Strongly Criticizes Officials For
Attitude Toward War College

This Training Is An Outrage.
SERVICE rs DISGUSTED
WITH SITUATION, HE SAYS
fBy The Associated Press.

BOSTON. MASS, May S.-The
Navy Department was criticized for
appointing officers who are not gradu-
Gtes OF the Naval War College to the
most important positions in the sery-
ice by Rear-Admiral William S. Sims.
retired. at Newport, r. l., today in a
statement to the Boston Transcript.
In my opinion" said Admiral
Sims, 'the attitude of the Navy De-
partment towards the War College is
little short Of crime. The appoint
ment of an officer VINO is not a gradu-
ate of the War College tc be CON-
manderin-chief of the Atlantic feet
is an outrage against the American
people, and so is the appointment of a
non-graduate 10 the most important
position in the service-that of chief
Of naval operations"
Claims "Same Old Play OF Politics.
Appointment of an officer lacking
this training 10 DE head of the Naval
Academy at Annapolis is nothing
short OF scandalous, Admiral Sims de-
clared, adding that no War College
man has every held this position.
More than half of the officers given
preference in the transfers recently
announced to take effect this summer
are not graduates of the War College.

CASE AGAINST
W., B. "a. FAILS;
NON PROS TAKEN

The Circuit Court re-convened this
morning for the trial of cases on the
civil docket and will continue on with
this until these cases are all tried
or otherwise disposed Of This is ex-
pected to be next Thursday or Friday,
with the possibility that tomorrow
will finish them up. The criminal
docket will then be resumed and
pressed to final conclusion without
delay.
TOday's session of the court was
Unexpectedly brief, the only case that
actually came Up for trial having
abruptly terminated on law points.
This was the case of Zinc Bros. Co.,
employer of Jesse Bagley, and 9TH
ers. against the W., B. & A. Electric
Railroad, for $25, 900 damages because
of injuries sustained by Bagley when
he came in contact with some elec-
trio wires at Camp Parole Station last
July while unloading a steam shovel
for his employer.
At the conclusion OF the Plaintiffs
case, their attorneys withdrew it,
taking non pros, after the Court had
indicated that they had failed to make
out sufficient case to entitle them
to recover in the present action, the
point having been raised by prayers
offered by defendants attorneys. The
jury was then discharged and ad-
journment taken until tomorrow
morning.

on Friday night and enjoy this splen
did musical show and, at the same

M|DD|ES MAY YET
ENTER POUGHKEEPS|E
Question Re-Opened And Will
Be Settled Last Of Week,
Says Admiral Wilson

Prospects OF Navy's entrance in the
Poughkeepsie rowing regatta have
assumed more favorable turn. Rear
Admiral Henry B. Wilson, superinten-
dent OF the Naval Academy announc-
ed that the matter will be re-opened
and a definite decision reached by the
end Of the present week. Permis-
sion, OF course. will have to be OBJ
tanned from the Navy Department,
and 1t is felt by those in touch with
rowing that this will be forthcom-
ing.
Local Crew Potent Factor
Superintendent Wilson had previ-
'ously ruled against the Middies' en-
tering the big classic, largely on the
grounds that their training prepara-
tions encroached too much upon the
itinerary of the summer practice
cruise. The Middies' triumph over
Princeton and Harvard in the Car
negie Lake regatta on Saturday, cou-
pied with previous victories over
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts
Tech, it is pointed out, renders it
highly desirable that they row on the
Hudson, IL Collegiate rowing suprem-
acy for the year is to be decided AS
to the cruise, which will be to for
eign waters, it is thought a satisfac-
tory way can be found to convey the
squad of oarsmen to the ships at some
convenient point, soon after the big
event.
1t Is regarded as not unlikely that
the matter will be taken up with Sec
retary of the Navy DENLY today, as
he is coming to Annapolis to address
the regiment of students on his re-
cent cruise through the Canal with
the battleship feet.
The Navy oarsmen have one other
scheduled race on home waters, that
with Syracuse, May 10. but decision
as to Poughkeepsie will be reached
regardless of that.

URGE BUILDING
CONCRETE DAMS
At WATER PLANT
President Moss Of Company,
Also Suggests Filtration Ques-
ton Be Settled Before Contem-
plated Improvements At
Works Are Undertaken.
CITY HAS AUTHORITY
TO FLOAT BOND ISSUE

Urging the construction of per
manent dams at the works of the
Annapolis Water Company; def
mite action on the question of
erecting a filtration plant; ac-
QUESTION of additional property
to increase the water supply; and
suggesting that a bond issue be
tioated to raise sufficient funds TO
carry the projected improve
ments into effect; William III.
Moss, president, submitted a re-
port to the Board of Directors of
the Water Company at a meeting
held last night. The recommen-
dations embraced in the report
are the result of damages
wrought to the impounding dams
by the cloudburst of two weeks
ago.
Authority For Bond Issue
The city is vested with annie
authority under an act of the Legis.
iature of 1922 to issue bonds to pro
vide necessary improvements at the
water works. That act authorized a
loan of 100000. After considering
the report of the president, the water
board adopted the following order Of
fered by City Counselor Hugh r.
Riley, who is one OF the directors of
the company:
Ordered. by the Board of Direc-
tors OF the Annapolis Water Com
pany, that a committee, consist
ing of the president and one other
member to be named by the board,
be appointed to confer with a
committee OF three members of
the Mayor, Counselor and Alder
men OF the City of Annapolis, for
the purpose of framing an ordi-
nance, as provided by Chapter 349
of the Acts of 1922. providing for
the issuance of bonds for the con-
struction of permanent dams at
the Annapolis water works and
for such other permanent i'm
provements and enlargements, in
Guiding the purchase of addition
al streams and lands, as shall be
regarded as advisable.
To Obviate Special Election
The municipal authorities and Off.
cials of the Water Company plan to
work quickly in the premises. II the
bonds are to be issued, IL is pointed
out. provision can be made to have
the issue decided at the city election
to be held in July, instead of the ne
cessity Of special election
Meanwhile, the emergency arising
out of the washing away Of the dams
has been fully met by means of tenn
porary repairs, and the almost con-
stant use Of the steam pump, and the
new electric pump is now ready for
installation. Various suggestions
have been made looking to improve
ments and better facilities at the
water plant Among these is the exs
tension of line of pipe far beyond
the present plant to streams from
which clear water will be at once OBJ
tainable.
