There was launched from the Pendie-
ton Bros. shipyard in Belfast, at IL

handsome vessel to be added to their
fleet of nearly 100 vessels. The new

er Instead of a bottle of wine Miss
Pendleton performed the ceremony
with huge bouquet of white roses.
The vessel will be commanded by
Captain Jerry Hayes of Belfast, than
whom no better sails the seas. On a
recent voyage to Cuba, Captain Hayes
had one of his legs broken by getting
caught in the wheel ropes. He set the
broken leg himself and commanded
the vessel into port.

competent builders in the country

GRIM DEATH
Ended the Annapolis Baltimore
Medic Football Game.

N. H., Drops Dead.
Two Thousand Spectators Shocked by
the Sad Occurrence.

Annapolis, Nd, Oct. Gin the game,

Baltimore Medical College, death won
in the last five minutes of the first halt.
Robert F. Levin of Plainfield, N. H.. a
second classman in the Baltimore Medi-
acal College, dropped dead after fierce
struggle between the opposing teams.
The tragedy was unexpected and came
like a thunderbolt to the 1000 or more
spectators who had gathered to witness
the game.
The opposing teams had swayed back
end forth over the field, as two evenly
balanced giants as ever met on the
g:idiron. The Navy by hard line buck
ing had pushed the ball to win ten
yards of the visitors goal when the lat
,l4r by herculean efforts hurled the mid
shipmen back The Medics made a
gain OF another five yards and had just
.fned up for another effort when Levin
right guard of the Baltimoreans, fell to
the ground. He was carried from the
field and five minutes later was pro-
nounced dead by an attending physl-
clan. The cause of death is given as
cardiac synccpe.
The body was taken to the Naval
Academy house where post mortem
examination will be made. Neither team
had scored when the sad ending of the
contest came.

THEY WILL CONTEST.
..
Trouble Over the Late Philo s. Ben
nett's Will at New Haven.

New Haven, Conn.,. Oct. 21.-As eli
max of today's hearing on the applica-
ton for the probating of the will OF the
late PnilO S. Bennett, accompanying
which was a sealed letter which Will
liam J. Bryan, today. testified, was
request that he accept $4,000, Judge
!Stoddard. who represents Mrs. Bennett,
declared that if Mr.. Bryan insisted
upon receiving the fund, she would
contest the will. Mr.. Bryan in reply
said that not one cent of the money
would he allow either his wife or his
children to receive, unless Mrs. Ben
nett were wiling He, however, did
intend to ask the court to decide the
validity of the bequest so that in case
it was declared legal, ne could distrib-
ute the money among educatlonal ana
charitable institutions.
During the hearing Mr.. Bryan intro
dllced correspondence between himself
and Mr. Bennett from the year 1925 to
1900, and read a number of the letters
aloud in order to show that Mr.. Ben
nett repeatedly made offers of financial
assistance to him. He related that in
May, 1900, Mr.. Bennett came to Lincoln,
Neb., to discuss the provisions of MS
will and told Mr.. Bryan that he wish
ed him to accept a bequeSt of $4,000,
believing that he would need it later.
A suggestion made by Mr.. Bryan at
that time was to the effect that if Mr..
Bennett so desired, he could embody it
in request to Mrs. Bennett in letter
TO be left with the will. He further
suggested that the money be left in
trust to himself to distribute among
educational and philanthropic institu-
lions.
when Mr.. Bryan's statement had
been concluded. Judge Stoddard said
that the will, would be contested by
Mrs Bennett If Mr.. Bryan sought to
secure the money, believing that NJ
Bryan had no equitable riSl.t to ii.

days. forecasted by the determined Rad
made upon the institutions stock on
the Pittsburg Stock Exchange. The
positive statements, however, of the
pi esident, j. A. Langfitt, to the effect
that the bank was not in need of money

positors, thus preventing "a run.
The closing of the bank was decided
upon at q meeting of the directors Tues
day night, which did not break up until
2 o'clock Wednesday morning. At that
hour none of the officials would make a
statement and locally the outcome of the
