EXPLANATION
REAR ADMIRAL GOES ON THE
STAND IN "CRIBBING"
SCANDAL.
Explains His Actions In Talking
To Various Midshipmen
On Evidence.

ANNAPOLIS. Md. June 15-Rsar
Admiral William r. Fullam. superin.
tendent OF the naval academy. wPs
given an opportunity today to explain
before the court OF inquiry investigat-
ing the "Cribbing" scandal. the advice
which he had given prospective mid
shipmen witnesses. Earlier in the
day letter was received from him
acknowledging receipt OF the cour; 5
request that the practice against which
CONGRESSMAN Hay entered protest YES
terday be discontinued The Admiral
wrote that he would comply with the
courts suggestion. and that he was
ready to appear before the court TO
make an explanation.
While he was in the witness chair
today Admiral Fullam said:
Il consider myself in some sense a
defendant in view of what the press
OF the country has hadNo say in crit
icism OF the system at the academy. %
When Midshipman A. c. Rogers join
ed the seven original defendants, after
the testimony had been given that a
paper in his handwriting had been
{ found on which answers appeared 20
questions in the last Spanish examina-
tion and which had been circulated as
h0lt HAAOl W Aut ne dt-
cepted the counsel OF the other de-
PENDANTS. Admiral Fullam said he sent
for Rogers the next morning because
he felt he needed advice concerning
that proceeding: that he was wrong.
ing himself and jeopardizing his inter.
ests by placing himself In the same
category with the seven midshipmen
who had been recommended for dis
missal. His impression was that three
or four other midshipmen in his Office
may have heard what he said, and pos
sibly he had advised others.
In no case did | try TO influence
their testimony or their actions in this
court said the superintendent.
After others had been drawn into
the proceedings the superintendent.
counsel came TO him and asked that
the seven under arrest be freed, that
all the defendants should be given the
same status He told counsel he CON
sidered the status OF the seven very
different, and he could not release
them from confinement aboard the
prison ship.
Evidence was given at the morning
session tending TO show that there
was a material difference I'm the value

CHARTER CASE
SUBMITTED TO THE SUPREME

Are Raised.

That the time has come when he
courts should approach the considera.
tlon OF an act OF the legislature with

posed TO be due the solemn action of
coordinate branch Of the government
and give II only the attention IL de-
serves on its merits. was the declaia-
uon OF Hon. Taylor Ninson. OF Huut-
ington. today in arguing the William
son charter case before the supreme
court of appeals
Mr. Ninson appeared with Campbell.
Brown and Davis. OF Huntington and
Wiles and Bias. OF Williamson. for the
council of Williamson in attacking the
constitutionality OF the charter passed
at the regular session of the 1915 leg
islature. This charter changes jhe
form of government in Williamson aE.d
confers on the governor OF the state
the power to appoint for two year
term. the five commissioners who are
to administer the affairs of the ci-y.
II thus. takes away from the cisizens
for that period. the right of self gov
ernment.
The petition on which the question
arose before the supreme court was
that Of J. W. Peters. member OF
the old council. who by an election
held April l. was displaced by Dr
Tunis Nunemaker. Peters contends
that the new charter is constitutional
but by the terms of this instrument.
he Is entitled to serve up until july

pointed commits sion Is 10 take ONCE
DR.. Nunemaker contended tina. he
kad been regularly elected under the
old charter for term OF two years
and insisted that he should be per
mitted to serve because. as ne says
the new charter is unconstitutional
As q third element of the contest
contending only against those who
were attacking the constitutionality OF
the new charter. Hon. John "a. Holt OF
Huntington. and Hon. Wells Goody-
koontz of Williamson. appeared Tor
the newly appointed commission.
The case was submitted late this al
ternoon. following series OF the most

tional question that has been heard
before the court in years.

the late Chief Justice Fuller displayed
indiRnauon that such a proposition

clared that that was question TO be

that the court would find a way 20 en-

To Call legislature.
II Is believed here that the West

arrangement for the payment of the
judgment. IL Is not believed by any
one that the state will make an at

thought 10 be a chance OF success
in that direction. The opinion pre-
walls that. after some excitements and

Number Of Ways.

the court TO enforce payment One is
that the court could seize the tax col
