800 Forego Months Leave
Due to Travelling Expenses;
1000 Back from Sea Cruise

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Aug. 26-The
period of depression was strongly
reflected today with the return of
nearly 1000 midshipmen from
their annual summer training
cruise, in that practically half of
the number elected to sacrifice the
customary months vacation to visit
their homes, the high cost of travel
and other incidentals being the
principal cause, -
800 to Idle Month
About three hundred, after brief
shore liberty returned to the bat
tleships Arkansas and wyoming
that conveyed them abroad, and
will pass the next month cruising
with o detachment Of the Navy Re.
serve force. The group petitiOned
the Navy Department for perSnis-
sion to do this. The two ships win
cruise to NOva Scotia and the
Middies will be granted liberty ut
ports to be touched.
Some 400 others Of the embryo
naval officers will make their
headquarters at Annapolis and de
vote the major portion Of time
making up delinquencies that oc-
Cured during the last term.
While the foreign cruise had It's
pleasures from a general angle,
most Of the middies were not
pleased at the rigid restrictions
under which they were placed
during visits to ports In northern
Europe. They say that instead Of
go as you please furloughS. they
were constantly under surveillance
Of executive officers, detailed es-
pecially for that purpose.
Term Opens Next Month
Only plebes now remain at the
Naval Academy. They viii not
go on leave until Christmas.
Members Of the football squad
who left on vacations three weeks
ago will report for training the

Jury is being selected today to
hear the case Of Mrs. Jeston
Allen Jones, charged with the
murder of her. husband, j. VIII
Jones, well-to-do dairym an Of this
place. Judge Edwin p. Cox is
presiding at the trial. and selec-
ton Of the second Jury was ex-
pected to require most Of the day.
The original Jury was dis
charged after Juror e. q. Cody
was, permitted to leave on nc.
count Of the sudden death Of his
father, and the illness of his wife
from an insect bite. The first
jury heard most Of the Common
wealth's evidence before II was
disbanded last night.
Sheriff w. J. Elam had testi'
fled that Porter Jones, 18, son Of
the dead man, owned the gun
: which killed his father, and that
the youth had a fist fight with
his father three days before the
elder man was found shot dead
in his bed.
Suspected Porter
The sheriff, one of the leading
commonwealth witnesses, was
questioned late yesterday II he
had interrogated Mrs. Jones
about the death Of her husband.
The sheriff said:
"She told me she thought he
had killed himself"
The commonwealth attorney,
George Keiph, inquired:
"WhO else did you suspect?"
'T suspected Porter"

that Porter was implicated?"
eat one time I did"
Sheriff Elan did not disclose
the evidence.

When Porter Jones' name was
brought into the case the list
of suspects was brought up to

trial was declared last night the

SCHOOLS FEEL
BUDGET CUTS
MISS TIGHE

(COntinued from Local P0ge)
an effort was made to include in
the budget as much Of the cost
Of these improvements as pos
sible. However, the estimate was
pared and only essentials were
included and this has continued
through the present fiscal year.
The manner in which the
appropriations differ from the
school boards estimate Of needs
can best be illustrated by figures.
In 1927 the $55O,OO0 estimate
was granted. In 1928 the esti-
mate was $1,O95,54O, but the
appropriation was only $550.00O.
In 1929 the estimate was ST..
122,527, the appropriation $685.
610.
The next year the board asked
for $94S,623 and Congress appro,
priated $450,000.
Estimated needs in 1881 total
ed $685., 900 and this figure was
pared to $475,000.
In the 1892 appropriation bill,
the one the schools are now op'
Grating on, Congress gave the
schools $4,000 for the work in
the face of a request Of $52S, 900.
Estimates Inclusive
However, since July /, 1928
Congress has been giving the
schools 100000 additional an.
nualIy for the improvement Of
grounds, which to some degree
takes care Of some Of the recon-
mendatiOns of the health officer.
Prior to that the improvement Of
grounds was included in the ap-
priatiOn for upkeep and physical
improvement Of the buildings.
