BAN BY COSTA RIGA.
Decree to Shut Out All Persons Unable
to Work.

SAN JOSE. Costa Rica. November 25-
The Costa Rican government today issued
a decree prohibiting the entrance into Costa
Rica of foreign insane, blind or dumb Inn
migrants. merchants or other travellers and
generally all persons unable to work.
The decree gives the port authorities full
power to enforce the law. The action OF
the government is due to the fact that the
prisons are crowded with anarchists, beg
gars and othor obnoxious persons.

No Interest Over Presidency.

Interest In the presidential election, which
will take place December 1. has largely
dwindled. The liberals have not nominated
any candidates, congressional or provincial.
The government party comprising the mod
crates and liberal nationalists, or followers
OF Gen. Emilio Nunez, recently has been
augmented further by deserters from the
liberals. This latter organization has been
denuded of many of its leaders and is prac-
tically wrecked.
Government leaders freely admit that the
registration of voters indicates heavy
frauds, the registration of the island show
ing upward of 100000 men, although the
adult male population is reckoned at little
more than 100000 The government authorf-
ties say they are not willing to accede to
a proposition made by the liberals for a
new registration and a postponement OF
the election, but they promised to enact a
comprehensive election law that will mini
mize the possibility of frauds.

EXPLAINED THE CODE
Testimony of Midshipmen at
Meriwether Trial.
CADETS PLAIN TALK
CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION
MAY FOLLOW.
Defense Endeavored to Show officers
Knew of Combats Between Glass
men and Ignored Them.

Indications are that the condi-
ton of affairs at the Naval Academy
with regard to hazing, or running
as it is now called, may be made the
subject of congressional investiga-
ton. From testimony adduced IN
the Meriwether court-martial yes
terday it would appear that fight
ing was conducted at Annapolis
practically under the eyes OF the ex-
ecutive officers and the fighters were
not interfered with. A midsfipman
who refused to fight, it was brought
out, was ostracized by his class. The
terms of the so-called code OF
honor were explained to the court.
Special From Stan Correspondent.
ANNAPOLIS. November 25.-Owng to the
testimony developed at the Meriwether
courtmartial today it is almost certain, it
IS believed, that congressional investga-
ton of the whole academy system will be
ordered during the coming winter. The wit
nesses today were chiefly cadets and they
stated. without exception, that the
called code of honor an unwritten code,
but none the less binding. called for fight
ing between the classes and even between
members of the same class. sometimes upon
very slight provocation. 1t appeared from
the testimony also that hazing Is practi-
cally existing under the name of running"
and that owing to the technical abolition of
hazing there had been notable increase in
hghting. especially between the third and
fourth class me- 1t was also stated in the
testimony that the fighting has gone on with
the explicit approval of the disciplinary au-
thorities. The counsel for the defense
Commander Robinson, stated that he was
ruIiy prepared to prove the official recog-
nition of fighting IN the academy and also
that a number of serious injuries had been
inflicted, some OF them resulting In the res
ignation of the fighters. althougl none had
ended in death, as was the case in the mat
ter undergoing investigation al the present
Court-martial.
From the personal trial of Cadet Meri-
wether on the charge of manslaughter and
less serious offenses the trial has extended
to an investigation of the whole of the So
called code of honor" 1t would appear
that the academy system is now on trial
and unquestionably the evidence offered to-
day viii give an excellent opportunity for
congressional investigation, It is suggested
in all probability as important as the haz-
ing investigation at West Point five years
ago.
Capt. Richard Wainwright himself for
mer superintendent of the academy, Of
fered objection this afternoon to the in
PRODUCTION Of what he termed merely cumu-
lative evidence. This objection was over
ruled to the extent that Commander Rob-
inson will be allowed to call as many cadets

lish the state of affairs now existing in the
academy. The only portion of Capt. VAIN

Fighting Tacitly Approved.

flBntlnS 1dcltiy approved.
The morning session was devoted chiefly
TO an accumulation of the evidence already
introduced that Midshipman Branch had
persistently prosecuted the defendant Meri-
wether, who had been forced by class senti-
ment TO fight him. At the afternoon ses-
sion, however, witnesses went further and
stated that fighting had even more than
the tacIt approval of the academy authori-
ties.
Midshipnan II. IL Porter of the third
class testified that he had helped one OF
the cadets to the hospital after a fist fight
and had been stopped in broad daylight
by Commander Charles j. Badger. who
looked the man over and proceeded with
out further action or comment Witness
was asked whether Commandant Badger
was likely to have known that the Injured
midshpman had been I'm a fight He replied
that the injured man was being supported
by two comrades, had black eve, and had
ten stitches taken in his lap after he was
landed in the hospital.
The next witness. Midshipman L. Atkins.
n first elassman, said that it was his class
which agreed to the abolition of hazng in
the academy. On that occasion he was
told by Commandant Badger. the com
nlandant of cadets, that in consideration of
the abolition of haZing fights between
the midshipmen would not be officially in
vestigated If the class concerned felt that
the grounds were sufficient to justify a
meeting.
He was asked what would be the result
OF refusal to fight on the part of a mid
shipInan challenged. Unhesitatingly he re-
piled that the man would be ostracsed by
his class. Further the upper classmen
would make life as nearly uncomfortable for
him as possible They would report him
for charges that might be officially justi-
fable. but which could be overlooked IN the
case of other midshlpmen. and as the re-
suit OF these frequent reports the victim
might be 'bilged," that is. dropped from
the rolls. The witness stated that this
condition existed while Capt. w. H Brown
son was superintendent OF the academy.
Penalty for Refusing Challenge.
Asked how many fights had occurred dur
ing his three years at the academy. he
said fifteen or twenty, but he never knew
of a case in which fighting had been
punished.
The judge advocate asked what under
''the code" would be considered i1stiaable
grounds for a meeting Porter answered
"a personal Insult" When asked whet her
the fight would be in public, he said not
exactly. that the participants would keen
as far out of reach of interruption as
possible.
Admiral Mccormick then said: ''The
fight then practically would be held in
secret?"
Yes" said the witness
Admiral Mccormick asked If the object
OF this secrecy was TO allow the fight to
go to finish. Porter replied that this
was not the case. as the fight simply went
% far as was considered necessary by the
seconas who had arranged 1t.
Lieut. Constein asked whether any ef
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-11-26
Officers Knew What Was Going On.

In reply to Lieut.. Constien, Humphrey
said that the fights usually came directly
under the notice of the hospital authorities
and indirectly before the executive officers
of the institution.
The midshipmen, a rule, who have ap-
peared before the court seem perfectly well
satisfied with the condition of affairs exist
ing under the code" They accept the tradi-
tions of the academy on the subject of fight
ing as perfectly correct, and seem satisfied
10 leave the management of meetings to the
various class organization They have
agreed in testimony that men are usually
better friends after fighting than before,
and while they admit that there have been
a number Of painful injuries resulting from
fights, they apparently take this as part of
the game, and do not regard them seriously.
There will be number of other witnesses
called by the defense The prospects now
are that the case, including the medical
testimony adduced by the autopsy, will
carry the hearing over the greater part of
the coming week. j. w. M
