MERIWETHER
TO TESTIFY
Arensed Eidshipmac to Go en Stand i
in His Own Defenja.
BTORY OF THE FIGHT RETuLD
Annapolis Md.. Nov. 28.?No great
progress was made yciUrdaj in the
trial by court martial of Midshipman
Manor Meriwether on charges that em
brace one of n?nslaughter in connec
tion with the death of Midshipman
James R. Branch, Jr.. after a fist fight
between him and Midshipman Meri
wether. Perhaps the most important
developments of the day were the de
cision of counsel to put Midshipman
Meriwether on the stand in his own |
defense, and the appearance of Dr. L.
W. Glazebrook, of Washington, in the
role of adviser to Meriwether's coun
sel. Most of the testimony offered was 5
by midshipmen, and related to details
of the fight aud the events that led
thereto.
Midshipmen A. W. Fitch and Leigh
Noyes, respectively referee and time
keeper of the fight, were recalled and
again went over their testimony as to
certain, incidents in the fight. They
said that twice. It was thought, Branch
bad hit his head against the floor.
Lieutenant Commander Docker testi
fied that the floors in Bancroft Hall,
where the fight was held, have a con
crete base, then a layer of rough
boards and then the smooth surface
boards.
Midshipman Ralph Y eager, who was
Meriwether's second, said the latter |
had slipped in the 15th round, apraln
:ng his ankle, and that he vu almost
disabled thereby, but said he could con
tinue the fight, though ho oralld do lit
tle to defend himself.
Midshipman Hugo W. Caller, a fourth
clans man, testified that bo bad loaned
the civilian clothes that wore found
by Branch to Meriwether during the
summer, and that on the day they j
were found in the clooet Branch told |
him he had better go get thran. He had
then gone to the closet and serwered
the clothing.
The defense will close today, unless j
the medical testimony relating to the
autopsy consumes more ttme than la
now expected. Witnesses for the de- |
fense will include Medical Inspector |
Howard Eames and Lieutenant Coin- |
mander T. P. Magruder, aide to the
superintendent, the latter to testify to j
a matter of academy record.
The court will meet on Thursday J
(Thank riving Day) unless an unex- J
per ted order to the contrary is received
from the secretary of the navy. Wit
nesses may be called In rebuttal, but
the probability is that die court will
finish Its work by Friday.

FORAKERu .LL
9hlo Senator Wii.'i A- Inter-Stats
Commerce Law.
Washington. Nov. -5 nator For
aker presented to the te aau committee
on inter-state commerce the draft of
his bill to amend 'he inter-slate com
merce law. The senator stated that be
had tried to meet the complaints against
present railroad conditions and at the
: jme time avoid conferring upon the
inter-state commerce commission, or
any similat body, the power over rail
road rates.
The K .raker bill, however, provides
for enjoining the publishing and charg
ing of excessive rales and for enjoining
and discrimination forbidden by law,
whether between shippers, places, com
modities or otherwise, and wheher ef
fected by means of rates, rebates, clas
sifications, private cars, preferentials,
or in any other manner whatever"
While this does not confer upon the
court the power to fix a rate it does
authorize the court to say what is an
unlawful rate and how much is unlaw
ful and to enjoin he carrier from
charging more than is found to be law
ful. The bill also is designed to pro
hibit the giving of passes; to allow
free access to railroad documents and
to meet complaints as to rail rates on
export and import freight.
Provision is made so that the laws
to expedite cases in the courts will ap
ply to the new law. No carrier is al
lowed to grant a special rate or in any
manner collect from any person a
gTeater or less compensation than it
receives from any other person.

Death came amou? us ou Uc

Paul, the tive year-old sou of
Mr. and Mrs. Lake Barne-..
Only for a few days was he ill,
and for hours his life hung upon
a thread causing his parents and
loved ones to vacillate, between
hojte and dispair. At last the
body worn and emaciated by
the ravages of disease, could
stand no more, and fell asleep in
the arms of Hint who said, "Suf- \

such is the kingdom of Heaven. "
Beautiful, bright, intelligent
and affectionate, his parents
I loved him most tenderly. Lan
guage cannot convey to us the
depth of their sorrow in the loss
of this sweet little boy. But our
Father has taken him and he is
not dead, but gone to the home
above.
The stay of this little boy
upon earth was but a short one.
but it was long enough to make
impressions upon the loved ones,
of that home that will never be
forgotten.
His place is vacant in the
home, his voice is forever still,
yet he lives in the memory of
those who loved him?who try
to remember that "Bod has but
claimed his own."
But somewhere in God s king
dom, in the bosom of some star,
shining among pyramids afar,
Oh! so far is a city of peace, a
heaven of rest, a home, but a
home for only the blest. No one
can doubt that the spirit of this
little boy has taken its appoint
ed place among the blest
May God comfort the sorrow
ing ones and prepare them to
meet little Paul, in the home
where worldly sufferings are un
known.
