OCTOBER 27 DATF SET FOR “NAVY DAY” Definite plans for observing “Navy! Day" October 27, at the Naval Acad emy have not yet been made. Every day is "Navy Day” within the walls of the institution and as yet no spe cial observances of the date have been arrang'd for. The Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Denby, has been invited to attend the fcanqoiet to be held in Baltimore on that date, when a naval parade will! be given earlier in the day. First hand information about the! service by the men who direct tlie j Navy’s activities is to be broadcasted by radio for the sakes of the many, families throughout tlie middle west' who have sons in the Navy and no! very definite knowledge of Navy life.! Arrangements have been made by j the Navy Department and the West-! ’.nghouse Electric and Manufacturing 1 Company whereby the broadcasting j station “WJZ’Vat New ark, N. J.. will I set aside one night a month to be| known as “Navy night.” On this; night the Navy will be represented j by distinguished officers as speakers. A concert w-ill also he furnished eitli-j er by a navy yard hand or from some' ship that may be in port. The idea of having prominent na : val officers speak directly to the peo ple by means of radio is to give them a better idea of the large amount of work the Navy is called upon to do in timrj of peace as well as to estab lish a closer relationship between the Navy and the inland centers of popu lation.

Trial of Stuart II Hawkins, of Springfield, Mass., on charges of al 'eged hazing of Ralph It. Pearson, or 'he fourth class, was completed late yesterday afternoon, and the record tnd findings will go to Superintendent Wilson, the convening authority. The guilt or innocence of Hawkins hinges on the point of whether or not his ef forts to teach Pearson the “Big Hand,” part of an athletic yell, was in the nature of an unfriendly act, or an unauthorized assumption of authority” by Hawkins, the latter being classi led as "hazing” under the act of Con gress. Pearson testified at the trial that Hawkins dealt him a blow in the hack with the first, shook him by the. shoulders, and also swore at him while at “mpsa” table. Hawkins flat ly denied this, saying that lie merely tried to teach Pearson the cheer None of 11 witnesses examined supported the testimony of Pearson. The board detailed by Superintend ent Wilson to investigate hazing in all forms continued its probe today. Another Cinter Arrc-t Still another midshipman has been placed under arrest and sent to the station ship Reina Mercedes, presum ably on charges (if hazing as develop ed by the board of investigation ap pointed by Superintendent Wilson, which has been in session daily.

The trial was complet ed before the court adjourned, and* the findings and verdict will he for warded to Superintendent WilJJfy jftir ) i review. Three Specifications In C harge The specifications contained in the direct charge against Hawkins werfe ‘ that he subjected Pearson to “indig nity, hardship and oppression.” The offense, it was alleged, was committed at “mess table No. Ill*,” in Bancroft Hall, some time between Oetob"r l and 11, but the date was established more closely in course of testimony as between October 5 and 7, at sup per. Midshipman Pearson testified that Hawkins asked him a question which he could not answer, because he did not quite understand it, where upon Hawkins came over to his seat at table, dealt him a blow in the hack with his fist, and shook him by the shoulders with the remarks “ you. I'll, shoty you how toikeep your I ears open, and teach you, hfcw to act.” Answering a question put by the Judge Advocate or prosecutor, Lieut.- ' Coqj.. A. Murphy, witness said he felt ‘humiliated by the act, and later on said hie was “seared” to say any thing because he did not know what the consequences might be.
