LONG ON ANNAPOLIS.
Secretary Says Academy Is Ready for
One at Any Time, but Depre-
Gates Such n step.

Washington, Jan. SO.-Secretary Long
has addressed a letter to the House Ma
val Committee relative to the pending
Sherman resolution to investigate hazing
al the naval academy at Annapolis.
He says:
Both the department and superintend-
ent of the academy would welcome any
investigation. 1t should be borne in mind,
however that such an investigation will
necessarily tend very much to demoralize
the Academy for the time being, end
probably for the rest of the spring term,
interrupting the course of study. No
complaint has come to me during the
time / have been Secretary of the Navy,
so far as l now recall, of any hazing at
the Academy. This to me is significant,
because parents and friends are always
extremely, and properly, sensitive in case
of any hardship or wrong, and had any
such case existed at the Academy, 1 feel
confident that complaint would have been
made"
The Secretary suggests that an investi-
cation is not usually ordered until in
stances OF wrongdoing are given and that
before final action is taken the commit
tee authorize him to summon the super
intendent to appear before il and If need
be, subcommittee visit Annapolis,
where every facility will be afforded. He
assures complete cooperation of the de-
partment and academy in case Congress
decides to investigate.
The letter to Mr.. Sherman is along the
same lines. He points also to the exag-
gerated misapprehensions even on in
vestigation that proves 90 have been I'M
justified, creates to the public mind, and
says the superintendent reports to him
that he does not believe that hazing as
an institution has existed at the academy
for number of years.
Even the cadet CODE" he says, FOR
bids laying hands on a fourth class man.
Tagging, forcing a fourth class man to
perform mental services, or forcing them
to fight, has never been a custom"

BODY FOUND IN A WELL.
EVIDENCE OF A DAsTARDLY CRIME
IN AUGUSTA.

Matthew Riley, COIOred, Had Been
Shot i'm the Back, stabbed in the
Neck and Over the Heart, Then
weighted and Thrown in Well.
The Crime Supposed to Have Been
Committed During Christmas-A
Negro woman and Her ParamOur
Suspectea-
Augusta. Jan. 3O.-The discovery OF
decomposed body in an old unused well
disclosed to-day brutal murder that was
committed probably about Christmas time.
The well is in an old field on Capt z. ].
O'Connor's place, about six miles from
town. negro CHANGED to be walking in
the vicinity of the well and noticed an
offensive smell emanating from it.
Thinking some animal might have fallen
in the well, he looked in and discovered
the body Of a negro floating on the top
of the water. He at once gave the alarm,
the coroner was notified, and the body
was gotten from the well. 1t was badly
decomposed, but was recognized as that
of Matthew Riley. There was a stab
wound in the neck another just over the
heart, while a load of SHOT from gun
had been emptied into his back
Either of the wounds would have pro-
duced death. A plowshare had been tied
10 the neck with wire and scratches on
the body indicated that it had been
dragged to the we'll While the weight
had been sufficient to sink the body in
the beginning. it had not been able 10
hold 1t beneath the water after 1t had
been swollen with the gases of decompo-
sition.
1t developed that the last time the negro
was seen alive was on Saturday before
Christmas. At that time he left the saw
mill on Capt. O'Connor's place, where
he had been at work. He had a wife in
South Carolina, and it was taken for
granted that he had gone to her. There
was no other explanation of his absence
until the gruesome discovery was made.
One of the suspects is a negro woman
with whom Riley is alleged to have been
on close terms. She has been seen at
Aliens station wearing watch which
formerly belonged to Riley. 1T is init
mated that a white man was also involt-
ed in the affair. 1t is likely that arrests
will be made in a day or two, as the
whereabouts of the suspects are known.

STRANGE PETS.
A Portland Man Fancier Mice and
Tells What He Has Learned of
Them.

Them.
From the Portland (Me) Express.
Out on Forest avenue is a mouse fan
cier whose residence, lest he lose caste
with his neighbors, is withheld. In
prison pen he has a half dozen or so or
binary field mice. They are the most
sociable pets ever had" he remarked,
land any one of them will rise to atten-
tion as he bears my step approach the
pen. | have had these young ones about
six months They don't live long when
cooped up, and they will come freely to
my hand to eat or drink. Some of them
are so tame that they will climb to my
shoulder and display not the slightest
alarm at being touched. They haven't
acquired so much faith in all humanity,
however. and have refused to trust any
one else so far.
while mice eat a great deal for an
animal so small when food is abundant
they can exist for surprisingly long
time with next to nothing. Any one
whose house has been infested with mice
and who had passed weary weeks when
everything that possibly could serve
them as food was carefully under lock
and key, finally calling to service an &C
tive ferret. will appreciate this fact. He
is a mighty aggressive and tireless Tor
ager after food, not hesitating at walls
or similar distractions, through whlch
he patiently gnaws path. AS a test OF
persistence in this line l hung basket
of food from the ceiling by rope, ana
after a weeks fasting placed mouse at
hole in the ceiling above the basket. He
descended some eight feet or more on a
slender cord and safely reached his haven,
later climbing up again.
IAN of my mice / have taken from
nests about the premises and notice that
they invariably seek shelter below or be-
hind something, never in so exposed 10
cality as almost any other animal would
select. For a nest, paper clotn' OF any
soft material seems to satisfy, and the
exceeding fineness with which it is chop
ped suggests some mighty artistic work
with their teeth"
