The committee finds that Cadets Mac
Arthur, Breth and Burton were hazed
into convulsions, Others We're hazed un-
til they tainted. while others were hazed
until they were sick.
The hazlng of Cadets Booz and Breth
is eiaborately treated, but the committee
does not attribute their deaths directly
to hazing. The report adds:
But while we cannot fix upon hazing
the responsibility for these two deaths,
the possibility that it FASTENED them and

and glorious fame of the academy, its
conflict with proper training and discip-
line and its unftness in this new century.

The bill submitted contains eleven Sec

for it's detection and punishment Dis
missal is provided for taking part in a
fight or a challenge, directly or Indirectly
or for any form of annoying, harassing or

CORK FACTORY BURNED.
big Blaze at PittsburE Yesterday
with Loss of $500, 900, IncIud-
ing an Iron Foundry.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb 9.-The ive-story
brick building at Twenty third street and
Allegheny Valley Railroad. occupied by
the Armstrong Brothers cork factory was
completely destroyed by fire to-day to-
gether with the foundry and machine
shop of the Totten & Hogg Iron and Steel
Foundry Company on Twenty-fourth
street adjoining the Armstrong;. The
loss will reach almost 100000 with insur
ance covering the amount fully.
The confagration was one of the most
spectacular seen in Pittsburg for long
time. The flames from the main building
of the Armstrong factory, where the fire
originated, spread with astonishing ra-
pidity and five alarms were sounded in
quick succession, calling all the engines
in the lower city to the scene.
Greatest excitement prevailed be-
cause the employees Of the cork
factory, numbering 1900 were all at work
and it was feared that many of the girls
and boys in the building would not be
able to escape. Fortunately the several
hre-escapes and the firemens ladders pro-
vded ample means for the safety of all.
In spite of the firemen's good work the
flames jumped across the street and ate
their way into the lotion and Hogg
boundary and laid waste the foundry and
machine shops before they could be
checked.
The Armstrong cork factory was the
largest plant of the kind in the country
and the company has Offices in most of
the principal cities. All of the valuable
machinery was destroyed, but the books
and papers In the offices were saved.

Cincinnati, o., Feb. 9.-The situation is
more complicated then ever tonight re-
garding the contests here next Friday
night between Martin and Childs and
Jeffries and Rubin.
Ii was thought that arguments would
be completed tonight before Judge Hol-
lister on the application for a permanent
injunction against the proposed contest
The attorneys, however insisted on so
much time for arguments that another
day will be spent i'm hearing them, and
the case will not be finally submitted to
Judge HOLSTER until Monday evening It
is hardly possible that Judge Hollister
will then be ready to render his decision
on Tuesday morning, and II he shall hold
II back until Wednesday or Thursday
morning there will be very little time for
the proposed appeal to the higher courts.
Meantime, there are all sorts of rumors
about other proceedings. including action
against Madden and Brady for perjury,
and especially against the former.

THE WOMEN REPULSED.
Chicago Drug Clerk SinE1ehanded
Drives OFF six Female Do
wi

Chicago, Feb. 9.-Single-handed and with
no better weapons than his fists, Edward
j. Safranek, clerk for the Cupit Drug
Company, to-day repulsed six women who
were making a determined assault on the
concerns store, at Lake street and Sacra-
mento avenue. The glass in the front
door was shattered and $50 worth OF drugs
in the show windows destroyed before the
smashers were beaten away. Safranek
tried to hold one of the women prisoner,
but she was rescued by her five COM
panions.
One of the raiders shouted:
"Iurrah for Zion and Dowie!'
The identity of the women could not

failed to make any arrests.
During lull in business Safranek saw
six women houndering through the snow
drifts in Lake street toward the store.
the women carried canes, clubs and
hatchets.
The clerk and the women reached the
door at the same time and for a second
elared at each other in silent challenge.
Then the glass was splintered by blows
from the canes and one woman leaned
through the opening thus made and
swept $50 worth of drugs in the show
windows to the floor. The clerk waited
no longer. His fists shot out and the
women cook to their heels.

NEW YORK ICE-LOCKED.
Storm Yesterday Made Conditions
WOrse-AtInntic Lanes Delayed
and Many Tugs CuppIed.

New York. Feb. 9-New York harbor
was still ice-locked to-day and all traffic
ahoat in bay and rivers was crippled by
the foes. Not in may years, say the ship
ping men, has commerce on the harbor
been so impeded by the ice. Even the At
lantlc liners are delayed and bothered by
the packs which for days have hung per-
sistently along the water fronts every
where, filing up the slips and causing de-
lay and vexation to thousands who travel
on ferryboats.
Increasing the trouble a hundred-fold
came the storm this morning and for sew
erai hours ice and snow placed an en-
barge on the port. No vessel dared to
navigate the Narrows or Hell Gate until
the snow had stopped falling.
Many tug boats have been called into
service to break the way for clogged ves-
sells. Where one tug is usually enough
to tow a whole fleet OF canal boats
around the Battery, two or three are now
REQUIRED for the work. The resources OF
the tug owners have been taxed to the
limit Last Wednesday night it was i'm
possible to charter a tug for any price
Every one was busy One of the largest
owners of these boats in the city said
to-day that the ice had probably disabled
hundred tugs by breaking their pro-
pellers The dry docks are fun OF boats
having broken wheels replaced.
The ferry boats to-day continued 10
fight their way from slip TO slip. 1t
has been impossible for these boats to
run on schedule time for several days.

THE CLEAN OUT AT HOLTON.
Mob Did Thorough Work and Then
Held IA Prayer Meeting.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 9.-Hofon, Kan,
was purged of it's joints to-day The
purging process was accomplished by a
band of at least 1000 persons who took
the law into their own hands, and attack
ed the joints of the city.
The joints were put out of business and
Holton is a dry town for the first time in
fifteen years. The citizens of Holton held
a meeting last night and decided that
these places must be closed at once. This
afternoon at o'clock they met at the
Methodist Church, and after some prelim-
mary exercises they started out to do
their work. There were about 800 people
at the church, but it soon became known
what was going on. and soon the main
street of the town was crowded with eager
people anxious to see the work
accomplished. There were a number of
officers in the crowd, and they led the way
to the first joint which has been kept for
years by a woman named Hicks. The
crowd broke down the doors and took out
all the liquor emptying it into the street.
They then broke up all the fixtures in
true Nation style, not leaving a whole
thing that could be used in the business.
The proprietress tried to leave, but the
crowd refused to let her. When the de-
molition of this place was completed the
crowd started to do the same with other
joints nine in number. The proprietors
of these places, by working hard man
aged to turn out all their liquor by the
time the crowd reached their places of
business and nearly had the fixtures
moved out. They pleaded earnestly to be
allowed to keep the fixtures and promised
on their oaths never again to sell a drop
of liquor in Holton. One of the joint
keepers, named Anderson, got down on
on his knees and supplcated
the crowd not to destroy his fixtures, as
it would ruin him financially, and he
promised to have them out of town In an
hour. The citizens decided to give the
remaining joint keepers a few hours in
which to leave the city.
There was not a semblance of lawless-
ness at any time during the progress of
the smashing. Lawyers, newspaper men
and business men helped to swell the
crowd, which was composed of some OF
the best people of Holton.
After the smashing had been completed
the guardians of the law went to the
Methodist Church and had a Thanksgiving
service over the successful result of their
work.
Tonight a meeting was held in Holton
and a vigilance committee was organized
to see that a joint should never again
have a chance to do business there. The
members of the committee say the first
man appearing with joint will be strip
ped and banished. They accomplished in
two hours what the officers have not done
in two wears
