THE JIU-JIrsU ACCEPTED
Midshipmen to Be Taught The
Japanese Art OF
Wrestling

Jiu-Jitsu, the japanese science of
wrestling. will be taught at the Naval
Academy. This decision was an
nounced at the Navy Department Sat
urday by Secretary Morton after he
and Commander l. Takashita, the Jap
anese naval attache, had an interview
with the President.
The naval attache introduced TO the
President on Friday Mr.. Yamashita,
a noted professor of the science, and
Mr.. Roosevelt was deeply interested in
what the instructor had to say in re-
gard to the japanese wrestling. The
President was so much impressed that
he expressed q wish to introduce the
science at the Naval Academy. The
conference was the result of the call
of Friday last, and, as Captain Brown
son, the uperintendent of the Naval
Academy. was at the Navy Department
Saturday, Secretary Morton and the
two japanese had a long talk with
Captain Brownson.
Captain Brownson decalred himself
in favor of introducing the style of
wrestling at the Naval Academy. The
Secretary of the Navy announced fur
ther that the jiu- -jitsu would be taught
as soon as the japanese instructor
could make his arrangements TO go tC
Annapolis and begin his course OF
training, which. it is said. will be
he coming week.

GUNNER DAVIES.
His Varied Experience In The
Service OF The United
States Navy.

That the United States service still
offers some opportunity for adventure
is proved by the career of Gunner
Davies, U. S. N, now stationed on
the torpedo boat destroyer Macdon-
ough, which has been in Annapolis
harbor for some days. This young
warrant officer has probably had a
more varied experience in the service
than any other person of his age for
though not vet 30 years old, he has
been in four branches of the service
and born arms against indians, Span
iards. and Filippinos.
Gunner Davies is a Tenneseean by
birth and graduated from Kenyon Col
Ieee, at Gambler, Ohio, in 1895. He
Immediately enlisted in the cavalry
branch of the Amy and almost imme-
diately took part in severe Indian
campaign. His enlistment expired
Just before the Spanish American war
aud he next tried the artilley, with
which he served until the close of the
fighting. On the organization of the
volunteer regiments for duty in the
Philippines, Mr.. Davies was appoint
ed a lieutenant in the Forty Second
Regiment Infantry with (which he
served until it was mustered out. He
then entered the Navy, has attained
the rank of gunner and hopes to reach
that of chief gunner in a short time.
Gunner Davies has served all his
enlistments with credit and his exper-
fence is probably unique in the diver
sity of its character.

NO APPOINTMENT IS MADE
EMERGENCY HOSPITAL HAS
NO SUPERINTENDENT
Miss Adamson Takes Her Depart
ure From The Premis on
Saturday.

A considerable diversity of opinion
exists among the board of managers of
the Emergency Hospital as to the Sc
lection of new superintendent to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Miss Adamson. Who win be Sc
lected for the position and by what
means the great diversity of opinion
can be adjusted is not known
Miss Adamson had a great many
sypmathizers and supporters, but there
were many who were opposed TO the
ideas she had with reference to the
work she was supposed to do Her
leaving, as she did on Saturday in a
very sudden manner when she had
agreed to stay until the 18th of the
month had a tendency to still further
complicate matters. Several meetings
of the staff of physicians were held
last week, at which many names of
candidates for the position were men,
toned. Principal among these was
Miss Stella Shlpley, direetress of the
Sibley Hospital in Washington.
1t was stated that she was possessed
OF great experience, cared more for
her profession than the social features
which it might open to her and in
every way was suited TO the position.
1t was recommended TO the board of
managers that she be given the prefer
ence in the selection of "A superinten-
dent and the physicians were of the
opinion that she would receive the ap-
pointment. Tits morning an informal
meeting of the board of managers was
held for the purpoes of taking action
looking to the selection of a superin-
tendent. Considerable discussion was
engendered and every indication was
that Miss Shipley would receive the
appointment. In this, however, there
was considerable disappointment for
no decision could be reached in the
matter. 1t was decided, however,
that on Thursday of this week a final
decision would be reached in the mat
ter
Miss Oarneal, of Baltimore, a train
ed nurse OF great experience, will be
in charge of the hospital pending the
appointment of successor to Miss
Adamson. She was secured late Sat
urday afternoon in a very short space
OF time when it became known that
the hospital would be entirely without
a nurse. AT the meeting this morning
DR.. Louis b. Henkel recommended an
enlargement of the hospital building
and the addition of several needed
pieces of equipment. These matters
viii also be taken up at the meeting
on Thursday

EXPERTS TO MEET ON MAT.
PROFESSOR WILLARD CHAL-
LENGES JAPANESE.
Invites The Jiu- Jitsu Instructor to
Entera Contest Will Show
No Quarters.

Prof. Charles Willard, the physical
culturist and athletic. has issued q
challenge 10 the japanese jiu- jitsu in
stTuctor at the Naval Academy, who
arrived Thursday from Japan, who
has not vet resolved his appointment,
but who is more than likely to be ap.
pointed in few days.
Y. Yamashita is his name, and he
comes from Toxic, where he was in
structOr in the Royal Academy. He is
very qiuck and exceedingly strong for
a man of his size and weight He,
however, is said to lack the clean cut
physical development of the American
athlete who has issued a challenge to
meet him in public contest TO demon
strate whether the japanese method of
defense is superior to the American
method or not. The challenge is short
and to the point and if it is accepted
by Yamashita il will make one of the
most interesting exhibitions of
strength, art and skill ever presented.
According to the articles, there win
be no mercy shown. The challege
reads as follows:
"Y. Yamashita-Dear Sir: / here
with issue a challenge to you for a
contest in attack and defense, you to
use the method of jiu-jitsu and will
use the American system of defense
with bare hands, the contest to con-
tinue until a surrender. The one sur
rendering is, of course, defeated. The
contest to take place in Baltimore city
the first week of January, 1905. The
object of this challenge is to demon

is now mp to the Japanese athlete TO
demonstrate the superiority of his
scientific art.
Professor Yamashita has signed a
contract to teach the advanced Japa-
nese art of offense and defense to the
midshipmen for one year. So popular
is the teaching of the japanese physi-
cal culturist that he hesitated a long
time to thus bind himself as his calss
work is most remunreative and it took
the persuaisons of the President him.
self to induce the signing of the con-
tract. Professor Yamashita will send
to Japan for an assistant and the in
struction at the Academy will begin
in about a month. He is anxious to
have it distinctly understood that it
is not "jiu- -jitsu' but Judo" that
he will impart to the midshipmen.
The former, he says, is just par and
the cruder part of the latter. Jiu-jitsu
includes the art of infiioting greater
or less injuries on an opponent, but
if one is also skilled in judo he can
restore the injured person.

an athlete is one that few possess. He
is recognized as one of the foremost
masseurs and physical culturists in the
country. He originated the Willard
system of curative physical culture
exercise and the American system of
massage, which is so superior to the
foreign system in its curative effect
that the foreign countries have adopt

boxers Of the new school, and during
the five years Of his career in the ropen
arena he lost but one decision. This
last contest took place in New York,
ON December Is. 1898
Professor Willard defeated his op-

and ten minutes. which was forty-six
rounds of three minutes each, with
one minute rest. Being satisfied that

then he has made a scientific study of
how to strike the various blows and
defend with very little exertion.
