Washington, Jan. 18.?Lieut. W.
H. Langdon, American naval officer
who was shot and killed by a Japa
nese sentry at Vladivostok January
8, was the victim of an unprovoked
attack, dispatches to the state de
partment and to the navy depart
ment today agreed.
Both sets of dispatches were
based on statements elicited from
the accuser sentry by the board of
investigation . and court of inquiry

by lieutenant Langdon in that the
sentry was the first to fire. The sen

that the American officer fired
first, also was reported as having
told the court of inquiry that he
had discharged his rifle by accident.

Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 18.?The
Harvard's varsity track team which
had planned a southern trip for the
spring recess, will not go below the
Mason-Dixon Line as a result of ac

the Naval Academy. To a communi

The cancellation has ibeen made
by Harvard, Major Moore said to

matter was taken by him. When the
dates were arranged^ the fact that

Moore.
The track team will have a spring
