FAVORABLE TO Booz.
Testimony Before Congressional Committee.
Cadets to be Heard Tuesday
(By TIE Associated Press


Bristol, Pa. Jan. 5.--The Congressional
Committee which is investigating the al
legged hazing of Oscar Booz completed Us
work here late this afternoon and wiz
reconvene in Philadelphia on Monday
morning Most OF the testimony heard
today related to Oscar Boozs mental,
physical and personal characteristics
Every witness called spoke of the high
character of the young man. He was
considered in good health before he went
to West Point, and many persons testi-
fed as to his changed condition when he
returned from the Academy. 1t was also
brought out that he was proficient in
his studies.
The feature of the two sessions held
was the examination of Rev DR.. Alexan-
der Alison, pastor of The Bristol Presby-
terrain church at which the Booz family
worshipped. DR.. Alison delivered the
funeral sermon at the obsequies of Booz
in which he made what the committee
thought we're implied charges of severe
hazing against cadets of West Point
The committee had newspaper extracts
Of the sermon read to the pastor which
he pronounced as correct. The members
of the committee. especially Mr.. briggs
of New York, tried hard to have DR. Ali
son go over the statements in the SER
mon. This, however, he could not do
saying he based most Of his remarks on
what the family had told him and of
what he knew Of Oscar Booz himself. Dr.
Alison was closely questioned.
It was not the purpose of the commit
tee Chairman Dick explained to the wit
ness, to question his honesty, but on the
contrary they were trying to get down
to rock bottom facts
The committee viii probably finish it's
work in Philadelphia Monday and will be-
gin the taking of testimony of cadets at
West Point on Tuesday The commit
tees examination Of witnesses here and
at Philadelphia has been most searching
AMI the Congressman say they will also
make their West Point investigation a
thorough one.

SOLD TO THE READING
Controlling Interest in Gen.
trail of New Jersey.
J. Pierpont Morgan and Company Were Owners
Total Issue Of Jersey Central Stock
is S27,ll3, 300.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Jan. 5.-Cfficial announce
ment was made today that the controlling
interest in the Central Railroad of New
Jersey recently acquired by J. Pierpont
Morgan and Company has been sold by
that firm to the Reading Railroad.
J. Rogers Maxwell, the President of the
Jersey Central, is quoted as saying that
he understands that the minority share
holders VIII be offered the same price
for their shares as has been offered TO
the majority stockholders.
The Commercial Advertiser says of the
deal:
1T is understood that the terms are
that the Reading shall guarantee at least
six per cent. dividend on the Jersey Cen
trail stock.It is reported also that j.
Roger Maxwell, President of the Jersey
Central would be President of the Read
ing.
THE two roads have been working close
together for a year, having a perfect
agreement upon rates and the distribution
of traffic. The acquisition of ownership
by the Reading in the Jersey Central will,
however, have some further advantages.
For one thing the Jersey Central can be
made to carry most of the coal. 1t has
more natural route from the mines
TO tidewater and the Reading has been
gradually developing a large miscellane-
GUS traffic Coal was once 65 per cent.
of the Readings business. Now its busi-
ness has developed along other lines, SO
that only 40 per cent. of it's general busi-
ness is coal. The miscellaneous traffic
can be developed still further
The combination will take rank as one
of the few very large ones which have
ever been attempted in this country. The
size of the transaction is best gagged
from observing the figures of the Jersey
Central's bonded debt and stock issue.
Its total bonds are $47 1872. 800, on which
an annual interest of S2.361, ASS is paid.
| In addition, Jersey Central guarantees in
terest of 1881 ,632 on bonds of leased lines
amounting to $50, 1856, 692 These leased
lines include the New York and Long
Branch Railroad. the Lehigh Valley and
Hudson Railroad and the Lehigh and
Western Coal Company
/ THE total issue of Jersey Central stock
is $27, 113, 800.

a number of sharp exchanges with Mr..
hopkins, chairman of the Census Com
mittee, in which he sustained his reputa
ton as hard hitter and vigorous de-
batter The other speakers today were
Messrs. Shattuc, (Rep., Ohio); Kluttz,
Dem, n. c.; Fox, tDem., MisB); Suth
erland. Pop, Neb); Linney, (Rep., n.
O.; Olmstead, Rep., Pa; and Miers,
Dem, Ind.)
During the course of the day Mr.. Hop
kins expressed willingness to accept
an amendment to his bill which would
give an additional Representative each to
Florida, Colorado and North Dakota, the
three States with majority fractions un-
recognized in his bill. He claims assur-
ed victory for his bill, but the advocates
of the Burleigh Bill insist almost as
confidently that the Hopkins bill will be
beaten.
Mr.. Littlefeld began the debate with
an argument in favor of the Burleigh
bill Mr.. Littlefeld declared that TIE
Hopkins bill could properly be entitled
IAN act to cripple the State of Maine IN
her repres entation in the House and il
th48Electoral College" He resented what
he termed Mr.. Hopkins assault" upon
the State of Maine. That statement
drew from Hr Hopkins ain indignant de-
NAL which led TO sharp exchange he
tween the two members.
MIR Littlefield sarcastically called Mr..
Hopkins attention TO the men who like
Lovejoy and Fuller had gone to Illinois
to give distinction to that State. Yet, .
said he, the gentlemans speech yes
terday was saturated with pettifogging
assault upon Maine"
after sharper exchange than usual
with Mr.. Hopkins, the Char was obliged
to call the gentlemen to order and 10
call attention to the rule which provides
that the gentleman on the door cannot
be interrupted without the consent Of
the other ana also to The rule that neil.
bers cannot address each other except
by the second person.
Mr. Shattuc. :OhiO) followed Mr. Little
field. He insisted that in making the re-
apportionment the representation should
be reduced in all States where the right
to vote Is abridged. He claimed ten
States abridged the suffrage to an aver
age of 20 per cent. They were California,
TT per cent; Connecticat, 53 per cent.
Delaware, 1913 per cent Louisiana. As
per cent; Maine. 5.5 per cent: Massachu-
sets, GO per cent Mississippi, 40 per
cent North Carolina, 357 per cent,
South Carolina, As per cent and Wyoming
ga per cent.
Mr.. Kluttz, IN. Co. a member Of the
Census Committee, argued in favor Of
the Hopkins Bill The real question al
issue, he contended, was whether the
membership of the House should be in
creased. He favored 357 because he
thought the House was already large
enough and because on that basis there
would be no partisan advantage to either
party either in the House or in the Elec-
toral College
Mr.. Fox, (Miss.) replied TO the attsces
upon the Southern States, especially con-
corning the action Of his Stute in adoot-
ing a new Constitution.
Mr.. Linney (Rep., N. Co argued that
under their oaths to support the Con-
stitution members in voting upon the
