CURRENT TOPICS AT THE CAPITAL.
OF THE U. s. NAYAL ACADEMY.

WASHINGTON, May 10, 1914
The House Committee on Naval Affairs, in ODE
dence to a resolution, went to Annapolis on Frdcy.
to ascertain the course of study. the character of
discipline, and the general conduct of the Naval
academy. The attention Of the Committee was
particularly directed to the subject of hazlng. Upon
arriving at the Academy the Committee held meet
ing. and the officers of the Academy examined
as to the questions upon which information was
desired, the buildings aud all the machinery
and implements were examined, including
the Kitchens the dormitories, and the
instruction rooms The cadets drilled in
gun practice and in seamanship, two vessels
being at hand which the Committee visited. Admi
raj Worden, the commandant, said that he had not
heard of any late cases Of hazng. The summary
conduct Of the Secretary of the Navy who accom-
panied the Committee, in dsmisslng from the Acad
envy six or of the cadets for hazing had had
good effect the discipline of the school. Hitherto
| if cadets dismissed. it not difficult
| matter to have them reinstated, the same power
which obtained the original appointment being
sufficient to save the cadet from dismissal Thus
cadet once dismissed, and subsequently restored,
| came back with considerable ecldt, and became
something Of a hero among his elbows. Secretary
Robes0n, however 1t seems, refused To listen to any
such influences, and the dismissed cadet was sent
away. the discipline of the Academy being thereby
| improved The Committee propose to draw bill
requiring the summary dismissal of any cadet be-
heyed 90 have been engaged in hazine, aud also dis
