
He blamed one MILDLY, 1.-THE big one. "
and says he must be an athlete. The
policeman fell to the pavement and
lay there several seconds wondering
when the fireworks exhibition would
be concluded.
Meantime, the second policeman
was having a terrific tussle with the
trio, and the third man escaped, run
ming down 18th street.
When Grimsley "came to" he took
a hand in the fight, and it was only
because the two policemen threatened
to use their clubs that the two prison
ers were taken to the station. The
police say the two men had been din
ing well, and that they both admitted
being midshipmen.

FLIGHT OF HYDROPLANE.
Lieut.. Towers Flies Over The Bay AT
Greenberry Point-The First
HydrOplane Flight AT Naval
Academy,

The work at the Naval Aviation
Station, across the Severn river from
the Naval Academy, was resumed on
Saturday afternoon, Lieut. John II.
Towers making short flight and also
covering a considerable distance on the
surface of the water in the hydro
plane which arrived here about ten
days ago.
The machine was put in the water
Of the Chesapeake Bag ON the other
side of Greenberry Point and near the
hangar which has recently been
erected. After covering some distance
on the surface of the water, Lieuten-
ant Towers fixed his planes for an
ascent, and the hydroplane slowly
rose to a height of about a hundred
feet. At this height a full circle
was described, the total distance
covered being something like a half
a mile.
After returning to the water, Lieu
tenant Towers travelled on the sur
face for several miles, going across
the wide harbor at the mouth of
Mill creek, and going nearly as far
as Hackett's Point. The engine
worked fairly we'll Lieutenant Tow
ers seemed to have the whole ma
chine under good control, though it's
flights indicated that it is not quite as
readily controlled as the biplane
The Academy authorities do not
know whether Lieutenant Rodgers will
return shortly, or when Lieutenant
Ellyson will be here. 1t is thought,
however, that both will be here for
some experimental work this fall,
making three aviators on the grounds.

shifted to the Chicago, then on the
European station, on which vessels
he remained until April of the fol-
lowing year. He was commissioned
a lieutenant in 1896, and after two
years service on the Raleigh. took
up a new line of work as aid to
the Assistant Secretary of the Navy.
In this position he had direct charge
of the naval militia.
Shortly after the outbreak of the
Spanish war, he was assigned to the
Brooklyn. Less than two months
later he took up his work on Com
modore Schley's flagship, which was
the GENITAL figure in the battle of San
tiago, on July 3, 1898. when Admiral
Cervera's fleet was destroyed in a gal
liant attempt to escape from the har-
Dor where the combined squadrons of
Sampson and Schley had it bottled up.
Captain Gibbons service with the
Brooklyn terminated in 1901, and for
several years he was engaged in office
work for the Navy Department. In
1905 he took the Japanese commits
sioners to Portsmouth to meet the
Russian envoys. Since that time he
has had command Of the cruiser
Charleston, of the Asiatic fleet, and
has served as naval attache of the
American embassy in London. He
has been on the general board of the
Navy Department since November
10, last.
Captain Gibbons is now fifty-fve
years of age. AS head of the Naval
Academy, he occupies a position of
Importance equal to that of the presi-
dent of a great university, and his
varied experience, covering, as it
does, practically everything with which
naval officers may be expected to be
familiar, makes him an admirable
man for the place.
Captain Gibbons is a member of
the Metropolitan, Army and Navy and
Chevy Chase clubs, of Washington,
and, with Mrs. Gibbons, has occupied
a prominent position in Washington
society before comirg to Annapolis.
In striking contrast to former
heads of the Naval Academy, the past
few years, it is expected Captain and
Mrs. Gibbons will entertain frequent
ly this winter, and it is generally
understood that Mrs. Gibbons will,
after the English custom, receive
on Sunday afternoons, having OBJ
served one Sunday before the close
of the season, although Mrs. Glib
bons' reception day has not been
officially announced.

DEVELOPING SLOWLY.
Navy Football Team Giving Players
Every Possible Chance.

The Naval Academy football team
will spend the present week in spec
ial preparation for next SATURDAYS
game against Johns Hopkins, with
which the season will be opened.
Though the Navy's rugged team will
probably encounter little trouble from
the Baltimoreans, no great effort
will be made to run up score, as the
local team will again pursue the pol
icy of developing slowly, and giving
as many players as possible a chance
in the early games.
The work of last week was quite
successful, and scrimmages were
held Friday and Saturday afternoons.
On Saturday the scrimmage was
longer and harder than on the pre-
vious day.
Owing to the number of experienced
men on the squad, the team appears to
be further advanced than usual for
this time in the season.

TOO MUCH VACCINATION.
Boy Dies OF Tetanus Said To Be
Caused From Law Enforced By
Schools.

At an early hour this morning a
death under peculiarly sad circum-
stances occurred at the Hebrew Hos
pital, Baltimore, where the boy was
taken yesterday.
Joseph A. Hoff, son of Bernard |.
and Henrietta Hoff, died of what is
supposed to have been tetanus and
spinal meningitis, said to be due to
vaccination. The school law requires
all pupils to be vaccinated, and fill
ing the requirements of the law a
number of pupils Iof st. Mary's
School were vaccinated this year for
the first time.
Among them was the Hoff lad, who is
thirteen years old, whose death is
said to be due to vaccination. Sever
al other pupils are said to be i'll from
the same cause. The remains of Young
Hoff will be brought here today and
the funeral will take place on We'd
nesday morning from St. Mary's
Church. The father of the lad is a
watchman at the Naval Academy.

NAVAL ACADEMYS HEAD
Capt. John H. Gibbons U. S. N.
Who Succeeded Capt. Bowyer
Has Fine Record.
CAREER IS AN EVENTFUL ONE.
In an Experience Covering a Period Of
Thirty-six Years, He Has Been De-
tailed on Practically Every Kind Of
Service Allotted to the Officers Of the
United States Navy.

With Capt. John H. Gibbons, the
Superintendent, the real academic
work of the United States Naval
Academy began today under a new
regime.
Service in peace and war in every
quarter of the globe has been the lot
of Captain Gibbons, the new superin-
tendent, who succeeded Capt. John M.
Bowyer on May Is last, shortly be-
fore the close of the years work at
the Academy. Captain Gibbons ma
val experience has been of the most
varied character, covering a period of
thirty-six years. During that time
he has been detailed on practically
every kind of service allotted to naval
officers.
Captain Gibbons has smelled the
smoke of battle in the most serious
naval engagement in which vessels of
the United States Navy have partic
ipated since the Civil War-the battle
of Santiago, during the Spanish War.
At that time Captain Gibbons was a
lieutenant on Commodore Winfield
Scott Schley's flagship, the BROOKLYN.
Earlier in his career, the new head
of the Naval Academy experienced a
narrow escape from death when the
Vandalia was wrecked at Apia, in the
Samoan Islands. AS commander of
the dispatch boat Dolphin he trans
ported the Japanese peace commits
sioners from Oyster Bay to Ports
mouth during the negotiations closing
the Russo-Japanese war IN 1905.
While not all of his work in the line
of duty has been so varied or spectac-
ular, Captain Gibbons brings to
the naval academy a well-rounded
experience in practically every phase of
naval life. He is particularly fitted
for the position, because of the fact
that while he has had plenty of prac-
tical service on sea and ashore. he
can supplement this with several
years work at the Naval Academy
itself since his graduation. He was
detailed to that institution from 1885
to 1888, and again from September.
1891, to September, 1892.
Captain Gibbons was born in Mich
igan, and was appointed to the Naval
Academy from that State in 1875.
He experienced his first sea duty in
1879, when he was assigned to the
Adams, on the Pacific station. There
he remained for two years, at the end
of which time he was commissioned a
midshipman t) the training shin
jamestown.
After three years service on the
latter vessel, Captain Gibbons, then an
ensign, was detailed to the Naval
Academy, and remained on duty there
until 1888. His next transfer was
to the Pacific coast, where he served
successfully on the Mohican, Vandalia
and Adams. 1t was during this time
the Vandalia was wrecked in Samoa.
In the next few succeeding years.
Captain Gibbons had command of the
Coast Survey steamship Gedney, re-
turned for year to the Naval Acad-
emy, and served at the navy yard in
Washington. In July, 1894, he was

The trouble with too many American
homes is that the owners have tried to
express too many ideas. Every room
should express just one. When ono
room has to serve for living room, II
brary and parlor, the result frequently
is Il cuttcred UP mess, that IS quite un-
comfortable. and none OF the nhab
itant, can tell why. In such case. one
should keep the living room idea upper
most all the time. The mistake usually
made is to make a living room, then do
it over again as a library, then again as
a parlor. superimposing one stratum on
the other.
Pictures too are frequent source OF
error. The prevailing custom is just to
select pictures without any relation to
each other or to anything else, whereas
they ought to harmonic with the gen
