fourth class. Nelson seemed TO be inti-
mate with MidshipmanMoss and a num-
ber of the members of the fourth class,
but gave it as his opinion that this was
due TO Nelson's willingness to help
members OF other classes. He said he
regarded Nelson as man OF unusual
character because of his ability, and
added that the entire class thought
highly of him.
Midshipman Kell admitted that he
had seen the turbine sheets in Nelson's
room, but stated that he did not place
importance in them Midshipmen A.
z. King and Allan Barnett were the
other classmates of Nelson who were
examined along similar lines. Bar
nett knew nothing of the turbine sheets
King said he had seen them, but that
ne thonght they were old papers.

M|DD|ES COULD NOT
RECOGNIZE PAPER
Instructor Cotton Says it Was Un.
like Most Exams.
STILL DIGGING AFTER SENDER
But the Veil Of Mystery is As Heavy
As Ever---Nelson Again a
Target.

The naval court OF inquiry spent q
good bit OF time this morning in an
other endeaver to ascertain the origin
of the examination papers in modern
languages that got in general circula-
ton among the midshipmen prior to
the date of the examinations, but the
matter remains clothed in as deep a
mystery as ever.
In this connection. Instructor Mol
ton A Coulton, an instructor in the Ian
guages and who is member OF the
committee that had to do with he print
ing of the questions, was heard by the
court. He gave precisely the same tes-
timony as other instructors who have
preceded him on the stand, and gave
it as his belief that the papers could
not have gotten astray, except through
someone entering the department S
rooms, and pilfering the drawer in
which the batch of papers had been Sc
curely locked.
Instructor Cotton not only admitted
that the examination propounded for
the first and second classes was hard
one, but also said that the midship-
men who saw the paper in advance
could hardly recognize it as an actual
examination paper.
Instructor Jose Martel was another
witness examined along this line, but
he knew nothing except as to the meth
ods of printing, as not being on the
printing committee, he had nothing to
do with striking off the papers in ques
ton.
Asked as to whether he had any sus-
picion as to the origin of the alvance
examination papers, Instructor Martell
said he believed they must have been
stolen, owing to the care exercised in
guarding them. and expressed the be-
lief that some one must have COM
mited the theft for a financial con-
sideration.
Lieut.. Albert NJ. Cohen, who was re
corder of the first board cf investiga-
ton, upon the report of which the
original seven defendant midshipmen
were recommended for dismissal by
Superintendent Fullam also testified
before the court this morning. He was
questioned particularly as to his en-
ployment as counsel in behalf of the
midshipmen who were hailed before the
board of investigation.
He said that he did not consider him
self as general counsel in the real
sense of the word, in view of the fact
that there was no actual defense be-
fore that board.

Nelson Again n Target.

Midshipman Ralph Mex. Nelson, a
member of the class graduated from
the Naval Academy in June, and one Of
the original seven defendants recon-
mended for dismissal by Superintend-
ent Fullam, was made the target again
yesterday.
Toward the close of the days ses-
sion Judge-Advocate Watts sought to
show by the questions put to three of
Nelson's classmates that Nelson was
the distributor of certain turbine
sheets" advance outlines of lessons
that were tc be gwen in reeitations and
which were pilfered from the depart
ment OF Marine Engineering and Ma
val Construction.
The chief witness of the day was
Midshipman Claude o. Kell. Nelson's
roommate, who, ii was thought. would
be able to shed good deal more light
on Nelson's activities than he testified
to. Kell admitted that Midshipman

Saws Roosevelt Lowered Mark.

NNyS hoOStNctt hUNCICu luuh ne
FormerPresident Roosevelt and for
mer Secretary of the Navy Meyer were
named by Professor Smith, head of the
Department of Mathematics at the Ma
val Academy, as the officials who had
lowered the passing mark at the Naval
Academy, in order to retain as mid
shipmen a number who had been re-
turned as unsatisfactory
Professor Smith was continuing his
testimony before the court of inquiry
yesterday. He said that political ac-
ton was largely responsible for the
lowering of scholastic standards at the
Naval Academy. Professor Smith
said that on June z, 1907, President
Roosevelt directed that the passing
mark for the annual examinations
should be 2.S, instead of 2.5, out of a
possible four. and that on February Is,
1912. Secretary Meyer directed that the
passing mark for the semi annual ex-
aminations for that year should be 2.2.
instead of 2.5.
This resulted, he said. in the reten-
ton of a number of midshipmen who
nau not Deeh SdtlSAdStoAs ~ eaSAA S'""
les. Professor Smith said that his de-
partment received the order to this eff
feet and that he understood it applied to
the examinations in all departments.
1t was suggested by Professor Smith
that the classes be enlarged, and that
the vacancies in the commissioned ranks
be filled from those standing highest
on graduation.
This, he said, would stimulate com
petition among the midshipmen. He
suggested special coaching for the
backward. He said that he approved
of athletics, as he believed that it pro-
NOTED the health of the midshipmen
and put them in better shape to dc
mental work.

BUSINESS QUIET
IN PHILADELPHIA;
STOCKS DEPRESSED
Local Brokers Complain of
Difficulty in T Trading.
Traction Shares Still
Heavy.

Strictly local business on the Philadel-
phta Stock Exchange today was over
shadowed by the activity in Wall street.
50 that, aside from a moderate amount
OF arbitrage transactions, there was lit
tie to report. Investors were picking up
Electric Storage Battery, which advanced
easily. On the other hand, brokers COM
plaineh that II was difficult to deal in
such issues as U. S. Steel and Reading,
which persisted in selling out of line with
their New York quotations. At times In
Steel there was as much rs a difference
in price, and when Lehigh Valley was
selling at 6s in odd lots here 1t was above
13S per cent in New York, or equal to SO.
Tho fractions and Philadelphia Elec-
trio continued depressed and sentiment
here was discouraged. The Rapid Tran
sit surplus for the first half of the fiscal
year was only equal to O.66 per cent
earned on the stock. against t02 per
cent. earned in the first half of the pre-
vious fiscal period. II the Union Trac-
tion stockholders consent to pay up the
full remaining capitalization in connec.
tion with the new transit plans 1t Is
difficult to see Just what guarantee they
can obtain for the 6 per cent. dividcnds.
The heaviness of Philadelphia Electric
was attributed, of course, to the protest
made by Director Cooke to the Public
Service Commission against approval OF
the new city lighting contract The
hearing Is to be held Wednesday, A num-
ber of underlying securities changed
hands. including Minehill and Schuylkill
Haven at 55 and 56A, up q, and Little
Schuylkill at SO. down III. Northern Gem
trail was also off slightly. Jersey Trac-
tlon advanced to 70. and Catawissa first
preferred sold at 81. Light offerings of
Baldwin preferred cost the stock frac-
tional decline.
Interstate Railways As declined to 5S. A
letter has been sent to holders of the
per cent cumulative preferred stock,
which is redeemable at any time, asking
them to exchange their shares for a new
preferred issue which shall be unredeem
able. This would pave the way to pos
sble dividends on the common stock. as
the preferred must be redeemed before
any such distribution can be made The
remainder of the local bond market was
not particularly active. Electric and
Peoples 4s were inclined to sag in SYM
pathy with the general heaviness on the
traction groups.
