ARTISTIC SONG OF
peculiar DESIGN
Quaint Musical Work Known
as "The Artist Ballad

A new popular song, somewhat out
of the ordinary. is the one which has
for its plant the lines beginning
"If l were an artist I'd paint
You so beautiful
That all the world could see
Just how you look to me-
and which is the first of its kind to
revolutionize the old and hackneyed
style Of song writing. The ballad,
which is entitled "All | Can DO is Just
Love YOU" is so different from the
ordinary popular affair that a portion
of its chorus is herewith given

Nelson entity Of Fraud.

The court did not find the charges Of
deceit in regard TO five of the original
seven defendants substantiated In
regard to Midshipman X. NJ Nelson,
Jr., the court finds:
THAT he had an advance copy of the
examination, but, nevertheless, sub
mitted his examination paper without
making a report Of the fact. On the
23d of May, after the first class exam
ination, he returned TO Midshipman
Moss room, obtained the two fourth
class sheets. which, according to tes-
timony. he thought we're the examina-
tion papers prepared oi6ginaly for the
fourth class. That night he
dictated the contents Of these sheets
to about ten fourth classmen
Midshipman Nelson visited the aca-
demic building on various occasions a.
unauthorized times for the alleged
purpose Of obtaining craggingD his
marks. On one or more Of these Oc-
casions he took so-called turbine
sheets, which contained questions pre-
pared in the Department of MarineEn-
ginering and-Navsl Construction to be
asked on future recitations.
These turbine sheets bear the same
relation to coming recitations that ex-
animation sheets bear to coming ex-
aminations. Midshipman Nelson was
guilty Of fraud in using these turbine
sheets; he prodted by them. and,in the
opinion of the court. by such actions
he has attained position in his class
70 which he is not entitled. While
this court Of inquiry was in session
Midshipman Nelson sent an intimidat-
ing message to a lower class midship-
man, a probable witness. and partially
succeeded in an attempt to communi-
cate with another midshipman-w witness
then segregated by order Of the court.
For the aforementioned
acts Of misconduct the court recon-
mends AIidshipman Ralph NJ. Nelson,
Jr., be dismissed from the service"
The seventh one Of the original
seven defendants was Midshipman

ReInefles Snrpesied.

The precapt under which the court
of inquiry met directed it not only TO
investigate the scandals that had been
discovered, but also to recommend
some methods of avoiding arecurrence
of these irregularities. The court
therefore. submits a series OF recon-
mendations. which are not approved
but which are held under considera-
tion. for final action by Secretary OF
Navy Daniels.
The one drastic remedy which, in
the opinion of members of Congress.
would put an end to conditions Of
which these scandals are the legiti-
mate effect namely. the appointment Of
permanent board of instructors in
all the branches taught at the Naval
Academy. is not recommended.
The most important recommenda
tion is the appointment of an"academ-
ic aid" to the superintendent OF the
Academy next in rank to the comman-
dant Of midshipmen. who would, IN
effect. be the head master Of the
school Other recommendations are
that examinations be made not SO long
or so difficult as to make dope" nee
essary; that midshipmen taking part
in athletics be not favored by unus-
ual advanced information; that cadet
officers be regarded as always or duty
and in duty bound to report all infrac-
tions Of regulations or discipline
This matter, says the court. should
not be complicated by any such inter-
mediaries as the "class president" or
an "honor committee" Reference is
made also by the court 10 The careless.
ness Of instructors in leaving un-
guarded the records of their classes.
thus tempting the midshipmen to"rag-
ging" their marks, and it recommend
ed that the marks be published as soon
as practicable after the recitations.
Other recommendations are made. all
of which. it is stated. will receive the
mature deliberation" Of Secretary Of
Navy Daniels.

COLOREO ESCURSIONIST
PARALYzED WITH FEAR
Train En- Route to Gettysburgh
Was Overturned As Car Left
Station.
cOLLIDES WITH EMPTY COACH.
Several Excursionists Slightly Injured
Wounds Dressed at Hospital
But Injured Ones Able to
Go Home.

AS long trafn of cars carrying am
excursion of colored people to Gettys-
burg was pulling out 70 the depot of
the Maryland Electric Railway here at
10 O'Clock this morning. its side came
in contact with an empty electric car
which was about to be switched into
the track next TO the station
one car on the excursion train was
overturned and some OF those inside
were slightly bruised and cut The
authorities of the railway company
stated that the accident was caused by
the front truck of the last coach of
the excursion train leaving the track
at the frog and coming into contact
with the car which was on the parallel
lei track. Some of the spectators
stated that both cars were In motion
at the time of the accident
The statement of the railway COM
pany follows:
AS train composed of nine coaches
of excursionists en- route to Gettys-
burg pulled out of station at 10 a. m.
this morning, the front truck of the
last coach left track at frog point.
coming in contact with coach stand
ing on parallel track.
The train was stopped by emergen-
cy air brake cord in a short distance ;
some few passengers received cutsand
bruises. Fortunately no one was Sc
riously hurt.
The cars in contact were scraped
at the sides and the derailed coach
was rerailed within fifteen minutes.
The excursion then proceeded prompt
ly."
The accident created much excite
ment at the time. A large crowd was
on the excursion train. and there were
many other colored people on the plat
form. The last car of the train was
pushed to the side, and would prob
ably have turned over except for the
rof of the platform shelter, with which
il came in contact. %
The consequences would have been
very serious in this case, as many on
the platform would have been crushed
A portion of the second car from the
rear. and nearly the whole OF the side
of the rear car show marks of the con-
tact with the electric car. The latter
did not leave the track, but was con
siderably damaged
-Four of the excursionists were slight
ly injured and were sent to the Emer-
gency Hospital to have their injuries
dressed These were:
Theresa Blackstone confusion of the
head and back.
Lydia Boston, incised wound of the
wrist.
John McGOwan, and Frances Me-
Gowan, slight injuries to legs
AL were able to leave the hospital
after their wounds were dressed.

Middies Turned Back.

IN the course OF this inquiry Mid
sbipmen y. Click II. r. Whitakcrt J..
e. Wadell and w. II. Hopkins, Jr..w
made interested parties. IL did. not
however develop later that these par
ties were involved in hte irregular
tiles connected with the recent scandal
in the annual examinations in modern
languages. but they were invlovcl in
certain other irregularities.
Midshipman D. Click frequently ac-
companied Midshipman c. M Re8gle
in unauthorized visits to the academic
buildings On one occasion Midship-
man Reagle, Click and Whitaker Wis

tain matter was found and copied
Midshipman J. T. Wadell visited the
academic department at unauthorized
times, being accompanied on certain
occasions by Midshipmen C. NJ Reagle
and Midshipman r. NJ. Nelson, Jr.
For the above acts of misconduct
il is recommended that Midshipmen j
E.Waddell and Horace R.Whittaker De
turned back into the succeeding class
in each case. and that Midshipman
David Click receive Is demerits."
Midshipman ~. II Hopkins. Jr.. was

that in his room On different occasions
were blue prints that apeared on fu-
ture recitations or examinations Hp

Midshipman Reagle surreptitiousIy
and unlawfully He used this natter
to a certain extent. Thee ourt rec
ommends that Midshiman William On

During the inquiry Midshipmau r.
NJ Nelson, Jr.. sent "a threatening mes
sage TO an other midshipman for the
purpose Of preventing his giving GER
tain testimony before the court This
message was received from Mdiship-
man Nelson by Midshipman n. ~.

man A. L. Hutson. who finally trans

The following excerpts are quoted
from the findings and recommends
tions of the court:
"The court, therefore, finds that the

other culpable Irregularities in con
nection with the last annual examina-
tions in modern languages against the

H. H. H. Harrison, w. j. Confer, A. d.

3. Hough. G. d. Price. r. J. Walker"
The court finds that no charges of
fraud. deceit, cheating or other culpa-
BILE irregularities in connection with
the last annual examination in modern
languages against Midshipmen A. C.
Rogers. A. d. Struble, r. Burhen, W J

the evidence.
THE same applies TO Midshipman +
b. Hough, in regard to the above men
toned solutions, found in or about the
academic building, wherethe examina-
tions were held, but. in addition. the
| evidence shows that Midshipman r. NJ
Nelson, Jr., visited the steam building
surreptitiously at unauthorized times
and took and carried away turbine

members OF the second class had ad-

an important phase of the matter
which the court could not fully devel-

every reason 10 believe that most of
these upper classmen got their infor-

According 10 the testimony. most of
those who got the information from
this source did so after half past nine
on the night before the examination.
IL is generally believed that it could
not have reached so many midshipmen
under the circumstances There was
evidence that there were indications
that the modern language department
had been entered three times. and

Done 10 An or Nane

The court believes that the ~dope"
system, the belief by midshipmen OBJ
the markings by sections on recita-
tions and examinations, the belief br
the midshipmen that some sections
and athletes at the training table have
received unusual advance information
or dope" have been. to q certain ex-
tent responsible FOR questionable
methods by the midshipmen. especially
in obtaining dope" and in raging
marks" that is, the practice Of sur
reptitiously entering academic build
ings in an unauthorized mancr and az
unauthorized times for obtaining their
marks.
The court, therefore. recommends
THAT the practice Of giving out dope
or advanced information should be
abolished unless heads Of departments
isue it by memoranda, thus insurinR
that all receive it in equal amounts
and in the same form.

Reagle pecIared Perinrer.

III regard to Midshipman Charles n.
Reagle, the court finds that
ON many occasions he
entered the academic buildings sur
reptitously and without authority.
where he obtained his marks. and vari-
Gus matters in the form Of advance in
formations on recitations and eXami-
nations. Furthermore. i'm the veridca-
tion of his testimony. his testimony
was changed so materially and in a
mancr SO directly conflicting with his
previous answers as 70 cause much
comment
For the aforementioned miscon-
duct the court recommends that Mid
shipman Charles M.Reagle be dismiss
ed from the naval service While full
~ aware that this is a very mild pun
ishment for the grave onensc of false
swearing before a naval court. this
court has been Influenced in making
this recommendation by all the sur
round circumstances Midshipmau
Reagle also saw one OF the advance
copies of the examination sheets"

Easier Exams Irgcd.

THAT examinations should not hc
made so long or SO difficult as to make
q dope system necessary. for "a great
portion of a class To pass examinations

THAT 20 insure the confidence Of

all. no officer, professor or instructor
should be permitted 10 give any in
struction or information in regard To

shinman outside OF section rooms. eN-
cept al regularly authorized mstruc-
ton periods, open 20 an members OF
the class.
THAT sections should not he group
ed by marks, but should be grouped al
phaborically and that means should
be taken to see that midshipmen TAX

THE court also recommends for the
consideration of the department the
