GAME KILLED BY DISHONESTY
Columbia Professor Says Revision or
Rules Won't Save It.
EW TORK, Nov. 29. To dispose of
rumors that the action of the Columbia
faculty committee on undergrad.uate or
ganizations in abolishing football at Co
lumbia was taken merely to force the
rules committee to reform the game and
that the game may be rovlved at Co
lumbia when such a result is attained.
Dean George W. Kitchraay, of the Uni
versity Law School, made the following
statement today:
The action of the faculty. &a I understand it,
Ifl not aimed at association football or the
so-called Rugby game, but at the game
of football as it now exists" in our American
college. But this statement is not to bo
taken as meaning that the action of the com
mittee was taken, in order to force reforms
on the rule committee. There is no reason
to believe that the committee or that the foot
ball element in our colleges has any conception-
or the discredit into which this game
has fallen, and no reason. thM-rnr in ktw
for a revision of the rules that will have any
maicnai innuence on the game.
But the truth is that the worst features
of the came are such that no revision of the
rules wilt touch the dishonest, unsportsman
like spirit, which the game at present fosters.

board will take up the question at its
next meeting. I am strongly in favor of
a revision of the rules. I do not think
that .the game should be continued as it
Is at present played. It seems probable
to me that the overseers will call before
them competent authority and hear what
those heat in a position to speak have to
say about the situation. It may be that
a radical change in the rules is required.
and It may be that it is only necessary
to enforce the present julcs strictly."

Meriwether Tells About Quar
rel With Branch.
HIS BITTER REPENTANCE
Would Rather Have Met Enemy's
Fate Than Lived Had to Fight
or Be Ostracized and
Then Resign.
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Nov. 23. Midship
man Meriwether today took the witness
stand In his own behalf. His story of the
trouble between himself and Midshipman
Branch did not differ substantially from
the testimony of previous witnesses. He
told of having had a fight with Midship
man Humphreys, in 1504, In which tho
latter "knocked out'' the witness.
Speaking of the night when 'the feud
came to a head. Meriwether said:
"I went In Branch's room and the light
was turned on. I said that I had come
to sec him about what occurred. Branch
paid, 'You are a damn fool to come to
see me, you know that my class hatej
you.'
"I said. 'That is not so; you are the
only one who does.
"Branch asked, 'What if I dor
Calls Branch a Coward.
"I said. Then you are a damn, sneak
ing coward, and I will fight you. though
I am not In fighting condition.' I added,
'If you get up 1 will lick you.'
"He said, "You mean you will try."
"That's what I will,' I said, 'and If
you get up I will show you.' He did not
get up, and after a Uttlb further conver
sation. Jaegar and I left the room.
"I called Branch what I did because
I was told the custom was that a fight
would end feeling, and Branch had told
me he was going to 'bilge' me that Is.
make me fall, and I wanted to fight and
end the matter. I did not intend to fight
when I went to the room, but he again
told me that he intended to 'bilge me."
Meriwether's counsel then asked him
about his refraining from hitting Branch
during the fight, although allowed to do
so under the rules. The witness told
of two Instances of this, explaining that
he did not believe any blows should bo
struck In a stand-off fight unless men
are on their feet. He also told how he
foulrd and offered to give up the fight,
but the seconds would not allow it.
Details of Fight.
"After the quarrel with Branch.
said he, "Midshipman McKIttrlck came
to my room and told me that he had been
appointed Branch's second to arrange
a flght. I wanted Jaegar as mine. The
details were then arranged. During
the fight we first fell under the blinds.
About the 12th round I rushed Branch,
and both fell sideways through the
door. The next round Branch hit me a
terrific uppercut. It stunned me for
some rounds. I returned to his Jaw.
He threw his head back and I returned,
but swung my arm around his neck.
We fell in that position, his head
striking the floor.
"We were lifted up. My arm could
not be used for the next two rounds.
My left arm was crushed in a football
game about three years ago. Tho arm
Is still weaker than the other.
Meriwether then ehowed a deep scar
on tho wrist of the left arm. He said
a silver plate had been put there.
They Parted as Friends.
"At tho end of the 23d round," he
continued, "Branch oame across the
room and we both apologized and he
said: 'Afterwards we will be friends,
He then left and I have never seen him
since. We parted as friends.
"I could not go to breakfast the
next morning. I had to go to the
hospital. An orderly came and said
that there was a roan unconscious in
the halL He was brought to tho hos
pital that night, and Dr. Ames told
mo that Branch was doing wclL About
3 o'clock the next afternoon I was told
by a nurse that Branch was dead. I
requested an official investigation by
the superintendent. I was grieved be
yond expression. I think that Mr. Branch
was indeed more fortunate In .being
in his place, in going to sleep and not
waking up, than to be in ralno and
having to live this life after this sad
and deplorable affair."
In answer to a question, Meriwether
said: ,
"Would Have Been Ostracized.
"If I had not resented Mr. Branch's
continued actions, I would be in the same
position as another classmate with whom
no one had anything to do. Under thess
circumstances I would have to resign and
could never hold up my head again."
The prosecution then began Its cross
examination. The defendant was request
ed to describe "running," as Branch had
conducted it toward him. Pressed for di
rect answers as to what -Branch had done,
Meriwether said:
"I don't care to relate them."
Meriwether then whispered to the Judge
Advocate and the question was withdrawn.
It was evident that Meriwether hesitated
to mention certain things before the wom
en, of whom there were a number in the
courtroom. He then declared that he had
not been "ratty," but had unfairly ac
quired the reputation.
At the end of Meriwether's testimony,
the defense announced that it had closed
its case.
Fighting "Was Not Tolerated.
Captain George P. Colvocorcsses, com
mandant of midshipmen, was the first
witness for the rebuttal. He told of a
conversation with Midshipman Churchill
Humphreys, president of the second class.
In which he had told Humphreys that ho
was under oath to obey all regulations.
He. as commandant, took the stand that
fighting at the academy was against good
order and discipline, and would not to
tolerated.
"This." he said. "I think Is also the
view of Superintendent Sands."
Midshipman James R. "Williamson, of
New Jersey, a member of the first class
of the naval school, who testified before
the court-martial yesterday, was this
morning dropped from the Navy for gen
eral inefficiency, by order of Secretary
Bonaparte. The superintendent's recom
mendation that he be dismissed was made
before the Meriwether court-martial pro
ceedings began. Williamson was a lead
ing member of the academy track team.

SEATTLE, Wash.. Nov. The attempt

The launch containing the delegation and
the treaty left the warship and started
for the landing. Suddenly one of the torpedo-boats',
anchored near the end of the
line of battleships, slipped her cable and
started for the. launch. The torpedo
boat made for her at a right-angle course.
"The people on the launch saw the torpedo-boat
leave the line of craft and they
knew what was coming. The launch was
slow, and the torpedo-boat rushed on like
a comet. Like a shot from a cannon, she
rushed on and In a minute struck the
launch, cutting her completely In two,
and raced on Into the darkness. We could
see the men struggling in the water and

boat.
"Launches from the battleships were at

but one of the occupants. The treaty
was also saved."

NEW CHURCH FOR ST. JOHNS
Congregational Society Receives the
National Cash Register Building.
St. Johns Is to have a handsome new
Congregational Church within the next
two weeks. Not only will there be no cost
of building to the new Congregational So
ciety of that place, but there will not be
the long wait usual when a new building
Is placed under course of construction.
The, St. Johns Congregational Society has
been given the exhibit building used by
the National Cash Register Company, at
the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Through
Rev. E. House, D. D.. of Portland's
First Congregational Church, the building
was given the new society.
The problem of moving the structure
from the Exposition grounds to the spot
In St. JCFhns where services are being con

culty. The building was put up in sec
tions in order to facilitate Its removal.
It was brought here from St. Louis by
the National Cash Register people, hav
ing headquarters at Dayton. O. The cost
of removal from St. Louis to Portland
was J1C0O. and the building originally coat
in the neighborhood of live tiroes that
amount. Its architecture Is attractive,
but dignified, and, with slight alterations,
the building will serve very well as a
