The banqueters were seated in FIVE

alumni. numbering at least 800. were
stated on the roof garden, while as
many more of this years graduates
occupied seats in other banquet-rooms
provided for them.
When Judge Walter l. Dawkins the
tosamaster. arose 10 announce the
speakers of the evening the various
classes Of graduates began a series OF
yells and songs which lasted for al
least fifteen minutes and would have
lasted longer still but FOR the determ-
med efforts OF the Judge. who simply
demanded silence.
Several other attempts TO interrupt
the program were made by the stu
dents. but older heads succeeded in
bringing order out of chaos. Judge
Dawkins said that while he was in
hearty sympathy with the boys and
loved to hear their yells and songs. he
thought out of respect to the speakers

Decorations for the Ball.

The decorations for the farewell ball
which will be held tomorrow night in
Dahlgren Hall are more pretentious
than ever before attempted The Hall
tomorrow night will present most
wonderful sight TO the spectators, the
key to the decorations being the neu-
trality idea.
High up above the balcony the entire
sides are draped with the flags of Sc
neutral nations "a surprise to many to
know there are that many nations not
now at war; From these flags on
either side and from end of the hall to
the other stretches an immense United
States flag, in dimensions so by $50
feet. claimed by the Brown Decorating
Company. of Philadelphia, who have
charge of the decorations, to be the
largest flag in the world.
There are other claimants to this
statement. but at any rate it is some
flag. as anyone can easily imagine who
is familiar with the dimensions of the
Armory. where ii stretches from end to
end with enough to drape down over
the end wall. The flag required 5 900
square yards of material at a cost of
over 500.
At the southeast end of the hall the
coat of arms of the United States will
blaze forth in electricity. This coat of
arms has a spread eagle twelve feet in
length and a shield twelve feet high.

day for the midshipmen, ,as the day was
filled up from the call for infantry
drill at 9.15 this morning until after
dress parade this afternoon The in
fantry drill this morning was part of
the competition for the honor of carry
ing the colors during the next year
and as the infantry drill carries the
greatest number of points in the COM
petition. the rivalry was keen, and the
judges faced a difficult work in MAX
ing a decision.
The drill was made first by battal-
ions, marching and counter marching
in all of the different maneuvers. as
well as going through the manual OF
arms. The winning battalion being
decided each company comprising it of
which there are three, received a GER
tain number of points. These com
panies then compete and the winner
receives a certain number Of additional
points. The flag competition includes
practically all of the work at the Acad-
emy with the exception of athletics.
The captain of the winning company
&c n allowed n phnncn 10 n
present the colors to the company,
which adds greatly to the rivalry. The
honor of presenting the colors is COW
eted by every navy girl, and the cere-
mony is one of the prettiest of the
entire week
Some of the middies were able to
escape for a short visit to town after
the mornings's drill, but mad to hurry
back to prepare for the torpedo and
gun drills at 2.20 o'clock. and the prac-
tical engineering exercises at 4.30. Ii
this the middies assume the disguise
of real working men, and do the hard
est work of the week. In this drill
the midshipmen give a demonstration
of how to make boilers, execute all
kinds of engineering feats and show
their ability as plumbers AT the same
time they show that they can wear
overalls and still maintain dignity and
win admiration of the spectators, with
faces black with SCOT and clothes GOV
cred with oil and grease.
The torpedo drills were held on the
torpedo boats. and the gun drills in
the Armory, while the engineering ex-
ercises were held in Sampson and

Jury Can Add Without Capital

Verdicts.
HARDER TO FILL JURY BOX.
Juror, viii Feel That Infliction Of
Death Will Rest With Them.

A new law which goes into effect
today giyes the jury the option in mur.
der trials TO add the words without
rar.tsl punishment, to their verdict
n ia claimed that this will have the
fleet Of making it even harder to Sc
.rr, q Jury in cases of this character.
as the members of the Jury will feel
that they are condemning and SEN
fencing the person charged with mur-
der rather than the judge.
There ID a law on the statute books
now that allows jury to recommend
mercy for the prisoner at the bar,
and n has never been known in Mary
land where such recommendation has
been made that the judge has not
given the recommendation considera-
ton This was the fact in the Anne
Arundel Circuit Court few years ago
Of man who had killed two persons.
"It will make it harder to fill a jury
box in q murder case" said promi-
ncnt States Attorney
You see," he added, "a man now
feels that the infiction of death rests
not with him, but with the Judge.
Under the new law he would have a
tendency 10 feel that he and his fell
low lurors would be the ones to con.
demn or not to condemn a man to the
gaIows. With a talesman of strong
scruples against capital punishment
this would have weight"
TO be- frank, it is not within the his
tory Of the state that any Judge has
condemned a man to death after the
Jury has given their verdict with a
recommendation of mercy. There
fore, the new law will not really
change the situation The States
Attorney commented on several cases
within recent years where the new
law would have had probably certain
effect on the jury's action.
Whether or not it would be easier to
convict a man of frst-degree murder is
a question still to be settled. On
one side, it is argued that the juror
who opposes capital punishment will
be less likely to hang" the juror; on
the other side. it is suggested that
the prosecuting attorney would weak
en- his case should he call the atten-
tion Of the jury to their ability to
convict without capital punishment"
as part Of their verdict.
