WEST POINT STUDENTS
ABANDON HAZING

West Point, N. Y. Jan. 2O.-The con-
gressional investigation Of the West
Point military academy has borne
fruit rather unexpectedly. Last night
when the congressman were hurrying
their inquiries to n termination, the
cadets of all four classes held a meet
ing In Grant hall, and unanimously de
cided to abolish haZing of every form
as well as the practice of calling out"
fourth class men.
/ This Is exactly what General Dick
and the other members of the congress
sional committee have been trying to
impress on the cadets who have testi-
fled before them, as the only course
open to them if they desired to see
the fair name of the United States mil
itary academy unsullied and above re-
proach. The communication was adj
dressed to Superintendent A. l.. Mills,
who had just returned from Washing
ton, and he quickly brought 1t to Cen
eral Dick. The committeeman are de-
lighted at the action of the cadets, and
General Dick, in few words, said
that they would all go back to the
House of Representatives believing
that in spirit and letter the agreement

At the close of the session tonight
Colonel Mills, superintendent of the
academy, handed the following docu-
ment to General Dick, chairman of the
committees:
West Point January 10.
'To the superintendent of the United
States Military Academy:
Having become cognizant Of the
manner in which the system of haZing,
as practiced at the military academy
Is regarded by the people of the United
States, we. the cadets of the United
States Military Academy, while main-
taining that we have pursued our sys-
TEN from the best motives, yet realiz-
ing that the deliberate Judgment of the
people should, in Il country like ours.
be above all other considerations, do
reafiirm our former action abolishing
the practice of exercising fourth-class
men, and do further agree to discon-
tinue hazlng and compelling fourth
class men to eat anything against their
desire, and the practice of calling out
fourth.class men by class action, and
that we will not devise similar prac
tees TO replace those abandoned"
This was signed by the officers of the
four classes.

A Queer Outat,

The army transport on the advance
to Pekln was unique spectacle. Miles
of coolies, vehicles and animals trailed
behind the troops. Everything on
wheels, from farm wagons to fashion

The late Rev. Thomas X. Bcecher. a
brother Of the renowned brooklyn di-
vina was eccentric Ia many of his mo-
tlons, hut 10 one respect he was con-
sistent and most scrupulously prac-
ticcd what he preached. His will has
Just been admitted to probate. and II Is
found that his entire estate does not
exceed S3.i0o In value. The smallness
Of the amount is easily explained. Mr..
Bccchcr died March lilh last. lie was
known MS one Of the most charitable
men In his day. lie gave away nearly
his entire salary. $500 year. and
many incidents OF his kind deeds are
related 10y those who knew him best.
On one occasion n few members Of
his congregation becoming almost
ashamed of his dress, presented him

poor man. A second ovcrcoat was
then given to the minister and he pre-
scnied II 10 another poor man. When
MIR. Bcccher's friends gave him n third
oycrcont they made him promise that
