Large Class win Be Graduated
at Annapolis.
Naval Academy viii Revel In "June
Week" First Time in Three
Years.

Annapolis, Md.-The fact that but
one member of the First, or graduating
class of the Naval academy was de-
ficient in scholastic work during the
term just closed insures that the num-
Der of graduates will be Ats, unless
something unexpected happens.
1t Is seldom that a midshipman who
reaches his final term drops by the
wayside. The class is larger by so
per cent than the largest class which
has preceded 1t at the Naval academy
and nearly three times as large as the
normal class of recent years.
With Slightly more than 5000 regu-
lar officers in the service when the
United States entered the war, the
commissioning of nearly 500 ensigns
will mean that officers can be spared
to carry opt necessary steps in the
! service.
Young officers will be released for
postgraduate work at the Naval acad-
envy and many temporary officers will
be returned to civil life or to the
grades they previously occupied In the
service.
The graduation of this class will
mark the restoration of "June week"

academy, to the brilliancy and interest
of former years, but greatly increased

two good-sized toads in a small pocket

REPUBLICANS TO
FORCE BUDGET ON
ADMINISTRATION
Also Engaged in Plan to
Cut Out 10000 to

Washington.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Republican
leaders of the house today decided
to ask department heads to help
reduce the $5,000,000,000 estimates
for next years appropriations.
In effect, all effort will be made to
create informally budget, but lead
ers agreed that big deficit by July
1921, the end of the next fiscal year,
was certain, and Chairman Good, of
the appropriations committee, other
charmen and the legislative steer
ing committee estimated that it
would be around $5,000,000,000. The
deficit at the end of this fiscal year,
next June, was estimated at $780,
100000. \
Speaker Gillet, who presided,
said that the $5,000,000,000 expend-
lures without any deficit resulting
at the end of the fiscal year, will
require between ,000,000,000 and
$o000,000,000 of revenue.
As a first step toward economy,
Chairman Good announced that eff
forts would be made to reduce the
number of government clerks IN

members favoring a Legislative

Grand Rapids, Mich, Dec. 5.-Af-

federal grand jury which investi-
gated alleged frauds in the New
berry campaign, the marshals re-
ported Friday night that there were
mes that they were unable to locate.
The names of the men the officers
would not divulge.
Because of this delay and the fact
that some of the 4o who still remain
to be arraigned are said to be i'll and
unable to come into court to enter
pleas as early as expected it is be-
lieved that the entire list of arraign-
ments will not be completed before
next Thursday.
This afternoon Judge Yelland of

REVERENCE FOR
THE HERO DEAD
Asks Tourists. Who Visit
French and Flanders Fronts
to Remember Deeds of
Victorious Armies.

London, Dec. 5.-Rudyard Kip
ling, on behalf of the imperial war
graves commission, has written an
earnest appeal to those visiting, or
intending to visit. the French and
Flanders fronts to observe reverence
for the dead. In part he writes:
1T should be remembrd this is
holy ground-consecrated in every
part by the lives of men, and for
that reason not to be ruin over with
levity. 1t is inevitable that the ham
ding of such multitures of sight
seers as are expected next year must
be managed along ordinary tourist
lines, so it rests with the individual
tourist to have respect for the spirit
that lies upon that land of desola-
ton and to walk through it with
reverence. ..I
at is said there is a tendency on
the part of some visitors to forget
this obligation. Nothing would DC
gained by giving specific instances
of what, after all, is more in the ma
ture of unthinking carelessness than
disrespect, but the i'm
perial war graves commission has
asked me to express our earest hope
that all who visit the battle areas
will bear in mind that at every step
they are in the presence of those
dead through the merit of whose
sacrifice they enjoy their present
life and whatever measure of free
dom is theirs TODAY" t...-

Refuses to Take Case From
Jury and Says Convic.
ton of Promoter Is
Necessary.

Chicago. Dec. 5.-The case of S.
{. Pandolfo, promoter and president
OF the Pan Motor Car company of
st. Cloud. Mimi, and II other Off
Gals of the company charged with
conspiracy to use the mails to de-
fraud was given to the jury at 1920
o'clock tonight.
Judge Lands refused motions
BY defense lawyers to instruct the
iurv to find defendants not guilty.
1T is only for the court to end the
prosecution where there is no evil
dence at all against the defendant
not to put his own Interpretation on
evidence which admits of two inter-
pretatons,' said the Judge in the alb
sence OF the jurors.
He continued that in the case of
s. c. Pandolfo the evidence not only
made it possible. but necessary, to
convict him, in his opinion He dis
cussed the case of the other II de
PENDANTS, ending with the eight di
rectors of the corporation who live
in St. Cloud, MINI, the site of the
Pan plant,
Contemplate Sales.
Il have lot of sympathy for
what you said about these eight
men," he told Senator R. B. Brewer.
II am not saying what would do
as a juror, but as Judge l cannot
dismiss them now"
"One thing | must say | cannot
understand-that is the professions
of enduring confidence which these
men have expressed in the author
Of all this.
"There is another thing | want to
say and that is that the affirmative
willingness of the corporation to
take Liberty bonds for its stock is
rot nice. I'll go farther than to say
it isn't nice. 1t is a contemplate
way to sell stock"
Ben Epstein opened the argu-
ment for the prosecution by outlin-
ing Pandolfo's career in Texas and
New Mexico. He held up his flnan-
cial dealings and said they proved
him to be dishonest. He said that
bonds of the Pan company promo
ton of stock were given away for
letters OF recommendation.
To Jury Saturday.
Coming down to the resolution OF
September 7, 1917, by which the d.
rectors gave Pandolfo theNspending
of Is per cent of the proceeds from
stock sales under their supervision,
the attorney charged that this was a
premeditated subterfuge to aid |
trouble with the Minnesota State Sc
curities commission. There was a
session of court tonight in an effort |
to. get the case to the jury tomor-
row. Arguments on both sides are
limited to six hours.
The general charge against the IS
defendants is that of using the mails
TO obtain money by false pretenses
and of entering into conspiracy to
do this. The punishment is maxi
mum OF FIVE years Imprisonment for
the conspiracy and two years for
every count OF the indictment prov
