touch with superintendent and prison
say 1t is lie and has been proven so to
the satisfaction of the prison directors
Sheriff II. II. Peck was according to
some, the source from which the story
emanated. Before the board he fatty
denied all knowledge of the matter or
any connection with the circulation OF
such report. The prison matron, who
has charge of Mary Rogers, told the
board that she knew positively the
story was untrue. She had had per-
sonal oversight and care of Mrs Rog-
ers for several months past and knew
that such a condition as was charged
could not exist.
These facts are not given out by Of
ticials OF the board or prison and it is
difficult to verify any statements in
circulation concerning this public in
stitution. An effort was made to get
the truth Of this recently, newspaper
man calling at his home and asking
the maid il Mr. Cakes conld be seen.
The caller was ushered into the hall
and there was no apparent question,
but what Mr. Cakes could be seen,
until the maid was informed that the
visitor was newspaper man.
The latter was then told that Mr.
Cakes was sick and on a card being
sent to him, word was returned that
Superintendent Cakes was not well
enough to see anyone.

THE EFFORT # the republican House
leaders to bind the majority to vote Tor
the dual statehood programme by cau-
Gus met with signal defeat yesterday
afternoon. So strong opposition to the
plan to make of Arizona and New Next
co a single State developed that it be-
came necessary to abandon the idea OF a
caucus and hold a conference instead, as
to have held a caucus would have pre-
cipitated a bolt. When this was done
and it was clearly understood that MEM
beers present were not to be bound by the
msjority the supporters of the Hamilton
two State bill we're able to obtain only
10 votes, while the opposition muster
ed IS votes, or eight more than enough
when combined with the 1877 democratic
votes to defeat the measure on the hoor
of the House. So il seems that the
democrats are not the only ones who di-
vide in Congress.

Church were made by the synod of the
archdiocese of Chicago Yesterday. The

House Debates Insurance.

Debate on the recommendation of the
Presidents annual message regarding
insurance regulation occupied the House
again yesterday without conclusion.
The pending resolution refers the
question to the Ways and Means Com
mittee. Ia its defense Mr.. Payne, the
chairman, made the argument that the
only way Congress could control insur-
ance was through taxing it; that it
should resolutely pursue other methods
of control until some way was found
which would be effective. The liberal
rules of the debate allowed lengthy
speeches, which went off on other SUBJ
ects more or less intended for home con-
sumption and applicable to particular
localities.

of the great corporations is one which

FRIDAY EVENING, DEC. Is, 1905

TnE DEATH Of Midshipman Branch at
the Annapolis Naval Academy from 10.
iuries receive in a fist fight with Mid
shipman Meriwether has naturally at
tracted universal attention, and hardly
had the ink dried upon the latter's SEN
fence when other brutal cases in the same
institution are brought to light in which
two cadets though not killed, are likely
10 be invaIids for life. A dispatch from
Annapolis says it was learned from Of
fetal sources last night that Midshipman
.Jerdone p. KimbrOugh had been threat
ened with death by upper-class men If
he testified before the academy board IN
vestigating hazing, and it is alleged that
threats to kill him have been made since
the hazing incident, in which he was
forced to stand on mis- head until he faint
ed. 1t has been shown almost beyond a
doubt that the boy was hazed because he
in his testimony under oath before the
Investigating board made statements inn
plicating upper-class men in hazing.
This is sad condition of affairs in an
institution kept up by the government,
where students are fed, educated and
paid five hundred dollars year. A
fendish spirit seems to animate some
who receive appointments to the acad-
envy, and they make it dangerous for
their fellow.cadets. There is another
ugly feature in connection with the dis
closures. Cadets guilty of conduct
which should make them subjects tor
immediate expulsion pose on the politi
cal influence they secured in order to re-
ceive their appointments as we'll as that
they imagine they can WELD in order to
keep them at the academy. The bes.
type of young men is not always Sc
lected for the naval and military acade-
mics. The amount of pressure that can
be brought to bear upon the Congress
men from their districts is too often the
trump card, and their competitors, no
matter how capable, have to stand aside.
The disclosures of the oast few weeks
should make the peoples representatives
cautious in the matter of appointments,
as there is every reason to believe they
select youths they have never seen, some
of whom are calculated to bring disgrace
upon the country that adopts them.

The Miners Convention.

Shamokin, Pa, Dec. l5.--The COM
mittee on scale appointed at the session
of the United Mine Workers conven-
ton yesterday, met at O'Clock this
morning t. draft into proper form, tor
presentation end the consideration OF
the convention, the demand which will
be made upon the anthracite operators.
The convention met shortly after nine
o'clock. The demands will be debated
and discussed the rest of the week, and
will probably not be moved for adoption
until Monday. just what form the de-
mnnd for the recognition of the union
will take is problematical, and, from in-
formation that has reached here, an in
teresting situation may result. Presi-
dents of the coal roads which enter the
region in aud about Wilkes Barre and
Scranton, with the exception OF Presi-
dent Baer Of the Reading, have indicat-
ed that they would consider demand
for union recognition if the union would
consent to be remodelled on the lines of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers
Briefly, the operators 10 the upper
field are ready to treat with union com
mittees made up of employees of their
colIeries. Members may be en-
ployed by various companies, but when
disputes arise or questions come up only
members of that local who sre employed
in the collieries where the questions or
dispute has developed shall confer with
the operators. In the event OF no settle
ment or adjustment, an appeal can be
taken to the national body. The opera
tors are a unit in their determination
not to treat with the national officers
direct, but will confer with their own
union employees. Such recognition
would be on the same line as the one
given by the railroads to locomotive con-
ductors and brakesmen's unions.
The national officers of the miners
union, with possibly one exception, are
dead set against any such form OF recog-
milton. The miners in the upper region
are strongly opposed to strike for union
recognition and, in fact, are quite indif-
ferent about the eight hour day. The Sla
yonic, the Lithuanian and the Pole, and
their numbers are legion, are strong in
their devotion to the church which has
come into this industrial problem. The
church is opposed to a strike and its in
huence is being reckoned with by the ma
tiona officers. The Greek Catholic I'm
ion is working against strike among
the foreign miners.

Hazing at the Academy.

Indignation is expressed both at the
Capitol and at the Navy Department
at the renewed outbreak of the pratice
of hazing. Congress is indignant that
its laws are defed; naval officers do not
hesitate To say that while they believe
the anti-hszing law should be enforced
rigidly, that Congress has weakened IFS
effect by reinstating men who we're dis
missed for violating the law enacted
after so much agitation a few years ago.
The action OF Midshipmen Coffin and
Van Derveer in bszing young Kim
brough probably will result in con-
gressional investigation. The opinion
Was almost unanimously expressed about
the Capitol yesterday that something
must be done to dig this and other un-
desirable practices out of the Academy,
root and branch.
Secretary Bonaparte announced yesler-
day, after receiving Superintendent
Sands report, that vigorous action would
be taken to break up hazing at the
United States Naval Academy at An
napolis.
In his report upon the hazing of Mid
shipman Jerdone P. Kimbrough, Su !
perintendent Sands is said to recommend
the summary dismissal of Midshipman
TreDmor Coffin, jr., of the third class,
and midshipman Warren A. Van Der
Veer, of the second class.
A number of MIdshipmen at Aunapo-
lis are said to fear that they will be in-
volved If any general investigation of
hazing takes place.
