ANNAPOLIS STORY
Did Not Call Academy Worst
School in World, He
? Tells Press.
Arstha A.soci afed Press.

1r4the Associated Press.
PROVIDENCE, r. L.. January b.
IT am sorry indeed that my friends in
the Navy have apparently been misled
by exaggerated and mistaken accounts
of what 1 have been reported to have
said concerning the naval school," de.
clared Admiral w. s. Sims in state
ment to the Evening Bulletin today,
commenting upon statements by naval
authorities as a result of published &C.
counts of remarks made by him at the
Discussion Club at Newport Wednes-
day evening.
lie was reported to have termed the
United States Naval Academy, at
Annapolis, "the worst school in the
world"
THE statement L made before the
Discussion Club at Newport" he con-
tinued. concerning the merits Of the
Naval Academy referred to the de-
fectS that are common to so many
technical schools; that is. that such a
large proportion of time is devoted to
the details Of technical instruction
that there is necessarily insufficient
time for educational studies such as
are included in a four years college
course
Il did not state that college eradu-
ates serving the navy in the war
made better officers than academy
graduates. but as L said in my book
The Victory at Sea- ] stated that
their college training shows up to
such advantage that better results
would be achieved If Naval Academy
cadets were selected by competitive
examinations from the graduates Cf
colleges.
II did say that the academy
specialized in making technical ravaI
officers, but did not say that they
failed to accomplish this. But simply
that necessarily they did this at the
expense Of general education"

dietary committee for an opinion on
the pocket veto powers of the Presi.
dent.
specifically. the committee was re-
quested to determine whether a bill
sent to the President just prior to the
recess between the first and second
sessions of a Congress becomes a. law
If the President fails to either sign or
veto the measure.
A resolution by Representative Nc
keown, Democrat, Oklahoma. re-
questing an opinion on this point was
adopted. The bill questioned by Nc
Keown would authorize carrying out

the Shawnee Indians. He said the
President had not acted. either way
on the measure.

DIVORCE TESTIMONY
Is KEPT FROM PRESS
New British Law Prohibits Pub
LEGATION of Domestic
LIES Woes.

BY the Associated Press
LONDON, January 15.--British di-
vorce courts aren't putting up the
melodramatic shows they once did.
Tha English 'sob-sisters'' and their.
reportorial ''sob-brothers" are finding
o dreary waste in the 6O0-odd cases
that are schedled for hearing within
the next six months-all because of
the new law forbidding the publica-
ton of testimony at divorce trials.
The divorce courts are becoming
"dly-as-dust" places. The barristers
no longer make imprisoned appeals
with an eye to the gallery and the
crowds Of giggling spectators have
fallen off appreciably.
The 600 cases now on the calendar
include many involving well known
names and in the old days would have
been given unlimited space in the
newspapers, especially in some of the
weekly. papers which specialize in
scandals and sensations.

NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, July 14.-Inspirei
by a sharp rally in Liverpool cables,
reports of less favorable weather
conditions in the cotton belt and
publication of fairly bullish cotton
consumption report by the Govern
ment, increased speculative and
trade buying appeared in the cotton
market here today, and the list dis
played a buoyant undertone.
Business was slow during the
first hour, with the greater portion
of transactions representing eve
ming up operations by the local pro-
fessional elemnet in preparation for
the report. Upon issuance of the
consumption figures, however, buy
ing was INDUCED in freely by all
quarters, thsi carrying all active
positions moderately higher and into
new high seasonal territory.
The report stated that running
bales of lint cotton consumed in
domestic mills in June totaled 662.-
$50 as against 633,024 in May and
51S.607 in June, of last year. Con-
sumption for II months of the sea-
son. az of June 80, amounted to
6,633.474 bales. which contrasts with
5.994, 109 bales consumed in the
same period a. year ago.
Weather reports from the cotton
belt told of showers in the Eastern
portion and undesired rainfall in
parts of Texas and Oklahoma.
Noon prices were Octobre, 1892

Have you seen Forester today?"
she asked.

Il don't know why he doesn't

Il told him to be here for lunch. 1

I'll stay as long as you want me

at the wandering of this unusually
clear and decisive mind.
Presently, after some half distinct
mutterings about Forester, Mrs.
Maltby fell into light sleep.
Can 1 go out and telephone a
minute?" Joyce asked the nurse in
a whisper.
yes. She will probably sleep for
an hour or so. I'll call you when
she wakes. You seem to have a
quoting effect on her."
Joyce unclasped the hand that
held hers lightly and tip-toed out in
to the hall. Judge Perkins was es-
tablished in a deep chair in the Sec
ond floor sitting room.
"How do you think she is?" he
asked eagerly, trusting joys word
more than that of the doctors.
Il don't know" said Joyce slowly
ut is very sad. She doesn't know
me, but the nurse said she was
quieter when 1 was in there. She
is asleep now and the nurse said
she would call me when Mrs. Malt
by wakes. I'm going to telephone
a friend of mine. He usually calls
me up late at night from his office
and he might get worried if he
couldn't get an answer at my apart
ment."
Judge Perkins thought her blush
at these last words very becoming
and he watched her with indulgent
eyes as she called the night mum.

'Deke?" she asked presently.
Joy! How sweet Of you to call
me. I've been watching the clock

I'm not at the apartment" Joyce
told him.
Where are you? Are you all
right?' came the quick responce.
Yes, I'm all right, but, oh, Deke,
poor Mrs. Maltby has a very bad
case of pneumonia. They don't think
she will live, and Judge Perkins

for me. She looks so sick and, oh,
Deke, it makes me want to cry"
Are you going to stay out there

inquired.

Can I drive out and see you for

| The butler had come in to announce
Deke's arrival.
Joyce ran down the stairs to find
Deke, lines of WEAKNESS in his face,
lening against the marble mantle of
the drawing room. He turned and
smiled at the sight of her.
You're a treat for tired eyes," he
said.
"Oh, Deke, how tired you loolI"
II am" he said, YEARLY. I'm in

Mother writes that father is i'm

What do you hear from your

Joyce said sadly. And 1 have heard

Everything looks gloomy, Ell

She nodded. A terrible feeling of
