ANNAPOLIS SENIORS
REMAIN FULL YEAR
Order for Advance Grodua-
tion Is Rescinded.

WASHINGTON, May I. - Secretary
DENLY announced to-day he had re-
scinded an order Issued several weeks
ago providing for the graduation Of the
1872 class at the Naval Academy six
months before the regular graduation
date. He said he had decided to give
to the class the benefit OF the full senior
year at the academy.
The Secretary explained originally he
had decided on the early graduation be-
cause the navy was and would continue
to be short of officers. and added he re-
GREETED tendency TO attribute the
original order to a desire in the Navy
Department to fill the lower grades OF
the service and thus prevent the loss Of
temporary rank to a large number Of
regular navy officers who will lose from
one to two grades next December under
present conditions.
THE Secretary" Mr.. Denby's state
ment said. has too high a regard for
the commissioned personnel of the SER

ton would influence any officer 50

HOUSE HALTS BILL
ON CABLE CONTROL
Committee Recalls Measure
and Wants to Hear From
Hughes and Root.
Special Despatch TO THE NEW YoRK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. G., May ]. J
Domestic and int irrational complica-
tons have arisen to delay passage by
the House of the Kellogg bill to regu-
late landing and operation of subma-
rine cables. The bill, already passed by
the Senate. was reported favorably. but
the House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce has recalled it and
public hearings will be held. beginning
May 10.
Among those who have cen specially
notified to appear at the hearing are
Secretary of State Hughes, Elihu Root
of New York and Newcomb Carlton,
president of the Western Union Tela-
graph Company.
The bill is the result of the contest
between the Government during the
close of the Wilson Administration and
the Western Union Telegraph Company
over landing a cable at Miami 1t ap-
pears the Western Union has a con-
tract with the Western Telegraph Com
pany, a British concern. which has mo-
nopolstic Interpret privileges in Brazil
The British company purposed to ex-
and the Western Union was to connect
Barbados with Miami. Secretary of
the Navy Daniels was ordered to pre-
vent by armed force the landing Of the
catSe on United States territory and
did so.
Meantime the Western Union Com
pany brought injunction proceedings In
the District of Columbia courts, and
the Government did the same against
the Wesern Union before Judge Hand
of the Southern District of New York.
Judge Hand held that the power to
regulate landing of cables rested with
Congress and not with the executive,
and this decision was upheld by the
Circuit Court of Appeals and is now
pending in the United States Supreme
Court on appeal
In view of the fact that the President
appeared about TO be shorn of a power
that he had exercised since the time of
President Grant. and Congress to be
vested with a power ii had never used,
Senator Kellogg introduced his bill which
would place the power of regulating
landing of cables in the hands of the
President and also authorize him to pass
on cables now landed.
The sudden determination to with
draw the bill from the House and re-
consider it in committee is understood
to involve the entire question of the Gov
eminent policy OF communications both
by telegraph and by radio, bur the ex-
act cause of the delay has not been di-
vulged by the State Department.
