Surgeon Reports on Death
of Midshipman at
Annapolis.
Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte Orders
an investigation and the Code for
Settling Affairs of Honor Between
Young Students by Fighting May Be
Abolished In Consequence of the
Death of Branch.
Special to The Light.
Washington. D. C Nov. 11. —
Drastic measures will probably be
taken by Secretary Bonaparte for
the punishment of all naval cadets
who had anything to do with the tight
at Annapolis last Sunday night which
resulted in the death of Midshipman
Branch ot New York.
It has already been decided to re-
duce the grade. of Midshipman Mer-
riwether of Louisiana whom Branch
fought and the seconds of both par-
ties In the encounter.
Late this afternoon the secretary
of the navy received a report of the
surgeon who was ordered to make
an investigation of the case. The
report says that Branch died as a
result of a series of blows and not as
a result of one blow or one fail in
which it might have been called an
accidental death.
This shows the fight to have been
a savage one. The position of Eranch
and Merrlwether was such that ac-
cording to the code which prevails
at the academy neither could main-
tain his standing without fighting.
Merrlwether who though that
Branch an upper classman. had treat-
ed him unjustly is raid to have insult-
ed Branch. The matter was taken
to a higher class and It was decided
that they must fight and a challenge
was sent to Merrlwether. who prompt-
ly accepted. Seconds referee and time
keepers were appointed and the fight
wa- on.
A clot of blood formed on the brain
of young Branch and resulted in his
det th.
Fighting has been tolerated In the
academy since the beginning and
graduates have considered it the on-
ly practical method of settling af-
fairs of honor between young students
but the fatal result of the present
dispute may end the code which has
governed midshipmen for half a cen-
tury end the attitude of the presi-
dent and secretary of the navy sre
taken to point to an abolition of fis-
tic encounters at the school.
What the action of the secreary of
the navy will be Is as yet a matter
of surmise but the officials say when
his action independent of the board
of inquiry In the matter of the Ben-
nington is remembered there may be
more than a reprimand to students
and investigation of conditions at
the academy.
BAYLOR BEATS T. C. U.

Waco. Tex. Nov. 11 —Baylor turned

noon and won the football game by a

hard fought one and the victors are
greatly elated. This gives the two
teams an even break and the tie will

Special to The Light.
Houston. Tex. Nov. 11. —A simple
case of disturbing the peace which
came up before Judge Kerlicks in the
corporation court led to a most un-
usual series of events. Tne defendant
was an Octoroon female young ex-
ceedingly good looking and it was
claimed bad been brought up in a
shockingly dej raved manner.
The trouble started over the attor-
ney defending the girl attempting to
Introduoe evidence showing the wicked
influences with which the girl had
been surrounded. The Judge ruled
negatively against the introduction of
such evidence. The lawyer persisted
and was fined heavily for contempt
of court and the officer in attendance
was directed to take him immediately
Into custody. He applied for a writ
of habeas corpus to District Judge
Ashe.
The jury in the meantime had gone
Into deliberation and heated argu-
ments over the very (Joint on which
the court bad fined the lawyer arose
and ended with a general fist fight.
There were smashed noses and bruised
heads. The fight ended the prosecu-
tion the prisoner and jury being dis-
charged.
A controversy between the Judge
and the lawyer who was released un-
der a writ of habeas corpus ia still
pending.

that road will come through Helena.
The business league appointed a

fer with the officials of that road and
as a result they promised to survey
the line through this city aad consid-
er a proposilun made them to come
through here.

arrive here tomorrow over the Valley
route and will be entertained by the
business league.
The officials have not promised def-
initely that the road would be built
through but as they have considered
the matter seriously and promised to
make a survey there is every reason
to believe that the road will be built.

Some of the leading opponents of
the Anglo-Cuban treaty profess to be-1
Heve thlt the United States govern-
ment is preparing to show that Cuba
mus not invite possible complica-
tions. A prominent official who Is
against the treaty and whose position
prevents him from talking openly
said today:
"I am convinced that Senator Cul-
lum's Invocation of the Platt amend-
ment because Havana sewers are un-
built Is a preliminary slap In the
face of the Cuban administration and
to show that if Cuba has independ-
ence she must understand ft ia with
certain limitations I think that as
long as this treaty or others similar
are pending every possible opportun-
ity will be taken to punish Cuba.”
