Notwithstanding the fact that the rules
OF the academy forbade the placing OF
decorations in the rooms. An inspec
tor demonstrated with him and ordered
him TO remove the PRAYER Evans
swore that he would smash the face OF
the first man who touched II. The In
spector referred the act OF iusubordi
nation to the commandant. who took II
up with the secretary Of the navy.
Evans wrote home about the episode
II got into the papers. An Indignation
meeting was held In his home town
and protest made TO the president
In the end n special dispensation was
granted. allowing the cadet TO keep his
decoration
Being a virginian. young Evans was
urged by his mother 10 throw In his LOT
with the south when the civil war
came. This he declined TO do. so II fell
out that he aud his brother fought on
opposite sides during the civil war.
