Navigation. Navy Department, Rear
Admiral Henry B. Wilson, Superin-
tendent of the Naval Academy, went
to Washington today to hold confer

about the city to the effect that all oil
the $40 members of the Senior class
will receive their commissions. While
there is no official information to that

the Senate. and the prevailing belle
is that the Senate will be more liberia
than the lower house by providing
commissions for all.

YOUTH FAILS
IN MENTAL TESTS FOR

There is no possible chance of the
Naval Academy having a negro mid
shipman on it's rolls during the next
academic term, for it developed In
connection with the announcement of
the list of candidates who qualified in
the April mental examinations for ad-
mission that Emil T. Holly, the New
York negro designated for appoint
ment by Congressman Ansorge, failed
in the tests.
Holly's failure is said to have been
complete. He was one of more than
700 candidates who took the late ex-
aminations conducted under civil
service regulations at the various
points throughout the country, and all

230, or approximately 80 per cent
were found successful. This number
includes 27 men designated from tAe

del county, was robbed OF $3.50 by a
negro who was profuse in apologize
ing after he had spat on the farmers

supplies. He had placed the money
in tobacco pouch which he carried
in his pocket.
Lowman was gazing in a Pratt
street window when two negroes ap-
preached and stood near. A few Sec
onds later one negro tapped Lowman
on the shoulder and al the same time
drew a handkerchief from his pocket.
Please excuse me, boss, but didn't
mean to spit on your coat. said the
negro.
"Lcwman turned, glanced at the
negro and told him he should be care
full In the meantime the negro was
busy with his handkerchief, while the
other negro chided him for being SO
slow A few seconds later the two
ambled away, and Lowman continued
west on Pratt street. At Howard
street he discovered his loss and ap-
pealed to Patrolman John Derr, West

DRESS REHEARSAL
TOMORROW NIGHT Of
HARRINGTON COMEDY

An admission fee of 10 cents will
be charged for children who wish to
see the dress rehearsal tomorrow of
Clarence the Booth Harrington
comedy, which the Catholic Daughters
of America will give on Wednesday
and Thursday evenings at st. Mary's
Hall.
The demand for seats for the play
has beea great, and the rehearsals
give promise of a delightful evenings
entertainment.
Writing of Clarence" a critic has
said: 1T is real delight. 1t is pri-
marily an American comedy - as
American as Huckleberry Finn or
pumpkin pie-and the audience rip
rles with appreciation and delighted
laughter through all four acts. 1t is
as good as any native comedy that
has been produced in the last 10 sea-
sons"
Clarence himself, the role played
by Arthur Callahan, is no hero. He
has no medals or shoulder straps
he was simply one of the five million
men that served where they were
sent, though it was no farther than
Texas. Being an entomologist before
he went to camp, he, of course. found
no field for his specially in the war,
so he was set to guarding mules.
Once back in civil life he finds a
rncsffnn IN fhn ne
Wheeler family, and on account OF
having been in the army becomes the
guide and friend of the members OF
that strange. agitated and distracted
family group. He mends the bath
room plumbing and tunes the piano
does typewriting and plays the saxo-
phone; while arornd him is grouped
set of characters such as only
Booth Tarkington could offer.

NOTED PREACHER AT
NAVAL ACADEMY CH
Rev. Henry van Dyke, D. D., De
livers Interesting Address
To Midshipmen
CALLS AGE RESTLES S

Speaking yesterday to a congrega.
tion. that packed the Naval Academy
Chapel TO the doors the Rev. Henry
van Dyke, of the Princeton Theologi-
cal School, said he had chosen Ia
preach a sermon for restless age
his text was from ST. John 1:14 Let
not your heart be troubled. Ye believe
in God-believe also in Me-"
DR.. van Dyke started by explaining
that the causes that produced rest
lessness in individuals operated the
same way on countries as a whole.
Over strain being one of the princi-
pal of these the present condition of
things could be directly traced TO the
over strain during the great war He
said he had a great deal of sympathy
with the young men who actually went
through the war-they had to step
lively during that period and it was
natural that they should continue to
do so even If many of them appar-
emily neither knew what they were
stepping on, nor where to.
Another cause of the national un-
rest, he thought, was that the coun-
try is suffering from undigested i'm
migration, which forms as noxious
gasses in the tody polite as undi-
gestod food does in its human coun-
terpart. His own advice would he to
deport all immigrants who at the end
OF 10 years, which he considered a
most generous time allowance, had not
learned the English language, it being
impossible to assimilate the doctrines
and principles of Americanism as
formulated by such great men as
Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln anu
Roosevelt, unless their language was
understood. Here the speaker ad-

OF the holdup and robbery OF Mrs.
Elizabeth Atwell. an aged white wo-
man of Broadwater, in the lower

Because of the widespread interest
manifested in the case in the city and

sent to its readers in a more compre-
hensive way than heretofore the de-
tails OF the case. and the testimony
adduced during progress OF the trial.
Judge Moss VIII Preside
Judge Moss will be on the bench
during the trial, as he was when the
case was up two weeks ago. The ac-
cused men are: Leonard and Stanley
Windsor, cousins; Owen Trott. and
Harry. alias Chick" Hubbard, all
well-known about the city. Arthur
Simmons made the fifth of the orig
inal accused. He was convicted upon
his own admissions, he having turned
States evidence, by confessing that
he had a part in the crime, and i'm
plicating the other four. AS to the
other four, however. the first jury
disagreed. after deliberations that ex-
tended through an entire night.
Counsel for the accused sought to
have the case removed to another
jurisdiction after the State had de-
cided upon re-trial. but a motion TO
thisseffect was denied by Judge Moss.
Should Get Jury Promptly
The Court does not expect TO en-
counter as much difficulty in impahel-
ing a jury tomorrow as marked the
trst trial, as comprehensive list of
jurors from every district in the
county has been made up, thus giving
wide range for selection, that is ex-
pected TO assume a prompt start of
the case.

Too much for NJ. lie Marie. He
turned to his secretary and asked
her in French what / was talking
about. She said II was about a tax
on sales on commodities.
"Ah yes, il has just gone off. II
is no more. Two years ago, yes.
Not now"
Then the secretary and ! con-
WINGED him that the tax had not
gone off. that the manufacturer
and wholesaler together now con-
tributed to the. government per
cent of the selling price OF the
manufactured article.
"Bien. monsieur" he admitted at
last, you may be right. But
there Is the income tax. stamp tax
so many taxes today that ! cannot
remember all. The sales tax had
forgotten"
The final answer Of NJ. lie Marie
is a perfect digest Of the average
Canadian opinion of the sales tax.
II is leveled in such a way that he
never sees II. IL is nothing in his
life. II certainly fulfils one Of the
requirements Of a good tax. ITO

Of squawking."
Probably one reason why there
is so little popular knowledge Of.
or feeling regarding the sales tax,
Is that in so many instances IL is
borne by manufacturer, wholesaler,
or dealer, and not passed on to
the consumer. New specific Illus
trations Of this fact are brought
to my attention every day.

MacNider, national commander of

half hours talk at the White House
today concerning the soldier bonus.
When it was concluded MacNider
and the legion representatives who

was still with them "heart and soul''
for the bonus, and they said he had
assured them that there would be
mo unnecessary delay" in the
granting Of relief by Congress.
No definite assurance Of immedi-
ate passage was given, however, 60
far as could be learned, and Mac.
Nider said. when leaving the White
House:
IF 1t Isn't passed right now. It
will be eventually"
The upshot Of the conference this
morning strengthened the belief
strongly prevalent in some quartz 8
that there will be some delay in the
passage of the measure.
The legion representatives con-
tented themselves with stating thnt
the President had assured them
there would be no unnecessary de-
