Annapolis. but distinctly it is a Gus
tom more honored In the breach than
IN the observance.
This code" at Annapolis has been
also the code" at West Point up TO
the last few years. West Pointers
nowadays claim that it no longer
holds in the Military Academy. A
graduate OF 1902 said: II don't know
that it was ever as rigid at the Point
as it IS at Annapolis, and such as 1t
was the code was abolished during
my last year there. Previous TO that
time 1t certainly had existed, and it
was winked at, If not approved OF,
by the authorities. There were
probably ten or a dozen fights a year
there, and while the officers OF the
Academy were not invited to be pres
ent-in fact, every reasonable pre-
caution was taken to prevent their
getting wind of the affair-they Ger
tainly must have known what had
been happening when badly batter
ed cadet was landed in the hospital.
However, the fact that he was bat
tered was generally accepted for
what it was worth and no questions
asked.
''The fights there were of two
sorts, individual and class; and Of
the twain the latter were by far the
more serious. The individual fights,
between two cadets with a personal
grievance, the one against the other,
rarely amounted to much. But the
class fights were fought TO a finish,

them had the impudence to fight be-
hind the messroom building. The
one who fell was borne gloriously
from the field of honor by his COM
rades to the gas house. They then
called in Surgeon Lockwood to ex-
plore for the bullet, which they told
him had been received by accident
in his hip, but Lockwood uncovered
the fraud by suddenly asking, What
distanee?' and getting the answer.
Ten paces,' from two or three of the
sympathizing lookers-on before they
bethought themselves.
Another duel came of at Bladens-
burg, strange TO say, with a similar
wound, and at this the President dis
missed all the participants, although
they were reinstated some years
later. Upshur was not in position TO
object to duels among midshipmen
az the Naval Academy. since he had
himself endeayored to resign while
past mldshipman in order to cali
out his first lieutenant"
AS time went on ''the so-called
code OF honor" says Mr.. BENJAMIN
became strained enough 10 include
the squabbles of boys, which TODAY
would be settled by fsticuns. II was
unfortunate that the commanding Of
heers of the navy should have deaIt
with these affairs with the same
pompous solemnity with which they
manage their own. and permitted the
youngsters TO main and kin one an.
other at will. But they took their
cue from the President of the United
states. Andrew Jackson. who an
nounced that, while he was DETER
mined to stop dueling between Off
GERS and citizens. he would not In
terfere between officers. whose pro-
fession is fighting and who are trained
to arms The newspapers of the
period furnish a sad record of these
encounters. Midshipman Sherbourne
killed Midshipman Key. Midshipman
May mutilated Midshipman Baldwin;
Midshipman Wood seriously wound
ed MidshipmaE Barton; and the list
might be extended indefinitely"
The code of honor as 1t exists to-
day is Il survival Of that old dueling
spirit As already noted West
Pointers say that 1t no longer exists
at West Point. There is certainly
positive evidence that IT has sur
viyed all the more or less earnest eff
forts Of the authorities to uproot ii at
Annapolis. Such as 1t is. it is very
similar TO the "code"-which used to
exist, of course--at West Point in it's
unregenerate days, the code as de-
scribed by an army lieutenant. but
which he says was abolished in 1902,
1t is very, very much like this code,
only ever so much more so. 1t has
been amplifled. almost beyond recog-
milton.
In the case of young Branch it
was purely a personal quar:sl. A
personal fight and a class fight. ac-
cording to the code, are very differ
ent things. Sometimes a class takes
up a personal affair, but oftener 1t
does not. II a class fight in on and

New York. Aug. 23.-All other
events in tuiay's stock market were
completely oyershadowed by sensa-
tional upward movements in Reading
and Erie. On an enormous volume

period has probably exceeded that

existed a good sized short interest,
and today's early upward rush was
strongly suggestive of drive against
this interest.

however this but partly explains
