DOCTOR HENKEL SUES
FOR $4,000 DAMAGES
Claims Alleged Statements Greatly
Injured His Reputation.
DEATH OF WOMAN AN ISSUE.
Plaintiff Contends Remarks Connected
Him With Suicide Of Mrs. Margaret
aiuIphy Are False.

Mr.. James II. Murdoch, a well
known merchant Of Annapolis, former
member Of the House Of Delegates
and one time prominent in Republi-
can politics, and Charles j. Koch, a
businessman Of Eastport, are named
as defendants ia suit for $50, 600
filed ia the Circuit Court Saturday by
DR.. Charles B. Henkel, a practicine
physician and druggist Of this city.
The suit is by titling and while the
cause of the action is not stated it is
generally Known that it is based upon
slanderous statements alleged to have
been made by the defendants against
Dr. Henkel, and which, it il claimed.
connected Dr. Henkel with the cir
cumstances surrounding the death of
Mrs. Margaret Murphy, who commit
ted suicide by drowning herself in the
local harbor early one morning in
March of last year.
Mrs Murphy jumped into the
harbor from the pier OF the Tolches-
ter Steamboat Company, at the
foot Of Prince George street. A
heavy snow had fallen the night
before, and the unfortunate woman
was traced by foot prints that LED
TO the edge of the pier.
Attorney Robert Moss, who is
counsel for DR.. Henkel, and institut-
ed the suit 10 his behalf, confirms the
general character of the allegations
contained in the suit. He further
said that il will be contended thac the
defendants made most serious charges
against Or. Henkel in connection with
the death Of Mrs Murphy to the in
jury Of his reputation and which hnrt
him in other ways.
Charles IL. x )ch, one of the defen-
dants, is 81 brother OF Mrs. Murphy II
is expected that much testimony of a
sensational character, will be brought
out when the suits come to trial
Mrs. Murphy was the widow Of
the late Charles J Murphy, a re-
tired warrant officer of the Navy. A
mental breakdown. incident to i'll
health, was assigned as the cause for
her suicide at the time. Various
rumors. however, circulated which. il
true, would have demanded serious
attention at the hands of the authori.
ties These rumors were investi-
gated, though rather quietly, and
were not deemed of sufficient import
auce 60 warrant further action.

STIFF GAME OF BASKETBALL.

and Wrestling Events.

Naval Academy athle tes partici-
Fated in big round Of events Satur-
day. There We're two dual events in
the afternoon, basketball and fencing,
and the niddies captured he long end
of both, but only after hard fights.
And in the evening the interclass and
intercompany chan pionshps ih swim
ming. wrestling and gymnastics, were
decided before a large crowd of in
terested spectators.
The basketball team of st. John S
College, of Brooklyn, n Y, put up a
gallant fight, but lost to the midship-
men 55 to so. The New Workers
played a stronger game than any
team that has met the middies this
season. They were fast and played
together more consistently, but the
sailor lads had a shade the better of
it all the way. Navy's particular
strength lay in their greater accu-
racy in shooting for the basket, al
though the visitors were credited
with several long shots from the
court.
In general work on the field the
middies had little or nothing on the
New Workers, who were quite as
clever at the dibbling game as well
as lodging through opposing play
ers, but it was the keener eye of the
middies in shooting for the basket
that proved a telling factor in the
result. Both te ans played fast and
furious all the way. There was no
sign of letup on the part of either
at any time. The visitors realized
early after the opening of hostilities,
however that it would be a case of
an uphill fight for them, and despite
the fact that the middies sored al
most twie as many points in the first
half q to Ia, the college lads con-
tinued TO play hard and earnestly in
the second period, but there was no
stopping the middies, who did equal
Iy as we'll in the scoring line, as the
final count indicates.
All of the midddies succeeded in
scoring one or more field goals.
Smith, who mas been playing game
Of the star order, was a bit off and
only managed to register four goals,
and one from the foul line. McReavy
led in field goals with total of
nine. For st. Johns, Driscoll and

STATE TEACHERS WILL
MEET IN THIS CITY
Executive Committee Chooses An
napOlis For Annual Gathering.
BUSINESS MEN SCORE.
Representatives Of Chamber Of Com
metee Put Forth Telling Argu-
ments.

Largely as a result of che argu-
men;s made by a committee Of the
Chamber of Commerce, in which the
advantages of annapolis for such a
gathering were strongly set forth. the
executive committee of the Maryland
State Teachers Association, in ses-
sion in Baltimore on Saturday, chose
this city for the next annual meeting
of the Association.
The executive committee met at
the State Normal School and after de-
Gliding upon Annapolis. June %, 20,
&c and % were fixed as the dates for
the convention. All of the public
schools throughout the State will have
closed for the summer session by
that time.
It was urged in the arguments IA
voring Annapolis for the meeting
that the Association has not met
there for number of years, ani the
belief that many of the teachers liv-
ing in the more remote sections of
the State have been Ito the ancient
city 1t was felt that they should be
given an opportunity to see the points
of interest with which the city teens
and imbibe its historic associations.
The city's convenience to Balti-
more and Washington was also dwelt
on, and it was suggested that the
House of Delegates chamber might
be used for the occasion. The St.
Johns College authorities have offer
ed to throw open their buildings for
the use of the Association. A trip
down the bay and probably also one
to Washington are among the things
proposed for the entertainment of the
school marms.
The meeting was attended by these
officers and members of the execu-
tive committee: James b. Noble,
president; Charles F. Raddatz, sec
ond vice-president; Dr. r. Bergman,
tire asurer; Hugh w. Caldwell, secre-
tary Mrs. ]. F. Haywood, Miss Sarah

In the first of the seasons inter-
collegiate fencing contests to be held
at the Naval Academy, the midship-
men foilsmen barely pulled out vic
tory over the fencers of Columbia
University, of New York. The count
was 5 bouts to 4.
The midshipmen used nine men in
the series of bouts, while the New
Workers were Represented d by three
man team. The fencing was quite
spirited and the result of the contest
was in doubt until the final bout was
fenced, as each team had won four.
The deciding engagement was be-
tween Gray, of Navy, and Park. The
Columbia man was bested in his two
previous bouts and, naturally, made a
determined effort to secure the double
triumph of swaying the victory in his
teams favor.
But the NAVY man won out by d
small margin. Gray had been sub
stituted for Blandy, the Navy captain,
who was much below form and lost
his first two bouts. The first bout of
the match between the rival captains,
Blandy and Clough, resulted in tie,
but in the fence off the Columbia man
was given the decision. Northrup,
a veteran of the Columbia trio, sue.

Captain Clough did the same, losing
only TO Gray, while Dunn defeated
Clough. The summary:

SIMPLE CEREMONY FOR
JONES' FINAL BURIAL
Bones Of Naval Hero to be Placed
in Crypt Sunday.
MIDSHIPMEN AS ESCORT.
Memorial Sermon to be Preached BY
Chaplain Pierce Of Navy in
Chapel.

In formal order of the Navy De
partment, received today, Naval
Academy authorities are directed 60
hold the final ceremonies over the
remains of Admiral John Paul Jones
on the coming Sunday, when the cas-
ket containing the bones of the great
naval hero will be conveyed from its
temporary resting place in IA recess of
Bancroft Hall, and deposited in the
handsome crypt or mausolum con
structed i'm the basement of the Chapel
edifce.
The crypt is of marble and was
built at a cost of $4,000 an appro-
priation for the purpose having been
made by Congress. The ceremony of
Sunday will be Distinctly in the ma
ture of a memorial, and the authori-
ties have arranged to have il as sim
pie, yet digniied, as possible.
IL was not planned 60 have any
great display when the casket was
finally placed in the crypt, because
elaborate naval ceremonies OF an in
ternatior al character marked the
transfer of the body OF the distin-
guished Admiral from French soil 10
the United States. and their arrival
at the Naval Academy.
Because of this the departmental
officials chose Sunday as a day for
depositing the body in its last resting
place, and with a simple memorial
service to mark the occasion would
not, therefore, attract the crowds
that would gather if there should be
much Of a display
There will be present at the cere-
monies, however, the ecrstary of the
Navy and a number OF other digni-
taries, including Gen. Horace Porter,
who, while Ambassador to France,
was largely instrumental in locating
the body Of the noted hero, and ar
ranging for its r. turn to native soil.
Admiral Dewey, probably, will be
here, and number of high ranking
officers of the service also will at
tend.
The hour fixed for the ceremony il
lO:3O o'clock. At that time the
casket will be taken from Bancroft
Hall under escort of the brigade Of
midshipmen and placed in the crypt.
Immediately thereafter religious ser
vices will be held in the Chapel.
Rev. Ulysses G. Pierce, Chaplain of
the Navy, will preside over the SER
vices, and will deliver special SER
mon incident to the occasion.
