WILL CALL FOR INVESTIGATION.
Report Received From Admiral Sands
Tragedy Resulted From Adherence
to Academy "Code Of Honor"

Col. James r. Branch OF Richmond and
New York. accompanied by Mrs. Branch.
talked for long time with President Roose-
welt today about the recent death OF their
son, Midshipman Branch. at Annapolis. after
a twenty-tworound fight with Midshipman
Meriwether. Col. Branch went to Annapolis
and remained at the bedside Of his son until
the latter died. He declares that Meri-
wether was a much taller and larger man
than his son. and that the fight was brutal
one. He further asserts that Meriwether
took every opportunity to insult his son, and
that the latter was compelled. to preserve
his honor to resent the insults by a chal-
lenge to fight.
Col. and Mrs. Branch went from the White
House to the Navy Department, where they
had a conference with officials They have
demanded a complete investigation of the
entire affair 1t Is understood that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will direct that an investi-
cation be made.
A Glass affair of Honor"
Secretary Bonaparte has received re-
port from Rear Admiral Sands, superinten-
dent of the Naval Academy at Annapolis
advising the Secretary OF the Information
obtained by the preliminary investigation
made concerning the circumstances sur
rounding the death OF Midshipman Branch.
The report for the present is held as con-
f1dential but 1t is known that the Secretary
Is deeply concerned over the case and 10
giving 1t most serious thought.
There are indications that drastic action
may be taken in connection with the affair
at the academy. This action will be d.
rected rather against the system which OBJ
tains at the academy in connection with
these affairs of honor than against the
individuals connected with the unfortunate
tragedy. For II is alleged that the fight
was class affair" and that the prin-
cipals went to battle by direction Of their
respective classes. 1t is the opinion of some
naval officers here that the affair will re-
suit in a severe prohibition of particpa-
ton by the classes at the academy in any
of these fights.
Action Already Taken.
Admiral Sands telegraphed Secretary Bo-
naparte yesterday that Lieutenants Fitch
and Noyes of the cadet battalion had been
reduced to the ranks for participation IN
the unfortunate affair by which young
Branch lost his life. The regulations pro-
vide for the immediate investigation OF the
possibly recommend the trial by court
martial not only of the survivor OF the
prize fight. but OF the tmekeeper and the
referee. both cadet officers, and perhaps OF
the cadet officers who permitted the men
to withdraw from the supper line last Sun
1t Is stated at the department that while
the naval authorities have ample machinery
for any action necessary, they will not
throw any obstacles In the way of an in
vestigation which the local authorities
might desire to make.

TOTTENVILLE, Aug. 25;-Dur-
ing the past few weeks owners OF
boats along shore from here to ROSS
Vile have been greatly bothered py
river pirates who have made num-
erous attempts to steal all sorts Oh
craft or plumber them, but the crls-
is was reached last night when Two
of the pirates from ElizaDethport
stole the handsome new launch OF
Mason Decker, of Rossville. They
were making Off with it when DIS
covered by George Hardy and Arthur
Moran, of Rossville, who were re-
turning home from Boynton Beach.
They notified Mr.. Decker who gave
chase and and, after an exciting time
the launch was recovered off the
coal docks at Port Reading.
Hardy and Moran were walking
along shore whom they noticed that
Decker's launch was missing from
the stake where it is always tied at
night. At the same time they motto
ed that two men in a launch were
making the Decker launch fast to
theirs. They ran to the home OF Mr..
Decker and aroused him. The
thieves had a swift boat and were
rapidly getting out of sight when the
engine of their launch broke down.
Then they cut the Decker launch
loose, but not before they had spoil
ed the steering gear. Just as the
Decker party was approaching them
they managed to get the engine start
ed and escaped. The Decker launch
was towed back to its moorings and
made fast.
The police were notified about the
case and it is understood that detect
ives from the central office in New
York are to be sent out on the mat
ter. Word was also sent to Perth
Amboy and Patrolman Whitworth,
there seized a strange launch along
shore and held it until the Totten-
Vile police said it was not the one
wanted.

TAX LIST IN.
Must be Approved by the Board
Of Aldermen and Presented
Before Aug. 81.

A pointer received by a NEWS
reporter and by him communicated
to City Attorney Hommann this
morning will, almost to certainty,
prove to have been the only thing
which will result in making this
city's tax list for 1905 valid.
The reporter called Mr.. HON.
mann's attention to that section OF
the tax law which requires the gov
erning body of the city to approve
the duplicates Of the tax list on Oh
before the last day of August OF
each year in order that the tax list
may be valid, and that the work OF
the assessors may not have been in
vain.
Mr.. Hommann said that the tip
was correct and that that has been
the law for long time
Mr.. Hommann declared that he
would at once bring it to the atten-
ton of the aldcrman-at-large, and
try to have n special meeting of the
Board of Aldermen called some night
prior to August 81, probably Mon
day night.
According to the law the asses
sors must present a duplicate copy
of the tax list to the governing body
of the place, and, if not approved by
them by the last of August, the list
is invalid.
