TRAGEDY AT ANNAPOLIS

Public opir ion will not concern
itself greatly with Midshipman Mer-
riwether, who killed Branch, his
fellow student at Annapolis in a
pugillstic encounter. Such sym
patty as the matter creates will be
on Merriwether's side. He was
practically forced into fighting
Branch, who had wronged and in.
suited him. Branch's death from
cerebral hemorrhage was an &C
cidental detail and is only mino,
exhibit in the case.
But an indictment should be
drawn in the Merriwether case and
1t lies against the system which pre-
walls at Annapolis, and against the
faculty which winks at, even if il,

STABBED IN THE FACE.
Mexican Musician lnfIicts Three Ugly
 Cuts on Companion.

Two Mexican musicians got mixed up on Juarez street, near the bridge Tuesday night, as re- suit one of them has a badly cut up face and the officers on both sides of the line are watching for the other fellow.
 Placido Grijalva, the wounded man, has cut over the left eye, one under same optic. and a third stab in the left cheek.
 Manuel Ibarra, who did the cut ting, came here in May, with the Treyif1o circus, quitting the circus at this place.
 Both men were employed in the Monte Carlo saloon, but Tuesday night had an engagement in the Sonora town and were on the way to fill the engagement when the altercation occurred.
 Grijalva is a resident of this side of the line and Ibarra lived on the Mexican side.

BAND ORGANIZED.
Nogaies Young Men Finally Get To-

Nogales will have a band. Oft agitated, 1t is now organized, and residents Of this section of Arizona won't have to send to Mexico for inspiring strains.
 The organization was perfected at meeting held at Armory Hall Sunday afternoon, when the fol- lowing officers were elected:
 K. ". Amsden, president.
 V. P Joaquin, vice president.
 F A. Athearn. treasurer
 Eduardo Estrada, secretary.
 About forty young men have signed the membership roll. Some of them are already good musicians and there are eighteen instruments represented among them Some of the others have never played be- fore.
 Prof. Juan B. Balderas, who has instructed musical organizations at Los Angeles and Tucson, has been engaged and is now here to take the leadership of the new band.
 It is the intention to have band of about twenty-five instru- ments.

Two Cases to be Appealed.

Captain Stephen O'Conno,, who was tried Saturday before Justice Gildea on charge of carrying deadly weapons, the matter being taken under advisement by the court, was fined $75 Monday. Captain O'Connor, through his at torney, W. A. O'Connor, has given notice of intention to appeal the case to the district court. Another decision rendered in justice court Monday, which will probably be taken to the district court, is that in which MT. L. B. Fleischer secretary is fined $25 on a charge of refusing to show the books of the Interna- tional Sanitarium Association on demand of stockholder. MT. Fleischer is represented by Attor- ney Frank J.

right to give it to whom 1 pleased, and if I did not own 1t, l can't see who suffered by the transaction.
 The company has never been a success financially and has al- ways been a source of expense and worry. After some four or five years the corporation was again some $2,O00 in debt, a new loan was made the old one cancelled.
 The only substantial allegation made by Mir. French that was in any way truthful was that 40 shares were given to Ramon Vas- quez and l.. B. Fleischer for ser vices. This was given in lieu of cash. and was authorized by the vote of three-fourthsof the capital stock at the annual stockholders meeting. Whether each stockholder had re- called to his mind by notice from the secretary that the stockholders meeting would be held on the regular date that is advertised in the art icles of incorporation and of which each stockholder was cognizant, it matters little, for three-fourths of the stock was represented and nothing was done that would not have been done had every share of stock been present, nor was there anything done but what was just and right. If as Mir. French says this mode of procedure is contrary to law, l can only say that l know that this is customary, and I doubt if a cor poration can be found that does not follow this custom. Under the law as interpreted by Mir. French, no corporation would be permitted to sell stock below par even by unanimous vote Of it's stockholders, and vet throughout the United States you will have. difficulty in finding u company that does not by resolution sell stock at 1-10 to l-100 part of its par value, and also issue stock in lieu of cash in payment for service. As to the other allegations of fraud and misn engagement, it can be seen how false these statements are by an inspection of the books which are open and at the service of all stockholders as French well knows. have nothing to say about the causes that inspired this suit Let the public judge.

w Guuc6udN 1uE 1tA9iS lVN1AAS SNs from Dr. w. F. Chenoweth, under date New York. Aug. II, 1905, the following communication;
 EDITOR TIE OAsIs:-
 In answer to the complaint pub- lished by Geo K. French, alleging fraud, etc. against the manager and directors of the International Sanitarium, although the books of the company can be seen at any time by any stoekholder, l desire to make this statement through your paper for the benefit of the public and for the benefit of those stockholders residing outside of No- gales.
 The Sanitarium Association was organized some ten years ago by W. F. Chenoweth, r. H Wells, et al., the two former being partners under the firm name of Chenoweth & Wells and they promoted and
 
 financed the institution, travelling all over the state of Sonora and southern Arizona, taking some two years time
 The association. through its stockholders, contracted for and erected on lot they had previous lv purchased, building at q cost of some SS,O00. Not having sufii- cient funds from the sale of stock, they borrowed some $3,000 from the Building G Loan Association.
 Besides their time and travelling expenses the firm of Chenoweth < Wells paid into the treasury Of the company some S2,000, cash. In several instances, i'll payment for labor on the building and services in lieu of cash, stock was given at certain fixed price. No stock was ever sold for more than 80 per cent of its value as per order of the stockholders, as was also the case when sold for less.
 The stock mentioned in the ar ticle published by Geo. K. French as having been fraudulently issued to W. F. Chenoweth, was issued to Chenoweth < Wells at various times and when the partnership existing between them was dis solved Chenoweth purchased Wells interest therein for cash, and that is all the stock he (Chenoweth) ever had, except that which he purchased from time to time from different stockholders, all of which cost him something over three thousand dollars cash aud couple of years travelling over the coun- try. | repeatedly offered it for sale for that sum without being able to get purchaser.
 Some two years ago l made my wife present of this stock and she, in turn, on her last visit to Nogales, presented it to Mrs. J. J Chatham. I don't see where the fraud in that transaction comes in, Certainly if I owned it, had a

TOMORROW DIAMOND N TEAM WILL 60
 FOR CHAMPIONSHIP.
Performance of Bisbee Jokers Raise False Hopes in Breasts of
 Old Town Players.

Tomorrow will be a hlack-letter day for Tucson.
 Tomorrow afternoon the hopes of Tucson fans for the champion ship of Arizona will be knocked higher than ever a batter knocked ball.
 The shock will be all the harder to bear on account of the false hope infused into the hearts of the root CTS of el pueblo anciano" by the performance, or rather lack of per formance, on the part of bunch of peg legs and wooden arms from Bisbee, who invaded the village on. the fiat last Sunday under pretence of wishing to play ball, but in re- ality for an outing. And, natural ", their outings" were longer than their innings"
 Tomorrow the Nogales pitcher and catcher will be two-thirds of the entire game. If they need any help 1t will De from the first base man. He may be called npon to look after an occasional Tucsonian, who, through an intervention of Providence, may be permitted to reach that corner of the base ball world.
 Truly, the good natured fumblefs of the dusty burg will think they are np against the three Hekaton- cheires-Kottos, Briareus and Gy- ges-the hundred handed creations of a well-greased Grecian imagin- ation. And the Nogales Briareans will also be equipped with the necessary number of Timber legs, the use of which they well under stand.
 There are number of other use- ] ful lads in the aggregation of which Docn Noon is dad" They are good batters and excellent sprint CTS. Their work tomorrow will consist of losing the ball occasion ally and visiting the different sta tions along the diamond route from home to home, while mem- bers of the Tucson team and their small boy assistants are endeavor- ing the retrieving act.

That Tucson people have finally commenced to realize that there will be a base ball game in that town tomorrow is evidenced by the following from the Citizen: 1t is realized that Tucson will have no snap with Nogales next Sunday at Elysian Grove. Bill Carpenter,

N EW HANDKERCHIEFS
A COLOR REVIVAL rs THE LATEST
FEATURE.
Written for The Star.

Written for The Star.
Hail to the colored handkerchief. most
persistent of eccentric accessories! 1t re-
fuses to be downedl After several sum-
mers OF alternate appearance and dsap-
pearance, it bobs up this year in radiant,
irresistible guse. One reason for its enor
nous popularity this season is the vogue
for white linen gowns, with lapels, collars
and cuffs of a vivid or pastel tint such
lavender, turquoise blue, old rose. pink or
green.
The tailored or semi-tailored suit almost
demands the little colored handkerchief to
match the cuffs and to peep from the mere
slit which serves as a pocket. When the
girl adds to this spats of the same shade,
she is truly smart Men and women alike
have both stopped to admire this daunt-
less little article, and then to lay in a
goodly supply to match their gay-hued
neck scarfs or daintily colored linen frocks
This does not mean, however, that the pure
white kerchief will be entirely neglected,
merely that it must look to its laurels and
keep pace with a most persistent and fas-
cinatng rival.
The unpretentious handkerchief for mi
ladrs summer is seven eight inches
square, finished with quarterback hem
and having III one corner a single initial
in script sh& ped by drawn threads. The
outline of the letter is secured by button
holing. Plain white handkerChiefs for men
are edged for two or three inches by the
old-fashioned tape border from an eighth
TO a quarter of an inch wide. The corner
monogram is tire merest outline of the two
or three letters.
Embroidery for handkerchiefs partakes of
none of the forid effects popular on
frocks and lingerie bodices. Hair-lne
scrolls the tinieSt forget-me-nots are in
closed inside the hem send their shoot
ing tendrils part way into the center of the
linen square. Clusters of wee blossoms in
close embroidery often shape an initial in
their center by leaving an unembroidered
space.
Many Of the exclusive shops are display
ing squares OF linen bordered with narrow
edgings of tatting in delicate star designs.
Narrow Cluny edgings are also employed eX-
teusiVely on the more costly handkerchiefs.
But with all lace trimming, be it Valen-
ciennes or tatting, net or Cluny, only the
suggestion of a frill is given by it's quarter
inch width.
Nevertheless besides the beauties of the
new colored handkerchiets even embroidered
mouchoirs lose their charm, and one won
ders how they could ever have been so
grossly neglected. But the colored kerchief
OF 1908 is only a distanct relative of the
vivid printed handkerchief of previous
years. 1t bears not even suggestion of red

tiny affairs of lace taffetas which
scarcely cover her royal shoulders. In
many costumes the cape Is of the same
material the skirt, some extremely
smart ones being of linen. Then come
the evening capes, which are visions of
loveliness. fashioned of all manner of silks
and chiffonS and many heavily incrusted
with lace. The little shoulder capes Of
linen and silk are often embroidered with
the English eyelet work and though not
appropriate for zero weather, are yet pic
turesque little affairs and quite effective
for miady's adornment
So much for milady's outer garments
now word for the inner apparel. Lin
gerie Is becoming quite as much a sub
ject fer style as tailored suits The shops
are cleaning with filmy whiteness for the
feminine delectation and some of this de-
serves mention. Nightgowns are made of
lawn and nainsoOk. with yoke and rufffes
of Valenciennes and embroidery The Eng
lish eyelet work is displayed on some of
the most exquisite underwear. while the
Irish lace, the German drawn WORK and
French embroidery are also seen here,
Chemises more than ever popular with
the sylph-like maidens of today and the
tirely by hand Corset covers. drawers and
skirts are fitted smoothly over hips and
about the waist so that the tailor gown
may not be distorted by bungling under
wear. Skirts flare widely about the feet
and ruffies upon rufIles adorn them. de-
cidedly new fad is for adjustable rufties of
silk. which are often of color and button
to the skirt underneath the lingerie fiounce.
These give a pretty color tone and display
to advantage the exquisite handtwork with
which the lingerie ruffle is ad 1rned.
Many new wash pettcoats of pongee.
madras, percale and linen are shown in
the shops and sure to be favored for their
good sense and economy. These are made
in most attractive styles, being adorned
with founces and ruchings Of a contrast
ing material or color.
In all milady's gowning she does not
forget the one-color scheme and seeks
everywhere for that touch of good taste.
There is possible no one way in which
she may so easily make or mar the smart
ness of a costume by belt If this
be of a color seen nowhere else in her
gowning it attracts criticism to itself and
thereby detracts from the force of the en-
tire outfit While the silk belt is still
worn, it is not smart as the leather
belt. or that of the material of the gown.
The suede belts are very popular for shirt
waist wear because they are soft in tex
ture and conform easily to the lines of the
waist. These are in all of the new mauve
and pastel shades and are worn with
buckles of mother of pearl or leather. The
buckles are colonial in design and shape,
many beautiful ones being shown.
