men who were 10 be witnesses follow
ing request made by Congressman
Hays, of counsel for the accused mid
shipmen. This incident occurred at
the opening of court for the afternoon.
session, as told ia The Capital in last
evenings issue.
The court was cleared to consider
the request and after deliberating for
an hour, the objection was sustained.
and President Russell read the letter
addressed to Admiral Fullam.
Com. Charles T. Preston. head OF
the Department of English, was the
only other witness of the afternoon.
and like Commander Tompkins, his
testimony showed that II was not the
universal custom at the Academy for
instructors TO give out advance infor-
nation TO the examination questions,
as the record shows them to have
been practiced in the Department OF
Modern Languages
Commander Preston said. among
other things. he had never known OF
any instances of irregularities, theft or
attempt at theft, in his department.

rms oNF TELLS oF RURGLARY

Another sensation of yesterday was
the testimony Of Commander John T.
Tompkins, head of the Department of
Electrical Engineering and Physics,
who told of the burglarizing of the
printing room of his department and
the theft therefrom of the examina-
tion questions.
Commander Tompkins could not say
whether one or more sets of the ques-
tions had been stolen. He said that
after the examination questions had
been prepared by himself they were
turned over to his clerk. Mr. H. F. Le-
Tourneau, a trusted employee, for the
printing of the mimeograph machine.
II was customary for this confidential
clerk to print the questions. he said
When this work was completed. Com
mander Tompkins said, the stack Of
questions was placed in a large
envelope that was sealed and placed
in one of the drawers OF the room.
Then he took the precautionary
measures taken TO preserve the safety
of the questions He said that the
drawers We're not only locked by their
own regular locks, but that iron bars
fastened with padlocks were placed
across a stretch Of three of the draw
ers. An examination made later re-
vealed the fact that these bars were
about five feet long. little more than
an inch wide and about half an inch
in thickness.

ent of the Naval Academy, was called
sharply TO account by Capt. Robert l.
Russell, president of the court of in
quiry, yesterday afternoon for inter
viewing midshipmen witnesses before

'The question has been raised in
this court in regard to persons already
summoned for appearance as witness
es before the court being seen at the
superintendent's office either by him
self or his aide, and instructed as to
their status as witnesses or possible
defendants.

mony. Therefore. il is requested that

mony before the court or prior to
their being regularly designated as
defendants. witnesses and possible de-
fendants summoned through the su-
perintendant's Office be not instructed
at any time or place as to the possible
status in which they will be placed
by virtue of any action they may take
as witnesses or defendants.

tation of a memorial tablet to William

! indication of clearing up is that each
defendant was today served with a no.

the summer cruise of the midshipmen
They are now at anchor in the bay off
Annapolis, and il is reported that they
may weigh anchor by the latter part
of the present week.
Other witnesses examined during the
morning were LieutD.C .Pattersonand
Lieut. II. b. LeBourgeois, instruc-

stand for few minutes before the
court announced a recess for lunch

that the system of giving out such ad-

but had been a general custom He
said he deemed it duty for instruc-
tors to help the middies in a legiti-
mate way.
Congressman Carlin, of Virginia, re-
turned TO Annapolis this morning and
rejoined his colleague of counsel for
the defense. He had been away since
Friday on other legal business.

dents last year in one of which a student

Ii is probable that the interscholas-

Candidates from the Brownsville schools

The rivalry between the schools of the

conferred around the basket ball teams
Practically every town in the valley

WANTED BY WooNsOckET.
Wendell A. Mowry Elected Superin- tendent of Schools There, at Sal
 ary of $2,5oo.

Wendell A. Mowry was elected by a unanimous vote of the board of edu- cation of the city of Woonsocket at meeting Tuesday evening to be su- perintendent of schools in that city at a salary of $2,500.. an increase of $500 over the salary that MT. Mowry has received since coming to Putnam last summer as school superintendent
 While it is possible that MT. Mowry will go to Woonsocl1et there is nothing positive about this yet. In the first place the salary at which the Woon- socket board elected MT. Mowry is an advance of $500 a year over the salary that the city paid the late Frank E. Melee, who was superintendent of schools in Woonsocket for 29 years, and this advance must be approved by the city council before it can be- come effective; in the second place, MT. Mowry is not willing to leave abruptly, as he stated Wednesday aft ernoon, town that has given him such a cordial welcome and such united support as he has received in Putnam, and this consideration weighs heavily with MT. Mowry.
 In discussing his election Wednes- day afternoon MT. Mowry said that 1t came to him absolutely unsolicited. He did not announce himself a candidate for the place, nor make any effort to secure it.
 MT. Mowry's parents moved to Woonsocket when he was four years of age and for the next twenty years he lived there, attending the city's student under Superintendent Melee, whom he has been elected to succeed. It continued to be his home during tn time he was student at Brown university. During all the years that he was a resident of Woonsocket it
