London, June 10-Sufeited as the

Washington, June 10-America' S

On its reception by the German

Officials here say frankly that
even though Germany should adopt a
defiant attitude no one in touch with

SWEEPING INVESTIGATION
Methods Employed at Academy De-
partment to be Laid Bare

Annapolis, June 10-An order from
iSecretary of the Navy Daniels, di:
recting Capt. Russell, of the court o.
! inquiry, to include sweeping inves-
tigation of all academic departments
as to the methods employed in the
| preparation of examination papers.
and their proper safeguard, two adj
| ditional midshipmen made parties
defendant to the pending proceedings
and evidence that the local board of
investigation did not go as complete:
ly into its work as it might have
done were the important . develop
ments in the third days session Of
the court which is inquiring into the
"gouging" scandal and other irregu-
larities in the recent examinations of
the midshipmen of the Naval Aca-
DENY.
When the court opened President
Russell announced that. two more
midshipmen were drawn in as parties
defendant because of their familia-
rity with and access to the examina-.
tion questions.
With the exception of the few.
minutes that Supt. Fullam was on the
stand, the whole of the courts TIM
was taken up with an examination
of Commander A. W. Traut, head OF
the department of modern languages.
which is the storm center of the in
quiry. Commander Traut was sub
jected to a gruelling fire of ques-
tions on cross-examination, and when
he left the stand at the close of the
days session he was reminded that
he might be called again.
He recounted how he and other
members of his department, becom-
ing suspicious that something was
wrong, discovered scraps of paper
bearing either examination questions
or the solution of questions lying
about the floor and other circum-
stances that led Supt. Fullam to de-
tail board of investigation.
Counsel for the accused midship-
men questioned the witness at great
length on why the investigation did
not extend to more midshipmen and
why, III view of testimony of certain
midshipmen that they procured copies
of the questions in the languages
examinations which, on examination
day, proved to be the correct ques-
tions. they were not equally as cul-
pable as those under arrest who had
seen the official paper. Commander
Traut said it was the opinion OF the
hoard that the seven "middies" un-
der arrest knew that they had the
examination questions and were there
fore more guilty than the others. It,
was brought out, however, that none
of the midshipmen knew the papers
were the actual examination papers
Commander 'Traut explained that
his susnicions of burglary in the room
of his department led him to place
an extra lock on the door.
Replvine to question, he said that
ho had more faith in locks than the
honor system at the Naval Academy
He also told the names Of other mid
shipmen, who, he heard has posses
sion of advance information.

CASE OF LEO NJ. FRANK.
Governor of Georgia Only Hope Of
Condemned Man.

| Atlanta, Ga, June 10.-By vote
of 2 to i the Georgia prison commits
sion yesterday declined to recon-
mend commutation of the death sent
ence to Leo NJ. Frank, despite .ap-
peals for clemency from millions of
persons throughout the United
States.
The decision came as surprise.
! since it had been rumored that the
commission was divided , to l in
Franks favor.
Franks fate now rests with the
governor. Unless the chief executive
interferes, Frank will die on the gal
lows ON June 90 Precedent has
been for the governor to carry out
the recommendation Of the commits
sion.
Governor John NJ Slaton retires
from office on June 26. His success
sor will be Judge Nat NJ. Harris,
who has stated his position in the
following words:
"The Frank case is Georgia case
for the people of Georgia to de-
eide"
Tt is not considered likely, how
ever, that Governor Slaton will leave
the fate of Frank unsettled when he
gives up his position.
The report of the majority of the
prison commissioner. E. Davison
and E. S. Rainey-was remarkable
for its brevity. 1t follows:
"The prison commission have had
under consideration an application
for executive clemency in behalf OF
Leo NJ. Frank, who, at the July term,
1913, Of the Superior Court Of Fulton
County, was convicted of murder and
sentenced to hang. and beg leave to
report that they decline to recon-
mend clemency.
"None of the grand jurors who
found the Indictment, none of the
trial jurors who heard all Of the evil
ience under oath, nor the prosecuting
attorney have asked that the sent
ence be commuted. The judge who
presided ut the trial and had the
right to exercise the discretion ii
fixing the penalty at either life I'M
prisonment or death imposed the lat
ter sentence and overruled motion
for a new trial.
Several appeals were taI;er to the
Appellate Court Of the State and
the Supreme Court OF the United
States, all of which were denied and
the judgment of the lower court af
firmed, thus assuring TIE defendant
of his legal and constitutional right"
u!der the laws of the land"
"The report Of Commissioner T.
Z. Patterson was in favor "t com
mutation"
The news that tha fH,ling of the
board was unfavorable was carried. to
Frank by Milton Klein, warm per-
sonal friend. Franks father anu his
wife were with him at the time.
When Mr.. Klein reappcared in the
Jail corridor he said: "Nr. Frank
has nothing to say just NOW. He
seemed unmoved by the decision. He
may have something to say later"
Attorney Harry a. AIevarder said
ttat counsel for Frank wn"td moe
for an immediate hearing before the
governor.

to uncivilized practices, and these
have invaded the open seas which be-
long to all the world, putting in
peril the, lives and property Of the
nationals Of nations at peace. Re.
cent events have brought the wal
very close to the people of the
United States. A crisis is at the
very heart of our foreign relations,
resulting from gross disregard by
one belligerent or another Of the
rights of neutrals on the high seas.
It was the fragrant abuse of such
rights that caused the war of 1912.
England and Germany are seeking
to take strangle-hold on one an
other, and neutral ships that come
close to them are in unquestioned
danger of destruction.
Every belligerent will 60 to all
limits possible, under the checks ex-
ercised by neutrals; and unless the
neutral position is maintained there
will be no restraints left and world
law will disappear entirely until af-
ter the war shall have ended, when
the victors will proclaim it anew in
a fashion to suit themselves. The
situation contains potential perils
that cannot be exaggerated, but be-
cause of that fact It behooves all
neutral powers to think deliberately,
unmoved by passion, and if the time
comes to act to put all their strength
into that action.

The Bard of Avon
Percival Chubb, of St. Louis, Out
lines Plans for Shakes
pearean Celebration.

Plans for the celebration Of the 3OOt h
anniversary of the death OF Shakespear re
were discussed at the Public Library
last night by a number Of Washing
tonians interested In the matter.
1t Is planned to have a nation wide
observance Of the anniversary. Percival
Chubb. OF ST. Louis. who was appointed
some time ago to take charge Of the
matter in the interests OF the Drama
League Of America made a brief ad.
dress. In which he outlined the need OF
a more intimate study OF Shakespeare
and a clearer understanding OF what
his great plays and poems mean.
The idea that was suggested was to
form a Shakespearean stock company of
professional actors Of note to visit the
principal cities and at the same time to
hold in these cities special entertain
ments where the old folk songs would be
sung in costume and Shakespearean
pageants produced.
While no definite plans have been
made for Washington. 1t is understood
that number OF people have interested
themselves in the movement. Librarian
George r. Bowcrman, who presided at
last nights gathering. will receive sug-
gestions and explain the plans to those

A TIME TO go SLOW"

News dispatches state that one or
more Scandinavian powers will pro-
vide warships as conveys for their
merchant vessels destined for bel
ligerent ports, in order to protect
them from dangers in the two war
zones-the North Sea and the wa.
ters surrounding England and Ire.
land. If this is actually done, Scan.
dinavia may easily become involved
in the conflict, not so much by rea.
son of mine or submarine as by the
necessity of maintaining exact neu.
trality.
A nation that provides an escort
of warships for it's merchant craft
would be guilty of a hostile act if
it should refuse to afford such pro-
lection to it's vessels carrying car
goes which one belligerent has arbi-
trarily declared to be contraband to
a port of the other belligerent. For
instance, usage and recognized inter-
national law permit neutral trade in
foodstuffs with the non-combatant
population of belligerent country,
and if commerce were conducted un-
der the protection of a neutral's
armed forces and that neutral were
to refuse to grant such protection to
vessels carrying foodstuffs to one
belligerent because the other bellig-
erent declared trade in foodstuffs
was not permissible, it would be
falling short not only Of it's obliga-
tions to civilization, but might be
guilty of acting in association with
a hostile power. 1t would be bound
morally to afford protection to all
legitimate commerce of it's nationals,
even if in so doing it were chal-
lenged by one of the belligerents.
Therefore it would be we'll for Scan
dinavia to "go slow"
Events are transpiring rapidly
that are sufficient to give every neu-
trail nation pause. Developments in
the naval warfare between Great
Britain and Germany in particular
tend to fill one with apprehension
lest the extremes resorted to during
the Napoleonic wars shall be revis-
tied upon the world. A new conti-
mental system is in process of for
nation. 1t is in its early stages,
but these stages are such as to alarm
even the most temperate minded.
Legitimate warfare has given way
