sideration Of the record tomorrow.
The findings and recommendation will

In his closing address to-day Judge
Advocate Watts expressed his belief
in the guilt OF the seven original de-
PENDANTS and Of ten midshlpmen made
defendants by the court Nine other
midshiTmen made defendants since the
proceedings began were admitted by
him 10 be innocent. These are Arthur
y. Struble, William J. Nunnally, G..
Raymond Burhen, Walter J. Confer, II.
II. II. Harrison, Armisted c. Rogers,
George K. Price, Robert J. Walker and
7. L. Denny. Denny was the only mid
shipman who saw the original papers
who was not thought guilty by the
judge advocate.
The original defendants, all Of whom
made use Of the sheets received through
the mail by Midshipman James +. Moss,
are Ralph Nick. Nelson, Leonard F.
Vessel, Chaplin +. Evans, Stuart A.
Hamilton, Thomas W. Harrison, jr,

taker and William II. Hopkins. jr., was
expressed by the judge advocate.
Judge Watts claimed that the mid
shipmen could not have failed to real
ize that they had advance copies Of the
examination when they saw them, and
that their secrecy with them, their de-
structlon OF every copy, and their ef-
forts 10 cOerce witnesses indicated
their guilt. lie argued that If by any
chance they did not recognize their
character, all the members Of the first
and second classes knew when they
entered the examination room that they
had the examination in advance and
that it was a fraud, under the circum-
stances, 70 submit their papers or fail
TO report the fact.
The judge advocate claimed that
many Of the criticisms made by Rep

REALTY COMPANY
PASSES DIVIDEND
Action Taken After Ii Sold 10
Vincent AstOr Bronx Plot
for $S50,OOO.

The quarterly dividend of the Ameri-
can Real Estate Company, payable July
10. has been deferred An official Of
the company, in giving the reasons for
the postponement, said last night that
one of them was the fact that its
standing in Connecticut had not vet
been legally and satisfactorily defined
As the company was being assailed in
that state, the directors decided il was
wiser 70 defer the dividend.
simultaneously with this announce
ment statement was issued in which
II was SAID that the company yesterday
sold TO Vincent Astor an office build
ing at Mclrose Avenue and l49th
Street, The Bronx, for SS50,000. The
company took in part payment a por-
tion Of the undeyelopcd Astor holdings
at the northeast corner of Jerome Ave
nue. and West 10th Street, from the
Grand Boulevard 20 the Concourse.
This is the first improved Bronx hold
ing ever bought by an Astor.
Il is understood that a substantial
cash consideration TO the American
Real Estate Company formed part Of
the transaction.
Hartford, Conn. July l5.-Informa-
tion Of the pOstponement Of the quar-
terly dividend Of the American Real
Estate Company came as blow TO
many stockholders who were planning
to use the money for their vacations.
The circular letter says the demands
OF Connecticut investors and their at
torneys for money back are such a
drain the dividend cannot be consid-
cred at this time
The company has two days for its
promise to absolve itself by applying
this week through its attorneys for a
license TO operate in Connecticut.
