WILSON TALKS TO
NNAPOL|S GRADS
Tells Them Mission of Their
Country Is One of Service
TO Humanity.

|. ANNAPOLIS, Md. June 5.--Presi-
dent Wilson today told 154 graduates
of the Naval Academy, many of whom
leave shortly for Mexican waters, that
the mission of the United States is one
of service to humanity, not of ag-
grandizement nor conquest. He spoke
ut the annual academy graduation
exercises and later delivered the di-
plomas to the young midshipmen. He
declared the duty of the United States
is to serve the world.
Speaking of the Vera Cruz situation
the President reverently declared that
II pray God the boys there will not
have to fight any more
He added that the real good they
will do will be their impression on the
MeXicans.
"They are notstruttihg and buster
ing" he went on. THE people of Vera
Cruz who despised and hated Amer
leans will think differently of them
when our boys leave"
The President spoke in a huge ar
mory packed with more than 5000 Of
ficers, midshipmen and relatives and
friends of the graduates. He was en-
Enthusiastically cheered during his ad-
dress.
Welcomed by salutes from the
battleships Idaho, Missouri and Illi-
nois and the station ship Reina Mer-
cedes, the President arrived here this
morning on the Mayfiower from
Washington to take part i'm the eX-
ercises. Captain W. f. Fullam, su-
perintendent of the academy; Cap
tain W. c. Logan, commandment. and
Lieutenant Commander Chauncey
Shackford went out to meet the May
flower in a launch and brought the
President and Secretary of the Navy
Daniels ashore and took them di-
rectly to the academy armory where
the exercises were held. As the
presidential party landed on the bank
of the Severn, another salute doomed
from a short battery.
A bad wind and rain storm made
the going difficult for the Mayflower
throughout the night, but the presi-
dental party suffered only inconven-
ience and had no serious trouble.

.SUPT. POLAND'S
SELECT|ONFOR
AIDE REJECTED

The recommendation of City Super
intendent of Schools Addison B.
Poland to have Arthur Y. Taylor
named assistannsuperintendent was
flatly turned down by the Board of
Education in caucus last night. 10
one was chosen for the place. It is
believed that Martin l.. Cox, princi-
pal of the Thirteenth Street School,
will be. chosen for the place as he
has six votes out Of a total Of nine
The members of the board arrived
at the City Hall shortly after s
o'clock. 1t was midnight when they
appeared for open meeting. When
the board could not decide for them
selves they invited superintendent
Poland to enter the conference room.
Itis known that Superintendent Po-
land backed Taylor for the position.
As soon as, he entered the room the
door was slammed and the real wran-
Cling began. President Taylor lead
the attack on Arthur Y. Taylor in
favor of Mr.. Cox.
Mr.. Poland was as firm in the
room as Huerta is in Mexico said
one of the members of the board TO-
day. He fought like a tiger"
Mr. Poland argued that if his man
was not chosen, it would be a turn
down for him. Even this was of no
avail
The action of the board was a big
surprise TO the hackers of Mr.. Tay-
lor, who is head assistant of the Latin
department at BarringeT High School.
Last week it was all fixed for Mr..
Taylor to get the place. The inside
workings of the Taylor hackers were
found out and the attack followed.
1t was stated about the board quar-
ters last night that Mr. Taylor was o
be named for purely spite reasons"
After he was defeated for the prinei-
palship of the South Side High
School. it was declared that the board
promised to take care of him.
The board win request the Civil Ser
vice Commission To take the name of
julius Schwartz, draughtsman for
merly employed in the office of the
boards architect, Z. f. Guilbert, off
the list. The Common Council will
be asked to appropriate $4,000 for
the building Of an administration
building on the site and additional
grounds adjoining the Fawcett School

MUST SURRENDER
ED|SON|A LEASES
To THE TRUSTEE

| "A decision which directs the turn
ing. over OF instalment contracts of
the bankrupt Edisonia Company.
valued at $4,000. to the trustee. was
handed down today by Edwin G.
Adams, referee in bankruptcy The
instalment contracts. known as
leases" in legal phraseology, are
held by the Gotham Clearing House.
of New York city.
The theory on which the referee
bases his decision is that the Gotham
Clearing House carried on banking
| business with the Edisonia Company
in violation of the banking laws of
New York State, and exceeded the
rights authorized by the business cor
poration laws of that State.
The opinion of the referee is the
most important decision reached in
the tangled affairs of the Edisonia
Company. This concern conducted
the sale of pianos on the instalment
plan before its failure in December,
1872 When the bankruptcy proceed
ings were instituted ii developed that
the Edisonia company had secured
large sums of money as loans, depos-
Iiting instalment contracts as collateral
for such loans.
Henry a Heser, representing the
Standard Piano Company, which now
occupies the salesrooms vacated by
the Edisonia company, at Broad
street and Central avenue. appeared
against the Gotham Clearing House.
Mr.. Heiser pointed out that the
Gotham concern had given discounts
to the bankrupt for loans and that
this transaction was in violation of
the New York banking laws. Attor-
ney Heiser is associated with Pierce
& Hoover as counsel for Trustee
Frank W. Long.
In addition to the Gotham Clearing
House leases there are hundreds of
other Edisonia leases distSibuted
among forty banks as collateral for
loans. The failure OF the Edisonia
company brought to light the fact
that many of the money-lending
banks and business houses hold dupli-
cate and triplicate leases as collateral.
Charges of obtaining money under
false pretenses were brought to the
attention Of Prosecutor Louis Hood,
and it is understood that the pro-
moters of Edisonia company will be
indicted
