WILSON TAKES Up
ACADEMY DUTIES
WITH ENTHUSIASM
Wants to Be Friend as Well as
Commander Of Middies at
Annapolis.
~ HUGH II. RILEY.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, July 9-Ths
twenty-five hundred or so youths who
will be trained as the future officers
of the navy OF the United states will
feel for some time the guiding HAND
OF Admiral Henry b. Wilson. one OF
the most distinguished. and at tho
same time most democratic, human
and likable officers OF the service.
Tho late commander of the Atlantic
feet does not feel that ne has Desn
assigned to a small sob" when call.
ed upon to direct the affairs OF the
Naval Academy. On the contrary, no
thinks IL IL a big thing to be a mid
shipmsn and have a chance to be-
como an officer of high rank In the
navy. Consequently, he Is impressed
with the Importance OF the work OF
training these young men for tneiI
high duties and their great response
bilttiss.
Admiral Wilson graduated from
the Naval Academy in 1881, and has
never had a period of duty as an
sfficer at II. His work has been TO
command men and ships. and he has
reached almost the pinnacle of fame
and accomplishment open to an
officer OF the navy. However. he Is
full of enthusiasm about his new
association with his midshIpmen, for
be intends to be their friend and
helper, as well as their mentor and
their commanding officer.
THE VIEWS.
IT have a son OF my own" Admiral
Wilson said. land my attitude to-
ward the youths under my charge
win be that OF a father. They must
learn TO obey and / will stand no
nonsense from them. but they will be
treated In a considerate and symps
thetic way, and ] have no doubt they
will be glad to do the things which
are required of them.
AZ will want the midshipmen to
understand that the country mas
given each ono Of them the oppor-
tunity of rising to a position In its
service second only to that OF the
President, and want them to be
duly appreciative. remember my
own entrance into the naval
Academy and feel that the nation nas
done great things for me by making
the little boy ! was into an officer
and giving me my chance for service.
81 wa. greatly impressed wit n
sermon delivered by the fleet chap
lain. Capt sydney X. Evans, whom
I have brought to the Naval Academy
with me, some time ago. He i'm
pressed upon US that the important
thing is not what we get out Of
life but what we give. I want to
impress upon tho midshipmen their
obligation to give as much as they
can In return for what the nation
Is doing for them"
Admiral Wilson paid a high tribute
to Capt. Thomas r Kurtz, VINO mas

midshipmen. the position of second
rank at the Academy. Captain Kurt,

was on the star OF Admiral Wilson
and handled all the details connected
with the escort Of tho transports
carrying United States troops.
Admiral Wilson has secured other
officers who were on duty with him
during the war as his co-workers At
the Academy. and will obtain others.
His own idea Is that the midshtpmen
should have as their instructors offt-
GERS whose performances during the
times of real responsibility were OF
special worthiness. He thinks the
influence upon the midshipmen can
not help but be good.
BELIEVES IN PUBLICITY.
The term of Admiral Wilson as su-
perintendent of the Naval Academy
will be one OF complete publicity; tho
people of the United States wal not
be kept in the dark as to any phase
OF the life and workings OF their
Naval Academy. /"I do not believe in
covering things up" said the ADMIRAL,
"and We will have no secrets at tho
Naval Academy. There will be no
need for any, for the Academy will
be run In a way which will make
secrecy unnecessary, 1t is good
thing for the people of the United
States to know just what is being
done here and I want them to know
It,"

was attracted by the boys cries and
saw the Italian maltreatinR MIN.
They were convinced she could have
witnessed the killing and after n
short elaboration, the talesme o
brought a verdict CT first degree muir
der against the italian.
As such a verdict in the District
carries with II the death penalty,
Milano was sentenced to die on the
gallows of the District jail. His
friends obtained executive clemency
and the death sentence was commuted
to life imprisonment at the a ederal
prison.

What do you think about Il?
Scores OF persons have been con-
victed on circumstsntial evidence and
have been either hanged or electro
cuted. Take the Durant case, where
young girl was killed In a church
steeple. Durant was hanged for the
crime, A few years after his death
the actual slayer confessed.
Another case was that known as the
famous dagger mystery" IL was
the case OF a man found dead with a
dagger pierced through his heart. A
pssserby was pulling the dagger from
the heart OF the dead man when he
was taken into custody. He was tried
and convicted. Later the real culprlt
was arrested. Police records show
many similar cases OF persons con-
