SUSPENSION FOR
STUDENT HAZERS.
President Van Hise of Wisconsin Univer-

MADISON, Wis, April 3O.-[SpeciaI

MADISON, Wis, April 3O.-[SpeciaI.l
The hazing Of Joseph Pfifner, the
Stevens Point freshman, Saturday night,
will be the signal for action by the fac
ulty.
1t is said here today that President
Van Hise will make concerted effort to
wipe out hazing for all time. The hazers,
it is said, will be made to suffer for their
act. Pfffner is a student in the college
of letters and science. 1t is said he went
through the worst hazing experience that
any freshman has had here for a long
time.
Hazed by Own Class.
Pfffner was hazed Saturday night by
members of his own class for alleged
freshness" 1t is said that his chief Of
Tense was the expression that ''the men
Of Wisconsin were not sufficiently cul-
tured."
When he went to the university armory
to take part in a competitive military
drill. fifty freshmen, headed by ''The
Freshman King" gathered outside the
Phffners fraternity, refused the fresh
men admission. He locked Pfiffner in
the tower of the armory, and telephoned
for policeman to escort him to the Phi
Gamma Delta house.
Officer Threatens to Shoot.
The freshmen, indignant at this inter
ference, attempted to persuade the officer
to release the victim. On a refusal to do
SO they threatened to apply force, and it
was only with the aid of a revolver and
a determined ''I'll shoot the first man
who advances a STEP that he succeeded
in bringing Pfiffner to his fraternity
house. Ptiffner afterwards voluntarily
gave himself up.
The freshmen painted his face with
iodine, cut off few patches of hair and
exhibited him at the various fraternity
and sorority houses, where they ordered
him to sing. He refused and with each
refusal they clipped off another patch of
hair.
Senior Tries to Interfere.
A prominent senior, thinking the mat
ter had been carried too far, made an
effort to rescue the victim. 'Tll smash
your block" he threatened the fresh
man king
do it, cried the king" but the
freshmen discreetly hustled the senior to
the rear and averted an encounter. Pfiff-
ner was then brought to the gymnasium
pier and thrown into the lake.
Leader May Be Next Victim.
In justification of Pfffner, it is said
that the hazing, which was the most
severe that has been done in years, was
the result of personal malice by a few

especially OF those who know him best.
Ask the citizens OF Buchanan county
who delivered them from the land
grabbers' law and saved for them their
lands and their homes? Ask George L.
Carter who lifted the brakes and Ioos-
ed the wheels OF the great South and
Western Railway enterprise and start
ed it on its way from the coal fields to
the sea, scattering its milIioes OF dol
lars for construction work and supplies
among the people OF our section and
opening up to development some OF
the finest mineral and timber lands of
the Ninth congressional district? Who
brought out the charter of this great
railroad from the pigeonholes OF a
hostile senate committee and by his
logic and e,oquence swept away every
obstacle, almost every vestige OF op-
position, and triumphantly carried the
charter through the senate, thus MAX
ing possible the greatest enterprise
this sectinn has ever known?
Who was it that did this for Wise
and Scott and Dickinson and Russell
and Buchanan and Lee-for all the
great southwest section of our great
state? 1t was Robert p. Bruce, the man
faithful In the little matter OF standing
manfully by poor colored client, and
the man faithful in the great matter OF
opening the way to the immediate
development Of our immense resour-
ces, rs they could not otherwise have
been developed in half a hundred years
The people of the Ninth will not for
get either Bruce's faithfulness TO the
poorest and humblest man that con-
hdes his cause to his keeping, nor will
they forget his incorruptible faithful
ness in matters Of gravest concern to
every citizen of the grand district he
had the honor to represent in the sen
ate of Virginia. &C.
