HAZED AT WEST POINT
ANOTHER VICTIM OF CRUELTY AT
THE MILITARY ACADEMY.
Frederick KenseI Alleged to Have
Been Injured i'm Various Ways by
Upper Class Cadets.

NEW YORK, March "a special to the
Press, from Boston, says: Another victim
of hazing in West Point has come to light
here through the resignation of Frederick
Kensel as a cadet in the United States Mill
tary Academy. Kensel will return at once
to his home, West Somerville, one of the
suburbs of Boston. The reason given. pub
licly. for Kensel's resignation is falling
eyesight, but from the family the real
cause has been learned. kensel entered
West Point on June IL, Of last year. Early
i'm July he was in the hospital on account
of trouble with his eyes. 1t was not the
season of study at West Point and he
never had difficulty with mis- eyes prior to
entering the academy. The statement made
by the family is that, while standing on his
head In a tent, which was the rule for the
'plebes' whenever an upper-class man en-
tered, kensel was kicked in the right eye,
possibly accidentally, by an upper-class
man, and was sent TO the hospital. Kensel
was not seriously hurt, and was able to
leave the hospital in a few days. Soon
after, while attempting to swallow a tea
spoonful of tobasco sauce, another delicate
little pleasantly, he chOked and ii spilled
over his handkerchief. He was blindfolded
with the same handkerchief afterwards,
and the sauce got into his eyes. This COM
PEELED him to return again to the hospital
on account of trouble with his eyes.
About Aug. u he was taken off the sick
list and his eyes had so far recovered that
he could resume his duties. Three days
afterward he again was in the hospital, as
the reports show, with stomach trouble
This is what happened to him according to
his own story: He was compelled to eat a
great quantity of rice, a couple of boiled
cabbages, sixty-three prunes and was also
compelled to do $50 eagles This drove him
into commissions. and a pillow or blanket
was placed over his face so that his cries
could not be heard. As a result of this
treatment the family believes the physical
condition of Kensel has been much i'm
paired. On account of his physical condi-
ton and the trouble with his eyes, which
necessitated an operation, he never again
was able TO do his full duty in the academy
and he had 10 resigr.
"Kensel was appointed by Congressman
Mccall. in 1899. He was born in South Caro-
lima, Oct. 4, 1877. He is the son of the late
Colonel Kensel, an old army officer, who
graduated from West Point n the ffties.
Colonel Kensel served in the Fifth United
States Artillery. in the civil war. In the
Spanish-American war Kensel. jr., served
In Company L, First Massachusetts Heavy
Artillery"

Two Attractions mt Empire.

The attraction at the Empire Theater
for the first half of the current week, be-
ginning tomorrow afternoon, is Harry
Bryant's Burlesquers. a favorlte with EN-
pire audiences. The programme this sea-
son Is said to be filled with new and good
features. The curtain rises on the richly
costumed opening bUrlesque, written by J..
ii. Perry, entitled "A Bargain Day." and
Is a satire on the modern shopping craze.
The plot is said to be original, the dialogue
witty. the situations funny and the action
pleasingly rapid. The olio introduces Perry
and Burns, the w~ell-known Irish comedians;
Leo and Chapman, comedy acrobats;
Bryant and Saville in a bright musical act,
Nolan and White in an up-to-date sketch,
songs and dances n the latest European
sensation, KENNEDY and Quatrelli, ~jugglers.

MISS LEMON TO SING
An Indianapolis Girl Who Has
Achieved sucess-Marine Band
Coming-MusicaI Notes.

The Thomas Orchestra concert at Eng
lish's Opera House tomorrow night, with
Miss Marguerite Lemon as the s~oloist, has
aroused more advance interest than any
previous local appearance of the great Chi
cago conductor and his corps Of musicians.
Mr.. Thomas has a strong liking for the
people of Indianapolis. particularly for
Mr.. John II. Stem, who arranges the de-
tails of each engagement. Mr.. Thomas
exercises the utmost care in preparing the
programmes for his concerts in this city.
The one to be rendered tomorrow night
bids fair TO surpass either of the two prev
iously given the present season. 1t opens
with Wagners vorspiel TO the brilliant
opera "Die Meistersinger," which COM
bines the principal themes of the opera.
Then follows B~eethoven's Symphony No. z,
OPP. 90, a bewitching melody first produced
in 1913 in the large hall in the University
of Vienna. This charming and varied pro-
gramme dips into the fascinating compost
tons of Weber for the Scene and Prayer"
from Der F~reischuetz.' The Norwegian
composer, Edward Grieg, is coming more
and more into popular vogue as his COM
positions are getting to be understood and
appreciated. The Thomas Orchestra will
perform, in it's inimitable style, Grieg's
symphonic dances, OPP. 81. Mr.. Thomas's
splendid orchestral arrangement of
Chopin's March Funebre' will be another
OF the delightful numbers. Gluck will be
represented by the "Divinities du Silk, AL
~ceste." A better selection for the closing
number OF a great concert could scarcely
be imagined than one of the brilliant Rus
sian composer, Tschaikowsky's rich COM
positions. Director Thomas has chosen
two movements, Theme with variations
and Finale" Op. SO. from the many or
chestral suites of one of the greatest must
clans of modern times. AS if the forego-
ing were not enough for a single concert,
or else in excess of prodigality, Mr.. Stem
has secured the services of Marguerite
Lemon. an operate singer of note, as an
extra special attraction. Aside from Miss
Lemons well-known vocal ability. the fact
that she was not so long ago a resident of
indianapolis will insure for tomorrow
night one Of the largest audiences of the
present season. The Thomas Orchestra
will probably never be heard again in this
city.
