latjon of the Constitution; that the

HAVING AT ANNAPOLIS. DiabOlical Fortune N1eteds Out to the

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The report of the Committee on Naval Affairs on the recent death of Cadet Frank s. Strong at Annapolis, submitted by MT. Cox, of New York, starts out witt the declaration that "there is no doubt that hazing has existed in many types, some mild, some harsh and some simply dia- bolical at Annapolis in spite of all denials to the contrary" The report says: eff these statements submitted to the committee are credible we need not wonder that some of these scenes are simply horrible. Boys are sent from the influence of pure home life to battle with sin and vice in all it's forms of hideousness at that academy dedicated by our law and money to the best education possible If such be the character of this school it would be best if it be broken up." As to the death of young Strong the report gives without endorsing the statement of his friends who believe that he was fatally hurt in an encounter with the third class by being put in barrel and rolled around until the s'hazing party chose to let him out. The report is accompanied by resolution calling on the Secretary for any information he may have relating to the subject.
