BODY TO BE BROUGHT HOME.
Coal Passer Raftery Drowned While
Swimming From His Ship.


Chief Clerk Neagle, acting judge advo-
cate general of the navy. has rendered an
interesting decision in regard to the burial
privileges of enlisted men of the navy who
lose their lives while violating the regula-
tfons of the service. In the case In ques-
ton X. G. Raftery, coal passer attached
to one of the vessels OF the Asiatic squad
ron. attempted to swim ashore without
permission while the vessel to which he
was attached was lying IN port. He was
drowned In the attempt and his body was
buried in local cemetery. Under the
rules of the naval service the bodies of
ofncers and men who die abroad or who
are killed in action in a foreign land are
brought home at the expense of the gov
ernment and reinterred in the United
states whenever such action is requested
by the family or relatives. The brother
OF Raftery asked the Navy Department
to take this action in his case, and the
question arose at the department as to
whether such privileges extended to cases
like this, where death was not actually
incurred in the line of duty.
The acting judge advocate general recon-
mended In view of all the, circumstance
or the case, that favorable action be taken
on the request for the removal of the re-
mains to the United States, and the Navy
department has issued orders accordingly.
Inere was no evidence to show that Raj
terry intended to desert the presumption
being rather that he simply desired to go
ashore for few hours to meet a friend.

RODE RINGS AROUND WALTHoUR.

Jimmy Michael Defeats Southern
Champian in Hollow Style.
In the language Of the cycle track. 'Jim-
my Michael the little Welsh cyclist, rode
rings around" Robert Walthour. the south
err cycling champion. in their match race
of fifteen miles, paced by single motors in
the Madison Square Garden, New York,
last night. Michael led from the start and
won by exactly four and half laps of the
ten-lap track, or almost half a mile. This
is lap more than Michael's margin of VIC
tory over Harry Elkes on the same track
Monday evening. and conclusively demon
strates the little Welsh riders superiority
in middle-distance, motor-paced racing on
indoor tracks, at least. His easy victory
last night was unquestionably due to clever
and fast riding, no accidents of any
kind occurred and the accomplished man
ner in which he followed the pace set for
him by Albert Champion, the French chauf-
feur, Won for him round after round of ap-
plause. Credit is due to Champion, too, for
the excellent judgment with which he set
the pace.
Walthour. on the other hand was plainly
not at home on the steep indoor track and
did not seem to be riding his best He rode
higher up from his pace and further behind
|. 1t than Michael did with his, and seemed
afraid to get in close, as Michael, thanks to
his diminutive size, was able to do.
