ADJECTIvES
Employed by Dick
To Express His Con-
tempt For Hazing.
Used a Whole Volume of
Synonyms

Witnesses.

Surprise.

West Point, N. Y, Jan. 17.--The
Congressional committee put in a
good days work at the West Point
Academy yesterday. Three witnesses
We're examined. They were Cadets
Mahaffey, Dockery, and Pegram. All
three were thoroughly examined by
Congressman Wanger briggs, Smith,
and Clayton. Not point was missed
by these gentlemen, but what the
witnesses received at the hands Of
these investigators was as nothing to
their experience In the hands of the
chairman, General Dick, of Ohio.
The general questioned them in his
quiet, suave manner, and led them on
by easy stages to the point he de-
sired. Then like bolt from clear
sky, he let loose his torrents of scath-
ing sarcasm, every word of which cut
deeply and made each of the wit
nesses vince. All three of them left
the stand in brcathless condition
and in worse state of mind and body
than if they had just been compelled
to go through the entire curriculum
of hazing which, according to the evil
dence adduced at this investigation,
consists of a half hundred different

Mr.. Dick.

said Mr.. Dick, and the torrent of ad-
jcctives almost took away Dockery's
breath.
Judge Smith got Dockery to admit
that when he found that Macarthur
was i'll, he felt anxious on account OF
his responsibility for the young fel-
lows condition.
Instead of exercising this young
man to such n degree, why did you
not give him a chance to fight?' asked

For r1oney
cannot afford to pass
South Sharon by.
When completed the great
plant of the Sharon
Steel Company will be
larger and give employment
to more men than
the Carnegie Works at
Homestead.
It's success will persuade
other industries, in addition
to the ones that
have already come, to
locate there.
We said at first
that South Sharon would
be a city of
10000 population.
1t looks now as
though $4,000 would be
| nearer a correct estimate.
Small storekeepers will not
only get rich from
their property investments,
J but also from the
trade they will naturally
receive from the 5000
high class mechanics that
will go to work
in the big mills.
Their trade will build
a merchant up.
You can reach South
Sharon by way of
