Saturdays returns in The Tribune's
Educational Contest were the largest
that have yet been recorded, with one
exception. The past three days have
all been good ones. The competitors
are all working enthusiastically, es-
peclally those near the top Of the list,
the leaders all striving to maintain
their advantage and those in close
proximity seeking hard to close up the
gaps separating them from others oc-
cupying moro exalted positions. The
only change in position noted Satur-
day was David c. Spencer, of Blooms
burg, who advanced from fifth to
fourth position, thereby displacing
Eugene Boland. who has held that
place for several days. David c. Brit
ley took a fresh grip on third place
by a good days work, and Charles
Rodriguez continued his systematic
record. AS the time draws closer to-
ward the finish of the contest, some
of the contestants further down in
the list may be depended upon to
make It lively for those now above
them, and it will be interesting to
watch the changes that take place
from day to day.
There still remain six weeks before
the contest closes, and the time for
entering was never better, as public
interest has been aroused and more
thoroughly stimulated than it was
during the first weeks of the contest,
and many persons have only recently
become familiar with the details and
merits of this competition.

West Point. n Y, Dec. 20.-The mill
itary court of inquiry into the subject
of hazing got through mass Of evil
dence today. The court expects to
have all the evidence collected by Sat
urday evening.
The name of former Cadet John T..
Breth Of Altoona, Pa, who it is al
legged died eighteen months ago as a
result of brutal hazing at the West
Point Military Academy, was associat-
ed with that of Oscar l.. Bopz in the
inquiry today. Rev. Father O'keefe,
the Catholic pastor, who was personal
ly interested in Breth, testified that
the young man never complained TO
him of hazing but rather seemed to
look on it as mere fun Breth was
discharged in January 1898 for def
cheney in his studies. The medical
records produced showed that Breth
was in hospital twice. first for week
when he was treated for external hem
orrhoids and the second time for
twenty-four hours when suffering
from a light fever. He was treated
another time in his own room for acute
Indigestion.
Superintendent Mills emphatically
denies that Breth was injured while
here.
The medical records also show that
Cadet Booz was excused from one drill
while suffering from acute diarrhoea,
and this is the only time which he
seems TO have been treated for any
trouble while at this post

Booz in preparatory school near Phil
