It seems to me that the court, in order to protect the wit- nesses and in order to protect itself, will take some step to prevent that sort of thing going on.” Letter to Superintendent. ) After considering Mr. Hay's requast | behind closed doors for mnearly an hour, Captain Robert L. Russell, pres- ident, of the: court, announced that he had directed that the following let- ter be sent to ‘the superintendent of ‘the academy: ‘The question has been this court in regard to persons al- ready summoned for appearance as witnesses before the court being seen at the superintendent's office, elthe~ by, 'himself or by his aids, and in- structed as to their status as witnes- ses or possible defendants.

Instructor L. L. R. Forunon, of the department of modern, languages testified that on May 14 he found both doors Jeadinz "to the office of the head .of modern languages locked. He had never known them to be locked before. It wasg from ‘this department that pa- pers, which Midshipman Moss claimed to have received from an anénymous soruce through the mail, are believed by the authorities to have been stolen. Commander C. F. Preston, head of the English department, in reply to a question, said that a week before the last examination a key was missing from his office. 'When asked = what precautions were taken in his depart- ment against ‘gouging’ during exain- inations, Commander. Preston said: ‘“We take it for granted that they won't ‘gouge;’ our whole dependence is placed on them.

The court for vears delayed entering a final judgment in | hopes of an amicable mdjustment of the dispute. ' State Debt of $38,000.000. Before the separation of West Vir- ginia from Virginia, Virginia had a state debt of $33,000,000 incurred mainly as the result of an ambitious scheme to provide canal and slack- water navigation along the courses of the St. James and Kanawna rivers, with the hope of making a navigable waterway from Richmond to the Ohio und Mississippi; an elaborate project of macadamized roads; then of rail- roading. In 1906, the commonwealth of Vir- einia asked and gained the permis- sion of the supreme court to bring a guit before that -tribunal to compel West Virginia to pay ean equitable share of the debt, acting partly, it hag Leen said, at the instance of holders of bonds Virginia had issued to cover the indebtedness. Ratlo of Wealth, In 1911, the supreme court ar- nounced that West Virgmia’'s share of the principal debt should be de- termined by the ratio of tne wealth of the two states. It was fixed at $7,182,507.49. In 1913, Virginia asked for a final judgment, which would include interest on the prin- cipal ‘debt. West ' Virginia then raised a claim ‘to @ share of the as-, sets ‘growing out of tne Investments of the $33,000,000. ' On January 15, 1915, Charles E. Littlefleld, as a special master, reported . that West ‘Virginia ought to be required to pay interest from' January 1, 1861 and thould be entitled to a share of the sssets based on- the ratio of wealth. Tte share was placed at = $2,868,000. Objeétions to the approval of the re- port was flled by both states. Virginia complaining mainly of being 1equired to pay interest, and Vir- ginia about West Virginia sharing the assets and the value placed on these assets.

Slaton Listens to Statements of Solicitor Dorsey and W. M. Howsrd, Counsel for Condemned Man, Atlanta, Ga., June 16.—Testimony for and against Leo M. Frank, pre- sented at his trial and in §ubsequent court proceedings, was reviewed be- fore Governor Slaton yesterday at the hearing on Frank’s application for commutation of his death sentence. When the hearing is @ resumed Wednesday, W. M. Howard will com- plete his argument in behalf fo Frank and the case then finally will be sub- mitted to the governor. o Solicitor Dorsey, in his argument, undertook to convince the governor of Frank's guilt on the testimony of other witnesses than Jim Conley, the negro was.was convicted as an ac- cessory after the murder. Mr. Howard also relied upon the record to show Frank's innocence. He declared the trial of the murderer led from the “murder notes” which were’ found beside the girl's bedy, and which Conley testified he wrote at Frank’s dictation. Howard attacked Conley’'s affidavits and testimony and asserted his story was “a cunming invention of Conley’s own mind, con- ceived to . save his own life and to place the noose of the law around the neck of another.” .

Hartford, June 15.—After servng twenty-three years in the state prison |at Wethersfield for second degree murder, during which time he main- { tained silence for the sake of his wife's reputation, Charles J. Rath- bor. was yesterday pardoned by the . state board of pardons. He was sen- {tenced to life imprisonment in 1892, for shooting Daniel Chesebro at Rath- { born’s. home in North Stonington. He had just returned from a hunting.trip, ‘and he fired at Chesebro with his ! shotgun. At his trial he made no de- fense. For the sake of his children he ' said he was unwilling to say anything i to injure his wife's character. Rath- {born became insane soon after his commitment, but recovered. His wife | secured a divorce and remarried. She is now dead. Rathborn declined to | discuss the case’ during his years be- [ hind the bars, but recently State’s Attorney Hull of New London per- {suaded him to plead for a pardon, which was granted. The board also pardoned Joseph Stout, colored, of Bridgeport, who has served twelve years in prison for the murder of Charles Tucker. He, too, wag sentenced for life. The board did not take final action on the/other petitions before it. | There were sixty-three petitions be- | fore the board yesterday. Governor +Holcomb presided at the meeting. One of the noted cases which came | up. was that of Willlam D. W. Fowler. ;Fowler, imprisoned in 1912 for inde- ’cent assault committed in Westbrook, again asked for a pardon. His coun- sel, Judge Blydenberg of New Haven, said Fowler was ‘railroaded” to prison by a conspiracy organized by Littlefield, a rival in business. John Dynes, in prison since 1873, 4sked for pardon on the ground thas he was innocent. ARMY AND NAVY ARE WHOLLY INADEQUATE | Dickinson Says “Idea of Our Getting Into War Is Not Altogether Chimerical.” New York, June 15.—It would be the blindest folly for this country to regulate its conduct upon the assump- tion that there will be no more wars or intrust its destiny to any temporal power but its own, said Jacob M. Dickinson,” former seeretary of war, in an address here last night, advo- cating better military and naval pre- paredness. At present, he said, the army and navy defenses of the United States' were wholly inadequate for war with any first class power. He added that “the idea of our getting into war is not altogether chimerical.” Judge Dickinson was a speaker at a mass meeting in Carnegie hall of the peace and preparation conference, in session here under the auspices of the National Security league. Answering the ‘“‘charges that there are deliberate efforts now under way for foisting upon this ' country the same militarism that has been the un- doing of Europe,” Judge Dickinson cited our action toward Cuba, the Philippines and at Vera Cruz as ‘“ob- ject lessons of pacific purpose, to say nothing of our long record of efforts for the promotion of peace.” The speaker referred to recent re- ports by Major General Wotherspoon, former chief of staff, and of Secretary of War Garrison. - LODGE EULOGIZES FLAG.
