SAYS MEN AND OFFICERS
ARE NEEDED IN THE NAVY
Rear Admiral Palmer Emphasizes
Demand and Suggests Methods Of
Meeting Deficiency.

Urgent need of both enlisted men and
day by Rear Admiral Palmer. chief of
the bureau of navigation, before the
House subcommittee on naval affairs.
He recommended the adoption of dras-
tic means for securing men and officers,
and asked authority for the graduation
of the first and second classes of
midshipmen at Annapolis in February
and June, 1917, respectively, to meet
the shortage of officers. Request also
was made that the four-year course at
the Naval Academy be reduced to three
years for a limited time.
Estimates prepared by Admiral Pal
mer and Secretary Daniels showed
that more than $4,000 men would be
required when the three-year build
ing program is completed in 1921 At
there was a shortage of about 800 Of
ficers who were sorely needed.
Admiral Palmer told the committee
that every recruiting station in the
country had been asked to investigate
local labor conditions and that their
reports indicated that industrial needs
exceeded the supply of men in both
skilled and unskilled classes.
Representative Butler of Pennsyl-
vania advocated an increased pay for
enlisted men as a means of stimulat-
ing recruiting.
Capt. Eberle, commandant at An
napolis. was said to be ready to make
the changes necessitated by the pro-
posed graduation of the two ella asses and
to modify the course of study to fit a
three-year term. BY doing this Ad-
nniral palr0er said, 900 officers would be
gained when the new building pro-
srali. was completed.

U. S. JUDGES LACK POWER
TO SUSPEND SENTENCES
Decision by Supreme Court Will Put
an End to the
Practice.

Judges of federal courts do not pos
sess the inherent power to suspend sem
tences upon convicted criminals. ac-
/ cording to a decision of the United
States Supreme Court yesterday, in a
federal Judge killitts suspended a five
year sentence imposed on James f. Hen
chan for violation of the national bank
ing act.
Chief Justice White, in announcing
the opinion of the court, said that the
order would not be effective until the
end of this term of court, in order that
opportunity may be afforded for exc
cutive clemency in the cases of many
paroled men who otherwise would be
sent to prison automatically.
Chief Justice White. reviewed the ar
guments for and against the power of
federal judges
"of coarse there is discretion lodged
in every court he said. but that's
a judicial discretion. discretion to
enforce the law-not to refuse to en-
force it.
The Chief Justice said there was
reasonable discretion" at common law
for judges to suspend sentence tenn
porar, but not an arbitrary" power.
Different practices of state judges in
various states were pointed out as
showing a wide conflict of opinion of
judges. the chief justice stated.
I'm United States courts the practice
has fluctuated," he said. while exer-
cised in numerous cases, the power of
judges has not been universal or COM
plete and has been constantly chal-
lenged."
and enforcing the Constitution, that al
though I'VE are thoroughly convinced
these exercises have not been due to
desire of judges to exceed their author
ity, redress lies not in usurpation of ju-
dicial power but in executive power"
The Chief Justices opinion suggest
ed strongly legislation by Congress to
give the federal judiciary the power to
suspend sentences somewhat as a sub
stitute for federal prisoners parole
system.
