Point Investigation of the
Haztng of Young
ROOZ.

WEST POINT, N. Y, Dec. 19-Some
very interesting testimony was brought
out today by the court of inquiry which
Is investigating the alleged hazing OF
cadets at the military academy here i'll
connection with the recent death Of. for
mer Cadet Booz.
Thirty-f1ve cadets were examined today
and of these one was the brother of
Lieut. r. P. Hobson, CT Merrimac fame;
another was the son of Gen. Phil Sheri-
dan, and a third, Mark Brooke, of Penn
sylvanta, is nephew of Gen. Brooke,
who is the presiding officer OF the court.
All three told of the hazing they went
through during the encampment of 90
at the time Oscar Booz was their
classmate and not one of them said that
the treatment received or the things they
had to do were either brutal or degrad-
ing.
Hobson's worst ordeal was when he had
to stand on his head in a bath tub, in
which, there was about ten inches of
waters He said he Was partially slran-
gled, but was all right in a feW min

to ride a broomstck along the COM

keep shouting Turn, boys, turn all the
time. He did not think this was hu-
initiating, he said, although he did not
relish the task.

FARES OF CHILDREN,
railroad Official FnvOrs Char.ina ..
Them by the Inch.

Chicago Chronicle.
II is possible that before long children
travelling on railroads NAV be CHARGED
Tor at so much per inch instead of sell
ing them tickets upon the tine-honorad
age rule. Officers of the big transporta-
tlon companies whose lines terminate in
chicago say that one Of the most difficult
questions they and their conductors have
to lace Is the age limit in selling tickets
and collecting fares for children. At
least one general passenger agent is of
the opinion that children should be
charged fol according to their height.
lie says II would be much easier to reg
ulate the ufference in rates by this
method than by accepting the words OF
parents and others regarding ages.
There is absolutely no way In which
railroads may discriminate between chill
dren over and under age" this official
said. We are entirely dependent upon
the word of parents, guardians and
others in charge Of the minors, The
present rule is that children under five
years shall be carried free. Between
five and ten years half fare is charged.
Now, child under the flVe-year limit
may be unusually large for its age and
conductor may suspect an average.
Again a child more than five NAV be
unusually small for the age and be pass
ed, beating the railroad out of a. half
fare. If we should abolish this rule and
go by height 1 don't see that any ate.
hardship would be worked and the re-
quirement would be more fair to the
transportation companies Of course.
the parent or guardian of the children
might get the worst of it once in a while
under the new rule, as We do now under
the age limit, but I think 1t would be
more just all around. One thing is GER
tain, conductor or agent could not be
fooled on height as they are now ON
age"
