Other Midshipmen's Fate in Balance.
The fate of several other midship-
men who sat at table with the girls
and who have been under technical
arrest and confined to their rooms has
not been made known. They are charged
with a class A offense in not reporting
the incident to their superiors.
Through long line of authority,
naval officers pointed out today, went
the recommendation for the expulsion
of the two middies, starting with Capt.
C. T. Snyder, commandant of mid
shipmen, backed in his recommendation
by Rear Admiral S. S. Robson, super
intendent of the academy, backed
further by Secretary of the Navy
Charles Francis Adams, and finally up
held by the President of the United
States.
These men, 1t is pointed out in naval
circles, all are capable of recognizing a
prank when they see one, and would
have been only too glad to regard the
middies' prank as just that had 1t not
involved possible decentralization Of
discipline at the academy. That dis
cipline, the backbone OF the training
at Annapolis, they declare, must be
maintained.
Notice of the Presidents action was
received at the Academy this morning.
The two midshipmen were notified and
after the details of leaving the service
were completed the pair was released
from the Academy. Both boys planned
to return to their homes Immediately,
officials of the Academy stated.

at Fourteenth and u streets, one of the
busiest intersections In the city. Traff1c

tons until 8:18 O'Clock. In each case
the delay was due to an accident that
befell Potomac Park car

car was passing Eleventh street. Work
men succeeded in getting the car off

of the others back on schedule before
the peak of the rush hour.
The cars were we'll filled with workers,
most of whom had to forsake their 10
cent rides for the sidewalks or cruising
taxis that did a landslide business
during the period of the tie-up. West
bound cars lined up behind the break
down from Eleventh street to the
Capitol and automobile traffic was de-
lsyed. although intersections were kept
clear

front trucks of the damaged car and
let them down on small set of sub
stitute wheels. The car was then towed

and pulled its pillow while turning out
of U street to go south on Fourteenth
street. This was at 7:46 o'clock, Just
when the early-rush traffic is at its
peak. Another gang of repairmen was
rushed to the scene and 1t was fully
half an hour before the car was righted
and traffic permitted to continue

AGAINST LAYNE IN
DEN|SON DRY CASE
Rover Declares Former Sec

ACCUSATION RESULTED
FROM LEAKING TRUNK
Demurrer to Indictment Recently
Upheld by Justice Peyton Cor

after a thorough investigation. has
reached the conclusion to enter a nolle
pros to the indictment returned against
John Layns. a former secretary of Rem

ton agents had reported the finding of
a trunk containing liquor in the Office

been shipped with the trunk, led to the
visit to the House Office Building.
Assistant United States Attorney
Walter M. Shea called the matter to
the attention of Justice Peyton Cor
don, who directed the dropping of the
charge. The prosecutor had noted an
appeal from the action of Justice Cor
don some weeks ago in sustaining a
demurrer filed by Attorney Everett
Sanders on behalf of Representative
Denison to the indictment as to Deni-
son, and is awaiting instructions from
the Department of Justice before filing
the case in the Court of Appeals.
Justice Gordon's opinion held that
the indictment failed to meet the con-
stttutional requirement to advise the ac-

YEGGS STRIP JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT MANS CAR
Articles Valued at $500 Stolen
From Garage, Manford Liv-
ingston Reports.

The fact that Manford Livingston is
affiliated with one of the greatest in
Vestigating forces in the world meant
nothing to the yeggmen who broke into
the garage OF the Department of Justice
agent at 1922 B street southeast.
Livingston reported to police head
quarters last night that his machine
had been stripped of five wheels, five
tires and tubes, storage battery, the
distributor head, tail and stop lights,
horn and tools while sitting in the
garage. The articles were valued at 1920.
1t is believed that a gang of profess
sional automobile thieves entered the
garage with the intention of making off
with the machine, but were baked in
their efforts to start the motor and
stripped" it instead
Police discarded the theory that some
one probably affected by Livingston's
work as Department of Justice agent
stole the car parts as spite" work.
