an elephant could jump as far, in pro-

by a dozen extravagances, engineered
by the Get-wise-quick people. There
is always some Young Napoleon OF

not know officially until the announce

After the wedding in February Mr..

Ravages of the Big Gray Wolf Fal

Big wolves are found in both Texas
and Oklahoma, but they are rare com
pared to the coyotes; and they are
great wanderers, says Theodore Roose'
welt, in S~cribner's. Alone or in par
ties of three or four or half a dozeI
they travel to and fro across the coun-
try, often leaving a district at onee il
they are molested. Coyotes are more
or less plentiful everywhere through
out the west in thinly settled districts
and they often hang about in the i'm
mediate neighborhood of towns. They
do enough damage to make farmers
and ranchers kill them whenever the
chance offers.
But this damage is not appreciablC
when compared with the ravages Of
their grim. big brother. the gray wolf
which, wherever it exists in numbers
is a veritable courge to the stock
men.

DETERMINED
To END HAzING
Secretary BOnaparte Will Wage
War on LaWIGSS MiddieS
Admiral Sands Summoned.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Hazing of
every kind, it is announced, will be
stamped out of the Naval academy, re-
CARELESS of the number of dismissals
from the brigade of m%idshipmen neces-
sary to bring about this result. Two
midshipmen will be dismissed from the
academy within a few days by the sec
rotary of the navy, the one for hazing
and the other for countenancing it by
failure while OIL duty to report its oc-
currence. Other dismissals will follow
as often as midshipmen are found
guilty of hazing or countenancing it.
Aroused by the condition of affairs
which reports show to exist at the
academy SO far as the treatment of
fourth class men are concerned, Secre-
tary Bonaparte %telephoned to Rear Ad-
miral H. Sands, superintendent of the
academy, a request to come to Wash
ington for a conference, and the admi-
raj arrived here OF an early train this
morning from Annapolis. 1t will be the
initial step in q new and vigorous cam
paign to be waged at Annapolis against
hazing. Admiral Sands will have the
unqualified support Of the navy depart
ment in his efforts to abolish the evil,
and Secretary B%Onaparte announced
that the admiral possessed the full con-
fidence of the officials here in his abil-
ity to handle the situation to the entire
satisfaction of the department. Con.
gressional investigation of the condi-
tons at the academy has already been
proposed in u resolution introduced in
the house by Representative Loud of
Michigan.
Briefly these are the developments in
the movement against hazing at the
Naval academy: When Secretary Bona
parte reached the navy department he
received an official report from Admit
raj Sands announcing the suspension of
Midshipman Trenmor Coffin, Jr., for
hazing Midshipman Jerdone Pettus
Kimbrough by forcing him to stand on
his head until he became unconscious
and of MidshipInan Warren Able Van
Derveer, second class man, because
while on duty he observed the occur
renee and failed to report it. The SUI
~perintendent called attention to the
fact that Midshipmen Coffin and Van
Derveer were guilty of violating a well
known regulation for the government
of the Naval academy and recommend
ed their summary dismissal in accord
ance with the act of congress-.
1t is the declared purpose to get at
the root of the hazing evil and to extir-
pate the practice in a manner never be-
fore attempted. 1t was learned from
official sources that the hazing of kim
brough was even more brutal than was
first supposed. more dangerous in its
natural results and more blameworthy
in it's origin.
