ROBINSON BURIED TODAY
Funeral Over Remains OF Popular
Young Man Who Was Killed
BY Father-In-Law This
Afternoon.
EAGLES WILL ATTEND.
Members OF Local Organization Are
To Act As Pail l-Bearers-Will
Recall The Grand jury.

With every indication that il will
be attended by a large crowd of
sympathetic friends, as well as many
sorrowing relatives, funeral services
will this afternoon be held over the
remains of William Robinson, the
popular and well-liked young man
who died Wednesday night following
the murderous assault of his father
in-law, Albert Tyler, who is now
in the Baltimore city Jail for safe
keeping from the vengeance of young
Robinson's indignant friends.
The services will be conducted in
the little Baptist Chapel at Eastport.

dered young man was a prominent

the church the body will be brought

mother-in-aw, Mrs. Catherine Tyler.
the first Of her husbands 5 victims to
succumb to her wounds inflicted by
him in his murderous assault, who
died at the Emergency Hospital on
Tuesday night.
States Attorney Nicholas II. Green
and Judge James r. Brashears, of
the Circuit Court, are still awaiting
the outcome of the injuries to young
Robinson's wife, who is a patient in
the hospital, suffering from pistol
wound in her face and severe beat
ing over her head, inflicted at the same
time her husband and mother received
their mortal injuries. She is slowly
recovering but has not yet been in
formed of her husbands death, as the
physicians fear the result of such
shock in her present pitiful condition.
AS soon as her condition permits it,
it is understood, plans will be made
to call together again the October
grand jury, that Tyler, the self-con-
fessed murderer, may be indicted and
brought to trial. The universal indig-
nation and horror of the community
over the double murder is such that it
is thought best to move the wheels
of justice as swiftly as possible, and
unless the last jury is recalled the
man could not be even indicted until
next April.

MENTALLY UNBALANCED"
Is Verdict OF Washington Jury In Case
OF Mrs. Catherine M. B. Jones
OF Arundel 0n-The Bay.

Much local interest has been
manifested in the case on trial for
some weeks past in the courts Of
Washington, ID. c., inquiring into
the mental state of Mrs. Catherine
NJ. B. Jones, IS years old. wife of
bill Jones the Ayenger, both of
whom own property in this county,
and spend some months each year at
Arundel-on-the-Ba where they own
a beautiful site known as Hammock
Hill"
Mrs. Jones' husband is some twenty
years, or more, her junior, and gained
his title of "Bill Jones the Ayenger"
from having, it is claimed, killed a
man in self-defense. Mrs. Jones'
last summer at the election for Mayor
and Commissioners at Arundel, cast
her ballot, the right of suffrage being
granted all women who own property
at Arundel-on-the-Bay. Voting at S5
is novel feat for a woman.
Yesterday the Washington jury
sitting in the case rendered ver-
dict that Mrs. Catherine M. B.
Jones, SO years old, wife of bill
Jones the Avenger, is of unsound
mind, which verdict was returned yes
terday afternoon after deliberation
lasting five hours. The jury decided
that the mental incapacity has existed
since June /, 1909.
No committee has been appointed
by the court to conserve the real es-
tate of Mrs. Jones, which comprises
a farm near Brookland valued at
$4,000. No such action will be taken
by the court until after the expira-
tion of the usual four days allowed
for the filing of a motion for new
trial. Counsel for Mrs. Jones are
engaged in the preparation of this
motion, which will shortly be filed.
There was no order of commitment
to the Government Hospital for the in
sane and no application for such order
was made. The condition of Mrs.
Jones. it is admitted on both sides,
is not such as to call for incarcera-
tion in an asylum. The purpose

MIDDIES TAKE UP SOCCER.
Sailor Players Took A Taste OF The
Game At The Academy Yesterday
Afternoon.

Soccer may be placed on the list of
intercollegiate sports at the Naval
Academy next season, if ii meets with
the popularity among the Middies it
is expected will result from a series
CT practice matches between teams
from the four classes which are being
started at the Academy.
Practice was begun yesterday af-
ternoon under Midshipman Dalton
captain of the football team, and who
had played Soccer before entering the
Academy. About fifty Middies re-
sponded to the call and manifested
much interest-in the game.
A fiele was laid off on the parade
grounds. south of Bancroft Hall. and
a squad of about fifty responded to
the call for the first afternoons prac-
tice. Four teams were made up, two
from the fourth class and two from
the other Midshipmen and two prac-
tice games were held.
Quite number of the regular foot
ball players, as well as officers were
present., and much interest was taken
in the games. The game is expected
to be particularly valuable, as it will
help to keep the Midshipmen engaged
in some form of sport between the
closing of tn regular football season
and the beginning of the spring
sports.
1t is expected that a regular team
will be formed next year and matches

AN ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION.
Policy OF Navy Department Not To
Eliminate Middies After Graduation.

An entirely erroneous impression
prevails, especially at the Naval Acad
emy. says a recent issue of the Army
and Navy Journal, concerning the
policy of the Navy Department in the
matter of Midshipmen.
1t has been assumed that the de
partment desires TO discharge Mid
shipmen as soon as possible after
graduation at Annapolis in order to
reduce the number of officers on the
active list. 1t is surprising to the
naval authorities that any such inn
preston should prevail.
So far as the Navy Department is
able to follow policy in such a sit
uation, it is desired to apply the pro
cess of elimination in the grade of
lieutenant AMI observation-disclosures
rather than in the junior places.
Midipmen who have received special
training at Annapolis. after consid-
erable cost to the government. are
naturally considered of value for serv-
ice m commissioned grades until. at
least, they attain the rank of lieuten-
ant. Otherwise, it would be an edu-
cation of midshipmen TO no practical
purpose and with no return on the
part of the midshipmen for the tine.
effort and money devoted to their
education
There is need today of some two
hun1red additional line officers in
order to all the billets on board the
new ships 1t is a serious question
confronting the naval authorities
created by the lack of junior line
officers for duty a1oat 1t is certain
that under such circumstances IL
would be unwise to discharge the Mid
shipmen at time when they would
be of most value to the service. Be-
sides, Congress would not take kindly
to the idea of discharging Midship-
men at the end of their four-year
course at the Naval Academy.
If such a policy were adopted,
Congress would speedily decide the
should be reduced in
order to keep the output of the Ma
val Academy within the requirements
for commissioned officers. On the
other hand, Congress would hesitate
to do this since it would eurtail am
privilege of more or less
individual political value

Secretary Meyer pointed out yes
terday that the reorganization of the
Bureau of Navigation was the last
link in his chain of reforms and that
it was the only bureau whose duties
have been materially lessened by the
introduction of the aid system. The
changes already made, he said, had
resulted in increased efficiency.
Commander Andrews, the Secre-
tary said, was an efficient officer,
closely in touch with the younger off,
GERS of the service. The aid for per-
sonnel, he said, being an officer of
high rank, was in touch with the Sc
nior officer of the navy, so that no
element of the service would be un-
represented at the Department.
When it was suggested to Secretary
Meyer that the opposition to his plans
might carry the fight to the Senate
and oppose the confirmation of Com
mander Andrews appointment, he
said he believed the appointment
would be confirmed nevertheless. The
transfer would not be made, how
ever, if the situation in China con-
tinued at all critica. That is, Rear
Admiral Nicholson would receive
some other sea command, probably
with the Pacific fleet, rather than
displace Admiral Murdoch in the
midst of troublous times in China.
Admiral Nicholson is taking no part
in the opposition to his removal and
refuses to discuss the controversy.
