Naval CADET
BRUTALLY
HAzED

Annapolis, Md, Dec H.-Naval circles
and the public are deeply stirred by an
extremely brutal piece OF hazng that
took place at the naval academy Tuesday
night
The victim, Mdshipman Jerdone T.
Marlborough OF Germantown, Tenn,
fourth class man, was compelled TO stand
on his head until he was unconscious and
was left in that condition when his tor
mentors were about 'p be discovered.
Young Marlborough was taken 10 the hos
pital this morning
Admiral James Z. Sands superintend-
ent OF the academy, instituted a prompt
investigation II is said 10 have deve-
oped that Midshipman Trenmer CoffiD.
Jr., of Carson City. New, a third class
man, was concerned I'm the hazing and
that Midshipman Warren A. Vanderveer
OF Mount Holly. n. j.. of the second class,
was on duty, but did not report the
breach Of regulations
Within an hour Admiral Sands had
suspended two mdshipmen and had
formulated his recommendation TO the
department for action This IL is said.
was for dismissal i'm both cases. though
Admiral Sands would not so state i'm ad-
~
the navy department.
An effort was made 10 get further infor-
nation from Marlborough. but he has been
firm I'm his refusal TO tell the names OF
his other prosecutors.
Coffin was practically caught in the
act, however. and Vandeveer was on
duty In such a position that he must
have been aware of the proceedings
In connection with the condition of Kim
borough there is much speculation as to
the origin Of a paralytic stroke suffered
by Midshipman Henry &. Cooper of OK
ford. y. c., yestrday afternoon. While
cooper was In a class room he became
almost completely paralyzed on the right
side, including his vocal organs.
He was removed to the hospital. and as
soon as his condition would permit he
was closely examined as TO what might
have caused the attack. He stoutly de-
MED that he had been hazed recently, and
gave no information that would account
for his condition
While the authorities are inclined to ac-
cept his statement they are unable to
assign any cause for such a condition I'm
youth OF II except some external injury
or strain
Marlborough was before this board some
days ago and was compelled to tell things
which offended upper class men. His
hazing was evidently on thi saccount. IT
could not be learned whether or not
Cooper was before the board
This board will be i'm session for several
weeks. and its appointment together with
the summary action OF Admiral Sands
yesterday. IS the most telling blow that
has ever been dealt TO hazing fighting
and other code practices

raising two fingers as he did so to the
young man, who was swinging toward
him with the long, regular strokes OF
the mower.
But instead Of dropping tho scythe

do, this fellow merely nodded toward

De Masters frowned a little, then
forgot his irritation in watching the
lines of the figure as it swung nearer.
"Jovew he muttered again. ian

put him in the foreground Of the oak,
with his scythe. They shall typify
time and age and strength"
His fingers had brought up coin
from his pocket-now, almost uncon-
sciously, the coin was permitted to fall
back, and a larger one was brought
up in its place. 1t seemed more 1T
ting. The smaller would have done
for England.
As the fingers came from the pocket
with the coin conspicuously in sight
there was a last long s-s-s-swish Of the
scythe, and the young man was stand
ing by the fence wiping his face with
his handkerchief.
Now, what is it. sirY he asked
pleasantly. II did not want to stop
back there on account of losing SO

to his face.

DsvSee ~ which Any One Can Send IN
Electric Message.
A st. Louis man has invented
telegraphy novelty for the teaching Of
telegraphy and the transmission Of
messages, says the st. Louis Star.
The entire invention hinges upon an
ingeniously devised metallic plate. 20
grooved that when an electrically
charged stylus IL drawn across its face
1t repeats every letter Of the Morse al
phabet with mechanical accuracy.
This little plate is imbedded in q
composition base, which is attached to
one side Of q folding box. The box
contains the battery. 1t also contains
q key and sounder. with which the stu
dent repeats the telegraphic letters as
they are made by the transmitter.
The inventor Is Martin Armstrong.
an old telegraph operator, who lives
at 524 South Ewing avenue. The stu
dent simply takes the stylus in his
hand and places its point in the groove
and draws it down at uniform speed.
Al It passes over the electrical connec-
ton 1t causes the sounder to make dots
and dashes representing the various
letters of the alphabet. The transmit
ter can also be attached to a type
writer, 30 that any one who can oper-
ate a typewriter can send message,
and at the same time keep printed
copy Of it. No technical knowledge Of
telegraphy would be necessary to send
q message on this telegraphic type
writer. The keys of the typewriter are
30 constructed that they operate anoth-
er key, which causes a small metallic
point to pass over the surface of the
hansmitter, thus making distinctly
and with mechanical accuracy every
sound of the letter corresponding with
the key touched by the operator. AS
the key falls back into place the con-
nection is broken. An expert telegra-
pher can send message very rapidly
on this machine.
Armstrong has been a telegraph
operator for many years. He claims
that telegraphy can be learned by
using this machine, and that it takes
the place of q teacher. 1t is simple
device, which can be placed upon q
small table for use.
