NEAR DEATH
As RESULT
OF HAzING
Victims Of Brutal
COll0gianS May
SuCCumb.
Seven HapleSS Freshmen
Are Compelled to "Walk
the Plank.
Plunge Distance Of Forty Feet Into
Icy Water After Undergoing
Other Torment.
Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.

CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-As the result of
hazing in which seven of the North
western University freshmen were
forced to walk blindfoIded from an ice
chute into thirty feet Of water in an
old clay hole. three of the victims are
said to be in a serious condition, being
threatened with pneumonia, while the
others are just recovering from the
shock.
Fred Schanver, James Turner, Ned
Farwell. Ralph Home, Elmer Protou,
Ralph Wallace and Roger Marston are
the students who were subjected to the
ordeal. The first named three are the
greatest sufferers from their exper-
fence.
Seized by a party of upper class
men on Friday morning, the young
men were paraded, bareheaded and
under guard, about the streets and
finally presented with brooms, which
they were instructed to use as guns
and post themselves in front of the
several dormitories set aside for co-eds.
They were required to walk post" sa-
lutte every woman who passed and re-
peat certain silly rhymes.
At noon the prisoners were huddled,
deprived of their dinners, and at night
we're locked in one of the rooms Of a
fraternity house, where they were not
allowed to speak to one another on
pain of severe beating, and again were
refused food.
About 1890 O'Clock they we're = xa41,
required to fall into line, march to the
center of town, give the college yells
and Chamber in and out of fountain.
They were then marched about the
principal streets, making all manner of
noise until nearly midnight.
Just before midnight they were
marched to South Evanston hen west
ward a mile and a half to deserted
clay hole, where the most dangerous
part of the programme was gone
through with.
On one side of the clay hole stand
some old ice-houses, and from the side
of one protrudes a chute extending
over the water about forty feet The
freshmen were blindfolded and in
formed that they were about to die in
the manner adopted by buccaneers of
ancient times.
One by one they were marched up
the rickety ladder, and then out on a
plank, which terminated at the edge
of the ice chute. A vigorous push
hurled each of them to the water below.
After clambering out of the icy
water the freshmen were compelled to
walk home in their wet clothing Three
of the boys, it is said, are being cared
for in secret. Their hiding place could
not be learned tonight, nor would the
frightened fraternity men give the
name of the doctor who is attending
them.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Reports
from San Francisco about defects in
the armor protection in front of the
ten six-inch guns on the after end
of the superstructure of the battleship
Ohio occasioned little interest here.
The omission of this armor was in
tentionaL In other ships of the Ohio's
class-the Maine and the Missouri
and in the Alabama. Wisconsin and
Illinois there is not complete armor
protection on this part Of the super
structure.
The Board of Naval Construction,
which designed these ships, deemed it
inadvisable to put this additional
weight upon the superstructure. Ar
NOR protection is always counterbal-
anced by the question of weight. A
ship could be made invulnerable by
arrnor around all the guns, but it
would be too heavy to float.

Future of Horse Shows.
