 Providence, R. L. July 16.-No ap- preciable change was noted in the troll ley strike situation here today. Pres ident A. E. Potter. of the Rhode Is- land company, said that about tsa same number of cars as yesterday, namely, 36 were in operation on the entire system,
 Congressman O'Shaughnessy received today from Secretary of Labor Will son a telegram announcing that fed- eraI commissioners of concihation would be sent here from Washington -imm ediately to endeavor to adjust the strike. This action on the part of the department was in response to a re- ques for federal intervention tele- graphed to the secretary by the con- gressman yesterday
 No reply has yet been received by Mayor Gaynor from the union officials relative to the mayors proposal that he act as arbitrator in selecting a board of arbitration to bring about a settlement of the strike. ..s The company has made no attempt yet to maintain a regular schedule on any line. President Potter said that a few men were being hired and that he believed several more cars would prob ably be running this afternoon. He stated that no strike-breakers are be- ing put on the cars but that a number of former employees of the road were coming back.

court was assembled by Secretary Daniels Iafter it became known that the examination papers in modern languages for all classes had been cir seven midshipnen have been recom-s mended for dismissal in connection with it.
 In his address Judge Advocate Watts insisted that the evidence indi- cated the gui1t4of seven. original de- fendants who are Midshipman Hamil- ton, R. Nick. Nelson, L. F. wessen, C. E. Evans, J. B. Moss, T. W. Harri- son; Jr., and D. E. Duncan. These saw one or more of the papers re- ceived through the mail by Midship- man sJ- E. Moss, and it was asserted by the judge advocate that they un- doubted1y recognized them as the ex- animation papers which were to be given out-
 The additional defendants whom the judge advccate considered guilty on the same grounds are Mtdshipman B. H. Jones, K. Keller, c. M, Reagle, c. F. Holden and J. H. Keefe- In. the case of T. R. Denny the judge advo- cate stated that the facts did not in pers for a short time
 The midshipmen declared cu1pable on other grounds by the judge advo- cate are E. B. Hough. J. E. Waddeu, w. H. Hopkins, Jr., D. Click and H. R. Whitaker.
 Those in whose cases the judge ad- vocate found nothing cu1pable are A D. Strub1e. W. J. NunnaIIy, G. R. Bu-hen, w. J. Confer, H. H. Harri- son, A. C. Rogers, George D. Price, R. J. Walker and T. R. Denny None of these but Denny saw the original papers.
 Despite conflicting statements and admitting that he had testified false ly under oath Midshipman c. M. Beagle in his final testimony was given much weight in the argument of the judge advocate. He contended that Beagle had been under coercion in the first instance, but had decided to tell. the truth. He pointed to Reag1e's statement that Nelson had sent him to the deparment, secured keys from him and also told him to find if the number of the nimeo- graphing machine had been changed The judge advocate claimed that if by any chance the nidshipmen whe used the original papers did not rec
 ognize them as advance copies of the examination, they knew positively when they received the examination officially, and were guilty of a, fraud
 in failing to report it and submitting
 their papers
 1 A distinction was drawn by the
 judge advocate, as did the board zo1
 investigation and Admiral Fullam | between the case of three nnfdship- men who saw the mineograph sheets
 and those who saw copies made from
 them directly CT indirectly. The judge
 advocate said that it was natural to l suppose that the matter changed
 form more and more as it was copied
 by different midshipmen.
 1 Representative James Hayes Rob
 ert Moss. of counsel for the defen,
 dants. replied briefly to the judge ad,
 vocate. All the defendants stated tc
 the court that they had full oppor-
 tunity of presenting their eases.
