MISSOURI STATE NEWS,
Hazing at the University of Missouri

6 ~ nv ShhNcAsbby VI hiSSou
The students of the University of
Missouri who hazed young J.. T.
Tucker on September 30 received their
punishment the other day. They were
reprimauded by President Jesse.
Seven of the leaders were summoned
to the presidents Office to listen to a
scathing rebuke by DR.. Jesse. The
boys used no force. but simply put UP
such plausible stories as to fool
Tucker. Two members of the dis
cipline committee stood for acquittal,
n vas in favor of expelling all the
leaders, and the fourth was in favor
of a light punishment. The punish
ment which was given was assessed
merely that the world should know
that the university authorities do not
approve of hazing. 1t now appears
that the Sigma NJ fraternity had
nothing at all to do with it. The haz-
ing was done by a bogus fraternity,
which was made up of students from
all departments.

THE CHASE INVESTIGATION.

Reinstate the Kansas Warden.
LEAvENwoRTH, Kan.,s April 27.-
There was report current here yes
terday that Gov. Morrill, is likely to
withdraw his order suspending Warden
Chase, so as to permit contractors fur
nishing supplies to the penitentiary to
secure their money. and if that is not
done soon they will cease to supply
food to the state. Under the con-
tract payments must DO made
monthly, but the order of the governor
suspending Warden Chase and appoint
ing Deputy Markham has only helped
to complicate affairs The deputy de-
clined to act as warden and Chase is in
full control. The board of directors,
under the instructions of the attorney
general, has declined to approve any
vouchers for pay and there the
case stands. The contractors have
not been paid for last month and an
other month is soon to expire, without
any probability of their getting their
money. Local merchants will appeal
to the governor to rescind his order of
suspension and it is thought that in
the light of the result of the investiga-
ton. he will be willing to do it.

WORK OF THE LAST CONGRESS
Over Twelve Thousand Bills introduced,
but Very Few Became Laws.

but Very Few Became Laws.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-According
to figures prepared by B. S. Platt, en-
rolling clerk of the senate, 720 bills
and Joint resolutions became laws dur
ing the third session of the Fifty-third
congress. Of these 215 were senate
and sos house bills and resolutions.
During the entire congress 12, 223 meas
ures were introduced in the two houses,
of which 2.952 originated in the senate
and 6, 271 in the house The senate passed
527 of its own bills, but only 239 of
these received favorable action in the
house, while of the I'll house bills
which passed the house 569 also passed
the senate. The president vetoed or
failed to sign twenty-four of the SEN
ate bills sent to him, while ffty-four
house bills met the same fate at the
hand of the executive. 1t appears from
this statement that less than per
cent. of the bills introduced during the
congress became laws.
