Cadet Witness Tells with Refresh
ing Candor Story on I'm
known Hero.

West Point, Jan. 18-The congress
sional committee will probably finish
it's investigation at the military
academy tomorrow.
The congressman have probed deep
~ into the hazing which has been
maintained at the cadets barracks and
camps for several years past and have
obtained a mass of evidence additional
to that adduced at the military court
of inquiry. They will make strenuous
efforts to wind up their work here by
midnight tomorrow, although it is not
improbable they may have to hold ses-
sions on Monday.
The fighting traditions were gone
into again today and some additional
information was cleaned in that re-
spect. Cadet A. j. Lynch OF New
York was thoroughly examined by
the committeeman, as he is looked
upon as an authority on fighting at
the academy. When General Dick be-
gan to question him, he became argu-
mentative and shook his finger at the
chairman several times when parrying
oOAlo VI UuO SouCAnA . cuOto' AAo
spoke in an insolent manner to the
general. He upheld the West Point
fighting habit and declared he would
fight any man of his size and weight
and said any man who would not do
likewise was not fit to go into the
army.
General Dick took all this with
great f%orbearance, but finally gave the
advocate of fistic science a sound piece
of advice.
Cadet Francis w. Clark Of Illinois
testified that he was opposed to haz-
ing and said the practice should be
abolished. He was complimented by
Mr.. briggs, who said that Clark was g
credit to the academy.
Cadet Louis Brinton was the mex
witness. He was asked:
"Do you know Of a man who was
received into the academy without
being hazed?"
II have heard of one case, but
cannot recollect his name. He was {

FOR NEXT SPRING
Stuart Talks Of His Fistic
Carnival at Carson
City.

New York, Jan. 18-Dan A. Stuart,
who arrived in this city today from
Nevada, said that Carson City will
have another pugilistic carnival next
spring. Stuart is satisfied that the
law permitting finish fights in Nevada
will not be repealed, and it is the only
place in the country where fistic con
tests Gan be fought to a finish. He
said that while in Carson City he ok
ahmed the plans for a new athletic
club house, approved them and that
work on the building will begin next
week.
II have two fights in my mind for
the carnival" he said. "They are
a heavyweight battle between the win.
ner of the Jefries- Rubin contest at
Cincinnati in February and Bob Fitz-
simomns, and a bout between Terry
McGovern and a leading English OF
Australian featherweight. I am con.
WINGED that Fitzsimmons will fight
again. I think that the public by next
spring will demand a meeting be.
tween Jeffries and the former cham.
pion. Of course, if Rubin should
beat Jeffries I would have to give the
preference to the Akron man."

A GIRLS PRANK
Runs Away to Make It. Ap'
pear She Had Been
Kidnapped.

Shell Lake, Wis, Jan. 18-Charles
Mueller of Chicago arrived here today
and will leave for home this evening
with his sister, Freda, who has been
held by direction of the Chicgno Police.
It appears that Freda, who is only Is
years of age, conceived the idea of
running away from home and making
it appear she had been kidnapped.
Her parents received, on January 4,
an anonymous letter to the effect
that something was to happen to their
home. On Sunday evening, the 14th,
Freda went into the woodshed for
some fuel and was not heard from
afterwards. Her parents Immediately
notified the police and it was supposed
she had been kidnapped.
On Monday afternoon Captain
Bourne found her on the road between
Barronette and here. She inquired
for the road to Clam Falls, but as she
was out of her way, Captain Bourne
took her to Shell Lake, where she vas
questioned and told a pitiful story of
how she had been kidnapped by two
Hull duu q WOl4oA LA OAAAOOSO3 PAoOOSA
in a closed carriage and put on the
train blindfolded. At Eau Claire she
said her abductors went to sleep and
she hid until their train had departed,
when she came on to Shell Lake.
District Attorney Mead Of this city
wired the Chicago authorities, but
they answered that the number she
gave as her home was a theatre. She
gave the name of Dora Allen wher
questioned.
On Wednesday the Chicago papers
that arrived here had a story that 6
girl named Freda Mueller of % Web
ster avenue was missing. When con
fronted whit this article she confessed
to Judge Mead that she was the person
and that her kidnapping story was {
fake.
She had $l3. so on her person whe1
searched.

Measure.
Washington, Jan. 18-The house
spent the entire day today on a bill to
refer to the court of claims the
claims of the William Cramp & Sons
Shipbuilding company Of Philadel-
phia, for alleged damages due to the
delay of the government in furnishing
armor plate and material for the
battleships Massachusetts and Indiana
and the cruisers New York and Co.
lumbia. The claims aggregate 81, 367,-
244.
The bill has been conspicuous at
every session of congress for several
years. It met with strenuous and de-
termined opposition of a portion of
the minority under the leadership Of
McDermott and Robb. A filibuster
was finally begun, but its friends at
length succeeded in having the pre-
vious question ordered upon the bill.
The house then adjourned. The
ordering of the previous question gives
the bill a tactical advantage in a par
~liamentary way, which insures a vote
on it whenever it is called up again.

SENATE PASSES ARMY REOR-
GANIZATION BILL.
GETS DEMOCRATIC VOTES
Measure as Adopted Varies Little
from Original Draft of
Committee.

Washington, Jan. 18-Just before 6
O'Clock this evening the senate finally
disposed of the army reorganization
bill. The measure having originated
in the senate, the final question was
not upon it's passage, but upon agree
ing to the senate amendments. These
were agreed to by a vote Of 43 to So.
While party lines we're drawn on
the measure, four democrats voted for
it, Senators Lindsay of Kentucky,
McLaurin of South Carolina, Morgan
of Alabama and Sullivan Of Missis-
sippi. Senator Hoar Of Massachu-
setts, who was detained at his home
by illness, was paired against the bill
with Senator Spooner Of Wisconsin.
The bill has occupied practically the
entire attention of the senate since
the third of January, when it was
made the unfinished business.
While the opposition to it at all
stages was vigorous, it never was bit
ter. Numerous amendments were
made to it, but in general the commit
tee was sustained and the measure,
with the exception of the elimination
of the canteen clause, is not widely
different from that reported to the
senate.
A determined effort was made today
to amend the bill SO as to provide
against the sale of liquor in the Philip
pines and to prohibit the importation
of n kind of intoxicants into the
islands, but it was defeated.
A notable speech was delivered dur
ing the day by Mr.. Hale of Maine.
who, while opposing an increase in
the strength Of the army, statec
.cogently his reasons for supporting
the bill. Every effort to prevent al
increase in the strength of the arm,
was defeated by a decisive majority.
AS the bill originated in the senate
it will now go directly to the confer
ence committee, appointed by the two
branches of congress.
