MORE BRUTAL THAN PRIZE FIGHTS
Scathing Report of Congregational Com
mirtee or Hazfng at West Point

Washington, February s.-The re-
port of the special congressional COM
mittee which investigated the hazing
of Cadet Booz and the general subject
OF hazing at West Point today was
submitted to the house OF representa-
tives by the chairman Of the commit
tee. Representative Dick. together
with a bill making stringent regula-
tons against hazing. fighting and all
brutal practices.
The report is an exhaustive review Of
the practice Of hazing In all its forms,
and while moderate i'll tone is, never
theless, a singing arrangement Of the
many alleged brutal practices enumer-
ated. 1t specifies more than 100 dis
tinct methods Of annoying and harass-
ing fourth class men. and describes
them in detail. One Of the funny for
nations described is hat practiced on

ed to ride a broom stick lin memory Of
his lllustrous fathers achievement at

The report states that a system Of
fightlng has grown I'D which is shock
ing in its character. The fights are de-
scribed and the committee states that
the West Point code Is more vicious
than the QueenSbury code. The COM
mittee hold hat fighting is the worst
form of hazing.
The report says that such fighting
as that at West Point Is a felony ac-
cording to the statutes in many of the
states, and the time has come when
congress must decide whether fights.
which are high crimes elsewhere, shall
continue at West Point.
The committee finds that Cadets Mac
Arthur, Broth and Burton were haze
into commissions. Others We're haZed
until they tainted. while others were
hazed until they were sick.
The hazing of Cadets BooZ and Breth
are deliberately treated. but the COM
mittee does not attribute their death
directly to hazing. The report adds:
But while we cannot fix upon haZ-
ing the responsibility for these two
deaths, the possibility that it hasten
ed them n the blot that it throws on
the otherwise fair and glorious fame of
the academy; it's conflict with proper
training and discipline. and unfitness
in his new century, urges the adoption
Of reasonable, yet We believe, effective
measures for its eradication and the
promotion of discipline at the academy.
The bill submitted contains eleven
sections against haZing, and provides
means for it's detection and punish
ment. Dismissal is provided for taking
part in a fight or a challenge, directly
or Indirectly, or for any form of annoy
ing, harassing or bracing of cadets.
Cadets dismissed are made ineligible
to appointment to the army, navy or
marine corps. Provision is made for
courts of inquiry. courts-martiaf,
closer association between officers and
cadets and other means for effectually
stopping the practice of hazing.

a Half Million Dollar Fire

Pittsburg, Pa, February 9.-The five
story brick building at Twenty-third
street and Allegheny Valley railroad,
occupied by the Armstrong Brothers
cork factory, was completely destroy
ed by fire today, together with the
foundry and machine shop Of the Tot
ten Hogg Iron and Steel Fodndy Com
pany on Twenty-fourth street, adjoin-
ing the Armstrong;. The loss will
reach almost $500, 900, with insurance
covering the amount fully. The con
f~lagration vas one of the most spec
tacular seen in Pittsburg for a long
time. The flames from the main build
ing of the, Armstrong factory, where
the fire originated, spread with aston
fishing rapidity and five alarms were
sounded in quick succession, calling
all the engines in the lower city to the
scene. Great excitement prevailed be-
cause the employees OF the cor fac
tory, numbering 1,500, were all at work
and it was feared that many of the
girls and boys in the building would
not be able to escape. Fortunately
the several escapes and the firemen's
ladders provided ample means for the
safety of all. In spite Of the firemen's
good work the flames jumped across
h street and ate their way into the
Totten and Hogg foundry and laid
waste the foundry and machine
shops before they could be checked.

ucation and the striking difference be-
tween them and teachers views in the
United States. WE read extracts from
a recent address by President Thomas
of some northern woman's college, and
he gave expression to views that are
too enthusiastic and famboyant to be
safe guides. We were gratiied, how
ever, to read that the women preferred
independent women's colleges" rather
than the mixed affairs-rne ~co-educat-

ed that over-two thirds are now open to
women. And still the women would
rather be to themselves. They show
more judgment than do the advocates

30. Harper's Weekly has never been
very sweet on the southern whites. 1t
used to most shamefully abuse it with
its lying cartoons and singing editori-
ais. Well, what does Harper's Week
ly say now of the negroes in New York?
We have not seen a copy in a long time
and are not sorrowful much. We find
in the Savannah News some account of
what is said quite recently in hat pub
lication that once so ~scandalized the
south. 1t says:
1.-The history of the negro in New
York city is reviewed from coleman
times to the present. 1t is shown that
his condition now is worse than it was
when he was a slave. or at n time
since he was given his freedom. His
opportunities for employment are less
and his material condition is worse.
Harper says and We take it, of the
north:
I'm 1850 he was the caterer. the bar
her. the bOotblack. the waiter, the
coachman and the Whitewater. In the
homes of the rich and well-to-do people
negro men and women were employed
to a very great extent as servants.
A of this is changed. There are
very few negro caterers now. n those
who do carry on the business have very
few customers outside of people OF their
own color. Barber shops conducted by
rovrnnS ayoanf for nnUrOaS are almost
unknown. White men have k the
place of negroes as coachmen and the
Italians are about the only bootblacks
seen on the streets. AS for whitewaSh-
ing, that is an occupation of the past"
