NEGRO CONFESSES
 MURDER|NC NURSE
Sentries Protecting Black From Escape and From Attempts
 at Violence
By Associated rra.-

1 Annapolis, Md, January 19-Confesse1 murderer of Miss Harriet Kavanaush l naval academy nurse, according to De- tectives Bradley and Hammersla of Bal timore, Henry A. Brown, negro, is a pris- oner under heavy guard in the brig Of the naval training ship Cumberland. The guards on the training ship and the naval academy sentries pacing their posts inside the academy walls are pro- tecting their prisoner from escape ana from any attempt at violence from the outside
 Active hostility against the negro was manifest tonight. No formal charge has
 been preferred against him Miss Kavanaugh was murdered Friday
 night, her skull fractured in three places
 with lead pipe.
 Officials at the naval academy seem
 satisfied that with Browns confession
 they have arrived at the end of their
 investigation.
 Robbery was the only motive for the
 crime, Investigators believe. Brown had
 deserted from the Cumberland December 22, and had been in Baltimore since then.
 On Friday Ee returned to Annapolis, he
 said, with the intention of giving himself up He went to the naval academy with
 that in mind, he said, but there he de-
 cided to rob some one instead. He car ried a piece of lead pipe he had picked
 up near the athletic field, he said, and it was with this that he struck the nurse
 of the head.

 The amendment was attacked from five angles in briefs filed by attorneys for the opposition However, one was abandoned during the argument. It was first alleged that the constitution was net compiled with when the act submitting the amendment said the governor should advertise the election seven successive weeks instead Of eight weeks as required by the con- stitution. However Governor Kilby did advertise the election eight suc- cessiye weeks, thus complying with the constitution. Judge Tate insisted that this corrected the legislatures error, while Judge Crum said he doubted that the error was corrected The point was not insisted upon. Ar guments put forward in opposition to the validity of the amendment were:

 Governor Kilby has already adver- tised the election for February 8 as well as the amendment adding another qualification for electors If the su- preme court should decide the case against the state before February S., the election would be only on the amendment relating to elections.
