Academy Authorities Are Watt
ing Result OF Analysis OF
Suspected Sugar
RIDGLEY DENIES CHARGES
Inference That He Was Implicated In
Effort To Dope Middies Unjust

Pending the completion of the
analysis of the suspected sugar, and
the report from the Naval Medical
School at Washington, on the matter,
nothing further developed in the situ-
alton regarding the doping of the
Midshipmen s food today.
Announcement was made this
morning at the Office of Superinten-
uent Bowyer to the effect that the in
testinal trouble among the Middies
caused by the placing of some drug
in the sugar, had been checked.
C. j. Ridgeley, the commissary
steward. who has been suspended
from duty and put out of the Acad-
emy, along with William Harris, COL
ored, in connection with. the affair,
today protested his absolute inno-
cence of any connection with the
evident attempt to make the whole
brigade of Midshipmen i'll.
While the authorities still hold
to the belief that the whole affair was
the result of a scrap over the ap-
pointment of head cook, Midship-
men maintain that the doping was
done in an effort to lay out the
football team. and get sure thing
bet on the Army Navy game. In
support of this they claim that mess
and kitchen attendants have, in
several instances, bet all they could
scrape up against the Navy team
during the present season.

lively denies any knowledge of food

trusted employee at the Naval Aca5-
emy for eight years and have always
done everything to hold up the de-
partment. Being responsible for the
preparation and serving of food to
the Midshipmen, would be the last
man to tamper with it or counte-
nance such thing on the part of
anyone else.
Looking at it from every stand

no unpleasantness among the help en-

will bear me out in the statement
that never recommended the second
cook, w. E. Harris, for the position
of chief cook.
In defense of myself | wish to
state that this bowel disturbance has
existed from time to time since early

cause of the trouble.
No official statement has been given

WAR IN MEXICO
Resume Of Revolution Across The Border
Situation At A Glance

The revolution in Mexico has at
tained formidable proportions. The
southern section is cut off from the
capital, railroad bridges destroyed
and wires cut.
Gomez Palacio and Parral, which
had been captured by the rebels,
were retaken, after heavy fighting,
by fresh Government troops. Fight
ing was reported last night in Chi
hauhau and Cuatro Cienegas, and the
situation in the interior is believed
to be worse than the Government
will allow to be published.
American newspapers W th news
of the revolution are barred from
the mails, and some of the telegraph
lines are in Government hands and re-
fuse all other messages. The army is
said to be disaffected, and many de-
serters are reported.
A plot TO assassinate high Govern
ment officials, including Enrique
Creel, was discovered in the capital.
President Diaz was to be captured,
but his life was saved. No Ameri.
cans are reported to have been killed
or injured.

Friday Evening AT ST.

The Republic of Mexico is our south
ern neighbor, and has ever enjoyed
our sympathy and interest. When its
revolutions of ct and '76 were over
and in 1877 Porhrio Diaz was made
President, a movement was inaugu-
rated TO establish a national church
Of the Mexicans.
To this end an American citizen,
The Rev DR.. Riley, was chosen and
consecrated a Bishop for the Mexi-
cans. Consecrated bishop in 1879,
Bishop Riley resigned his See in
1883. From 1888 to 1904 those who
we're Of this religious conviction in
Mexico, held to it and had many
sympathetic friends In England and
America, but they had no Bishop and
diminishing clergy list.
Their appeals, which had been
made to each general convention of
the Protestant Episcopal Church,
every three years, finally were re-
sponded to. Their work was made
mission of the church and they were
given bishop, the Rt. Rev. Henry

That this church and the field of
work may be properly put before
the American people; one of the
missionaries from the States, work
ing with the native clergy, has pre-
pared set of lantern slides. He
has chosen to show the natural Won
ders and other beauties of Mexico,
along with illustrations of oppor-
tunities for church work. The
Rev. Allen Bureson has called this
lecture The Wonderland of Mex

At that time an offering will be
taken to cover Father Watson's ex-
