death of Midshipman Jas. R. Branch, Jr. of New York, a member of the class above him, as result of a pre- arranged fist fight which took place oil the evening of Sunday Nov. 5, last.
 The first charge is manslaughter in having caused the death of Midship- man Branch, but there are two other charges, the second supported by two specifications and the third by one.
 The second charge is of violation of
 the eighth article of the rules governing
 the navy. The third specification is
 that Merriwether applied to Branch
 the names of sneak and coward
 and second that he assaulted him. The third charge Is of conduct to the pre-
 judice of good order and discipline and specifics that Merriwether 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. Un-
 der the "code" every detail of these 1 fights is fixed midshipmen on duty ab- staining from reporting them and ex cusing from giving information O; those connected with thom. These facts were very clearly brought out both by | the judge advocate and in cross exam ination by Lieutenant Commander Robson for the defense.

TEACHERS GOODNESS
 PREVENTED A PANIC
A Threatening Fire in a School at
 Lawrence. Kan.

Lawrence Mass, Nov. 22.-All but one of 400 girls attending the paro- chial school of St Anne's parish, whose lives were endangered by fire in the building today escaped without injury, although twenty-five of them were caught in nets by firemen as they were dropped from the third story window by a teacher. Rena Drouin, twelve years old. was taken to a hospital suffering from the effects of fright and innaling smoke but it is thought she will recover.
 All pupils except those on the third floor who escaped by means of net, marched out of the building in good order when the alarm was given. The fire was caused by an overheated fur mace.
 Sister Mary, one of the teachers and ner twenty-five pupils who were on the third floor, could not get down stairs on account of the dense smoke. The teacl CT led the children to the windows beneath which the firemen stretched a net. Under the Sisters s direction, the girls climbed out over the sill and were assisted to drop and were caught safely in the apparatus held by the firemen. After the last child had been cared for, Sister Mary herself reached the street by means of a ladder.

 MT. Tarbell bore out in a measure the statement of Jas. H. Hyde, when on the stand relative to the fairness of Prick report. The subject of advances to the agents was under investigation, and MT. Hughes read some figures of the amount of advances to one agent in this city. Mir. Hughes asked where the Prick committee got its figures and Mir. Tarbell replied with marked asperity that he did not know. Said he: "They did not get them from my department or the auditors; they made their report without ever making an investigation of the department"

THE WOMEN
 OF ARIZONA
The Convention of the Fed.
 erdted Clubs
The First Days Work Crowned by an Entertainment of the Visitors by the Phoenix Clubs.

Over forty visitors are in the city attending the fourth annual meeting of the Arizona Federation of Women's clubs which began it's sessions in the Curio building yesterday morning. AL though in point of attendance the meeting is~not all that was anticipat- ed, nevertheless the first day shows that great interest is being taken in the work in all parts of the territory. The reports submitted were all given great attention by the delegates. and the discussions on various affairs brought to light the fact that the club women 9f Arizona are accomplishing much for the benefit of the territory
 The morning session opened with a conference of the executive committee of the federation and the presidents of the various clubs in the organization. At 1O:30 o'clock Mrs. B. A. Fowler the president, called the meeting to order. Governor Kibbey was intro- duced and delivered an address of well come to the delegates. In the course of his remarks he made several hum orous references to the weather and took occasion several times to refer to Phoenix as the city where the sun
 
 that rain had fallen since early yes- terday morning in no way limited him in his remarks along this line. The visitors were asked to doubt the evil dences of their senses, if they noticed muddy crossings or discovered the need of umbrellas and overshoes. It was all the fault of the city govern ment who had been careless with it's sprinkling carts. Seriously speaking the governor paid a pretty compliment to the federation and the work the various clubs over the territory are accomplishing.
 Roy Goodrich, city attorney, who welcomed the delegates on behalf of the city, spoke in a very pleasing vein and his remarks were well received. He called attention to the impending issue of joint statehood and asked the federation to devote some time to a discussion of the important subject. Miss E. w. Kendrick on behalf of the three clubs of Phoenix, the Friday club, the Womans club and the liar
