the idol of the sporting public, out
pointed George Gunther, the Australian
negro fighter, in a twenty-round go

his hitting. The fight took place in the

NAVAL OFFICER
Was DROWNED
Stepped from Launch into
Water Because of Mis-
taken Idea of Plank.

New York. Oct. 14.-Ensign Andes
Bailey Butler. U. S. A.. was drowned
in the Hudson river today while re-
turning with three fellow officers to
his post on the battleship Rhode ISL
and in the line Of the great Atlantic
armada at anchor here for presidenti-
al review. In another accident on the
river six sailors from the battleship
Maine rescued eleven persons from
drowning.
Ensign Butler and his party had
spent the night In the city and were
on the way back to the ship in small
private launch. When fifty feet from
the eatsleship young Butler was seen
and went into the water. It is be-
lieved he thought mistakenly that the
launch had a sort of running board
outside the canopy as naval launches
have and that he intended to step on
this to make preparations for the
landing. The strong tide carried him
down and under the battleship. One
of his companions dived for him, but
was unable to reach him and was res
cued with difficulty. Buffers body
had.no been recovered at q late hour
today.
Butler was % years old. He was
appointed to Annapolis from Louisi-
ana and he was graduated last year.
The rescue in which the sailors from
the battleship Maine figured as heroes
occurred when a small launch in
which Bernard Bauer and his family
and friends were visiting the ship. was
cut squarely in two by the sharp bow
Of the bigger steam launch Vixen and

Perkins Puts Republican Chairman in
Annanias Club on Testimony.
New York, Oct. 14.-George w. Per-
kins. chairman of the executive COM
mittee Of the progressive party made
public last night letter which he
sent today to Charles D. Hilles. chair
man Of the national republican COM
mittee in reply to the letter Mr.. Hilles
read to the Clapp committee while
testifying last Thursday.
Mr.. Perkins calls attention to the
fact that the statements and charges
made in Mr.. Hilles' letter were made
deliberately, in writing and under
oath" but says the sworn statement
contains no proof with which to sup
port the charges.
"You state" Mr.. Perkins continues.
there was evidence on every hand of
the expenditure Of large sums Of
money in Mr.. Roosevelt's behalf-ex-
penditures which undoubtedly
amounted to not less than $4,000. .000.'
II there exists such evidence on every
hand why did you not produce it in
detail on the stand before the very
committee that Is SO anxious for ex-
actly this kind Of information
Mr.. Perkins reiterates his assertion
that the International Harvester COM
pany contributed nothing to the
Roosevelt campaign and suggests that
If that statement is not accepted by
Mr.. Hilles it is easily within President
Taft's power to order a governmental
investigation Of the harvester's books
and ascertain the truth.
