It was stated at police headquar-
ters last night that warrant had
been sent to the New York police yes
terday asking for the arrest of a
man who had passed an alleged
worthless check here. Detective
Fowler has been investigating the
case.
Riggs Bank officials said last night
that they did not know the name of
the party who forged the signature
of one of their depositors. but that
the local police had been asked to in
vestigate the case, and that the facts
are substantially as related In the
above New York dispatch. However,
only yesterday an unsigned Telegram
was received at the bank asking them
to withhold action in the case, as
funds would be sent to cover the

Not Signing Paper.

Admiral Wilson placed this paper
in their hands a week ago, but the
midshipmen, as a whole. are not
signing 1t. The Implication. Of course.
is that few conscientiously can do SO.
However, it Is stated by some of them
in explanation that many in the class
could do SO. but that in many cases
their action might be considered in
sincere, so there seems to be general
agreement that the paper will be un-
signed and the trip to Philadelphia
foregone.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, October 21.-
Four midshipmen, members Of the
first or graduating class. in addition
to those already involved In the mat
ter. are confined to the Reina Mer-
cedes and are likely to face a court
martial on charges of haxing. 1t is
understood that the facts upon which
the midshfpmen are under suspicion
were brought ont through the board
Of investigation now In session.
There have now been nine nidship-
men involved during the present
movement against the practice. Two
midshipmen, Stuart H. Hawkins Of
Massachusetts, and Bruce H. Robin
son Of Arizona, have been tried by
court but the action of the
court has not been announced. The
midshipmen recently sent to the ship
under charges are: George H. Lord,
Hawaii; Francis W. Laurent, Wis
consin. and Jack H. Kerans. Ohio.
Midshipman Ebert L. Frieberger of
Colorado is also under charges, but
he is in the naval hospital, as he has
been i'll.
Names Of Several Brought In.
In addition to these midshipmen
the names of several were brought
into the matter through testimony
given by a witness, a fourth class
man. during the trial Of Midshipman
Robinson. Two Of these. summoned
later as witnesses. declined to testify
on the ground that they might incrim-
mate themselves.
These developments indicate that
hazing since the opening Of the new
term at the Naval Academy has been
more widespread than at first sup
posed. This is borne out by the fact
that very few Of the members Of the
first class have been willing to secure
the privilege of attending the foot
ball game in Philadelphia next Sat-
urday. against the University of
Pennsylvania by signing a paper
stating on their conscience that they
have not offended against the rules
indicated in a pamphlet given them
by Rear Admiral Henry B. Wilson.

year.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Not only are social customs in
large degree controlled by phrases but
we are to no inconsiderable extent
governed by them. Consider the con
ditions which exist In this country to-
day in regard to the inculcation and
dissemination Of seditious teachings,
poisoning the minds Of the discomfort
ed and uninstructed and openly in
tended 10 destroy our institutions.
A recent thorough investigation Of
the facts by Wade H. Ellis, former At
torney General Of Ohio and Assistant
Attorney General Of the United States,
shows that the activities Of the Reds,
the I. w. w, the Bolshcviki and the
advanced Socialists and Communists
present. The overthrow OF all govern
ment by violence is openly advocated.
There are more than 250 daily, week
" or monthly publications in twenty
six different languages circulated in
the United States which urge direct
action to destroy the government,
twenty-seven Of which are circulated
among the negroes. Infammatory
pamphlets from Russra are coming
here IN large numbers and being dis
tributed throughout the country and
secret meetings are being held IN all
the large cities, where revolution by
melted.
Not only so, but as the law now
stands the people Of the country are
taxed to help pay for the dissemina-
ton by the mails Of their deadly poi
son. Read single extract from q re-
cent issue OF one Of these publications:
"You must organize IN the shops and
use the strike against the government.
You must be prepared so that when the
revolutionary crisis comes you can
turn a general strike against the gov
ernment into an armed uprising to
overthrow the government"
What is the government doing TO
protect its citizens from such dan
ger, citizens from whom It is exacting
enormous taxes? Nothing, so far as
We can learn. Certainly nothing that
has checked or is diminishing the evil.
Is it not the duty Of the government
to exercise all its powers, and they are

Teaching Young Artists
The Great Men Help in France-A

To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Tho establishment OF an Tor
ganic working alliance between New
York University and the National
Academy Of Design" may appeal to
public interest on sentimental grounds.
but 1t Is open to doubt If the fine arts
are going to be much assisted thereby.
Anything which will cause the arts to
be respected is good for the health Of
nation, but the practical advantage
Of uniting in matrimony two elderly
parties like the university and the
academy does not move one to hope
for q numerous and active family. To
paraphrasc Gilbert:
"The steps we may rue
For their babes may be elderly, elderly,
too"
But II the liberality and extent Of
tho foundation are not to be limited to-
acreage and there Is to be real Ma
tional School Of Art in America it can
become efectual and different from the
excellent schools already existing only
by adopting something OF the French
principle, and even improving upon It.
The great artists of France recognize
responsibility to the young gencr-
alton, which often leads them to visit
and teach in the schools all their lives.
There will be, no doubt, excellent
teachers in the schools, and technical
matters will be attended to, but since
art depends upon inspiration and stinu-
lating tho imagination every we'll
known artist, American or foreign, res
idcnt or visiting, should be invited
to visit and criticize the work Of the
university school students, care being
taken that neither the most academic
nor the most violently anti-academic
artists should be uninvted. A school
which could obtain the visiting assist
ance Of Mr. Blashfeld and Pablo Picasso
in one week would be the finest in
the world.
Students Of art arc not taught
finite science, nor do they learn best
from any one man or kind of man. In
art "thc way cxisteth not; they
progress in proportion to their ability
to choose and record their own i'm
prcssions from among q myriad oppos-
ing influences. That is why Paris means
