Senator Bradley Names Him
For a MidShipman Va
Cancy.
EXAMINATION ON JUNE 9Th.
Is a Son Of Circuit Clerk W. A.
RadfOrd and Is "a
Democrat.

Senator Bradley on Saturday APP
pointed w. 7. Radford, of this city,
principal. and r. F. Harris, of Yer
sailles. alternate, for midshipman,
in the naval academy. He said:
Since | came into Office / have
nominated four candidates for mid
shipman at Annapolis. One of these
failed to appear for examination;
two failed to pass both examinations,
though eacn passed one; and one
passed both examinations who there
after resigned. Although | have
been in Office more than four years
have never succeeded in making a
successful appointment to Annapo-
lis.
THE examination is very severe
and technical and has not been pass
ed. with but very few exceptions,
unless the candidate had attended a
naval school for twelve months at
least. The rext examination will
take place June 5. and in the event
of failure Of the candidate to pass
the right to appoint will lapse and
Kentucky will lose the place.
In view of the peculiar conditions
existing | thought the only wise and
safe course to pursue would be to
appoint X ntucky district applicants
who have successfully passed the ex-
aminations as slternstes. but could
not be appointed because their prin-
cipals passed also. / have therefore
appointed William Tandy Radford,
of Hopkinsvile. as principal, and
Thomas Field Harris, of Versailles,
as first alternate"
The examination will be held June
8. Young Radford is Democrat
and is son of Circuit c ERIK Walter
A. Radford and entered the West
Point Military School last fall. but
tailed in January by narrow mar
gin in English. Since that time he
has been under special instruction
and hoped to be reappointed. but
Senator Bradley rendered the ap-
pointment to the naval academy,
which he will accept. His friends
feel sure that he will pass all exami-
nations. His alternate has already
passed the mental examination, as
stated by Senator Bradley.

it is necessary to guard against too

English Suffragettes are threateI

English Suffragettes are threaten
ing violence that will eclipse any
thing in history. The authorities
have secured evidence that many
former constitutional suffraeettes
have joined the militant body since
the defeat of the woman's suffrage
bill. There is no question that the
number of the militants is growing
larger. Damage to property IN the
British isles eau sed by militant suff-
ragettes during the past three
months amounts 10 more than So
900, 0O0 according to an official esti-
mate made by authorities at police
headquarters in Scotland Yard. To
this they say must be added the in
creased cost Of protecting lives and
property. Three detectives have
been assigned to watch over every
member of the cabinet at all times.
while all suspected persons are shad-
owed by plain clothes men. and all
public buildings have been placed
under special guard. Figured at
this rate the suffrapette activities
are costing the country at least
SIS, 900 900 a year.
