According to authoritative an

said to be nearly unanimous in sup
port of this reform The government
counts on an annual surplus of some
$1,000 600 and its income is increas-

country. 1t has, therefore, become pos

for years but heretofore precluded by

The telephones. if taken over at the

1t is hardly necessary to add that the
employees of the companies are anxious
to become the servants of the state,
knowing. as they do. that from the
government they would secure better
terms and greater consideration. Can

Great Britain in this respect The
telegraph was nationalized in England
about thirty years ago, and while there

1T MUST BE ABOLISHED.
House Committee Makes Full and
Singing Report ON Having
at West Point.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE report Of
the special congressional committee
which investigated the hazing of Cadet
BoOz and the general subject of haz-
ing at West Point Saturday was sub
mitted to the house of representatives
by the chairman Of the committee, Rep
resentative Dick, together with bill
making stringent regulations against
hazing, fighting and all brutal prac-
tees.
The report is an exhaustive review
of the practice of hazing in all it's
forms. and while moderate in tone is
nevertheless a singing arraignment
of the many alleged brutal practices
enumerated. It specifies more than
100 distinct methods of annoying and
harassing fourth-class men, and de-
scribes them in detail. One of the
funny forma atoms" described is that
practiced on Philip Sheridan. Jr., who
was compelled to ride a. broomstick Gin
mockery of his illustrious fathers
achievement at Winchester" The re-
port states that system of fighting
has grown up which is shocking in it's
character. The fights are described
and the committee states that the West
Point code is more vicious than the
Queensbury code.
The committee held that fighting is
the worst form of hazing. The report
says that such fighting as that at West
Point is a felony according to the
statutes in many of the states, and the
time has come when congress must de-
eide whether fights, which are high
crimes elsewhere, shall continue at
West Point.
The committee finds that Cadets
Macarthur, Breth and Burton were
hazed into commissions, others were
hazed until they tainted, while others
were hazed until they were sick.
The hazing of Cadets Booz and Breth
is deliberately treated, but the COM
mittee does not attribute their deaths
directly to hazing.
The bill submitted contains II Sec
tions against hazing, and provides
means for it's detection and punish
ment. Dismissal is provided for TAX
ing part in fight or challenge, di-
rectly or Indirectly, or for any form
of annoying, harassing or bracing of
cadets. Cadets dismissed are made
ineligible to appointment to the
army, navy or marine corps. Pro-
vision is made for courts of inquiry,
courts-martial, closer association be-
tween officers and cadets and other
means for effectually stopping the
practice of hazing.
