tratiOn that an investigation was Or
dered by congress in respect to a re-
port that a cadet named Strang had
been killed by hazing. 1t was said
that his tormentOrs rolled him down
hill in a barrel which had spikes driv-
en- through It's sides. 1t was proved
that the cadet did not die from such
a cause and that he had never been
hazed. 1t was also during his admin
istratiOn that u rebellion among the
cadets occurred. The inSubordinate
students were members of the first, or
highest, class, and their action rendered
them liable to dismissal. They were
confined on the prison ship Santee and
deprived of all privileges until the re-
belliOn was quelled. A curious fea-
ture of it was their allegation that
they had rebelled because Rear Adj
miral Ramsay had ordered all their
heads shorn in order to get hair for
the mortar used in building a new resi-
dence for the superintendent, but this
was not the real reason for their action.

grain warehouses, appeared be-
fore Magistrate Rouse today and
was sent to Jail without bail on
four separate warrants. He ad-

that he did it for excitement, but
