Lawrence. Mass, Nov. 22,-All but
one of the 400 girls attending the pa
rochal school at st. Anne's parish,
whose lives were endangered by fire
In the building today escaped without
injury, although 25 of them were
caught In nets by firemen as they were
dropped from the third story window
by the teacher. Rena Drouin, IL years
old was taken to a hospital suffering
from the effects of fright and inhaling
smoke, but II Is thought that she will
recover.
All the pupils except those on the
third floor who escaped by means Of
the net, marched out of the building In
good order when the alarm was given.
The fire was caused by an overheatel
furnace.
Sister Mary. one of the teachers and
her twenty-five pupils who were on the
third floor could not get down stairs
on account Of the dense smoke.
The teacher held the children to the
windows beneath which the ffremen

MePiWetheF on Trial Before
Naval Court Martial.
ALLEGED He CALLED BRANCH
"a SNEAK AND A COWARD"
Revelations Show Remarkable Eight
ing Code" at Annapolis Was Be-
yond Control Of Authorities,

Annapolis, Md, Nov. 22.-Midship-
man Minor Meriwether Jr., of Lafay-
cite. La. member Of the third class of
the naval academy, was put on trial
here today before a naval court mar
tial on charges that include that of
manslaughter in having caused the
death of Milshipman James r.
Branch, Jr., of New York, member of
the class above him, as the result of a
pre-arranged fist fight which took
place on the evening of Sunday, No
vember 5th last.
The first and gravest charge Is
manslaughter in having caused the
death of Midshipman Branch, but
there are two other charges, the Sec
ond supported by two specifications
and the third by one. The second
charge is of violation of the third
clause of the eighth article of the
rules for the government of the navy.
The first specification Is that Meri-
wether applied to Branch the names
OF sneak and coward, and the second
that he assaulted him. The third
charge, of conduct to the prejudice
OF good order and discipline. specifies
that Meriwether engaged in a fight
with Branch.
The sad incident of the death Of
young Branch under such circum-
stances has been widely noticed and
has called attention to the existence at
the naval academy Of an unwritten
code governing the student body, but
quite outside authoritative regulations
and generally In violation of them.
Under the code" every detail of these
fights Is fixed, midshipmen on iuty alb
staiulfg from reporting them. and ex~
'cusing from formation those connected
with them These facts were very
celarly brought out both by the Judge
advocate and In the cross examination
by Lieutenant Commander Robson,
for the defense.

RANCHER SHOT

WILLIAM DAVIDSON KILLED
BY NEIGHB0R LEE LONGING
Bitter Feeling Over Land Dispute
Ends in Shooting Which May
Be Double Tragedy.
Special to the Morning journal.

Special to the Morning Journal.
Moriarty, N. NJ. Nov. 22.-What
may prove to be double tragedy,
took place yesterday ON the ranch of
William Davidson. about three indies
north of Moriarty.
Davidson was shot and instantly
killed by Lee Longino. neighbor. and
Longino was so seriously wounded that
1t is feared that he may die.
There were, as far as can be learn
ed, no witnesses of the shooting. The
murder is thought to have been the
result Of a quarrel between the two
men regarding their land. as Longino's
claim adjoins that Of Davidson and
there Is known TO have been a hot
dispute between them as to boundary
lines
Davidson was arrested about a
month ago on com plant OF Longino,
and this caused the feeling between
them to become more bitter. LONGING
has not been arrested and Is in very
critical condition from the effects OF
the bullet wound from Davidson's gun.

ARBITRATION SUGGESTED
IN FISHERIES WRANCsI Il

London. Nov. 21.-Referring editor
tally to the Newfouniland-Un United
States dispute, the Times says the
subject is complicated and difficult
one and obviously requires careful
handling by the imperial government,
That the result of the present negotia-
tions will be satisfactory one there
Is no reason to doubt for there is No
ground for supposing that the United
States is approaching the question
with any desire but that of arriving at
q reasonable settlement, In case OF
any difficulty in arriving at an-Rgree-
mont by direct negotiation it would
seem unnatural to refer the whole
matter to arbitration. The case
seems eminently fitted for that mode
OF settlement. or II Is on that, while
in itself extremely contentious is not
so vital to the interests of New
foundland or so bound up with the
question of national honor as to be
unsuitable for submission to the judg-
ment of an impartial third party.

EquitabIe's Vice President
Recommends Publicity.
Mr.. TARBELL MAKES NO
APOLOGIES FOR GRAFTERS
Witness Admits He Made Handsome
Commissions on Insurance for
Himself and His Family.


New York, Nov. 22-After being
on the witness stand of the Armstrong
legislative committee for three days,
Gage e. Tarben, second vice president
of the Equitable Life Assurance So
tlety, finished his testimony today and
Just before adjournment submitted a
list or suggestions for the remedy of
existing abuses In the management of
insurance companies, for legislation
designed to give the state proper con-
troll over companies and to insure the
confidence Of policy holders. Prolmi-
nent among these suggestions was alb
solute publicity. While admitting that
wrong had been done by life insurance
OFFICIALS. Mr.. Tarbell said he had no
apologies to make for any of them,
and that he hoped they would be pun
ished.
MFR. TarbelTs Rake-Om.
Mr.. Tarbell was on the stand the
entire day and was questioned as to
the system of agencies and commits
Sions and other compensations allowed
them for getting business. Just be-
fore recess the fact was brought out
that TarbelI had taken out an insur-
ance on his own life and on members
OF his family and had received agents
commission on premiums as we'll as
renewal commissions. He said that
since he became an officer he had TAX
en- out 100000 on his own life In the
Equitable. Beside his policy in the
Equitable he had taken insurance in
the New York Life, the arrangement
being made with George w. Perkins,
and on this. too, he received premi-
urns. He also had policy in the
Aetna and Travellers. on all of which
he collected commissions. He said he
carried 1900. 600 on his own life and
siUN.UU0 on members OF Ills family. !
Mr.. TarheIl was emphatic In de-
npuncing the system Of febating by
AGENTS. and stated that any agent Of
the Equitable who gave rebates to get
business was dismissed. When he told
OF getting commissions. Assemblyman
Cox asked If that was not rebating
and Mr.. Tarbeil said 1t was not; that
he was entitled to II.
Later when Mr.. Hughes took up this
ame subject with witness the latter
justified the taking of commissions as
being similar to the case of merchants
who purchased goods of fellow mer-
chant in the same line. perhaps to fill
an order and got those goods at cost
or of a professional man treating an
other and charging less than the reg
nlar fees. Mr. TarbeM further said II
he had done wrong he was sorry, but
that he had acted in good faith.
Calls FNpick Report Unfair.
Mr.. Tarbell bore out in a measure
the statement of James Fl. HYDE when
on the stand relative to the fairness of
the Frick report. The subject of ad-
vanees to agents was under investiga-
tion, and Mr.. Hughes read some fig
utes Of the amount of advances to
one agent In this city. Mr.. Hughes
asked where the Frlck committee got
the figures, and Mr.. Tarbell replied
With marked asperity that he did not
know. They did not get them from
my department or the auditors. They
made their report without ever max
ing an investigation of the depart
ment."
