explain how hard he worked to have
it passed. 10 his discussion Of the
Philippines the speaker laid several
beliefs at Thomas Jeff'-rsons door,
saying that the founder of Democ
racy did not consider that the negro
had so much as a soul, much less any
right to have say in politics.
Passing hurriedly over the ship
subsidy he started on bis concIu-
sion, which was q defense of his
youthfulness. lie applied to himself
the tests prescribed by J.ffrrson for
a congressman. He also found
solace in the thought that John c.

when he was first sent to Washing

Mr.. Lever seemed to have nun
Der of friends in the audience.
MR. BRANTLEY.
Mr.. Thos. F. Brant!ey, the csndi-
date from Orangeburg, gave lucid,
straightforward discussion Of the
questions now before the nation. He
took up the ship subsidy bill, giving
his reasons for being opposed to it,
and outlining the substitute he was
in favor of which If adopted would
lessen the cost of shipping for south
ern farmers. The evils of imperial
ism and it's necessary adjunct, q
standing army, were emphasized.
Mr.. Brant|ey made an able argu-
ment for the Nlcaraguan canal bill
in which he showed its supreme ad-
vantage to the people of the south
in bringing nearer the great market
of China.
Mr.. Brantley had a number Of
friends to shake hands with him at
the close of the meeting.
JUDGE BUCHANAN.
Judge Buchanan, of Sumter, was
the last speaker. He preferred not
to bore the audience longer than to
say a very few words. In his opin-
ion both capital and labor should be
protected. He considered that ig-
norance was the greatest evil that
attended the workingmap. He
thought himself as good Democrat
as Bryan. With these remarks he
sat down and the meeting was ad-
joarned.

DEATH OF CADET BRETA
WAS FURTHER INVESTIGATOR BY
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
COMMITTEE
BETTER UNDER GEN. MERRITT
Evidence That Former West Point
superintendent Kept HazinK
of FOurth-CIass Men
in Check.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. S-The congress
sional committee which is investigating
the hazing CT fourth-class cadets at West
Point military academy resumed the TAX
ing of testimony today. Harry Breth, of
Altoona, an older brother of John Breth,
whose death is also under investigation,
told of a visit he and his sister paid his
brother at West Point in August, 1897, a
few months after his admission to the
academy John said he had been exer-
cfSed until he was rendered unconscious
and was revived with whisky. Harry
said that haZing had become so severe
that extra guards had been put on duty,
and John said such a proceeding was un-
usual. When the cadet returned home
after having been found deficient in GER
tain studies in 1898, he seemed unwell,
and never was in good health alter that
Lucien Alexander, secretary of the
board of examiners for the admission CT
law students to the Philadelphia bar, who
yesterday refused to give the result OF
Oscar BooZ's examination, on the ground
that he would be in contempt of the
courts under a rule Of the court, said he
had applied to the court of common pleas
and had been granted a rule permitting
him to make answer. He then testified
that Oscar Booz failed in the examina-
ton, he having a general average of SO.
Mr.. Alexander said he attributed his bad
WAS HAZED REGULARLY.
Harry Breth was again called, and he
submitted three letters written by his
brother when ne was a cadet at West
Point In one letter John said he had
received q large number of dement's.
This he said, was not the result of care
lessness, as the rules were very strict in
regard to tidiness He had little time to
keep his belongings in proper order, as he
was compelled to neglect his duties by
reason of his having to attend soirees,
which was one of the forms of hazing
in vogue at the academy.
Another letter stated that one night
''some of the worst fellows in com
pany" took John and three others to a
tent and forced them to undergo eXces-
sve exercising. John was made to
brace "eag:e," wooden Willier put
on a rain coat and, with a cap covering
his head, held out dumbbells." Mr..
Breth, the father of John, said it was
his conviction that the excessive hazing
his son underwent made him exceedingly
nervous and broke his health and vitality
to such an extent that the young man
was unable to fight the TYPHOID germs.
George L. Smith, of this city, who was
at West Point from June, 1886, to June,
1897 described the haZing as he knew 1T
at that time
Wesley Merritt was then superintend-
ent and he was very strict-more so, he
thought, than the succeeding superin-
tendents There was no brutal or eX-
hausting hazing while he was at the
academy.
The committee then adjourned to meet
at West Point tomorrow morning. After
hearing testimony at the military acad-
envy the committee will return to Wash
ington, where other witnesses will be
heard

MUST ELECT EACH YEAR
TITUS AMENDMENT TO IOWA'S CON-
STITUTION NOT LEGALLY
ADOPTED
DECISION BY JUDGE DEWEY
Constitutional Procedure Was Not
Carried Out I'm the Legislature,
Thereby AnnullinG the
Vote of Nov. 6.

DIES MONIES, To-, Jan. S.-Judge A. r.
Dewey, of the Sixth Iowa judicial dis
trict, rendered his decision at Washing
ton, To-, at o'clock this afternoon on
the legality of the biennial election
amendment to the state constitution, de-
claring the same to be void. He bases
his lengthy opinion Of 10000 words upon
the fact that the amendment was not
submitted by the legislature in legal
FORM Every politician and office-holder
in the state has been awaiting the de-
cisiop for upon the result the terms of
all office-holders would or would not be
extended one year, the general opinion
being that the supreme court would af-
firm Judge Dewey's opinion. The case
was planned some time ago by Attorney
General Remley. Attorney General-elect
Mullen and Senator George Titus, author
of the amendment. The amendment pro-
vided that all terms of officers from gov
ernor down, expiring in the year 1891, be
extended for one year. 1t first appeared
in the legislature of 1898, being intro
duced in the form of joint resolution.
In compliance with requirements in the
adoption of an amendment, it was PEE
sented to the succeeding legislature In
1900 known as the tWenty-eighth gene al
assembly. In the passage of the resolu-
ton at that session, the record made in
the journals of the house was by the title
of the joint resolution. The constitution
requires that the amendment shall "be
entered upon the journals" Judge Dewey
holds that the recording of the title only
is not sufficient, and therefore, the
amendment was not legally adopted by
the people of Iowa at the election No
vember 6, 1900.
Notices of appeal were given at once
and the case will be doclketed in a few
days in the supreme court, where a
motion will be made to advance it to
the mead of the calendar, so it can be
submitted on the first day of the term,
which begins Jan. Is. 1t is thought that
the decision will be handed down at
which closes Feb. 9.
