MIDSHlPMAN BRANCH DEAD.

Annapolis, Nd, Nov. 7.-Midship'
man James R. Branch, who was Sc.
riously injured in fist fight with
another midshipman, died today.
Midshipman Branch died from inju-
ries received in fight with Midshir-
man Minor Meriwether, Jr., of Louis
lana. The fight took place by arrange.
ment on Sunday night and was ,regu-
lar pitched battle, with a ring an6
seconds. 1t lasted twenty-three rounds
and ended when Branch was knocked
down and struck the right side of his
head against the floor.
Meriwether is in the hospital as re-
suit of the injuries he received in the
fight, and for that reason the authori-
ties have not put him under arrest.
The question of his accountability tc
the civil authorities on charge of man
slaughter has also been discussed. II
is understood that the fight took place
because Branch had, in his line of duty,
reported Meriwether for a breach Of
discipline. No one is allowed to see the
latter, but it is reported that he feels
the matter most keenly,

HUNGER GNAVS, REVOLUTION LURKS
Government is Notified That Unless Keller

lOW-Get No Encouragement.

London, Nov. THE desperate con-
dition of the poor of London was
brought to the notice of Premier Bal
four today by remarkable deputation
of the wives and other women relatives
of the unemployed who did not hesitate
to tell the Premier that unless some
thing is speedily done to lessen their
sufferings, there would be bloodshed.
Don't forget that hungry men are
desperate men," said one of the speak
ers, who all had the same tale to tell OF
husbands out of work and starving
wives and children. Enormous crowds
of women from all parts of London
marched through the streets headed by
a deputation which Mr.. Balfour receiv-
ed at the Office of the local government
board. Only thirty of the women were
admitted to the presence of Mr.. Bal
four. The Premier was very sympa-
thetic. He acknowledged that the evil
was very real but he had little to sug-
gest in the way of alleviation except an
expression of hope that public charity
would come to the aid of the unem-
ployed. He deprecated the socialistic
suggestion that industries should be
started at the national expense for the
benefit of the unemployed as calculated
to destroy the springs Of enterprise
and energy of the nation.
At the close of Mr.. Balfour's speech
of despair" as the delegates described
it, Mrs. Crooks, wife of William
Crooks, a labor party member OF the
House of Commons and several other
women excitedly invited Mr.. Balfour to
come and live among them for a few
months. The Premier remarked that
he was quite aware that nothing he had
said could be other than disappointing.
They had his genuine sympathy and he
felt most acutely the magnitude Of the
evil from which they were suffering.
A mass meeting of the women was
held later to hear the report of the del
egation. Mr.. Crooks, M. P, said that
Mr.. Balfour's reply to the delegation
was unworthy of the Premier Of a
great country. The mention OF Mr..
Balfour's name was greeted with a
storm of Kisses.

Do You Use Your Own Judgment?

Lion Coffee is a package coffee that
reaches the homes of the people just as
it left the factory where it is roasted
and packed.
The beans are picked and carefully
selected at the plantation, then shipped
direct to our factories to be prepared
for home use.
The most scrupulous care is taken
with every process, the utmost cleanli-
ness enforced in every operation. Men
and machinery employed in making
Lion Coffee ready for the market are
chosen on account of their excellence
and fitness for the work.
Some of the results of this scrupu-
lous treatment of Lion Coffee are a de-
licious flavor, perfect purity and uni
form strength and quality.
All loose Tor bulk) coffee is open to
doubt-to put it mildly. The buyer
does not know, the seller does not
know, where the bean came from, or
how it was roasted, or where and when;
how many hands handled it, what kind
of hands they were, what contamina-
ton it received from dust, insects, dirt,
etc.
Lion Coffee is pure, fresh and clean
that much is certain. Loose coffee
there isn't anything at all certain about
it except that wise housewives will not
buy it?
All grocers know the above to be
true. There may be very few left
who will try to persuade you another
way.
If they do, just ask them how they
account for the increasing popularity of
Lion Coffee in millions of homes for the
! past quarter of century.

Sew-JerOme TO Help Hearst.

| New York, Nov. 8.-That a bitter
fight will be waged in the courts to de-
eide whether George B. Mcclellan or
William Randolph Hearst is to be may
or of New York for the next four years,
is now assured. The complete returns
give Mcclellan a plurality of 9,485
votes, the smallest ever recorded for a
successful mayoralty candidate, and
result which might readily be reversed
by recount.
Mr.. Hearst today announced his in
tention to take an immediate appeal to
the supreme court, his managers hav-
ing declared that they had secured evi-
dence of illegal acts against 1000 in
spectors of election and that 10000
Hearst men who went to the polls to
vote for Mr.. Hearst found that their
names had already been voted.
Most of this fraudulent voting is said
to have been done in East Side assem-
bly, districts, especially in the Eigh-
teenth, Charles F. Murphy's home dis
trict, and in the Sixth, of which Timo-
thy D. Sullivan is the leader.
Mr.. Hearst's proposed action met
with warm approval in many quarters,
even among those who opposed his cleo
tion, and he received many assurances
of support. District Attorney jerome
expressed himself in terms of strong
approval Of Mr.. Hearst's program and
declared that he would Immediately in
stitute searching investigation of the
alleged Democratic frauds. He also
ordered the returns from the Eigh-
teenth and Sixth Districts to be care
fully guarded.
Ira G. Darrin, the newly elected dis
trict attorney of Queens county, on the
Republican ticket, made similar state
ment.
William M. WINS, the defeated Re-
publican candidate for mayor, also COM
mended Mr.. Hearst's action and ex-
pressed the belief that a recount would
show that Mr.. Hearst had been elected.

st. Petersburg, Nov. IA promi-
nent Liberal official was interviewed
today by the Publishers Press CORE
spondent, and he said the attempts to
fasten the blame of last weeks massa-
ere of Jews upon the bureaucracy and
the rough element of the towns where
the murders were committed are unsat-
isfactory.
The whole Russian nation must
shoulder the responsibility, because
z<public sentiment favored those massa-
cres, or at least regarded them with in
difference. Every one in Russia re-
CARDS the Jews as legitimate prey.
When the full reports are available it
will be shown that between $4,000 and
10000 Jews have been killed or injured,
while not an authoritative voice was
raised nNcondemnation. This is even
more horrible than the massacres them
selves, for it really presents doubts as
to whether the Russian people can sue
cessfulIy run their own government.
Certainly the Jews cannot hope to gain
freedom under liberal Russian Govern
ment unless they fight for it just as
Liberals are fighting autOcracy for
their own liberty.
