ARGUMENTS ARE HEARD
IN 'CR|BB|NG' SCANDAL
Counsel for Midshipmen and Lieut..
Commander Watts, for the Gov
ernment, Before Court.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS. Nd. July 15-The
court of inquiry into the "cribbins"
scandal and other irregularities In ex-
aminations at the Naval Academy heard
arguments In behalf of the remanded
defendants this morning, and Lieut..
Commander Watts presented the gov
ernment's side of the case.
The Judge advocate charged. with
other things, that the statements OF
some of the original defendants as to-
the circumstances surrounding the ad-
vance circulation of examination pa
pers are unbelievable and should be so
regarded by the court.
He referred to the conflict in testi-
mony as to the exact date the papers
got out, questioned whether they were
received through the mail by Midship-
man Moss as claimed, saying that this
Moss.
Other Significant Points.
1t is also significant. tho Judge ad-
vocate argued, that Midshipman Nell
son. the first-class man, did not dis
close how he came in possession of
one Of the papers even to his room
mate. and that he and Midshipman
vessel, second-class man who made
copy of the paper while he was a
patient at the hospital. and later
found that the information was the
official examination which they took.
certainly violated the acceptable stand
ards of honor.
The judge advocate claimed that
Reagles testimony. regardless OF tts
fact that he falsified when he first az
peared as witness, should be Ae.
cepted as the truth. He charged that
Reagles. who was the "sleuth," in the
escapades of Raging marks, was under
great strain when he was first exam
ined. that he was endeavoring to pro-
tect his fellows, under pressure which.
he said. had been brought against him.
Blame Laid to Politicians.
That politicians were endeavoring to
run the academy instead of the on
cials delegated by the Navy Depart
ment to administer its affairs, was the
assertion of Lieut.. C. T. Smith. who. as
counsel. argued in behalf of Midship-
men Hopkins and Denny. interested
parties before the court. He asserted
that the ordering of the court was tho
result of activities of politicians; that
the accused midshipmen got them
selves in trouble through politics and
the feeling was to let them get out OF
1t the same way.
Others who made statements to the
court to clear up their connection with
the scandal were graduate Midshipmen
Nunnally and Hough, Attorney William
B. Burch and Midshipmen e. H. Jones
and Keller. Attorney Frederick G.
Faust for Midshipmen Click and Whit
taker, Lieut. Kenyon for Midshipman

DR., E. E. Pratt Tells Bankers They
Should Invest With View to
Winning Trade.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. va
July 15.-Bankers Of tho United States
were warned that they must prepare
to handle the financial end of a wide
American foreign trade by DR.. e. e.
Pratt, chief of tho bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce, in a speech
before the West Virginia Bankers As
sociation convention here today. The
development of large export business
is now under way, DIR. Pratt told the
bankers. and manufacturers and mer-
chants will call upon the banks for
extensive services in handling cash and
credit export transactions.
Establishing Branch Banks.
DR.. Pratt said that American banks
are now establishing branches in South
America and other parts Of the world
to handle American business and that
the European war has resulted in the
extensive substitution Of American
dollar exchange for English pounds
sterling exchange in international
transactions.
He estimated that the total loans of
American money and credit to Europe
20 far during the war totaled $500, 0,000.-
900. and suggested that the putting out
Of large sums of American money was
on economic fallacy.
Would Loan to Customers.
'In loaning money to European ma
tions," he said, I'VE are enabling them
merely to keep up their wasteful war
fare, and If we continue to loan money
to Europe for reconstruction purposes
after the war is over we will simply
be building up our most active COM
petitors. II. however. this money 10
loaned to other countries Of the world,
countries which are not our competi-
tors but which are our customers, we
will be strengthening them. and we
will be strengthening the ties between
them and ourselves"

sideration at tho State Department

The Austrian note contends that war
exports as "a proceeding Of the pres

that ut would be quite sufficient to
advise the enemies Of Austria Hungary
and Germany that the supply of food

German officials have openly de-

STATUS Of COL. HARTS
IS OFFICIALLY DEFINED
Secretary Garrison Says No Law Pre-
vents His Retention on Presi.
dents Request. ,

Any doubt which may have existed a
to the tenure Of Col. William W. Harris
Corps of Engineers. as superintendent
Of public buildings and grounds and
chief military aid to President Wilson
was disposed Of today by statement
by Secretary Garrison that the Presi'
dent had expressed his personal desire
that Col. Harts be retained in those
capacities unless It was contrary tc
law. Secretary Garrison said there
was no law to the contrary. and II
would be his pleasure to comply with
the wishes Of the President in the mat
ter.
It was explained at the War Depart
ment that the question OF Col. Harts
he was stationed In Washington nearly
four years, having been under tnstruc.
tion at the Army War College about
two years before his presidential detail
to take charge OF public buildings and
grounds in October. 1913. less than two
years ago.
The legal authorities of the War De-
partment held that the so-called Man
chu law regulating details OF line ON
GERS was not applicable to Col: Harts.
tnasmuch as he was an officer OF stan
department.
Secretary Garrison ruled that his pol
icy Of limiting the details of army ofii-
GERS in this city to four years invaria-
bly, was waived in cases where the spe-
cial circumstances demanded such
action.
Policy Waived in Other Cases.
It had been waived in other cases
where the interests Of the army re-
quired 1t, and 1t never had been ques-
toned that the President was entitled
to the selection of his personal military
aid, regardless Of the construction Of a
departmental regulation.
In addition to his other duties. Col.
Harts is acting superintendent Of the
State, War and Navy Department
building.
In view of the objections that have
been raised by the watchmen and ele-
vator operators to certain changes he
has made in the regulations, said to be
in the interests Of greater efficiency.
it is not improbable that he may ask
to be relieved of that extra duty.
Among the other outside Jobs engag-
ing his attention.. at present are the
construction OF the Lincoln memorial,
the Grant memorial, the Arlington am
phitheater and the memorial to the
women of the civil war.

These worms are the common

The brownish moth lays the
eggs for this generation late in

and feed upon the adjacent vege-

Principal Arvada Schools,
My Dear Friends
Since our Hazel has been in

and said we should write to you,
and express as best we might, our
appreciation OF what the Arvada
schools have done for us.
Pupils coming from other towns
nearly always have to go back
year, some only having to go back
half grade. We were advised on
all sides to let Hazel begin the sew
enth grade. "She simply could not
keep up otherwise, and she would
be overworked and discouraged If
she tIed"
Perhaps you know that our conf
cence in the work OF the Arvada
schools and the management ms
we'll, didn't fall" to this sort of
talk and she entered the the eighth

by putting some OF her language

slightest trouble In keeping up with
the class. passing at holidays, with
honors into the "S'' A., where she
easily maintains her usual position.
We feel grateful to the Arvndu

thereof.

close today, when Walter Mold defeat
ed J. r. Mayo in the final round, by
winning two straight sets, making a
score of 81 in each set.
The tournament has been a success,
having interested many members in

Forfeitures were not much in evil
dence and all of the matches played
were full of life and snap. The most
noteworthy matches were those played
by G. r. Mayo and H. r. Johnston,
in which thirty eight games were
played in three sets: and the contest
between Walter Mold and T. r. Char
shee.
The latter match started with Mold
winning first set IS. The second set
went to a draw, 6-6, being called on
account of darkness. When the men
met to play off, Mold was again VIC
torious, winning by a score of 81.
Much credit is due Charshee who
played a pretty steady game. His diff

Walter Mold, the winner, played a
steady. consistent game at all times
showing up particularly well in tight
places. To ]. r. Mayo goes the honor
of being runner-up. Both Mold and
Mayo will receive suitable awards as
winner and runner-up in the tourna-
ment.
