SURRENDER TO STATE COURTS
ACT OF Comfy ON PART OF
NAVAL AUTHORITIES.
David Williams to Be Tried on
Charge of Causing Death of
Harrison Foster.

David Williams. mess attendant of the
battleship Vermont. will be surrendered
by the navy to the Massachusetts state
authorities. He is wanted by them for
trial on the charge of manslaughter as
a result of the death of Harrison H. Fos-
ter, another mess attendant, following a
boxing match between the two men
aboard ship last week. The surrender
will be made as an act Of comfy to the
state authorities, the navy officials not
contemplating any further steps against
the man, as the naval inquest found that
he was not to blame for Fosters death.
Williams will not be surrendered for
the present, however, as the naval au-
thorities desire to make further investi-
cation to determine particularly whether
the officers and crew of the Vermont
contest exercised proper supervision over
the bout or permitted 1t to continue when
Foster was in no physical condition to
proceed.
Inquiry to Determine Points.
Rear Admiral Schroeder, commanding
the feet, has appointed court of in
quiry to determine those points. The
court will meet on the Vermont at Hamp-
ton roads. Williams, who had been trans
ferred to the battleship Missouri, at the
Boston navy yard. has been sent back to
the Vermont at Hampton roads for ex-
animation by the naval court.
Boxing bouts under proper supervision
and safeguards are encouraged by the
nava! authorities, but it is not proposed
to permit such contests to be prolonged
beyond the limits of safety. In the pres
ent case 1t is reported that Foster was
not knocked out by Williams. but met
his death by accidentally slipping off the
raised platform on which the bout was
held and striking his head on the hard
floor,
