Never were there SO many black ties

Meeting of Parliament.
The arrangements were practically
complete for meetings Of the privy coun-

councillors could gather together within

WEST POINT AFFAIRS.
Congressional Committee Holds a
Meeting In Washington.
MEMBERS TO DRAW BRIEFS.
Informal Discussion Shows Them In
Substantial Agreement ON the
Necessity of Legislation to-
Put an End to HazinE.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The congression-
nj committee which is investigating the
hazing of Cadet Booz held its first SEES
sion since completing the taking of testi-
mony at West Point.
The meeting was executive and was for
the purpose Of laying out general plan
Of action. Chairman Dick expressed a
desire to secure unanimity on all essen
tial points, and to this end it was ar
ranged that each member should present
brief on the various questions investi-
gated.
The informal discussion disclosed that
all the members were in substantial
agreement on the following recommends
tons: Expulsion from the Military acad-
envy for sending or accepting challenge;
exclusion from subsequent appointment
to the army of any one dismissed from
the academy on account of hazing or
fighting; more tactical officers to give
greater supervision to cadets and closer
relations between these officers and the
cadets.
Members Of the committee said the tes-
timony taken abundantly showed the ne.
cessity Of legislation on these points. II
is said that the evidence disclosed that
dsmissals from the academy are often
followed by army appointments based on
the strong recommendations of members
of congress, and the intention of the com.
mittee is to make dismissal lasting bar.
rier to army service.
Further testimony will be taken if the
witnesses can be brought here in time
They include Cadet Cunningham, who
was the tent mate of Cadet Macarthur
son of General Macarthur, at the time
young Macarthur was hazed and for.
mer upper class cadet, now living in New
Jersey, to whom Booz is said to have
been Serving man" during the alleged
period of hazing.

points and will not be a general opening
