A brief setting forth the Govern

for libel against the New York World.
was filed in the Supreme Court Of the

maligning' Colonel Roosevelt. Presi-
dent TAFT, Charles P. Taft, one Of the
Presidents brothers: Douglas Robin
son. brother-in-law OF the colonel. and

in the city OF New York a newspaper
containing a libel, criminal under the
laws OF the state OF New York, and
circulated copies OF the same within
the Federal territory OF West Point -

TWO ARE DROWNED
OFF GIESBORO POINT
Third Member of Party
Missing From His
Home.

When Alexander CoghiU, Richard
Langley. and William Crismore left
Bailey's boat house Wednesday night, In
the rain and darkness with a boat load
Of pig iron. Coghiu and Langley went
TO their deaths.
Their bodies werc found floating op-
posite Giesboro Point this morning.
Near BY. partly exposed by the low tide,
was the big bateau they had used.
The third man. CrismOre. is unac-
countably missing. although his wife
has notified the police that he was at
home yesterday evening. which leads
the police to believe he left the boat
before it made its death journey
CoghiH is a plasterer, about fifty years
old. He lived at 1927 l. street south
east. Langley is a younger man, and
lived at 800 Fourth street southeast. His
body was identified at the morgue today
by his brother That OF Coghin was
identified by his sister
While the police accept the theory
that Crismore left the Inflated boat,
they are searching for him so see if
he can throw any light on the tragedy.
Harry D. Bailey, proprietor Of a boat
house at the foot of Eleventh street
southeast. hired the boat to the three
men Wednesday night He said the men
told him they were going upstream to
the head of the Eastern Branch for
raft of wood When they left his float
they headed I'm that direction.
What transpired between that time
ana the time Of their deaths is not
known. Mr. Bailey is positive they did
not go down the river yesterday. and
believes that after going upstream they
returned, put the iron aboard and start
ed to Alexandra to sell it.
When they reached the fats opposite
SiesbOrO Point, where the wind and
rain has full sweep. IL is thought that
the added weight Of the iron combined
with the filling of the boat with rain
water logged the craft so that il found
cred. taking the two men, who were
supposed to have been in the boat ct
that time, TO the bottom.
William Lewis. of Alexandria, was
cunning in the FOur-Mile Run marshes
this morning when he saw the bodies
nOatins in the river. He called the
W aShinEton police, and notified them
The police boat was Immediately sent,
hut the bodies had disappeared.
They were later found, but by that
time the tide had riser SO as TO conceal
the bateau with its fatal cargo Of iron
The boat has not been recovered.
The relatives Of the dead men We're
located by the police, who believe there
is no doubt as TO the identity Of the
men.
