MIDDIES' FAILURES
WORRY CONGRESS.
Navy Department Stirred Over Failure
of Over 200 Midshipmen at the
Naval Academy.

Navy Department officials and mem
bers of the House and Senate are pro-
foundly disturbed over the information
from the Naval Academy indicating
that more than two hundred midship-

ment yesterday afternoon that the fail
uye of more than one-fourth of the en-
tire corps is the direct result of the re-
forms put into effect following the re-
cent 'gouging" investigations by q
special board
This board recommended that no
more dope" that is advance informa
ton, be given TO the midshipmen prior
to examinations. At the same time. it
was suggested that the examinations
themselves be so modified that the
young men would not he al complete
disadvantage in taking the tests.
II appears that the first part OF the
recommendations We're put into effect
but the second part was not As q re-
suit the midshipmen went into the eX-
animation rooms without any indica-
tion whatever as to the line of ques-
tions to be asked. Nor were the tests
made less hard.As a result some of the
most promising of the students at the
institution failed to pass.
The matter has not yet come ofd-
cially before Secretary Daniels. but

To be Held at Tome School May 20
Invitations have just been issued to
every secondary school in Maryland
for a State contest in public speaking
the finals of which will be held at the

Two prizes, one of S25 and one of

it is hoped that such competition viii

prove a success, the contest viii, no
