BURNAM TELLS or THE
TREATMENT OF BOOz
Blow In the Stomach Gave
Him Much Trouble.
WAS CALLED OUT TO FIGHT

His Opponent Was an Expert Boxer
and Punished Him Severely-He Was
Made to Eat Tobasco Souce by the
Spoonful, He Says.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1.-THE congress
sional committee appointed to inquire
into the alleged hazing of former Ca
diets Oscar L. Booz of Bristol, Pa, and
John Breth of Altoona, Pa, resumed
the taking of testimony at the Lafayette
hotel this morning.
The committeeman attached much i'm
portance to the testimony of today's
witnesses. The Breth family, which
firmly believe that John Breth died in
directly of hazing at West Point, and
Anthony Burnam of Frankfort, KY,
Booz's tent mate, were heard. None of
these witnesses testified before the mill
tary board of inquiry.
Burnam was the first witness called.
Oscar Booz, he said, was nice sort of
young man and up to the standard of
other cadets. The other cadets had
lot Of fun with Booz on account of his
name. The upper class men and a ca
Diet named Bettison in particular, Bur-
nam said, ordered new cadets to do va
rious things to see if the new men
would obey them. He did some things
asked Of him, but finally refused to do
SO, believing the third class men were
only trying to harrass him. He was or
dered out to fight by the "fghting COM
mittee." Burdam did not know any
members of this committee.
After the contest Burnam saw Booz
lying in his tent. He looked detected
and had been crying. Booz told him he
had been "called out' and that he had
received a blow in the stomach which
rendered him absolutely helpless. Bur-
nam said other cadets said that Booz
had 'laid down" The upper class men
kept taunting him, saying he would
make no soldier This was kept up un-
til he resigned. Burnam said Booz was
tired out by the routine of the camp He
said his opponent in the fight was an ex-
pert with his fists, and was a fine gym
mast. Booz studied very little on ac-
count of his eyes hurting him. On this
account he stood low in his class.
Oscar also told Burnam how upper
class men told him (Booz) to take tabas-
CO sauce. BooZ, said Burnam, was
given small bottle of tabasco sauce and
told to take all of it before he left the
table. He took it by the spoonful. On
one occasion Booz told him that he put
a lot of the sauce on piece of steak in
tending not to eat it. An upper class
man noticed this and ordered Booz to
eat the steak. Oscar told Burnam the
stuff was running his stomach.

TIONMENT
BILL TO Be VOTED ON
House Sets the Date For the
Final Struggle.
SUPPORTS HOPKINS BILL

Kitchen Speaks In Favor of That
ney's Attack on Southern Democrats
For Disfranchising the Negroes.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Speaker Hen
derson today was again detained at his
home by illness and Mr., Dalzeu, OF
Pennsylvania, presided over the house.
Before the debate upon the reappor-
tionment bill was resumed it was
agreed that general debate upon the
bill should close tomorrow at 3 o'clock
and that the final vote should be taken
before the adjournment tomorrow.
Mr.. Kitchen of North Carolina, the
first speaker today, supported the Hop
kins bill, but said he would vote against
the amendment requiring the congress
sional districts in the several states to
be contiguous and compact. He said
he did not believe congress had the
power to designate the manner in which
the states should make up congressional
districts.
Mr. Kitchen then replied at some
length to the speech made by Mr.. Lin
ney of North Carolina, last Saturday,
attacking the southern Democrats for
DISTINGUISHING the negro.
Mr.. Lacey of Iowa, who followed Mr..
Kitchen, also supported the Hopkins
bill.
Mr.. Crumpacker of Indiana, the mem
ber of the census committee who pre-
sented the minority report in favor of
reducing the representation in southern
states prOpOrtiOnate to the abridpemeut
of the franchise, then took the floor for
an hour. AS between the Hopkins and
Burleigh bills, he said, he favored the
latter because it kept pace with the
growth of the country.
He argued that during recent years
the influence Of the house III legislation
had steadily dininised, condition due
to the fact that the members of the
lower house allowed themselves to be
dominated by the senate and the chief
executive. If the membership was to
remain stationery as the ,Jears went on

mercial establishment that bears his
name, died at his home, 2l15 Prairie

A muscular affection of the heart.
known to the medical profession as nv.
ocarditis, was the immediate cause of
death. He had been slowly recovering
from pneumonia that for three weeks
had threatened his life. Early in the
morning his heart gave way under the
strain of his recent illness, his pulse
running up to 103. That was the begin.
ming of the end. He retained conscious

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Port Royal

physical data collected by it. The board
has signified very strongly to the people
of Charleston, through Mayor Smythe,
that an indispensable requirement to the
location of the station at their town is a
radical change in the quarantine sys-

by the city authorities, has very much
vexed and obstructed the naval officers
whenever they had occasion to enter
Charleston harbor, and the regulations
must be amended if the naval station is
to be located.
The mayor is consulting with the

w. C. Norman, who was In town

10 the vicinity Of Illipah fully 1000 wild
horses. and as these animals easily
travel fifteen miles TO water, they
range over a wide extent OF territory
and interfere seriously with the stock
raising industry. The amount OF feed
which these horses require would sus-
tain more than an equal number OF
tame animals, but there appears to be
no way. under the present law, OF rid

Here Is an opportunity for some OF

horses on the ground 1t might be pos
sible TO run these animals down, and,

would prove profitable, as there is 8

JUMPED A WHISKY BILL
Young Salt Lake Man Taught .
Wholesome Lesson.

A young man named Wallace Niehol,
who has been employed as rlVeter at
the Chairman, attempted to leave
town surreptitiously yesterday MORN
ing without paying his bills, but vas
brought back aud made to settle. 1t
seems that Nichol has cultivated an alb
normal appetite for red liquor. aud dur
ing his short stay at Lane City ran a
saloon bill with Peter ZuniDo amount
ing to something over s47. After haF-
ing been paid OF the young man ssun-
tered down the road yesterday morn
ing, and at point below town be hail
ed the Cherry Creek stage; but just as
he was taking his seat Sheriff New man
appeared on the scene and brought him
back TO town. Ii seems Mr.. Zunino
had been informed OF his debtors in-
tended departure, and coming down to
Ely made complaint before Judge Tyler
who promptly issued summons With
order OF arrest attached and the Sher-
III promptly went in search of the Of
fender.
When arraigned for trial Nichol
pleaded that be was not yet 81 years of
age and consequently the saloon keeper
had no right to sell him liquor, but the
Court held that even II be was not OF
age it appeared that he was old enough
to drink more than bis share OF intoxi-
cants, and it was only right that he
should pay for his indulgence OF de-
prsved appetite.
The young man finally produced the
amount OF his indebtedness, and Was
discharged, the costs being paid By
Mr.. Zunino.
