arises from the apparent conflict between all
act OF June %. 1874, which calls for the trial by
court martial of cadets found guilty of hazing,
and that of March 8. 1908. which provides that
any cadet found guilty of participating in

The opinion is expressed at the department
that hazing has existed at the Naval Academy
for a long time under cover. Admiral Sands
turned TO Annapolis this afternoon. A search
is being made for evidence against midshipmen

these as well as any hereafter apprehended, will
be recommended for dismissal
