MIDDLE JAILED FOR HAzING
Forces Another Cadet to Fight,
Breaks His jaw and Sees
Prison Cell.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd. Jan. 11.-As a result
Of a fight between Midshipman Robert A.
Pearson, a member of the fourth class from
Concord, N. f., and Francis G. Blasdel OF
New York, the former is in the hospital
with a broken Jaw and Blasdel is locked
up.
The affair occurred last Sunday and was
the result Of Parsons refusal to be hazed
by the upper classmen. The upper class
men had been running him and some
time age he is said to have tainted under
the ordeal. He was accused of cowardice
and was required to fight a third classman.
Blasdel was pitted against him and in the
first round broke his Jaw. He, however,
continued to fight until the fifth round,
when a first classman present stopped the
contest.
1t is reported that a first classman was
referee and that seconds we're chosen by
the men from their respective classes.
Blasdel has been placed under arrest and
others connected with the affair will prob
ably be arrested also by the academy au-
thorities, who are determined to punish the
guilty parties.
Young Pearson's father, Edward w.
Pearson, secretary Of state of New Hamp-
shire, arrived tonight and visited his son.
Mr.. Pearson will not NEEDLE in the affair,
but will leave 1t entirely in the hands of
the naval authorities.

Preparing Library Ordinance.

Owing to the repairs at the library not
being completed the regular meeting of the
library board this afternoon will be held in
the office of the president, NJ. f. Rohrer,
The most important matter to come before
the board will be the ordinance which is
now being drafted, pledging the city to pro-
vide annually at least $1,000 for the support
OF the library so as to secure the donation
OF $50, 900 for a building from Andrew Car
negie. This ordinance will be submitted to
the city council at it's meeting tonight.
when II undoubtedly will be passed by the
unanimous vote of the aldermen.
President Rohrer Of the library board is
anxious that the business men who are
prominent in the movement for the organi-
cation of a commercial club, and In fact all
citizens interested in the welfare and prog
ress Of the city, attend the meeting OF the
city council tonight and thus by their
presence ratlfy the action OF the aldermen.
The library board has already received a
number Of offers OF sites for the proposed
library building, and It is probable that this
matter will be discussed at the meeting OF
the board this AFTERNOON. The general opin-
ion is that the building should be located
as near Bayliss park as possible. ANY site
facing tho park itself is generally favored.
With the $4,000 levy the board will. 1t is
expected, not experience any difficulty in
securing a suitable site.

MRS. POLY is LIKELY TO DIE
Victim of husbands Insane Act Has
Grown Worse Steadily since
Shooting.

MARSHALLToWN, Ia, Jan. 11.-(spe-
eial eword from Eldora late this evening
states that the condition OF Mrs. ]. H.
Policy. who was shot by her husband last
night, and who then killed himself, is much
worse and the doctors believe she will die.
A second and more thorough examination
shows the woman was shot in the upper
part Of the arm and that the bullet entered
her left side. passing entirely through her
body and lodging in the ribs. The doctors
fear that the stomach or intestines were
pierced. as the patient has had severe
hemorrhages Of the stomach.
Particulars Of the tragedy indicate that
the shooting was the result OF domestic
trouble over money affairs. J. II. Policy was
married to Mrs. Saloma Ellsworth about
two years ago. For awhile they lived hap
PLY together and then discord arose over
family affairs and money matters. Things
went from bad to worse and about two
weeks ago the couple agreed to separate
and Mrs. Policy filed a petition for a
divorce. It is believed Poley's mind be-
came affected by his troubles and he de-
cided to end It all by killing both his wife
and himself.
Policy had a good reputation in this COM
munity, but was known to be very close
about money matters. 1t is also known
that he refused to allow his wife to keeI
her mother and blind brother at his house
and even refused TO allow the blind brother
to visit at their home. and these matters
widened the breach between them.

ELLIS ISLAND Is IMPROVING
Sargent Says President's Action ia
Rapidly Removing ReprOach on
immigration Station.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 11.-Frank P.
Sargent, commissioner of immigration, to-
night delivered an address to the Jewish
Chautauqua society on Immigration and
the Future of Our Country" Simon Wolf
of Washington, president of the Union of
Hebrew Congregations, presided.
Mr.. Sargent said in part:
The large number of persons who seek
a home in this country makes II inevitable
that at times q few cases OF injustice will
arise. 1t is the purpose of the bureau
of immigration to deal fairly with every
case that is presented. Ellis Island has
been a place for tho harboring of ~vultufes
who preyed upon the immigrants and peo-
pie began to look upon the place as the
hell hole of America. Last April the
president placed a gentleman of his own
selection it charge at the Island. He made
changes in the administration and intro
dUced sanitary measures.
Abuses which had existed for years I'M
checked were stopped. j don't presume
to say that conditions there today are
IDEAL, but we are trying to make them so,
We are skins congress for $500, 900 for
extensions to buildings and better facil-
tiles for caring for those who are de-
tanned.

struetion Of a mail depot at the station

the leyee. For the latter condemnation

ten city blocks.
The Terminal association will also com
plete and extend a belt line around the
city, and is adding to its yard facilities
in every quarter Of st. Louis.

the new loops 1t will be possible to handle
sixty passenger trains al hour, one every
minute. Facilities for the handling OF
freight are being increased In the sam
ratio Of four TO one.

SENATORIAL FIGHTS WARN
Confusion Grows Worse in OOlsrado as
Election is Neared
HANNA AND PAYNE URGE PEACE PACT
smoOt Seems safe in Utah, While RE-
sui. in other states is b
owing TO Plethora Of
willing Candidates.

DENVER, Jan. 1.-THE confusion exist
ing in Colorado as the result Of the fight for
a successor to United States Senator Henry
NJ. Teller is p~uzzling even to the most acute
political minds. Mr.. Wolcott and bis friends
insist that action to unseat certain demo-
cratic members Of the house because Of al
legged fraud in the ballot and returns be
taken before balloting Is begun on the
senatorship. He charges his republican OPP
ponents with deliberate, delay in this mat
ter because of a deal with the democrats.
In a statement issued by Mr.. Wolcott to-
night he says:
Gross frauds, concerning which the evil
dence is indisputable, should lead to the
uneeating of seventeen fraudulently elected
democrats in the house.
Every friend of mine, including the seven
teen members who asked for a caucus, is
anxious to have a speedy vote on unseat-
ing these fraudulently elected democrats,
but there is grave danger that no action
Will be taken until after the 10Th, when
voting on the senatorship commences.
If the legislature Is made republican on
Joint ballot before a senator is elected, all
that / or my friends ask is that he shall
be chosen in free and fair conference or
caucus by the republican members.
The anti-wolcott republicans have main
tanned all along that no deal between the
democrats and the anti Wolcott forces has
been made, and that they will never vote
for a democrat for United States senator,
Among the several candidates of the anti
Wolcott people, Frank c. Goudy of Denver
has probably the largest following. Some
say the split in the republican party will
result in Mr.. Teller's return to the senate
and should the contested seats in the house
be given to the democrats there is little
doubt that he will be chosen. as he was
endorsed by the democratic state conven-
tion and by nearly all the county conven-
TONS. However, former Governor Alva Ad-
ans Of Pueblo looms up as a possibility.
The following telegram has been received
by William stapleton, editor Of the Denver
Republican:
WASHINGTON, Jan. love, in COM
mon with all the friends of the republican
party here, deplore the conditions now ex-
listing in the legislature OF your state.
Anything that Will destroy the prospects
of electing a republican is deprecated to
the utmost degree. If a remedy can be
found, we most earnestly appeal to those
republicans controlling the situation to
make the effort, considering above all
else the interest of the party.
