For Government Purposes.

The first step in the direction of
carrying out the recommendations of
the board on wireless telegraphy,
whose report was approved by Presi-
dent Roosevelt recently, was made yes
terday by the transfer of ocean meteo-
rology from the Navy Department to
the Weather Bureau under the Agri-
cultural Department. The change is
considered to be indicative of great
advance in the general plan of utiliz-
ing wireless telegraphy for govern
ment purposes. Prof. Willis l.. Moore.
Chief of the Weather Bureau and at
present Acting Secretary of Agricul-
ture, said that this means that soon
there will be wireless communication
between vessels of the merchant ma
rine and the navy and coatswise wire
less stations when such vessels are
300 miles of either coast of the United
States.

The kidshipmen Leave Washington For

Three grim fighters of Uncle Sam S
superb navy, the coast defense moni-
tors Arkansas. Florida and Nevada,
which have been anchored off Wash
ington steamed away last night.
The Florida left her moorings this
morning for Indian Head, where the
midshipmen will be given an oppor
tunity to inspect the government prov.
ing grounds, where the big guns of
the navy are tested. The midshipmen
ON the Arkansas and Nevada stopped
over at Indian Head on their way
up the Potomac, but the Florida went
through Washington without stop.
The Arkansas and Nevada will leave
their anchorage today and join the
Florida at the testing ground, and
then all three will proceed TO the
mouth of the Potomac, where they
will join the other vessels of the fleet
All the warships are due to arrive
at the Naval Academy August 81, and
the midshipmen who have been on
the instructive cruise will be given
one months leave of absence. They
are all members of the first class
About 100 of the middies visited the
navy yard at Washington yesterday
and were shown through the great
government gun factory. The making
of the big and little cannon for the
American fighting craft was explained
to them in interesting detail by Off
GERS of the yard. Those of the mid
shipmen who visited the ordnance
works Wednesday and Thursday spent
yesterday sight seeing about Washing
ton and it's historic suburbs.

FOURTH CLASS PUGILIST 5.
Youngsters AT The Naval Acad-
emy Settle Disputes
With Fists.

Few outsiders know there is a regu-
lar mill at the Naval Academy. 1t
is located near the water, back of the
buildings and on this mat the
fourth class midshipmen settle all
their disputes, man to man, in a fistic
combat.
The time is usually early in the
morning, anywhere from 4 to 3 or
). so o'clock. The would-he pugilists
do the thing up in fine style and ac-
cording To Queensbury rules. There
are referees. seconds, time keeper
and man 90 rub each Of the fighters
dowr. Everything is conducted in
good form. The pugilitss are clad in
an undershirt and long white overalls.
This mornings fight was one of the
prettiest of any that have yet taken
place. It lasted from to 80 a. m,
and there was some scientific sparring
The fist fights have been frequent all
summer. Sometimes there have been
three and four week occasionally
there are three and four rounds, but
at other times "time" has been called
at the end of the second round. The
cause for the pugilistic contests are
varied. They are always TO settle
some dispute of some sort.
Oftentimes some Northern youth
berates the South and controversy
ensues that can only be settled in the
manly way of fistic encounter
Whatever the cause the matter of ad-
justment of difficulties remains the
same. The Naval Academy authori-
ties know nothing of the encounter
and il is supposed Go be n dead
secret" to the chosen few engaged in
the conflict.

Died at Emergency Hospital.

Mr. Ringgold Duvall, of this coun-
ty, who was operated upon yesterday
afternoon at the Emergency Hospital
for peritonitis, died about noon
today. The operation was per-
formed by Dr. Joseph @. Bloodgood,
of Johns Hopkins Hospital, visiting
member of the Emergency Hospital
Staff, assisted by DIR. George Wells,
chief of staff, of the hospital The
patients condition was critical from
the first.
Mr.. Duvall was taken with appendi-
citis some days ago and when removed
to the hospital yesterday he was
found to be suffering with peritonitis
in its worst form. Everything was
done for the sufferer, but death was
imminent. The remains were taken
this afternoon to the home of the de-
ceased at South River Ferry, Second
district, the old Duvall homestead.
The deceased was 43 years old and the
son of Samuel Duyall. The deceased
was a member of the last petit jury OF
the April term of Court.

Causing Comment.

The fact that for some unknown rea-
son the report of the Board of Visitors
to the Naval Academy has not yet
been received at the Navy Depart
ment, is causing some comment. Some
impatience is evidenced at the Depart
ment because the members of the board
appear to be neglecting the duty they
have agreed to perform. The report of
the Board of Visitors to the Military
Academy was received weeks ago, but
not one word has been heard at the
Navy Department regarding the Naval
Academy report. 1t is understood,
however, that among the recommends
tions which the board contemplates
making is a change in the age limit of
admission to the Academy. The board
is said TO be in favor of making the
admission from 10 to II years.

"capt. Jack Not Here.

Although it has been currently re-
ported that Capt. Jack Fenton, of
Baltimore, was brought here yesterday
by Deputy Sheriff n. W. Bryan to
answer charges for contracting a board
bill at Hotel Annapolis last winter
during the Legislature which he did
not pay, the truth of the matter is
Capt. Jack has not materialized.
Deputy Sheriff Bryan returned alone.
There is some question as to the in
tentions of Mr. Fenton to defraud. II
is said in legal circles that ne intend
ed to pay the board bill but had not
the money at the close of the Legisla-
ture, but Manager Hollebaugh says he
cannot live on the good intentions OF
others. Deputy Sheriff Bryan brought
back with him security for the
amount.
