said, also made an improper remark to an upper class man when spoken to, and in consequence of all three causes he was "called out"
 Cadet Bettison was on the stand for over five hours, and prior to being excused Chairman Dick asked him if he had any, thing further to say. He replied
 T want to say, sir, that the difference between the hazing of a man here and at colleges is that in colleges freshmen are hazed by sophomores in a spirit of mis- chief and sometimes hands are laid on them brutally. We never lay hands on a man except in case of a fight. Our hazing Is specifically for the purpose of making a fourth classman realize the necessity of prompt and unquestioned obedience.
 The committee adjourned until 7:30 o'clock.
 The committee resumed the investigation at TAO p. m., and Cadet William P. Ennis of Colorado a cadet-at-large, who stands fourteenth in the present first class, was called.
 He was class president of the first class during the summer encampment of '98 He said there were six fights in that year. Most of the fights of the post took place on Sat- urday or Sunday afternoon.
 The witness had rather bad quarter of an hour with MT. Driggs, who questioned him in regard to the former cadets, Albert and Huetzler. Ennis acknowledged that he said it would be good thing to give these men a sufficient number of marks to force them out of the academy. Both of them are now out of the academy, Huetzler on account of demerits and Albert for deff1- ciency in studies.
 Ennis made no secret of the fact that he felt that the men should be got rid of, and reiterated his sentiment very distinctly on the stand in reply to Consressmen Driggs, Wanger and Clayton. He was in a position as corporal of the company to report infrad- tions on the part of Albert, and 7fd so oh every occasion, but never unfairly or un- justly. The witness, in reply to Congress- man Smith. again made similar statements, much to the surprise of many who heard him. General Dick asked Colonel Clayton If he had any more questions to ask the witness and the colonel said:
 T have nothing more to ask, but I would advise this young man to revise his ideas if he intends to go into the army"
 Chairman Dick then took the witness in hand and had him describe all forms of ex- ercising.

 Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries.

CHEAPER LIGHTING
FOR CITY BUILDINGS.
Board of Public Improvements Re.
ceives Proposals Showing Con
siderable Decrease in Price.

Proposals for the lighting of public build
!ngs during the year beginning September
l We're received yesterday noon by the
Board of Public improvements. The de-
crease III the kilowatt rate was somewhat
more agreeable than had been anticipated,
and the surprise was all the more pleas
ant 10 members of the board because 1t
was accomplished without any competition
between the lighting companies.
Secretary Ross, representing the Laclede
Gas Light Company. offered a rate of S
cents per 1,000 Watt hours for incandescent
lights IN public buildings located north of
Washington avenue. Secretary Pike. of The
Missouri Edison Electric Company, pre-
posed terms Of cents per 1000 Watt hours
for lighting buildings in the district south
of Washington avenue. The Laclede's rate
last year was l. cents, and the Missouri
EdisonS 13 cents.
A reduction in cost for lighting is not the
only advantage acquired this year. The
contract, based on specifications on file in
Supervisor of Lighting O'Re!lly's office. Is
drawn on business principles and accords
to the city such privileges as are possessed
by large commercial concerns using large
quantities of current for light and power.
The board will have the authority to aban-
don the service in any building at any
time. or to demand increased current and
other privileges as may seem eXpedient to
the beard.
Il consider the proposals very fair said
Mr.. OReilly. There are two reasons for
the reduction. In the first place the popular
interest in municipal lighting plants. and
the prospect that this interest would be sat
isiied. was probably responsible for a part
Of the decrease. Secondly. We eliminated
from the specifications the requirement for
wiring the buildings at the boards COM
mand. The reasons for the decline were
stated fully and correctly yesterday in The
Republic
A bill was transmitted by the board to the
City Council yesterday to authorize the Wa
ter Commissioner. with the approval of the
president Of the board. to employ workmen
for the Waterworks lighting plant and cleo
trio railway. One electrician Is to be en-
gased at 500 per month three dynamo ten
ders at $50 each. three motormen and three
conductors at $50 EACH and as many me-
chanics as may be necessary at 81 per day
each for actual work performed.

EFFECT OF LAW DISCUSSED.
One Successful Applicant for a
State Certificate Says He
Would Not Part With
Document for 800.

The State Board OF Examiners for Bar
beers yesterday conducted the examination
of twelve applicants for licenses to ply
their trade in st. Louis. OF these three
were rejected. and they will be compelled
under the law to go to some other State to
work.
Several BARRIERS visited the boards head
quarters. but when they ascertained what
was expected Of them to pass the examina-
ton they decided not to pay their IS and
take chances on getting license.
The first thing an applicant for license
is compelled to do is to cut the hair and
shave the boards OF the subjects provided
for him. Yesterday there were more sub
jects than BARRIERS to do the work. and some
were compelled to go away disappointed.
Y. L. Burch, treasurer of the board, said
of the law and the examinations conducted
under it: 1.-The best BARRIERS in Missouri
favor the law and are glad that we are
going atead to enforce it. The result will
be that the cheap shops will be done away
