Performs: EyoIUiOns
During Trial. Trip OF Boston
Light---Exeeeds Contract
Speed Of 10 Knots BY Rather Small Margin
But BehaYes Beautifully.

Boston, Nov. IAN average sus.
tanned speed Of 1901 Knots per hour fol-
four hours with an average Of 125.S6i
revolutions per minute was maintained
by the battleship Rhode Island in an
other of her official tests off the coast
Saturday, the run being made straight
out from the Boston lightship. The trial
was satisfactory in that it exceeds the
contract requirements of 10 knots.
The Rhode Island was also subjected
to number of minor tests such as
sharp turns with the wheel hard over,
sudden stops and anchor trials, all of
which were gone through without the
slightest hitch.
The battleship left the harbOr, Satur-
day morning, and with two logs trail
ing aStern. started off in an east mort
east course, straight out to sea. The
four hours run carried her nearly 80
roles off shore and at times the logs
showed sDurts of 1910. or a triile over
th2t mark, and it was seldom that the
speed ran below 10 knots. The condi-
lions for the run were excellent, the
weather being clear and the sea smooth.

THE MISSING MRS. DEAN

Portland, Me-, Nov 1a.-Mrs. Mary A.

with the famous dress suit case, was
here and at North Yarmouth for some
time after the tragedy of the House
of Horrors" 1t was predicted that
sooner or later there would be a Port

at a somewhat late day.

her a degree of nOtoriety she is evident

and sister for Portland and when she

1t is simple justice to Mrs. Dean to
say that everything known here of her
up to the time Of the dress suit case
was to her credit. She had been fair
ly frequent visitor to Portland, and at
times was n summer guest. She had
and still has friends here and some

Ordered as the Outcome
Of Fatal Fist Fight
At Annapolis, Which Caused
Death Of MidshipHlan Branch.
Fight Was Outcome Of Breach Of Discipline
by MeriWether, Detected by Branch.

Washington, Nov. II. Secretary Bona
parte. Saturday, ordered a court mar
tial for the trial of Midshipman Minor
NJ. Meriwether, Jr., of the third class
at the Annapolis Naval Academy in
connection with the death Of Midship-
man Branch, which followed a fist fight
between the two naval students.
Secretary Bonaparte in his statement
Of the case, tells of the death of Mid
shipman James H. Branch, Jr., second
class from the effects of injuries re-
ceived in the fist fight with Midshipman
Minor Meriwether. Jr., third class. The
secretary recites the findings of the
academy boards of inquiry and inquest
and says:
Some personal hostility had existed
for some time past between Midship-
men Branch and MeriWether. Midship-
man Branch. in the discharge of his
duty, inspected the quarters of Mid
shipman Meriwether and is alleged to
have discovered there a suit of civilian
clothes Possession Of clothing of this
character by midshipmen is a serious
offence, under the regulations of the
United States Naval Academy. No re-
appears to have been made by Midship-
man Branch. Midshipman Meriwether
subsequently visited the quarters of
Midshipman Branch and became en-
gagged in an angry alteration with the
latter on the subject Of his inspection
Of Midshipman Mcriwethers quarters.
In the course Of this dispute, Mdship-
man MeriWether is alleged to have in
suited Midshipman Branch, applying
to him the epithets sneak and cow
ard After consultation with other
midshipmen, Midshipman Branch chal-
lenged Midshipman Meriwether to Il list
fight and the latter accepted the chal-
lenge. The fight took place on the even
ing Of Sunday, Nov ). 1t lasted between
an hour and an hour and a quarter
and was finally declared to be a draw
by the referee, having been interrupt
ed by the reported approach of one of
the officers. At the conclusion of the
encounter Midshipman Meriwether APP
peared to be the more seriously injured
of the two cOmhatantS, and went to the
hospital while Midshipman branch,
whose injuries seemed at first sight,
superficial, went to his quarters. By q
report made to the superintendent OF
the United States Naval Academy by
the senior medical officer and also by
the evidence taken by the board of in
quest, it is indicated that Midshipman
Branch received severe injuries to the
brain as the result either of blows on
the head inflicted during the conflict or
Of falls, of which several are said to
have occurred while it was in progress.
in view of the foregoing facts, a
court martial is hereby ordered for the
trial of Midshipman Minor Meriwether.

SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

A broken leg and a broken nose were
received by Mrs. Samuel Knowles in
n fall down the cellar stairs at her
home IN Lewiston.
Incendiarism is believed to have beer
the cause of the fire which nearly de-
stroyed the vacant house on upper
College street, Lewiston. The house Is
a story and n half building and is
owned by I. Simard. the Lewiston
grocer. Mr. Simard values the place al
fully $500. He has $1,000 insurance on
the house which will probably cover the
loss. On the day of the fire Mr.. 81
mard received an offer of $11OO for the
place but refused this amount.
The 18th annual banquet of the

at first felt convinced that the mistake
had grown out of an odd similarity of
names.
But Sheriff Pencil is a patient and
thorough investigator, and, Friday, he
sent Deputy Pickett to North Var
mouth a second time. Deputy Pickett
had rot been there long before he dis
covered that Mrs. Mary A. Dean of
Boston, had been there, and in an hour
or so was in possession of the whole
story including the dates given above
Deputy Pickett then telephoned to
Sheriff Pennell, but it is but fair to as
sumo that in addition to the facts al
ready related he added other interest
ing bits of information, and it can be
said that Sheriff Pennell acted prompt
ly ana at once left the city-presuma-
bly, to find Mrs. Dean if he could.
The presence Of Mrs. Dean in Hall
fax was little suspected as her some
what prolonged stop at North Var
mouth had been, but her picture was
recognized by people there, and, last
Thursday, she is said to have been at
Windsor junction, Nova Scotia, and
to have checked trunk for Portland
ling back, very Interesting fact under
the circumstances. It is quite possible
that she is tired Of wandering about
and Of hiding, and has decided to go
back to Boston and it was limited, Sat
urday evening, that if Sheriff Pennell
finds her she may decide TO go with him
to Boston without the Formally of
recognition. and that he had that
thought in mind when he left here.
1t is an interesting fact that she came
here, remained for some time, and then
left without having attracted any at
tention, or more than very languid
degree of curiosity on the part of the
people of North Yarmouth.
OF course nothing was known while
she stayed here Of her possible connec-
ton with the Boston case and she re-
ceived the kindly consideration and at
tention her physical condition warrant
ed and old friendship inspired.
