 Counsel for Police Lieutenant Chas. Becker now behind the bars on charges of instigating the murder of the gambler, Herman Rosenthal, was busy today preparing the defense of the accused lieutenant. Beoker''s law yer, it is learned, expects to show that he was the victim of a gamblers plot headed by "Bald Jack Rose and the men who have supported his "confes- sion." Rose and these men, counsel will assert, all have sufficient req sons to seek revenge on Becker foT his activities against them ;2It will be alleged further by counsel that a plot to murder Rosenthal was conceiv- ed three months before he was actual- ly killed, but the plan was abandolfea at the instance of certain East Sidb gamblers It will be contended that Rosenthal was offered $10,000 to go to Canada, but that when he demanded $25, ,0OO it was decided to make away with him. t.t%

 Change Form of Government.

New Orleans, Aug. 27.-The elec- tors of New Orleans will determine at a special election tomorrow whether the city shall have commission form of government.

BEAUTIFUL MUSIC.
Marks the Michaelmas Services at
Saint Anne's Church Yesterday.

When the feast of st. Michael and
All Angels falls upon a Sunday, as it
did yesterday, opportunities are
given the choirmaster almost as great
as at the better known festivals of
Christmas and Easter. The subject
of the angels has ever hean popular
with poets and musicians. so that
there is large number of beautiful
hymns and fine anthems to draw from.
Choirmaster Wilkinson had this in
mind for his music at St. Anne's
Church yesterday. The TIE Deum
was by Stanford. brilliant compost
tion. The offertorium was Cruick-
shank's anthem for Michaelmas. 1t
is musical setting to that portion
of the Book of Revelation txii :g-12)
which begins with the words There
was war in heaven. Ii consists Of
a tenor recitative at the beginning,
and ends with the chorus Therefore
rejoice.
1t is Cruickshank' most celebrated
anthem, and was beautifully rendered
by st. Aune's choir yesterday. The
anthem at the evening service was
Marston's setting to the words of a
hymn my God my Father while l
stay" The psalms (proper for the
day were exquisitely sung to chants
by Dupuis and Hopkins. Both SER
vices were well rendered and Michael
mas will serve as a standard for
church music during the coming
months.

Mr.. C. F. STRANGE FAST WALKER
Hikes it to Baltimore in the Fast
Time Of Five and a Half Hours.

To walk from this city to Balti-
more in the fast time of five hours
and thirty minutes was the feat ac-
complished yesterday by Mr.. C.
Franklin Strange well knowh young
man of Annapolis.
Mr.. Strange is fond of walking and
fire luently takes long hikes across
country, and his time of yesterday
would indicate that he is some fast
stepping pedestrian.
Mr.. Strange t5ok yesterdays ram
BILE partly for the purpose of equaling,
if not bettering, the time of charles
Rausch, young man of Baltimore,
who, few weeks ago, started from
The Sun Building. in Baltimore, and
arrived in this city in FIVE hours and
twenty-eight minutes. Mr.. Strange
followed the boulevard route to Glen
Burnie, thence to Ferry Bar on the
Pataspco river.
He left the foot of King George
and Randall streets at LIS O'Clock
Yesterday afternoon and arrived at
Ferry Bar at 6.45. He thinks has
route is longer than that followed Dy
Rausch, who walked the Short Line
tracks as far as Robinson's Station,
and then took the boulevard.
And, besides, Mr.. Strange says he
stopped about three minutes at Glen
Burnie, and several times along the
road to get the pebbles out of his
shoes.

MODES RETURN FOR
OPENING OF ACADEMY
Five Hundred Students Report
From Leave This Morning.
STUDIES BEGIN TONIGHT.
RecitatiOns in the Morning Will Start
the Grind Of the Years Routine
Of Work.

Flushed with the pleasure afforded
by their annual September vacations,
now at an end. over five hundred mid
shipmen, comprising the first, second
and third classes of midshipmen, re-
turned to Annapolis today and are
ready for the formal reopening of
the Naval Academy for the academic
term tomorrow morning.
The fourth class, that was taken
into the Academy this summer, has
progressed in the regular routine to
such an extent that the scholastic
work and practical exercises will be-
gin without hitch.
The middies of the three upper
classes who went on leave August
2S and 80 with the return of the
ships from the summer practice
cruise were under orders to report
their return to the Academy at IL
o'clock this morning and according
to the authorities all hands had put
in appearance at Bancroft Hall at
that hour and reported to the com.
mandant of midshipmen Commander
George w. Logan.
The remainder of today is being
given over to assignment of the stu
dents to quarters and arranging of the
details preparatory to the opening.
By 7.30 O'Clock this evening, every
thing will have been completed and
the middies will be called to their
rooms for studies. Bright and early
in the morning, the routine of the
year will get under way with the
sounding of reveille, and after break
fast, the small "army" of Uncle
Sans future sea commanders will be
making their way to the recitation
rooms in the several buildings.
And, once in their class room, the
middics will note many new faces
among the corps of officers and in
structors, as many changes have been
made during the summer through the
usual course of detachments and trans
fers to other duty. Notable among
these are the transfer of Prof. Stim.
son j. Brown from head of the depart
ment of mathematics to duty on the
special ordinance hoard in Washing
ton, and Prof. Henry M. Paul, of the
same department, who has been placed
on waiting orders. Incidentally, 1T
will not be long before Professor
Paul goes on the retired list.
1t is said that some ething like forty
changes have occurred in the roster
of officers during the summer. The
academic staff for the term will num-
ber about rs officers. The staff COM
prises the officers of the several de-
partments. There are many other
officers on duty at the station not at
tached to the staff.

REINA MERCEDES ARRIVES.
Trophy Of Conflict with Spain Becomes
Official Station Ship Of Naval
Academy.

Conveyed by the government tug
Patuxent, the old cruiser Reina Mer-
cedes, one of the trophies of the
American-Spanish war, which was
captured at the battle of Santiago,
arrived here this morning and was
placed at her berth at the end of San
tee dock.
The Reina Mercedes is the new
station ship Of the Naval Academy.
replacing Admiral Farragut's old flag
ship, the Hartford, that is to be con-
veyed to the navy yard at Charleston.
The old cruiser was brought down
the coast from the naval training sta
tion at Newport by the Patuxent, with
the aid Of the tug Lebanon. The lat
ter, however, did not act as CONVOY
on the trip up the bay. The Mercedes
had been used as the station ship at
the Newport station for several years.
She is about the same size and. in
general appearance, resembles the
old Santee, being rooted. thus provid-
ing living qarters for the officer in
charge of ships.
Soon the old Hartford will be taken
to Charleston, and though she is to be
used as the station ship at the navy
yard there, replacing the cruiser Balti-
more, which has been ordered to. Phil
adelphia that will probably be her
last assignment.
