Richmond Pearson Hobson had to wait nearly
IS years for the official recognition of his deed
and when 1t finally came, the newspapers, which
had once emblazoned his name in streaming
headlines, recorded the award of the medal Of
honor in a news story of only a few brief para
graphs.
Hobson was born at Greensboro, Ala, August
II, 1870. Educated In the Greensboro public
schools and In the Southern university, he be-
came interested in the navy during a visit to
New Orleans and won an appointment to the
United States Naval academy at Annapolis,
from which he was graduated In 1889. In the
academy he had devoted himself to naval con-
struction and In 1891 he was made an assist
ant naval constructor with the rank of lieuten-
ant, which he held at the outbreak of the Span
ish-American war.
Just before Dewey's memorable victory at
Manila bay in the Philippines a Spanish fleet
consisting of four armored cruisers and three
torpedo-boat destroyers, led by Admiral Cervera,
left the Cape Verde islands for Cuban waters.
Cervera succeeded In eluding the "Flying Squad
ron" of the United States navy, commanded by
Commodore Schley, which had set out to find
the enemy, and entered the harbor of Santiago
in safety. Schey followed him to Santiago and
established a blockade of the enemy feet while
awaiting the arrival of Captain Sampson, acting
rear admiral and commander In chief of our ma
val forces, who was ~hurrying to Santiago with a
feet led by his flagship. the New York.
The story of how Hobson got his chance for
fame is told by John r. Spears In his "History
of Our Navy" as follows:
"After reaching Santiago and taking one look
at the narrow entrance to the harbor the pos
sibility Of sinking a ship there to effectually
close 1t, and so prevent Cervera's exit, was ap-
parent to many Of the officers of the squadron.
Sampson. knowing the width of the channel, had
considered the plan of sinking a ship In 1t and
In a dispatch dated May q had ordered Schley
to sink the collier Sterling there, but Schley
ignored the order. On the very day he reached
Santiago, Sampson began to carry out the plan.
There was the MerrImac. She had been sold
to the government at a price twice her value.
She was a bad ship-she could serve the ma
ton much better In blocking the channel than
In any other way, and preparations to sink her
into the channel were Immediately begun. At
the earnest request of Mr.. Richmond Pearson

Vampire Bat" an independent pro-
duction, showing at the Columbia
Theater Replete with all the en-
bellishments necessary for thrills
baying hounds, screams, inexplicable
hooded and prowling figures, bats
and the hke-it makes no attempt
to explain just where the vampire
element enters nor why the sup
posed vampire goes against all tradi-
ton and becomes unvampiriSh.
Lionel Atwill, the Doctor x. Y,
or z of previous films keeps right
on being the excellent Doctor that
his followers expect of him and
Fay Wray, probably the screens
most capable actress Of fear, has
a weak opportunity to display that
emotion in this more scientific than
vampire-like film. Both Mr.. Atwill's
and Miss Wray's talents deserve .
more fitting vehicle.
Unlike the others, "The Vampire
Bat" combines the laboratory of a
scientist with the ghoulish and
supernatural art of the vampire and
relies great deal for its thrill on
rather sickening scenes of blood.
There is also comedy in the shape
of Maude Eburne, chronic medicine
taker, who gets chased by large dogs
and falls into fainting fits trying to
nurse the pitiful idiot who has cut
his finger. Melvin Douglas is the
doubling young detective who melo-
dramatically solves the mysterious
deaths apparently caused by the
vampire and marries the beautiful
Fay Wray. George e. Stone, the

better roles than he had here, and

perhaps trihe more hilarity than they
have shown in 13 years. the Princeton
seniors donned the 1888 model beer
suits for the first time last night and
proceeded to make use of them.
The suits, Princeton tradition since
1912, are made Of white duck and con-
sist of coat and overalls. They were
originally designed to protect the usual
garments the graduating class wore
from beer stains.
The first year prohibition went into
effect the students added touch of
mourning to the attire by wearing black
arm bands, which, however, they dis
carded in subsequent years.
Before the students, attired in their
white canvas suits, left the campus last
night, they were reminded of the uni
versity regulations against drunkenness
and also told to bring no beer back with
them.
Most of the students headed for his.
toric Nassau Inn, scene of many a mem

dent Garner while standing beside
their desks with right hands raised.
The procedure today was only to re-
ceive Louderback's plea.
Louderback's written reply to the
impeachment articles was presented by
Hanley, his counsel and read to the
Senate by its reading clerk. It took
up the five articles of impeachment,
one by one, in turn.
Loudcrback held the court "ought not

It specifically contended that he had
discharged Addison G. Strong, whom he
had appointed as receiver and at
tempted to force and coerce" Strong
to appoint certain attorney.
Louderback agreed he had appointed
Strong and revoked the order, but de-
nicd he had attempted to dictate the
counsel he should employ or acted will
fully in the case. He denied attempt

an original story for her.
That Is all Miss Pickford wants
to do at present!
This sudden burst of energy on the
part of Hollywoods favorite person.
ality is tribute to her energy and
her industry-and to the fact that
she wishes to wind up her career in
q burst of glory. While other screen
ladies are devoting their talents to
being beaten and tortured and to
behaving themselves the way only
screen ladies can when they love not
wisely and much too well (Which Is
usually the case), Miss Pickford
smiles at the world and decides to
keep on the primrose path and to
say farewell to her one-time "Kiki"
roles.
Miss Pickford Is, Of course, the
Peter Pan of the screen world She
is still as slim and as trim as she
has always been-and her smile is
quite as pleasant and her hair quite
as gold. and those who have seen
Secrets" say that she is quite as
radiant and quite as pretty as she
was in her Pollyanna days. But,
should she attempt Mr. Barrie's i'm
mortal Mr.. Pan? And should she,
as she says, do highly imagina-
tive treatment of it?"
As we remember, the Barrie story
is fairly imaginative as it stands.
We believe there Is little that the
film world could do to make it more
so. Even Miss Pickford, as small
and elfln-like as she is, would have
a hard time convincing us that she
could treat it in any way that would
be an Improvement on the Maude
Adams method, or the similar
method used by Eva LeGallienne,
Edna Best and other London Peter
Pans.
We have infinite respect for Miss
Pickford. We believe her to be the
finest and the best that HOLLYWOOD
has We believe that her instincts
are all to the good and that she
has given more to the screen than
probably any other woman in a
single lifetime. But-we do not be-
lleve that she should do a talking
version of Peter Pan.
Others who should not do Peter
Pan are Greta Garbo, Marlene Diet
rich Clara Bow, Katherine Hepburn,
Estelle Taylor, Una Merkel, Con-
stance Bennett, Marie Dressler, Ann
Harding, Zazu Pitts, Karen Morley,
Joan Crawford, Tallulah Bankhead,
Gloria Swanson and Marion Davies.
That leaves who? Practically no
one. That is the way it should be-
and the way it has always been. II
Mr.. Barrie's little hero were a Sadie
Thompson it would be quite differ
ent. The screen is full to the brim
Of bright and talented ladies (wit-
ness Miss Crawford) who like to
turn the corners of their mouths
down and shuttle around being beast
full and bad. But when it comes to
Peter Pan-the air Is thin and
dry. That was why, if you re-
member, in the silent days, Betty
Bronson won her spurs. She was
small, and wistful and birdlike-
and she had never done a "Kiki" on
the screen.
A fresh personality or a great per-
sonality (such as Maude Adams
has) is needed for this role We
cannot think OF any one who could
do 1t for the screen right now
except possibly Fraulein Hertha
Thiele. the young "Maedchen in Uni
form" lady, who, if she learned
Kensington Garden English, might
