The Nov, Jersey Senator feels SatiS-

it was too early to make any predlc-

He added that he is hopeful that Con-

at least S3OO, 600, 900, basing his hopes
on tho nresent income Of the Govern

Out in Exercises
at Annapolis.
Sp ,ial Dispatch. to The Star.

ANNAPOLIS. Md. June 2.--1n a
speech to the 1927 graduates of the
Naval Academy here today Secretary
of the Navy Wilbur warned the 533
men Of the many States OF the Ma
ton who received diplomas and com.
missions as ensigns that the know
ledge they have acquired is but the
foundation of their life work.
The graduating exercises. when
began at 1890 am. marked the Gil.
max Of June week, which has peen
filled with many activities by the
students. Rear Admiral l.. M. Nul'

made the opening address. pointing
to the glorious record of the institu'
ton and it's struggles since 1S45, when
it was established He told or the
strength of the Navy today and what
The Government expected and had re.
ceived from its trained officers.
Activities OF Officers.
Emphasizing that the activities
within the naval profession 1nciude
not only communications. gunnery'
navigation, naval construction, avia-
ton, law, engineering and other arts.
but diplomacy and government as
well, Secretary Wilbur said:
"a naval officer, Admiral Bristol, is
Just returning from long term Of
service as q diplomat at CONSTANT

conference at Geneva for the limita-
ton of armament. Others will soon
depart for the conference between
England, Japan and America at

Peru, where our officers are cooperat.

AS to whether the Naval Academy
is performing it's mission. Supt. Mutton
said in part:
1.-THE student body is a cross Sec
tion of this country, and in this re-.
spect more intrinsically national in its
characteristics than any other insti-
tuition except it's sister academy Of
West Point. Its student personnel
runs the entire range from those who
have had every opportunity and ad.
vantage to those who have been most
limited in this respect. The academy
and the service itself care little for
any OA LheSC SACSpt tHS luLTlUSlC NdIue
OF the man himself, as it is upon this
individual characteristic alone that
his capacity for leadership is de.
pendent.
THE superintendent Is frequently
called upon 10 make decisions in cases
where midshiprlen have received an
excessive number of demerits, based
on reports, for small offenses when
the total of these has exceeded the
number allowed and the midshipmen
concerned have been found unsetis.
factory and disciplinary action neces.
sary. 1t has always been the plea
that these are small things and should
not be considered. Attention is called
to the fact that a steady repetition
of small offenses throughout an en-
tire course is positive evidence of IRE.
sponsibility and unreliability. even
though the moral character Of the
midshipman concerned may be good
and his personality may be pleasing.
One may like him, but one knows he
cannot be depended upon."

DR.. Frankland'S trial was continued
for several reasons. In the first place,
only two Of the three judges demanded

They were Judge Troth and Judge
George C.. Stuart. The third one,
Judge George K. Pickett, had pressing

Are Appointed as Independ-

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, June 2.-The interna-
tionally celebrated case OF Nicola Sac
co and Bartolomeo Vanzetti swung
onto new ground today with the ap-
pointment by Gov. Alvan T. Fuller OF
a commission to aid him in his review
Of the long litigation surrounding the
conviction and sentence to death OF
the admitted radicals as slayers.
A. Lawrence Lowell, president Of
Harvard University; Robert Grant.
formerly a judge of the Probate
Court and a novelist, and Samuel w.
Stratton, president Of the Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology. COM
prise the advisory committee.
They will sit independently Of the
governor, who for several weeks has
devoted large part of his time to his
| own review OF the proceedings.
First Hint Of Course.
Gov. Fuller's announcement was his
| first intimation of his method of han
ding the case since he first undertook
| consideration of the evidence on the
| plea of Vanzetti, who, in a 10 0,00O-word
petition on behalf Of himself and
Sacco. called for Justice" ana ,ex-
oneration.
Both are under sentence to die dur
| ing the week of July 10 for the MUIR
| der of South Braintree paymaster
and his guard more than seven years
| ago.
Since their conviction in 1921 until
they were sentenced to death last
April. after the Supreme Court had
twice dismissed appeals for a new
| trial, a defense committee which
raised hundreds of thousands of dol
lars has kept their case before the
world.
Deluged With Advice.
Gov. Fuller has been deluged with
thousands of communications repre-
senting all shades of opinion and
gratuitous advice has poured in upon
him from many parts of the globe.
The defense has consistently main.
| tanned that because of their admit
tedly radical Affiliations. the convicted
men did not receive a fair trial. Web
ster Thayer. trial judge, was made the
| subject of charges of bias in six affi-
davits from newspaper reporters and
others at the time of the Vanzetti pe.
tition.
Because of the shortness OF time
between the appointment of the ad.
vlsory committee. which must con.
slider mountainous mass of evidence.
and the date set for the executions.
there were suggestions today that the
governor might defer the date.

HEAD OF AL. SEES
TRADES AS A BOON
Sure New Faces viii Help.
Declares Draft Is Best
for All Concerned.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
A TI.ANTIC CITY, n. j., December
~ 22.-President f. S. Bernard
~ new head of the American
4 4 League, thinks that 1928 will
be base balls greatest year.
The former head of the Cleveland
Americans is here for a few days va
cation after the joint major league
meetings In New York last week. His
prediction is based on the many
changes in management and the IN
terest created by new faces in many
clubs.
Advocating the universal draft, now
discarded by the minor leagues and
the subject of considerable controversy.
he said: Fans and even sport writer's
do not understand the draft ana,
therefore. often get the wrong impress
sion.
The right of a ball player to adj
vance in his profession and secure ade-
quate compensation is one of the cor
ner stones of organized base ball and
should always remain as such.
"At the present time, with the modi-
fed draft. there are leagues that do
not permit the right of selection. and
that halts the advance of a player. l
believe that when the magnates meet
together to talk over the draft all
leagues will submit to the universal
draft. which gives them higher price
for the drafted players besides giving
the players the right to advance them
selves by being selected for the major
leagues"
The minor leagues have until Feb
ruary / to inform the major leagues
whether the draft principle will be
discarded entirely. An ultimatum to
that effect was delivered to the minor
leagues at the close Of the joint major
session.
