THE Booz INQUIRY.
Interesting Testimony Given in Re
gard to Alleged Hazing at West
Point Military Academy.

West Point, n. V, Dec. 20. Some
very interesting testimony was
brought out Wednesday by the court
of inquiry which is Investigating the
alleged hazing of cadets at the milf
tary academy here. in connection
with the recent death of former Ca
Diet Booz.
Thirty-fve cadets were examined
during the morning and afternoon
sessions and of these one was the
brother of Lieut. Richmond F. Hob
son, of Merrimac fame, another was
the son of Gen. Phil Sheridan, and
third Mark Brooke. of Pennsylvania,
a nephew of Gen. Brooke, who is the
presiding officer of the court. All
three told of the hazing they got dur
ing the encampment of 1898, at the
time Oscar i. Bcoz was their class
mate.
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 water. He said he was
partially strangled, but all was right
in few minutes. Young Phil Sheri-
dan was made to ride a broomstick
along the company's street in COM
memoration of his illustrious fathers
ride and he had to keep shouting
Turn. boys, turn" all the time. He
did not think this was humiliating.
he said. although he did not relish
the task.
In nearly every instance the wit
nesses said that all the more brutal
forms of hazing were obsolete, and
while 'bracing" was still practiced
secretly it was against the regula-
tiOns and if any one were detected
violating these regulations he would
be summarily dealt with and Sc
verely punished There are about
a score or more of Booz's classmates
to be examined and several of the
first class men to be heard from, as
we'll as some of the officers.

THE BIG WAR VESSELS.
sidering Bids Has Settled ON
Who Shall Construct Them.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The board Of
naval construction considering the
bids for the construction of battle
ships and cruisers has settled these
points:
One of the big armored cruisers
shall go to Cramps, one to Newport
News and one to the Unicn iron
works in California. One battle ship
shall go 10 the Fore River engine
works at Quincy, Mass
This leaves seven ships to be dis
posed of, and while, in view of the
fact that another meeting of the
board is to be held, it is not possible
to make the prediction with absolute
certainty, the indications are that
these will be distributed as follows:
One cruiser and one battle ship to
Cramps, making three for them; one
cruiser and one battle ship to New
port News, making three for them;
one cruiser and one battle ship to the
Union iron works, making three for
them, and one battle ship to the Bath
iron works. There is still POSSIBLE
ity that Moran Bros, of Seattle, may
get the battle ship slated for the
Union iron works or the Bath iron
works,
