FEW ACCIDENTS
IN NAVY SPORTS
Death Of MidshIpman Following
BoxIng Bout viii Not Change
Status Of Pastime

Annapolis, Feb. 1o.--By an un-
fortunate coincidence the deaths of two
youths who had participated in ath.
letics at the Naval Academy have oc.
CURED within two days of each other,
but II is felt that neither can be at
tributed to the natural consequences OF
those sports or the manner Of conduct
ing them at the Naval Academy.
The overwhelming feeling Is one Of
regret over the deaths Of these young
men, one visitor and the other q mem
her of the academy student body. but
The Naval Academy authorities are also
anxious that there be no misundcrstand
ing as TO the circumstances and no un-
just criticism from any source.
Everard Appleton Smith was n mem
ber Of the Princeton water polo team
and played during portion of the
game against the midshipmcn on Jan
uary 20. He complained OF pains in
his head and was taken from the game
Later IL was found that he was too i'll

n local hospital. II was found that he
had a mastoid affection. and an opcr-
alton by specialists failed to restore
him.

man hurt during the game here. but
the coach Of the team, Mr.. Sullivan,
stated most positively that he had not
received any injury at any time during
the season.
On Saturday morning, Midshipman
Irving G.. Anderson died of a cerebral
hcmorrhngc undoubtedly induced by n
blow which he had received while box
ing the previous Monday. An operation
had also been performed upon him. A
rigid investigation was made of the
matter and all the facts were developed.
Midshipman Anderson, IL was found,
had been spending much Of his recrea-
tion period since November boxing with
the same opponent, one Of his friends
and classmates, n youth Of his own
weight.
In the bout on Monday, twelve
ounce gloves were used, but Andcr-
son received a blow on the upper por-
tion of the nose which proved hard
enough to break it.. IL clot Of blood
formed on the brain at a point slightly
above tho nose and a hemorrhage re-
suited. Anderson did not report the
matter until Thursday. On Friday, the
operation was performed and on Satur-
day morning he died.
The Naval Academy has been re-
markably free from accidents OF n scri-
Gus nature In connections with its
sports. This Is duo both to the superior
physical condition of ito students und
the precautions which are taken.

War Veterans Answer
Preferment Critics

lition Of Services

At the polls on November 8 voters
will decide whether Constitutional
Amendment No. !, providing for civil
service preferment for veterans. shall
be Endorsed.
The American Legion, the Veterans
OF Foreign Wars, the Spanish-American
War Veterans and kindred organiza-
tions believe it should be, and have APP
pealed to the people to make the vote
overwhelming in its favor.
Many arguments have been advanced
pro and con on this issue, with the non
veteran in the civil service leading the
campaign to bring about its defeat.
Charges are freely made that the war
veteran is seeking something for moth
ing and that it will lower the standard
of civil service to assign positions to
men who fail to rank as high as non
veterans.
Advocates of the amendment declare
that, this would be true if it properly
could be assumed that all eX-service
men and women were inferiog in men
tality to those with whom they are to
complete. In short, the argument Of
the veteran is about as follows, accord
ing TO one Of the leaders in the fight
Tor the amendment:
1--WE fought, endured hardships. suf-
tered losses in many ways because of
our service We have been given moth
ing in return, and ask that this meas
ure be adopted as matter of justice"

Murphy Leads Fight
For Bronx Chairman

WHAT is believed by many
Legionnaires of the Bronx TO
be the most important meeting they
have held in months will be that
next Friday night at the County
Courthouse, 161st Street and Third
Avenue, when the county committee
meets TO elect new chairman.
Under the Craftsmanship Of the
new state commander, William r.
Dcegan, the Bronx organization has
grown rapidly and it's Sctivities
have been marked by harmony and
cooperation. 1t will be the duty
of the new chief executive of that
unit to maintain this standard, and
the Bronx intends to make q wise
choice.
Three candidates have entered the
contest. They are Raphael Murphy,
Timothy Driscoll and Colone! Frank
Spender. Both Murphy and Dris-
coll were delegates to the state con-
ventiOn and are active in all Legion
work, and 1t Is likely either one of
these two will be chosen. Indica-
tions point favorably TO Murphy.
who in the early days of the Legion
recruited members in street
speaking campaign.

Miller Tells Legion
Truth About Bergdoll
Alien Property Custodian In
sists Seizure of slacker's Hold.
ines Wns Justified

Thomas W. Miller, Alien Property
Custodian and formerly q member Of
Congress, was a speaker at the recent
state convention OF the Legion in
Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Miller, who has been one Of the
Legion's most active officers, dwell
upon the case Of Grover Cleveland
Bergdoll, the Stacker. and in doing so
bitterly denounced the administration
which permitted him to escape.
Il observe" the alien property GUS
todian said, that some Of our states
men at Washington during the debate
on the peace resolution, questioned the
action OF the alien property custodian
IN the Bcrgdoll seizure. Let them not
forget that an enemy under the law is
one who resided in Germany or Aus
tria during the war; and who was not
protected by War Trade Board license.
Such was Bergdoll's status. The fact
that he Rad broken two laws in this
country ut two separate times and un-
der two different occasions, does not
make him immune from either Of them.
When the law is right and will not SUI
flee, then might is right This is our
answer to our critics, and welcome
the opportunity to deliver it. before
such an asscmbage.
"When Bergdoll fed to Germany he
placed himself within the scope of the
Trading with the Enemy act, and we
would have been derelict in our drtv
had we not carried out the law which
IS plain in its meaning and direction.
and seize the property Of this hagrant
violater Of our laws, who evaded mill
tary service at the time the country
needed men and who from his tenn
porary vantage point overseas adds to
mis- former crimes by uttering insolent
verbal attacks against this country and
its officials.

State Commander William F. Deegan
and his predecessor in that Office
Charles G. Blakeslee. have made spe-
cial efforts to strengthen the auxil-
iaries. in the belief that they are the
greatest cooperative agency the Legion
has. Their efforts, through Miss Saw
yer. are rewarded by an organization
larger than that of any other depart
ment in the Legion. Thus, New York
not only has the greatest number of
Isgionnaires, but also heads the list in
this regard.
The caucus Thursday will be merely
one of organization, although some
resolutions may be acted upon. State
officers will be chosen and a constitu-
ton and bylaws adopted. after which
the delegates will instruct their repre-
sertatives to the national convention
OF auxiliaries. This will be held in
Kansas City on October 81 and Novem-
Der 1 and 2, simultaneously with the
