He Sends One Hundred and Five
Cadets to Their Homes From
Culver Military Academy.

CULVER, IND, NOv.-One hundred
and five cadets of Culver Military
Academy were dismissed to-day for
combining to show their disapproyal
Of official action. In defiance Of the
regulation fOrbidding absence from
the barracks at night, they went in a
body to the train ON Halloween even
ing to see off two cadets who had been
dismissed. One hundred and fifteen
cadets. declined to join in the demon
station and remained in their quar-
terS. The Others left the grounds so
quietly that their absence was not
discovered until O'Clock, when the
officer in charge commenced his in
spection Of barracks.
The eommandant Of cadets rode i'm
mediately to the depot and after
some disposition to defy authority on
the part Of a portion Of the cadets
had been quieted, formed them In line
and marched them back to the bar
racks. Before sending them to their
quarters the c0mmandant spoke to
them OF the serious aspect Of their
defiance Of authority, commenting on
the fact that II was the first time In
the history Of the academy that such
a thing had occurred.
All day yesterday these cadets were
kept under military arrest but those
not concerned in the affair attended
duties as usual. The cadets are as a
body fine looking fellows, not one be-
ing under the army height Of 5 feet a.
~ is the finest battalion the academy
has had to sacrifice to discipline.
