Young Branch is Insane

Walter Branch, 10 years of age, is
Of unsOund mind, but an operation is
is thought will put an end to this de-
Tangement.
AS stated in The Messenger yester-
LAY the sanity of Branch was inquired
into by a commission de lunatico in
quirendo, consisting of DR.. w. D. Nc
MILAN, superintendent of health, and
justices j. J. Fowler and James M.
MCGOWAN. The commission met at 1
o'clock yesterday afternoon and, after
due investigation, adjudged Branch in
sane and ordered him sent to the asy-
1um at Raleigh.
Subsequently, DR.. II. S. Burbank
stated that he Thought Branch's de-
rangement was caused by a piece of
skull pressing against the brain, and
that an operation would remove this
cause of insanity. Consequently the
young man was ordered sent to the
city hospital, to be operated upon.
Some time ago in an accident in
Washington, d. c., young Branch re-
ceiVed a severe blow on the head, and
this is supposed to have knocked a
piece of the skull against the brain.

Afraid to Make a Record

Raleigh, N. c., March 17.-Chairman
Caldwell says regarding his vote not to
accept the judgments rendered by Pear
son today, that it would have been bad
policy to make a record of the commits
sion's position in overruling EXCEPTIONS;
that it would have given railways a club
with which to fight the commission in
the courts, and that the railways would
have then had a clear advantage. He
declares he so looked at it and believes
any lawyer would take the same view.
He says, further, he did not endorse the
figures Pearson embodied in his judg-
ment; that they did not agree with those
Caldwell had collected and hat he was
done with the passenger rate matter so
far as he was concerned.

THE LEI

Spair's withdrawal of her request for
the recall of Consul General Lee. after 1t
had been refused by President Mckinley,
is encouraging, in that It shows that her
government really does not want war or
else that il is determined to have a bet
ter reason for IL than that aforded by
the action Of the United States in the
matter. Looking at the cas- from the
strictly legal point Of view, her retreat
Is somewhat surprising, tor there can b.
no doubt that she was within her rights
in requesting the recall OF General Lee,
Nor was her government bound to az
sign any reason for 1t. 1t was enough
il General Lee was distasteful to her.

ton would have excited little comment
