Resolutions Introduced In the House Res
qulring See'y BOnapart to Report.
WASHINGTON, Dec. l8.-That Jerome P.
Kimbrough, a midshipman from Maryland
at the Naval Academy was viciously hazed
and brutally treated by being made to stand
on his head until he became unconscious is
the charge made by Representative Pearre
(Rep,, Md in a resolution introduced
to-day, In which he asks that the Secretary
of the Navy investiga and report to the
House the conditions at the academy.
The resolution calls attention to the death
of Midshipman Branch and declares that tes-
timony shows that the practice Of tagging,
haZing and fighting is common and further
more Is "winked at and connived at by the
officers" Of the academy 1t charges that
the fault and the failure to maintain disci-
pline lie more at the door of the institu-
ton than upon the shoulders of the mid
shipmen.
The Secretary of the Navy is required to
reRrt to the House all information in his
possession regarding the Kimbrough and
the Branch cases, and which may come to
him as the result OF investigation, together
with recommendations for the conduct
and management Of the academy such as
would prevent q recurrence Of such affairs.
Mr.. Pearre also asks in his resolution
for the appointment of a committee OF the
House to investigate the conditions at the
Academy, with special regard to the laxity
of officers, and to make report within thirty
days and to recommend proper penalties
upon the trained officers for the conduct
for which they are held to be responsible.
Another resolution touching affairs at
the Academy was also introduced by Repre-
sentative Hefiin Dem, Ala.) 1t directs
the Secretary of the Navy to make a thor
ough investigation Of hazing at the Naval
Academy and to take the testimony of
the fourth class men for the. purpose OF
ascertaining whether or not they arc dis
turbed by upper class men in their studies;
There is disposition on the part OF the
Committee on Rules. to which these resolu-
tons and similar ones have been referred,
to await the action Of the Secretary OF
the Navy before passing upon them.

MAY WEED OUT AGED CLERKS.
Mr.. Tawney Wants to Know the Number
Who Have aChed the Arc Of 10


WAsHINoToN, Dec. le.--It was suspected
In the House to-day that one Of the reasons
actuating Speaker Cannon In the appoint
ment Of Mr.. Tawney to the craftsmanship
Of the Committee on Appropriations had
become apparent. Just before the House
adjourned Mr.. Tawney asked unanimous
consent for the consideration of a resolu-
tlon requesting the President to inform
the House OF the number Of employees in
Washington OF the executive departments
who had reached the age Of 10 years or
over.
Mr.. Mann (Rep.. Il.) inquired the need
Of the information.
Mr.. Tawney-It is desired by the sub
tions for use in its preparation Of the Legis-
lative. Executive and judicial bill 1t
wants to know how much OF the money
carried In that bill Is devoted TO paying
the, salaries OF clerks who are threescore
tunity to get into the civil service, but ap-
parently no way to get out.
Mr.. Man asserted that the same in
formation had been heretofore given to the
Civil Service Committee But nothing
be done now.' He hoped that the Com
mittee on Appropriations would not delay
the reporting of the appropriation bill until
the information had been obtained ex-
pressing the fear Of q long session other
wise.
Mr. Tawney assured the gentleman that
there would be no delay. To Mr. Gaines
Dem, TennD he said no action was medi-
tated by the committee. When the in
formation had been secured it might form
the basis of legislation If the House 80 de-
sired The resolution was agreed to-.
Mr.. Tawney said later that his object
was to bring to the attention of the country
the fact that under the ope ration of the
civil service law large civil pension list
had grown up and was constantly increas-
ing,
1.-THE inlet into the service ia wide open,
but no outlet exists except such as God

dence, affords. There is an intense and
