Senator For aker today presented to the Senate Com . mittce on Interstate Commerce the draft of his bill to amend the interstate com merce law.

Navy to order that the body of the late Midshipman Branch be exhumed and an autopsy held. It is not certain how much can be revealed by an autopsy upon the body of Midshipman Branch, who has been dead lor about three weeks, but it is believed that almost absolute information can be obtained as to the existence of any previous diseased con dition of the heart, brain or other organs, such as would have made death possible at the time from any cause other than the blows received in the fight. At the request of counsel for the ac cused, the court directed that Medical Inspector H. E. Ames and Surgeon James D. Gatewood, both of whom are statiqned at Washington, be directed to be present at the autopsy. The prosecution closed its case this morning with the testimony of Surgeon A. M. McCormick, and it was of this witness that Admiral McCormick asked the questions forming the basis for one of the grounds of the challenge by the judge-advocate. How Injuries Might Have Been Inflicted. Surgeon A. M. McCormick was the first witness called today. He Branch's injuries could readilv said have been inflicted in a fight by successive blows of the first encased in light gloves. The symptoms indicate oedema of the brain producing compression.

An autopsy revealed that he had died of an embolism or clogging of the blood vessels o the head, due primarily to a vegetation from the region of the heart being carried to the brain. This condi tion, the report of the autopsy said, existed prior to his entrance to , the Academy. . The special point which the defense sought to prove by Midshipman Smith was that Branch, when not on duty, had voluntarily informed the witness, who was in charge of the floor, that Meri wether had brokensome rule, and this was so stated by Smith.

Boston, Mass., Nov. 2-1. Boston and Cambride tonight were tossing with im patience on the ovo of the annual foot fall battle between Harvard and Yale. It has been many years since interest in a game between the two universities had reached the pitch r nifested to night, and those who have followed Har vard and Yale through thirty years of football returns feel that conditions sel dom have been bettor for a great ex hibition. The agitation over football played i.at present led by President Roosevelt and l'resident Eliot, of Harvard, aa well as the possibility that, the game may lie prohibited at Harvard; Yale's unbroken record of victories this year; the forced withdrawal of Captain Hurley, of the Harvard team, n few days before the game, contributed to produce a situa tion not previously known in connec tion with games here. , The night before the game found Har vard hopeful and ale confident, while Yale tonight was 11 strong . favorite among the multitude which expected to witness tomorrow's play.

TESTIMONY COMPLETE IN GILLim CASE Will Be Given To Jury Today Evidence In Favor of Plaintiff By a New New York Man. Special to Daily Industrial Xews. Asheville, Nov, 24. An interesting turn was given tne Robert Gilliland mandamus suit in Superior Court this morning when Mr. Bunsell, a Xew York lawyer, a visitor to Asheville. was put onr the stand by the plaintiffs for t'le purpose of giving testimony relative to the distinguishing qualities of the Port uguese. Mr. Bunsell, who has been an inter ested spectator in Superior Court since the question of negro blood in the veins of the descendants of Jeffrey Graham, was raised, has had considerable deal ing -with Portuguese sailors and Other subjects of Portugal in Xew York city and also in South America. The plaintiffs scored an important point this morning while Mr. Bunsell was on the stand and secured evidence that tended to bear out their contention that the descendants of Jeffrey Graham are of Portuguese and not negro blood. Mr. Bunsell was asked to look around and sec if lie could locate any one in the room who resembfcd a Portuguese. Mr. Bunsell picked out two men whom he said very much resembled Portu guese. One of these men was a grand son of Jefirev Graham and the other a direct descendant of his. The attorneys for the defense this morning introduced a number of wit nesses. : The trend of the testimony adduced went tc prove that the people of Avery's Creek township have always looked upon the descendants of Jeffrey Graham as part negro. The case will be given to the jury to morrow. - TO TRY DR. WADSWORTfl Xewnan, Ga.. Xov 24.

Wherever the story is told of the wreck of the passen ger steamer Argo, from Chicago, which struck a sandbar today while attempt ing to enter this harbor in tl early hours of the morning, the name of Life Saver Robert Smith, will be held in ven eration. Tne life-saving crew had labored in fu tile attempts to reach the stranded ship. Men and women paEsengers and the crew stood helplessly at the end of the life-line, not knowing how to ma nipulate the breeches buoy that would carry them 500 feet over tho slender line to safety ashore. Then it was that Robert Smith tied about his body a line thrown -from the wreck to the strug gling life-boat and was dragged through the foaming waves to the week of the Argo, sending safely ashore first the four women passengers and a little girt and then one after another the other passengers and those of the crew who had not chosen to remain with Captain John Stewart on board. Twenty-five passengers and thirteen of the crew were hauled ashore, but Cap tain John Stewart, with a few picked members of his crew, refused to desert the ship. This evening they were still on board, the breeches buoy being kept in readitiess for their rescue, the mo ment the ship should begin to show signs oi going io pieces. , bbton1se1ob to a jury today St. Louis, Nov. 24.

The Senator said that in arranging to represent the Rial to Company he stipulated that be was not to be expected to use any influence in the Postofrice Department. The eyes of all iu court were fastened on Burton as his counsel, Lchmann, asked him whether he remembered the conversation relative to his employment by the National Securities Company, as related yesterday.
