WILL STAMP OUT HAzING
Secretary Bonaparte Will Dismiss
Two Midshipmen.
MILDLY" Nnndcrveer, One Of the
marked" Ones, Denies That He
was Present at Time.

Washington, Dec. 16.--Hazlng OF
every kind, 1t is announced, will
be stamped out Of the naval acade-
my, regardless of the number of
dismissaIs from the brigade Of mid
shipmen necessary to bring about this
result. Two midshipmen will be dis
missed from the academy within a few
days by the secretary of the navy, the
one for ha2ing and the other for coun-
%tenancing it by failure, while on duty,
to report Its occurrence.
Briefly, these are the developments
in the movement against hazing at the
naval academy, When Secretary Bona
parte reached the navy department,
Thursday, he received an official report
from Admiral Sands announcing the
suspension of Midshipman Trenmor
Coffin, Jr., third class man, for hazing
Midshipman Jerdone Pettus Kim
hrough, fourth class man, by forcing
him to stand on his head until he be-
came unconscious, and Of Midshipman
Warren Able Vanderyeer, second
class man, because, while on duty, he
observed the occurrence and failed to
report It.

Such is the defense offered by Mid
shipman Warren A. Vanderveer in a
letter received here by his parents.
The young midshipman's father, DR..
George w. Vanderveer, will fight his
sons dismissal. He will protest first
to Secretary ~Bonaparte, and in case
that proves %unavailing, will carry the
case to congress.

The Confederate Veterans of jackson

Confederate monument from the Com

the lawn of the new capitol, and the
chances are that should the Legisla-

to be a lively fight. The Confederate
Veteran camp at Yazoo has passed res
o%lutions, declaring that the monument
should be moved to the new capitol, and
that is what has caused the interest.

Presidential lnauaurations.

Some of the newspapers say that the
death of Senator Plat of Connecticut,
like that of Senator Bate of Tennessee,
may be traced directly to exposure on
inauguration day Common sense PEG
Pile will inquire why two such eminent
old gentlemen would risk their lives
by standing out for three or four hours
on March / to see q man inaugurated
president of the United States. Both
of them had seen inaugurati0ns before,
so there was nothing new in this great
show to them Each was an eminent
person in his own right and did not
need airy reflected glory from the presi-
dent of the United States Senator
Platt was beginning his twenty fifth
year in the senate; Senator Bate was
beginning his nineteenth year, had
twice been governor of a great state,
had been a major general in the Con
federate army and a soldier in two
wars, SO that they had none of the
usual incentives to rubber necking"
on that occasion What, then, induced
them 10 face that hyperborean blast:
Simply the desire to stand we'll at
court MacaHlay tells a story to the
effect that some English duke, well adj
vanced in years, in order to win the
favor of his then majesty and future
majesty engaged in certain sport with
King George ", then q boy in kits
wherein the part of the Prince of
Wales was to shoot at the eminent
duke with bow and arrows. and the
part of the duke was to fall down at
each shot as if slain by the small
archer At first blush it would seem
there was something wrong with his
grace's head. but when we consider
other fantastic capers which ambition
has caused men to cut it is not to be
wondered at The truth is that the
Inauguration business is tomfoolery.
1t should take place in the house Of
representatives,. where the president
and a sufficient number of witnesses
could be comfortable Either that or
the date should be changed Most Of
the persons who constitute the vast in
auguration crowds which the Washing
ton papers boast of would go as readily
to see a five headed calf in fact, most
OF them would pursue the veal.

Alliance Of Farm and Factory.

Recently the Pennsylvania State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor held a meeting at
Williamsport W. T. Hill, master of
the state grange, was present as fra
ternal delegate, and resolutions were
adopted looking to the complete per-
lection of an alliance between the
above named organizations. The reso-
buttons pledge the members to vote
only for candidates for Office who will
agree to vote for the establishment of
the advisory initiative and an advisory
referendum in national affairs. These
two organizations will have an uphill
fight against the Republican machine
in Pennsylvania While the movement
is nonpartisan, its success in that state
could mean but one thing-the same
thing that happened to the Republican
party in Kansas when the Populist
wave struck 1t some years ago.
