SPEAKS in BALTIMORE
Superintendent FuIIam Addresses So
ciely Of Colonial Wars

Ina speech delivered last night at
the twenty-first annual banquet of the
Socie ty of Coloinsl Wars. held at the
Belyedere Hotel, Baltimore, Capt.
William r. Fullsm, superintendent
Of the Naval Academy, declared that
if the Government expended as much
money a yesr on the navy az il does
on pensions fifteen dreadnaughts
could be built annually.
He declared also that if as much
money should be expended on battle
ships as had been spent by the ecun-
try in DC nsions since that system had
been instituted line of battleships,
each battleship 400 yards apart,
would reach for a distance of ll6
miles. The comparison was used to
show, as he said, that larger navy
would be more economical to the
country that it would shorten what
wars there would be and perhaps pre-
vent other conflicts, the pension rolls
of the future hereby being reduced.
The pension system, he explained.
had grown TO such proportions be-
carse lack of preparations for war
had caused struggles TO be protract-
ed far beyond the period they should
have g)ne. In other words, as the
pension list went down, there would
be more money TO expend on war
ships. AS the warships were con-
structed, safeguards against an in
crease of pensions would be built up,
the net result being a real saving to
the Government in the final analysis.
Captain Fullam paid a splendid
tribute to the heroes of the army and
the navy in all the wars in which
this country has engaged. The topic
of his spe ech was 1.-The Value of the
Navy as a Protection to the Nation. !"
He showed where the navy was a
real re preventative of the people Of
the country. Ninety per cent. of the
men in the navy, he said, are Ameri =
can citizens.
1t was Captain Fullam's maiden
speech in Baltimore. His address
was marked by a logical grasp of his
subject and by real common sense elo-
quence. The banquet marked the two
hundred and eightieth annive rsary Of
the landing of the Ark and Dove on
Maryland shores. DR.. Henry Barton
Jacobs was toastmaster and delivered
the address of welcome.

OFFICER JONES KEPT BUSY.
Crap Players Jump From Windows

A Representative of the Evening
Capital has just learned particulars
of a lively skirmish that took place
at Eastport on Sunday afternoon last.
1t appears that p ,lice Officer Jones
received information that about
wenty young men were engaged in
playing crap in a small yellow hJuse
that is built in the waters of Spa
creek. Officer Jones made a dash for
the law violators of the Sabbath day,
but unfortunately one of the "watch-
ers" saw him heading their way,
with result that as the officer as
cended the stairs to the second floor,
the crap players jumped out Of the
windows from all four sides of the
building.
Officer Jones says that he has all
the names of the gamblers and Sab
bath desecraters, and that he is fully
determined to put an end TO this form
of lawlessness. The Evening Capital
wishes Mr.. Jones every success, and
it admires his praiseworthy conduct.
The lawbreakers had better stop and
take warning, or else they will have
to pay heavy fines or go 10 Jail.

TO HAVE THREE BATTALIONS
Capt. FuIlam Behind Plan To Provide
a Rack as Cadet Officer for All
Frat Class Middies.

The military organization of midship-
men will be brigade of three battal-
ions, in the next academic year, instead
of two as at present, according to a
plan outlined by Captain William +.
Fullam, superintendent of the academy.
Captain Fullsm states that this is
contemplated in order that billets as
cadet officers of one rank or another
may be provided for all first classmen,
instead of some of them being relegat-
ed to the ranks. As the middies ex-
press it, this will DO away with all
"clean sleevers," as insignias are
worn only by those holding some rank.
As prelude to the new scheme,
Captain Fullam announced today that
for the remainder of the academic
term. all FIRST classmen now in the
ranks of the brigade, will be made
petty officers. This is further in lire
with the superintendent S general plan
to place FIRST classmen more on the
footing Of commissioned officers in view
of the fact that upon graduation they
are Immediately commissioned as
ensigns.

WILSON WOULD HELP NEGROES
TO AID THEMSELVES.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18th. Out
lining his attitude towards the
Negro, President Wilson told the
university commission on Southern
race questions, made up of repre-
sentatives of eleven Southern col
leges, that "our object is to know
the needs of the Negro and sympa-
thetically help him in every way
that is possible for his good and
our good"
DR.. Brough of the University of
Arkansas, chairman of the COM
mission, told the President that the
commission was organized to make
an impartial study of the race
question from the standpoint of the
Negroes economic, hygienic, civic
and moral betterment. He said a
deep investigation of the subject is
being made with the Negroes good
always in mind.
~ am glad to express my sincere
interest in this work and sympathy
with it," said the President in
reply to DR.. Brough. u think
men like yourselves can be trusted
to see this great question at every
angle. There is not any question,
it seems to me, into which more
candor needs to be put or more
thorough human feeling than this.
1 know myself as a Southern man
how sincerely the heart of the
South desires the good of the
Negro and the advancement of his
race on all sound and sensible lines
and everything that can be done in
that direction is of the highest
value. 1t is a matter OF common
understanding. A charming story
is told of Charles Lamb. Converse
ton turned upon some man who
was not present and Lamb said: l
hate that fellow His friend said:
i did not know you knew him.
Lamb said L don't; l can't hate
fellow / know | think that is
a very profound human fact. You
cannot hate man you know. And
our object is to know the needs of
the Negro and alphabetically help
him in every way that is possible
for his good and for our good. L
can only bid you godspeed in what
is a very necessary and great
undertaking"

ALABAMA GOVERNORS BRAVE WORDS

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. 10
In committing the death sentence
of Irving Pope, charged with kill
ing a white man. to life imprison-
ment, Governor O'Neal said that
the accused had been convicted hive
times for the crime, but that the
decision had been reversed each
time on account of errors. de
points out that while many whites
protested against Communication OF
sentence, Pope had bori.e good
FenRate4 fer gea56f and AID a4tHi59ffa ae
appointed by the court defended
him at his last trial. Gov. O'Neal
concludes:
"The fact that there was no
motive by reason of poverty or need
for him to commit the crime is a
strong circumstance in his favor
Defendant has but few friends and
no influence, and arrayed against
him is a strong and powerful public
sentiment as established by numer-
Gus petitions and letters filed in
this office opposing executive Glenn
ency. He is, however, a citizen OF
Alabama, and however humble or
obscure, is entitled to the protection
Of the law"
