ADMIRAL DEFENDS
FIGHTS BY MIDD|Es.
Whiting Declares Annapolis Code
Puts Men on Mettle, to Their
Betterment.

By Publishers Press.
Kansas City, Dec. 16.-Asked about
the reports of hazing at Annapolis, Adj
miral Whiting, retired, who isfvisiting
in Kansas City, said:
Well, / We read those stories about
the hazing at the old school --you know
was in the class of '63--but / don Il
see where the system has changed a
great deal from what il was in those
days. Of course, where person is
hazed to the point of manning, it is to
be deprecated, but so far as the fights
are concerned, it seemed square enough.
AS matter of fact, I believe that a
better code of fighting exists in the
naval academy than at any college in
the country. For instance, a man II
challenged to fight for some breach OF
school discipline, is not put against a
man Of twice his size, but the thing
lis figured down to matter Of weights,
like all ring battles. Take the case OF
Meriwether. / guess all naval men felt
the decision would be just what it was
He was an under-classman and was
pitted against senior. In the bout
the older man received injuries, they
say, that resulted in death. But that
was all an accident, and might happen
elsewhere and any place.
II always figured it out this way
That man who could not defene
himself would not be much good II
fighting for. someone else or his coun
try; if need be: In fact, they put 8
man on his mettle. If he did not fight
he would have to leave the school,
GAS far the, hazing is concerned
it should be done away with, but re
garding the laws they are as. strict nov
as they can be. Dismissal from schoo
is the punishment melted out, but still
congress recently reinstated three boy
who had been ousted.. That does no
speak well for the carrying out OF tn
law. You know, boys will be boys, an
as far as the rules go, it seems to max
, but little difference in their real atti
tude.' 4s% h. t8e4.*5

In the opinion of Mr.. Tillnlan, the

Chicago, Dec. 16.-The western Co

the abuses complained of are involved,
leaving to the rest the control of such
committees as those on blanks, Gre
dentials, place of meeting, etc.
The committee on laws and 1egisla-

who met in Chicago and decided that
eastern insurance departments could
not be trusted to pass upon the con

DREYER, Ex-BANk|ER,
TO LEAVE '|'|| \
Chicago Man Convicted Of Misap-
preparation of $4,000 Is
~. Paroled.
BY Publishers Press.

Chic ago, Dec. s16.--After serving
nearly seven years imprisonment in
the Cook county jail, and the Joliet
penitentiary, for misrepresentation Of
$4,000 of the West Park board g
funds, Edward S: Dreyer, formerly q
prominent private banker and well
known politician, has been released on
parole and will return to Chicago in
time, to spend the holiday season with
his family. " s,s-,6
The granting of the parole marks
the end Of struggle for freedom on
the part Of the ex-banker, his. family
and friends, that has lasted since 1898.
Mr.. Dreyer was the treasurer Of the
West Park board, and under it's rules
was required to pay 2 per cent on the
moneys in his hands. Dreyer took the
| money from his private bank. and de-
| posted it with the National Bank of
| Illinois, the president Of which was
George Schneider, his father-in-l law
i This institution allowed him the same
rate Of interest he was required tc
pay the board. Tn 1895 came the un
| expected failure of the National Banl
i of Illinois and Dreyer's own institu
tion was soon carried down in the panic
which followed. He was unable t.
make good the park board funds, AM
after two years of legal controversy
was locked up in the county jai
where he remained thru the variou
! legal struggles conducted in his behal
until 1902, when the supreme court de
cided against him and he was trans
fererd to the penitentiary on an indie
terminate sentence of from one t
fourteen years.
1 His release on parole has been grant
ed in view of the fact that the jai
and penitentiary terms combined t
make up almost what he would hav
t served had he gone to Joliet after tn
| first conviction.
: Dreyer's father-in-law, the forme
!, president of the National Bank of Ill
: nois, died short time ago in Coli
! RADIO. He had never recovered frol
3 the mental shock caused by his fna1
. cial collapse.
