PUNISHMENT FOR HAZING.
What the House Investigating Com.
mittee VIII Recommend.

WASHINGTON, Feb 6.-The special COM
m:ttee of the House, which investigated
hazing at West point, has practically COM
pleted its labors and has framed its report
and the bill which will be proposed as a
remedy for the evil. The recommendations
will be very stringent and IT is said that
to-day's action of the Senate in providing
expulsion from the academy and ineligi-
bility for army appointment, is exceedingly
mild compared with the legislation proposed
by the special committee. While the cora-
mittee withholds the details OF the report
until 1t can be presented to the House.
IT is understood that the recommendations
are along lines heretofore indicated, en-
bracing expulsion for hazing or for sending
or accepting a challenge. or for any partic-
ipation i'm a challenge or its results; closer
association between academy officials and
cadets with a view to placing full knowl-
edge Of what is going on within the range
OF the officials, and increased responsibility
for the action of cadets. and ineligibilfty
for reappointment cadet or for appoint
ment TO the army in case Of dismissal FOR
hazing. The stringent details of the pro-
visions are understood to give them addi-
tioual force.

CHURCH INNOVATION.
Preacher Who Calls for Saints and
Sinners i'm Big Advertisements.

ASHTABULA, o., Feb. 6.-The Rev. DR..
Elmer E. Whitaker, pastor of the First
Methodist Church of this city, has intro
duced an innovation in religious circles.
He advocates the use of large display
newspaper advertising, set in heavy black
faced type, as a means of increasing the
number of converts and the attendance at
church services. The first test which he
gave TO this plan had the effect of doubling
the size of his congregation. His second
tendance, $50. on Sunday evening, to 400,
which crowded the church.
DIR. Whitaker does not ask the papers to
print his advertisements free, nor even at
half rates. The newspapers do the work
We'll he claims, and they should be paid for
IL. He says the pastor who wishes to reach
the business men must place his announce
ments where the business men will see
them; the advertising columns catch the
eye of thousands who do not look in the
church notice departments. DR.. Whitaker
claims that TO be effectual the advertise
ments must be written in a style to attract
the reader In ten inches, double column,
at top of column and next to reading mat
ter, DR.. Whittakers advertisement recently
read
Wanted. few more saints: a few more
men; few more Methodists: a few more
sinners to become saints. Meetings to-
night at the First Nj. r. Church; subject:

WELL-MATCHED WRESTLERS.


NEW YORK, Feb 6.-For one hour and
seventeen minutes, Ernest Roeber, the
American champion wrestler, and the
French champion, Paul Pons, struggled for
supremacy in roped ring in Madison
square Garden tonight. They might have
gone on for another hour, but the arbitrary
order of Police Inspector Thompson, who
declared that ne would not allow the bout
&c go on after midnight, stopped the match
In most unsatisfactory manner at mid
night. 1t declared draw.
Pons held the upper hand at nearly every
stage of the contest, but he lacked the
cleverness of the smaller man, who was
never caught unawareS at any moment.
and Roeber, though by many years the
older and in stature far inferior TO the big
foreigner, more than held his own. That
the bout was on the level there can be no
question, and the 1000 people who left the
big building had only the warmest praise
for the athletes.

COAL MINERS WEAKEN
THEY RECEDE FROM THE POSITION
TAKEN AT INDIANAPOLIS.
Instruct Their Members of the Scale
Committee to Get Best Terms
Possible from Operators.

COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 6.-The first sign OF
a break in the stand taken by either side in
the conference between the coal operators
and miners came this afternoon, when it
was decided by the miners that they would
recede from the position they took in the
Indianapolis convention. At least, they re-
ceded to the extent of leaving the miner
members of the scale committee free to
make the best terms possible. subject to APP
prevail before final acceptance. This is ex-
pected TO simplify matters to a considerable
degree.
After the joint conference had spent the
greater part of the day in discussing the
resolution to put the run-of-mine basis inef-
feet in all States the question, after having
been once voted down, was referred back
to the scale committee. They were in
structed to consider the whole matter. The
conference then adjourned subject to the
call of the committee. 1t was at this time
that the first sign of a concession made it's
appearance, for the miners asked that the
time OF the committees meeting be nxed
for o'clock. that they might have oppor,
tunity for a conference. This was agreed
TO by the operators and the miners at once
went into secret session, resulting in their
leaving the question of fixing a scale to
their national officers and the miner men,
quired however, to report back their act or
approval before terms could be finally &C
cepted.
The scale committee held a very brief ses-
sion tonight and after appointing the fol-
lowing subcommittee to take up the scale
question adjourned to a. m. tomorrow.

The operators of the several States all de-
clared. however, that there is no probability
of such compromise.
