C. THURSDAY, WILBUR ADDRESSES NAVAL GRADUATES Activities of Officers Pointed Out in Exercises at Annapolis. ial Dispateh. to The Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md., June 2.—In a speech to the 1927 graduates of the Naval Academy here today Secretary of the Navy Wilbur warned the 533 men of the many States of the Na- tion who received diplomas and com missions as ensigns that the know- iedge they have acquired is but the Ioundation of their life work. The graduating exercises, which began at 10:30 a.m., marked the cli- max of June week, which has been filled with many activities by the students. Rear Admiral L. M. Nul ton, superintendent of the academy, made the opening address. pointing to the glorious record of the institu- tion and its struggles since 1845, when it was established> He told of the strength of the Navy today and what the Government expected and had re- ceived from its trained officers. Activities of Officers. Emphasizing _that the activities n‘ilhir?hlha naval profession include not only communications, gunnery, navigation, naval construction, avia- tion, law, engineering and other arts, but diplomacy and government as well, Secretary Wilbur said: “A naval officer, Admiral Bristol, is just returning from a long term of service as a diplomat at Constanti- nople. Others are returning from the conference at (ieneva for the limita- tion of armament. Others will soon depart for the conference between England, Japan and Amerfca at Geneva, where the relative naval pow- ers of these nations will be considered. “The naval misslons to Brazil and Peruy, where our officers are co-operat. ing with these nations in the upbuild- ing of their Navy, illustrate the im- portance of the naval office in the maintenance of friendly relations be- tween nations.” As to whether the Naval Academy is performing its mission, Supt. Nulton said in part: “The studemt body is a cross sec- tion of this country, and in this re- spect more intrinsically national in its characteristics than any other insti- tution except its sister academy of West Point. Its student personnel runs the entire range from those who have had every opportunity and ad- vantage to those who have been most limited in this respect. The academy and the service itself care little for any of these except the intrinsic value of the man himself, as it is upon this individual - characteristic alone that his capacity for leadership is de- pendent. “The superintendent is frequently called upon to make decisions in cases where midshipmen have received an excessive number of demerits, based on reports, for small offenses when the total of these has exceeded the number allowed and the midshipmen concerned have been found unsatis- factory and disciplinary action neces- sary. It has always been the plea that these are small things and should not be considered. Attention is called |to the fact that a steady repetition of small offenses throughout an en- tire course is positive evidence of irre- sponsibility and " unreliability, even though the moral character of the midshipman concerned may be good and his personality may be pleasing. One may like him, but one knows he cannot be depended upon.” 16 FROM CAPITAL. | | | | | sn Commissions Follow Graduation at Naval Academy. v Sixteen Washington boys were graduated from the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis today and received commissions as ensigns in the Nav They are: George B.

With the wide open spaces of George Washington’s magisterial district as the ‘“‘courtroom” and with curious “natives” and passing motorists as spectators, Dr. Ashby Frankland, United States Public Health Service surgeon, had his second day in Faire fax County's roadside traffic court yes- terday, but, as before, made little headway with his case. Supported this time by another Judge and a specially appointed com- monwealth’s attorney, Justice of the Peace Frank W. Troth, venerable magistrate of the hills of Mount Ver non, overruled a motion to dismiss Dr. Frankland’s_warrant on grounds of {llegality and continued the trial until next Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock The Health Service ' official s charged with violating Virginia’s mo- tor vehicle statutes by failing to ob- tain the State's license plates for his automobile. He is fighting the charge on the ground of being a resi- dent of this city, although his wife has rented a cottage near Fort Humphreys. Underwood Gets Tags. Former Senator Oscar W. Under- wood of Woodlawn, Va., for whom Judge Troth issued a warrant on a similar charge, has since obtained Vir., ginia tags for his cars, the court un- derstood yesterday. Consequently he will not have to appear before the white-haired magistrate. Dr. Frankland's trial was continued for several reasons. In the first place, only two of the three judges demanded by the defendant's attorney, Robert W. Stump, put in an appearance. They were Judge Troth and Judge George C. Stuart. The third one, Judge George K, Pickett, had pressing business elsewhere, it was said. In the second place the special at- torney for the Commonwealth and ad- viser extraordinary to the court, for- mer Judge Robinson Moncure of Alex- andria, announced that the Common- wealth must have more time to secure witnesses in its behalf. Who these witnesses are remains a secret, but Dr. Frankland let it be known that he thought the State had had plenty of time already to prepare its casa. “Housing” Problem Service. Continuance of the case presented a serfous housing problem to the court. Its first session was held in Louis Gib- son's “pop” and “hot dag" establish- ment, at the junction of the Mount Vernon and Richmond Highways, but the notoriety given the preliminary hearing cooled Mr. Gibson's hospitality and for yesterday's session another courtroom had to be selected. “Let’s use that abandoned lunch- room across the rcad,” one of the Justices suggested, pointing at a dilap- idated frame structure directly oppo- site. “No, sirree!” responded Attorney Stump, with emphasis. “I'm afraid it LIBERAL TAX CUT PREDICTED BY EDGE Opposed to Large Surpluses, Senator Says, After Talk With President. Senator Edge of New Jersey, mem- ber of the Senate finance committee, who discussed tax-reduction legisla- tion and a variety of other subjects with President Coolidge today, said he is opposed to large surpluses being carried in the Treasury, because they aze too inviting of congressional ex- periments. He believes that a sur- plus of a reasonably safa size should be kept .and all_in excess of that should be turned bac kto the taxpay- ers of the country. 7 The New Jersey Senator feels satis- fled that there will be a liberal reduc- tion in taxes during the next session of Congress, but he said he thought it was too early to make any predic- tions as to the probably total amount. He added that he is hopeful that Con- gress will be ablo to make a slash of at least $300,000,000, basing his hopes on the present income of the Govern- ment. He pointed out that if the rule which has held good in th> past will continue—that & lowering of surtaxes means an increase in actual receipts— then Congress should make a greater reduction in the sghedule of this tax. He belleves that the corporation taxes should be lowered and that nuisance and inheritance taxes should be abolished. Senator Edge expects the wet-dry come before Congress in a :s:r‘lx:u;omflnner. He said he will con- tinue his advocacy of modification of enforcement. He will introduce a bill along the lines of the resolution adbpted by _the American Medical Association during its recent.conven- tion here calling for the elimination of all restrictions regarding physl- clans’ prescriptions of so-called intox- ing liquors. kmlgre:g‘de?‘lt Coolidge was told by Sen- ator Edge that he was opposed to the Gpecial session of Congress because he believed that such a session would not be helpful until practical plans to assist in flood control are ready for ission to Congress. sull:l‘: added that nothing would be gained for the flood sufferers through the political flood debates, as he de- scribed them, which, he said, nec- essarily feature an extra sion. So far as actual need of money in the flood area is concerned, his informa- tion is that through the Red Cross and assured banking aid every as- sistance Congress could give in that direction will be taken care of. New Jersey is strong for President Coolidge for another term, Senator said, explaining “that the Re- publican State committee already has indorsed him. He added that vari- ous Republican county committees -in the State have taken similar action. might cave In. We can do business vight here beside the road. I've got a motion to make, and it won't take long to hear it.” Perches Himself on Rail. And so, perching himself on a guard rail, while the others stood around him, Judge Troth opened the case. But the problem of where to hold court next Wednesday remained to he solved. Heaven’s canopy was all right vesterday, while the sun was beaming over the verdant Virginia slopes, but it might be raining a week hence. Mr. Moncure came to the rescue by pro- posing Pullman's store, on the Tele- graph road, about 13 miles from Alexandria. Agreement was mutual. Judge Troth's customary freedom of speech, which led him at the pre- vious hearing to announce in advance he had made up his mind to convict Dr. Frankland, regardless of the de- fense, was considerably circumsecribed vesterday by warnings from the Com- monwealth’s attorney. “Judge, Just Wait a Minute.” Nearly every time the judge started to say anything Attorney Moncure raised a threatening hand and broke in with: “Now, judge, just a minute. I don’t think you better say anything right now."” “But I just want to tell Dr. Frank- land something,” Judge Troth at one juncture protested. “It won’ take five minutes.” “Judge, take my advice and don't say it. This case is going to trial, and T don't think you ought to con- verse with the defendant about it,” Moncure replied with a tone of finality. _The judge submitted to the admoni- tion with apparent reluctance. dJudges Retire to “Chambers.” Attorney Stump’s contention that the warrant was lllegal was based on the fact that it was “not sworn to by anybody.” Moncure replied that it was a “John e” warrant, such as have been issued since times of British common law, and it didn't need swearing to. Stump held to his objection that the paper was illegal, John Doe or no John Doe. The two judges then retired to ‘‘chambers” by stepping a few feet from the circle of participants and spectators and re- turned a moment or two later with the announcement that the warrant was legal. “I've been issuing warrants like this right along,” Judge TFoth ex- plained. “And I've been fining 'em right along on warrants like this. I've never had any trouble before about my warrants. I hold it's legal.” ‘With the fixing of the time and place for the next meeting of court, the judges retired and the little group of spectators in overalls, tourist cos. tume, city dress and other varieties of clothes broke up and went their wi PROBE OF ENSIGN'S DEATH IS SECRET Second Inquiry of McShane Case in Session, but Civil ians Are Barred. By the Associated Press. SFAN PEDRO, Calif., June 2.—Se- crecy today cloaked the secend naval board of inquiry into the mysterious death of Ensign Jullan J. McShane, whose body was found floating in the ‘Wilmington harbor last October a few days after he had disappeared follow- ing a party at the California Yacht Club. Other than admitting that the court of inquiry was in session, officers aboard the United States steamship Tennessee, which arrived here yes- terday, refused to give out any infor- mation regarding the case. They de- clared the inquiry was closed to the public and that there was no indica- tion that it would be opened at any time while it is in session. Attorneys representing Mrs. Maria McShane of Ellicott City, Md., mother of the dead officer, were the only civil- ians apparently allowed before the board of inquiry. The second inquiry of the ensign’s death was ordered by Secretary of the Navy Wilbur at the behest of Mrs. McShane, who was not satisfied with the report of the first board of inquiry that McShane was drowned when he fell from the pier by accident. Evidence gathered by her attorneys and detectives hired by them was said to .indicate her son may have been a victim of foul play. Indications were that the inquiry will last several days, a number of civilian witnesses, including Detective Lieuts. Willlamson .and Evans of the San Pedro *police, have been summoned. The police-were said to have been un- satisfied with the conclusion of naval investigators in the case. APPEALS CAFE RULING. Le Paradis Building Owner Seeks Injunction Removal.

OTTAWA, Ontario, June 2.—Wil- liam Phillips, first United States minister accredited to Canada, for- mally presented his credentials to Gov. Gen. Viscount Willingdon yes- terday. Mr. Phillips said in part: “My government seeks, in the es- tablishment of my mission, to strength- en the cordial sentiments which have ever animated the people of Canada and the United States, con- fident that their association in every- thing that touches peaceful and or- derly progress will bring new ben- efits to both. It will be my constant effort to assist in the achievement of this purpose and to interpret the teelings of friendship and admiration toward the British Empire, of which the dominion is so distinguished a part.” Will Urge Legation. Mr. Phillips, meeting mnewspaper men today, said that the St. Law- rence waterways project would un- doubtedly be one of the major ques- tions that would engage his atten- tion when the legation opens official- Iy on July 1. As to the immigration situation at the border, he said, don't think I can comment on that, as I am not fully in touch with the situation yet.” Discussing the possibility of the building of a legation in Ottawa by the American Government, Mr. Phi lips explained that a building commi MONTGOMERY ROAD SCHEDULE: DECIDED County- Commissioners Plan $800,000 Expenditure Un- der New Legislation.

ROCKVILLE, Md., June 2.—The county commissioners have decided upon a road construction schedule from the proceeds of the $800,000-bond issue authorized by the last session of the General Assembly, from State construction funds allocated to the county and from other moneys at the disposal of the board. The program for the Summer in- cludes 2 miles from Poolesville to- ward Martinsburg; 2 miles from Lay- tonsville toward Damascus on the Etchison route; 1 mile from the end of the present construction from Damascus to Purdum in the direction of Lewisdale; 1 mile from Brookeville north toward Sunshine; 11-3 miles from Buck Lodge to Boyds Station; 1% miles from Barnesville to Comus, and 1 mile from the end of the pres- ent construction from Damascus to- ward Browningsville. All of these sections will be concrete, 15 feet wide, and constructed according to State specifications. Work for 1928-29. For the years 1928 and 1929, subject, however, to possible reconsideration by the board and future determina- tion of width and types of roads, the program is as follows: Three and one-third mile sections in the vi- cinity of Germantown and Old Germantown; two miles from the end of the existing construction slon of Congress had charge of these s om Darnestown toward :eneca; one matters. “It will be my agreeable duty to try to prevail upon that commission to build a legation here—as we should of course.

Mr. Massey (Vincent Massey, Canadian Minister to the United States showed me ‘all over it while I was in Wash- ington.” Nothing, he said, would give him greater pleasure than to have some similar building in Ottawa for the American legation.

By the Associated Press. BOSTON, June 2.—The {interna- tionally celebrated case of Nicola Sac- co and Bartolomeo Vanzett! swung onto new ground today with the ap- pointment by Gov. Alvan T. Fuller of a commission to aid him in his review of the long litigation surrounding the conviction and sentence to death of the admitted radicals as slayer: A. Lawrence Lowell, president of Harvard University; Robert Grant, formerly a judge of the Probate Court and a novelist, and Samuel W. Stratton, president of the Massachu- setts Institute of Technology, com= prise the advisory committee. They will sit independently of the governor, who for several wewks has devoted a large part of his time to his own review of the proceedings. First Hint of Course. Gov. Fuller's announcement was his first intimation of his method of han- dling the case since he first undertook consideration of the evidence on the plea of Vanzetti, who, in a 10,000-word petition on behalf of himself and Sacco, called for “justice” amnd ex- oneration. Both are under sentence to die duf- ing the week of July 10 for the mur- der of a South Braintree paymaster ;Igg his guard more than seven years Since their conviction in 1921 until they were sentenced to death last April, after the Supreme Court had twice dismissed appeals for a new trial, a defense committes which raised hundreds of thousands of dol- lar!lldhu kept their case before the world. Deluged With Advice. Gov. Fuller has been deluged with thousands of communications repre- senting all shades of opinion and gratuitous advice has poured in upon him from many parts of the globe. The defense has consistently main. tained that because of their admit- tedly radical affiliations, the convicted men did not receive a fair trial. Web- ster Thayer, trial judge, was made the subject of charges of bias in six af- davits from newspaper reporters and others at the time of the Vanzetti pe- tition. Because of the shortness of time between the appointment of the ad- visory committee, which must con- sider a mountainous mass of evidence, and the date set for the executions, there were suggestions today that the governor might defer the date.
