Saturday, February 9.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Chairman Dick
for the congressional committee which
has been investigating hazing at West
Point today submitted the report OF
the committee to the house. The re-
port reviews the practice of hazing
at the academy and condemns it in
the most emphatic terms. The fights
under the West Point code are de-
scribed as more vicious than under
the Queensbury code and are described
as felonies according to the laws Of
many states. A bill making stringent
regulations against hazing, fighting
and all brutal practices accompanies
the report.
Taking up the Booz case, the COM
mitee states that his conduct at the
academy was strictly correct, al
though under the offensive class des-
potism it was viewed as meriting
chaStiSement

Con1moner Comment.
Extracts from w. }. Bryan's Paper

pledges made in our war resolutions.
The Cuban people would be benefited
by this good example. Our concern
for their future could be best shown
by setting them a pattern in all Of
our public affairs, showing them that
the duty of a republic is to enact and
execute laws for the benefit of the
whole people ana to protect the ma
tional reputation as carefully as CEe
individual would protect his own re-
putation.
The administration politicians will
do we'll 10 move cautiously in their re =
lationS with the people of Cuba. There
is nothing in the history of that peO-
pie, to warrant the belief that our M
ton can safely violate the pledge Of
the war resolutions, or deny the truth
of the statement that the people of the
island OF Cuba are and of right ought
TO be free and independent.

nit responsibility for it, The repubh-
cans have a perpetual copyright on
measures OF that kind. and Mr.. Levy

Can municipalities Exempt Corpor-
ations From Taxations

Columbia. s. c., May 1.-THE Consol-
dated Railway Company Of Charleston
has lost its suit against the town of Mt.
Pleasant so far as the lower court is con-
cerned. but the issue involved is an i'm
portant one, and II Is understood the
matter will go up, through the State Su-
preme Court TO the United States Supreme
Court, IL the state court does not sustain
the railway.
The town exempted the railway from
taxation; the road was built and after
being in operation for some time, doubled
its fare. The town council protested
without avail. Then the discovery was
made, that the exemption from taxation
was Illegal, and unconstitutional. In de-
Gliding against the railway. Judge Aid
rich declared the exemption Illegal, null
and void.
AS many municipalities have taken &C
ton similar to this as to exemptions,
there Is considerable interest in the final
decision. The fight will be made on the
right OF municipality to break a con-
tract of this kind into which a corpora
ton has entered in good faith.
