LAUGH SAVES MILDLY.
Laugh And the Navy Department
Laughs With You -HumOr Pre-
vents Dismissal of Midship-
man Valentine.

Laugh and the Navy Department
laughs with you, is the latest parody
on the familiar lines.
That justice az the Naval Academy
should be tempered with a sense of
humor as we'll as mercy is the convic-
tion at the Navy Department after the
officials there had pa ssed on the case
of Midshipman r. j. Valentine, of
New York. The laugh in this case
has saved young Valentine from dis
missal from the Academy.
Valentine laughed in church one
Sunday, as have many young men be-
fore him, and got fifty demerits and
confinement to the Naval Academy
grounds. The time for one of the
football games approached and the
mdshipman invited young woman to
go with him, this being quite possible,
as all the games are played within the
Academy limits; but the girl made
her acceptance conditional upon his
calling for her and taking her to the
game.
Not liking to refuse, Valentine
decided to take a chance, and half
concealing himself behind two COM
panions endeavored to slip through
the gate. He was caught and got
l25 demerits. This, with the 80
already received, brought his total
above the permissible number, and
his dismissal was recommended as a
matter of routine.
When the case was received at the
Navy Department the officers there
could not see that Valentine had done
anything which should cause his ma
val career to be terminated and dis
approved the recommendation

FOURTEEN MEN KILLED,
Disastrous Results Follow Explosion
Of Locomotive Boiler.

San Antonio, Tex, March 1S.-Four-
teen men are known 10 have been
killed and score injured today when
the explosion OF a locomotive boiler
wrecked the round house OF the South
ord Pacific Railroad here. Parts OF
the bodies we're blown several hundred
feet by the explosion.
Southern Pacific officials started that
four men we're known to be dea
while other estimates run as high as 20
or 80.
The men at work in the shops were
in the majority strike-breakers brought
into San Antonio by the Southern Pa
citic when the strike OF the machlnlsts
began last fall. The cause Of the eX'
pIosion has not yet been ascertalned,
but charges that dynamite was placed
in the boiler OF the engine are being
made.
Confusion followed the catastrophe
and an accurate estimate OF the dead
could not be made. 1t is possible that
most OF the dead will never be identl'
fed as the bodies we're mangled beyord
recognition. Fragments OF bodies were
found for blocks around the railroad
wards, Not whole body was found.
