Mr. and Mrs. Itamble were aided

Verdict en Post Pest
Game Celebration
Say Sufficient Precau
tions Were Taken
and if They Weren't
They Will Be
The Middles' "high jinks" after the
memorable Army-Navy game nt Fiank
lin Field were regrettable if they oc
curred. That is tlie net result if the very
solemn investigation ordered by Secre
tary Denby after he had seen "or heard
nbeut nntlcs which he called "the
most llagraut, as far as I knew, that
have eer been churned iiL-nhist. the
Academy."
If Secretary D'enby is right and hU
Investigating beard, which has just tiled
ifs findings, is right, then the Jav.il
Academy's conduct in the past has been
something mere than angelic-.
Fer the geld-braided beard, which
held dignified sittings at Annapolis and
heard a great deal of evidence, has just
reported that measures had been taken
te preserve order which In the light of
previous experiem e should have been
sufficient, and if they were net sufTa-ient
"it is te be regretted if the steps taken
did net meet the lcquircd end."
Which ends the incident, apparently.
It is surmised that certain knowing
gentlemen ih New Yerk will find much
dissatisfaction with tlie beard's find
ings. New Yerk wants the Army-Navy
game, and had it for some jeurs be-
ause the old Franklin Field stands
weie net lnrge enough te held the mul
titudes who wished te see the game.
With l'enn's new stadium tlie advan
tage In seating capacity is new with
Philadelphia. And Midshipmen and
"West Pointers weie tinanimeuslj- agreed
this season that Philadelphia liad New
Yetk backed off the map in ccry ether
way.
The report that some of the Navy
men had, te exptess It Imdlv. taken
tee much te drink nt tlie Navy ball
which followed the gnme, first appeared
in the New Yerk papers.
Hut the facts seem te support the
Middies' contention that it was u geed

cadcls merely were en parade.

President Nnrutewlcss took ever the

The opposition te the choice of M.

ists, representing the purely Polish
population, the members of this party
resenting the election of n man who,
they declared, represented the non-Polish

alist Deputies, after the election, an
nounced officially that they would re

votes, while 227 Polish votes were cast

of strength in the Senate en the Ad

sight today, when opponents of tlie

place it with the Norris bill te ciente u

The move te cull up the Norris bill,

charge of tlie shippin- bill, told the
Senate a few dajs age that he was
willing te lay aside the shipping bill
for any agricultural bill having be
hind it "n unanimity of Sennte opin

"And it is well worth while. If

The jury which will decide the
fate of Mrs. Deris Urunen and her

"Honest Jehn" Hruncn, circus owner,
went tedny (e Riverside. N. J., and re

They spent nn hour in nnd nbeut

his home, rending a newspaper.
The jurors reconstructed the events
of the tragic night fiem the narrative
of Cluules M. Powell, the confessed
murderer, who accuses Mehr of having
plotted and urged the crime.
They pulled down the kitchen win

Then they spent some time examin

The jurors also looked nt tlie gap
