ALL POMP BEFORE 10000

Hum Adjuva." meaning Thou assist
Him" This was joined in by thousands,
the volume of sound echoing through he
cupola and high walls most impressiyely.
Again the Pope displayed emotion.
Thus was crowned the 260th successor
of st. Peter, and the bugles sounded the
announcement to the world that j
new Pope reigned in Rome.
The cortege passed through the aisle,
under the flagstones of which Benedict
XIV. is lying, proceeding to the tomb,
where the new Pontiff pledged himself
to continue pursuit of the ideals rec
ognized by the dead Pontiff. The COR
tege also proceeded to the sepulcher Of
the first Pope. The Pontiff recited IN ,
prayer "Exaudi Domino" TO which all
responded. and after striking the tomb
of ST. Peter three sharp blows with
a small stick covered with red velvet,
returned to the Vatican.
A great crush again occurred as the
crowds, tired by long standing. made a
concerted rush for the exits. The Swiss
Guards momentarily were unable to re-
strain those within the Basilica, while
the soldiers found themselves in trouble
in the quares. The crowds at that time
were beginning their prolonged cheering
for the new Pope. pleading and urging
that the Pontiff come out and bless them
from the balcony.
BY now IL was warm and balmy. in con
trast with the cold of early morning, and
the people considered that the plea Of
too severe weather was no longer justi-
fed. Then the Pope came forth, ana
the enthusiasm reached its highest
pitch. There were cries of Long Live
the Pope" varied with cries OF Long
Live Ratti," as the Pontiff, after bestow-
ing the blessing, made his little familiar
gesture of salutation with his hand.
Finally, the vast assemblage dis
persed in happy mood, while the Pope
returned within the Vatican walls, from
which his predecessors since 1870 never
emerged, even refraining from looking
out upon Rome from the windows of
their apartments.
The crush inside the Basilica was ter
rife, many women fainting. These were
carried to the emergency hospital in
stalled in a small chapel to the rear of
81. Peters. but there Is no record OF
any one having been seriously injured.
Crowds thrice as large as that within
the church filled the immense st. Peters
squartS and when the Pope came out on
the balcony after the coronation cere-
mony Il was estimated that nearly 200,-
600 persons had gathered in the imme-
diate vicinity OF st. Peters.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov s.-Assert-
ing that midshipmen who had been
called as witnesses for the prosecu-
tion had been malsreated in their rooms
in Bancroft Hall last night, was the
surprising statement made by Judge
Advocate Murphy during the session
of the court martial, which is trying
Midshipman John P. Gilmer jr on
charges OF hazing.
The midshipman principally con-
cerned in the attack was Joseph G.
-Bonifant, who is blamed by most of
the others as the prime mover in the
present hazing crusade. They feel that
there would have been no court martial
and no dismissals but for him.
4 Criticized for Testimony
= Bonifant. testified that last evening
a fourth classman, not known by
name to him. came to his room and
criticized him for his part in the trial,
some words followed and the visitors
departed, warning that something wonld
happen to Bonifant later. About two
o'clock this morning, Bonifant testified,
a crowd, believed by him to be fourth
classmen, came to his room, which is
occupied by three members of that class,
and threw two buckets of water over
him. They also threw one bucketful
over his roomate, r. G. Allen. Allen
is witness in one of the cases.
Though Bonifant is believed by the
midshipmen to have "squealed" and
brought about the present hazing pros
ecutions, the fact is denied by the
Naval Academy authorities. They say
that Bonifant made no revelations until
he had submitted his resignation.
Upon receiving it he was sent for and
questioned as to his reasons, and it
was then that the fact Of his having
been hazed was elected from him.
The judge advocate asked that pro-
vost guard be detailed to protect the
prosecuting witnesses. Admiral Will
son gave assurances that adequate
measures will be taken.
Defense Well Developed

upon which Gilmer and probably the
other accused midshipmen will rely was

to portions Of speech made to the
present class last May, when its mem
bers were about to become first class
men, and to letter written by him to
them Mt the opening Of the present

claim, stated to them last May that it
was proper that the freshness should
be taken out of the new midshipme n,
but warned them against brutality, In
reference with newcomers at meals
and the imposition Of any menial serv-
