Davis and Samuel UntOi' myer appeared today in Supreme court, AiannaiiMi, in opposition to the plan of Assistant District Attorney Wallace to start the perjury trial of Isidor J.

Langton, Catholic chaplain, celebrated the requiem mass, the body of the young soldier lay in a flag draped casket before the altar.

There was no eulogy and the services were of the simplest, lasting only half an hour. Mrs. Richard Brinslcy Sheridan, mother of the cadet who died In New Haven Monday after Injuries received in Army's football struggle with Yale, was too grlefstricken to attend.

Alble Booth of the Ells and William Bingham, athletic director at Cambridge, extended from the highest academy officer to the lowliest of the enlisted men.
