DEWEY IS AROUSED.
Admiral Says Hazing at Annapolis
Should Be Stopped.

Chicago, Dec. 21.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Admiral Dewey has taken an en-
phatic stand against the hazing prac-
tees which prevail at the naval acad-
envy at Annapolis: at is a disgrace
full condition of affairs he said. cit
calls for prompt and vigorous remedy.
The secretary Of the navy should be
empowered to dismiss instantly any
boy caught in the act of hazing and
the culprit should be deprived of all
hope of getting back. He should be
dismissed and excluded forever"
The naval academy is the cradle of
the navy, and there, in the opinion of
the admiral, should begin the inculca-
ton of the principles of obedience to
law and the regulation which are es-
sential to the maintenance of an eff
cient service.
tOf course boys are the same all
over the world; they will be boys
said Admiral Dewey. IT am not op-
posed to fair fighting when circum-
stances are such that it is the proper
thing to resort to. We co not want
in our navy men who hesitate to re-
sent an insult. But we do not want
prize fighters, and it is unfair and IN
manly for several boys to attack one.

had authority to dismiss the boy in

chance of getting back, there would

Look at Mrs. Ogden Goelet's case.
She declared she had been robbed of
$4,000 worth of jewels. and the police
of America and Europe turned in and
worked for her. Those men worked
day and night to find Mrs Goelet's
thief. The cost of their labor came to
more than the jewels cost And in the
end-she had put the jewels IN safe,
and then forgotten.
