REINSTATEMENT OF
DEFICIENT M|DD|ES

day that 157 Midshipmen had been
dropped for deficiency in scholastic
work. Secretary DENLY was flooded
with letters from Congress urging re

The Secretary was nursing a cold,
but ii was said at his Office there can
be no reinstatements. Final decision
is the Academic Board.
In addition to the 157 who were
compelled to resign, ten were drop
ped to lower classes and 15S were
placed on probation. Ninety who fail
ed to pass the semi-Rnal examina-
tion were in the 'plebe" class.
AT the Navy Department it was said

Meanwhile, those midshipmen who
fell by the board entirely rendered
their designations yesterday afternoon

Russ Crown Jewels
Not In Coffin Of
Seaman
fRr The Assoclated Press.l

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-None of
the Russian crown jewels was
found in the cofin OF Seaman
James Jones when the body bur-
led in a Brooklyn cemetery was
disinterred today by the govern
ment.
Sensational rumors regarding
the Russian crown jewels have
been current every since the death
of Czar Nicholas. The first con-
crete evidence that they were be-
ing sought in America by the
United States government came
about a month ago when William
B. Williams, special agent of the
treasury department. admitted
that he was investigating re-
port that $4,000. coo worth of Jew
els were buried in a Brooklyn
cemetery
The story was that the jewels
had been smuggled into this coun-
try in 1920 in the coffin of a sailor
who died aboard the army trans
port Edellyn in August, 1920.

NAVY TACKLES VARSITY
QU|NT OF DELAWARE

The Navy basketball tossers, now
entering the final stages OF the sea
sons campaign, stacked up against
the five of Delaware University this
afternoon. The contest was antici-
pated with more than ordinary inter-
est in view of the fact that Delaware
generally presents strong combina-
ton, and is one of few institutions
that have turned the middies back in
defeat. They accomplished this two
years ago by close score, but last
year the middies more than got re-
venge by winning by decisive
margin.
Great interest is being shown here
in the forthcoming battle with the
rival West Point Cadets. The contest.
it is expected, will be witnessed by a
record gallery. The Army lads have
been going great guns throughout the
season.
The middies, on the other hand.
have picked up in wonderful style,
and should be in prime shape for the
fracas. Hence a battle royal is
looked for.
