Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-Congressm Edward t.
Taylor pointed out to the House OF
Representatives how Colorado boys
have been making good" at Annap-
oils Naval Academy. He said:
81 had the pleasure of visiting the
United States Naval Academy at Ann
apolis and attending the graduating
exercises of the class of 1914.
THAT class started four years ago
with 2S1 members and graduated only
154 There were three Colorado boys
In the class, and all three of them were
within the ten honor graduates of the
class.
"Midshipman Edward Ellsberg. OF
Denver graduated with the highest
honors and was the first one to be pre-
sented with his diploma by President
Woodrow Wilson. Young Ellsberg not
only graduated at the head OF the
class of 1914. but he led his class dur
ing the entire four years course and
was the honor man at the end of each
year. In addition to the distinction OF
making the highest record in scholar
ship during the entire four years. he
ais. He won the splendid silver cup
annually donated by the Daughters OF
the American Revolution for the one
in each graduating class who attains
the highest proficiency In seamanship
and international law. He also won
the honorary prize OF a navigating sex
tant presented annually by Col. II. M.
Thompson, of the class of '6S. for the
highest proficiency in navigation. Also
a medal for fencing. another for the
championship in dueling. and two or

say work.
Another boy. Midshipman Freder-
ick E. Pelton Of Denver stood fourth
in the class one year, fifth another.
sixth another, and graduated eighth In
the class.
81 am supremely proud to say to the
House that those two Colorado boys
were my first appointments to Annap-
oils. They were the two highest in a
competitive examination which held
during my first term in Congress.
1.-THE other Colorado boy that grad
uated with honors was Abraham Mar
ron, also Of Denver. appointed by the
late Senator Charles ]. Hughes, Jr.
His standing was ninth in the class.
l believe / am safe in saying that no
state in this union has ever equaled
this record. 1t speaks well for our
school system and is an inspiration to
the youth OF our state. Colorado is
proud of these boys, and they are en-
titled to this mention and this record.
because the course at that academy Is
most awfully hard work.
by reason of their rank. Midship-
man Ellsberg was allowed to select
his ship, and he chose the new battle
ship Texas, while. / understand,
young Pelton and Marion chose tho
battleship Maryland, to which they
will be assigned.
This is the first time In the history
OF our state that Colorado has carried
off the highest honors at Annapolis.
Some twenty-five years ago Gen. 1rv-
ing Hale from Colorado was the honor
man at West Point, and he has been n
credit to our state ever since: and /
am confident that these three Colo
rado boys will likewise during the fu-
ture years be an honor to our country.

''Therc has been considerable interest
in the results OF trials with Swedish ped

lieve that IL this state had the same in

as has the sister state to the east, we
would have done even better.
