ELEVEN CADETS PUNISHED
Five Dismissed and Six Suspended al
West Point Military Academy.
HAZlNG AT BOTTOM OF TROUBLE

The Officers OF the Academy Upheld by
Secretary Root - Severe Measures
Taken to Stop Insubordination-Mem-
bers of the Second and Third Classes
Will BE Disciplined.
Washington, D. C.-The War De-
partment has determined to put down
the insubordination at West Point,
and also to put an end to hazing. Rig
orous action has been taken toward
the cadets who participated in the mu-
tiny. Five cadets have been dismissed
outright from the Academy. six sus-
pended. all for mutiny and breach of
discipline, and a great number Of
others, comprising, it Is believed. the
whole second class and part of the
third, are to receive such punishments
as Colonel Mills may choose to in
fict short Of suspension. Douglas
Macarthur, the son Of the General, Is
not to be either dismissed or suspend
ed, but will be among those whom
Colonel Mills will punish as minor Of
tenders.
Colonel Mills had q long interview
with Secretary Root, who fully sup
ports the Superintendent in his action.
Colonel Mills left for West Point i'm
mediately after his conference with
the Secretary Of War.
An official statement of the situation
at the Academy was made at the War
Department. It was said that the
cadets had been guilty of acts which
would not be serious In other colleges
or schools, but in view of the fact
that these young men were educated
by the Government, at Government
institution, to learn obedience, and to
learn how to command men and them
selves, 1t was necessary for them to be
under somewhat more rigid disci-
pline.
The trouble grew out Of attempts
to suppress hazing. Although prom
Ises of the suppression Of hazing have
been made, "bracing" still has been
carried on against the orders of the
officials. Glass officers have failed to
report cases Of "bracing." There also
Is the case Of Cadet Ralston, who was
reduced for not reporting misbehavior
at the mess table. These class Of
6cers were reduced and some. minor
punishment inflicted. The mutiny or
insubordination grew out of the re-
sentiment Of the second class men,
who have been at the Academy three
years, at these punishments inflicted
by the Academy officials. 1t took the
form Of such offenses toward the su-
perintendent as training the gun upon
his quarters and In other acts of
which the Academy officers could not
but take notice. This resulted in the
trials and sentences to dismissal now
approved by the Secretary Of War.
The worst feature Of the mutiny in
the eyes Of many army officers Is the
talk to the effect that the cadets had
threatened to bring political influence
to bear to secure the removal Of
Colonel Mills.
There are two other court-martial
cases in the Academy pending in the
department where cadets have been
sentenced to dismissal. There Is q
rule ut the Academy that a cadet in
vited out to dinner can oe excused and
leave the post. Two cadets invited
each other to dinner and made this
their excuse for absence. Their ruse
was discovered

Ballade IF a Stubborn Lover.
Never a kiss she gave him when
Swift she vanished from out his
sight,
Lost as fades in marish fen
Phosphor CLEANS of the witches
light;
Stanch was he and her faithful
knight
That indeed she could not gainsay-
Murmuring not at her sudden fight;
All willow, and welladay.
Back he turned to the haunts of men,
Mingled in with the bitter fight,
Caught the thread of the world again,
Never doubling in all despite;
knew no wrong that was not her
right,
Smiling still in the olden way,
Not resenting a fancied slight;
All! willow, and welladay.
Rocked she little in passing then
Whether on him would sorrow light,
Thus to wander from out his ken,
Fading and disappearing quite;
Though he bent to her beauty's-
might
Never a prayer had he to pray,
Curse on him for stubborn wight.
All! willow, and Welladay

Prince, when the bards of earth recite
They strike the chords and insistent
say,
Some will owe though the loved one
smite;
All! willow, and welladay.

the simple forms Of other years and
the entire celebration was conducted
with that modesty becoming the in
duction of peoples governor.
Nothing IN the program indicated the
Importance or significance of the
change, but when Chief Justice Cas-
soday administered the oath to Mr..
La Toilette he marked the transfer Of
power from the old war horses Of the
republican party to younger and
more aggressive element This por-
ton Of the party, held together
largely by the love and admiration
the individual members have for Gov
ernor La Toilette, has struggled
through many campaigns for the SUI
premacy it now enjoys. At first it
suffered absolute defeat; then fol-
lowed a partial victory when the
state convention incorporated Mr.. La
Follette's principles in the platform
of the party, and last November
came the triumph as complete as had
been the failure at the beginning.
And yesterdays Inauguration of Mr..
La Toilette as chief executive of the
state was a fitting end OF a long con-
test. Yet as he stood with appraised
hand before Chief Justice Cassoday

presided and in calling the assemblage
to order mentioned the fact that Mr..
La Toilette is the first native of Wis
consin to be elected governor, and
that he received the largest vote ever
given a candidate for that Office.
Then Gov Scofeld escorted Cow
elect La Toilette before Chief Justice
Cassoday and said: "Your honor,
now present Robert M. La Toilette,
who holds the certificate of election as
governor of this state and, as I under
stand it, is now prepared to take the
oath and assume the duties of Office. "
Then the chief justice said: ''You do
solemnly swear that you will support
the constitution of the United States,
the constitution of the state of Wis
consin, and perform the several duties
Of your office as governor of this state
faithfully and to the best of your abil-
ity, SO help you God?'
81 do" said Mr. La Toilette. Then
ex-GOv. Scofield escorted Gov. La Fol
lette to his seat. Following this the
other state officers took the oath, and
when all was finished the procession
filed back to the executive office.
At o'clock in the afternoon inform
al receptions began in the Offices of
the members of state administration.
The executive chamber, in which Mr..
Toilette and his party received their
friends, had been trimmed with flow,
ers, noticeable among the decorations
