THAT THE HOUSE MAY JUDGE
Representative Mudd Wants the Evi.
dence in the Hazine Trials,

Representative Mudd Of MARYLAND, a
member Of the naval affairs committee. this
afternoon introduced in the House q reso-
luton bearing on the various courts-mar-
tiai at the Naval Academy. The resolution.
which was referred to the committee on
rules, requests the Secretary of the Navy
to transmit to the House complete record
OF the proceedings, including the evidence,
In the recent trials by court-martiaI of Mid
shipmen Meriwether. Coffin. Decatur. Fos-
ter and Marzoni. and to transmit similar
statement as to the other trials upon
charges of hazing which are to be held at
the academy following the pending investi-
cation.
Mr. Mudd said today that as it is very
plain that the committee on rules opposes
action on the resolution heretofore referred
to that committee. and as the House is
manifestly not satisfied with the amount
of information thus far in its possession. the
transmission of the proceedings in these
cases, including the evidence which will be
printed as a public document will at least
furnish some light upon the trials and some
Indication as to the thoroughness of the in
vestigation.
Mr.. Mudd claims this resolution contains
nothing that Is not privileged, and unless
the committee shall report 1t within seven
will be in order to call it up directly in the
House by a motion to discharge the COM
mittee from it's further consideration. He
Is of the opinion. however, that the COM
mittee will favor the resolution, as it seems
to be conceded on all sides that Congress
Is entitled to be accurately informed to
just what is being done.

fled. Since that time Miss Haley and other
dfssenters who are said to number 1.5oO.

posed BILL which they say is framed In the
interest Of prominent educators, and offers
nothing to the great mass Of teachers
The original incorporators Of the associa-
ton, including President Nicholas Murray
Butler Of Columbia University, are seeking
the reincorporation under District laws, and
will be represented at the hearing by their
attorney. John B. Pine of New York. John

POLICE HEARINGS.
Two Officers Before Board ToGey on
Charges.

The police trial board held another busy
session in the gymnasium of the first pre-
cinet station this afternoon. The case Of
Policeman Hughlett of the third precinct,
which occupied most of the session yester-
day, was again taken up. with a re-exami-
nation Of several witnesses who had been
on the stand yesterday. The officer, 1t is
alleged, received $40 from William weaver
to have case noIle pressed at the Police
Court. 1t was testified yesterday for the
defense that Mr.. Hughlett protested
against dismissal of the case, although
that action was taken by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Taggart at the request Of
the prosecuting witness.
For the prosecution, the testimony
showed that after the case was nolle
pressed the $50 collateral which had been
put up was returned to the defendant, and
that $40 of that money was paid over to
the officer soon afterward. The payment
Of the money was denied by the defendant
and by his brother officer, English, who
was said to be cognizant of the facts.
The case of Michael Lynch was then
taken up, he being charged with interfer-
ing in civil case.

THANK THE STAR.
Letters From Schools That Received
Collections of Casts.

Letters from principals OF the successful
school buildings In the recent contest for
the collections of casts offered by Ths
Evening Star for the encouragement or
school roorn decoration are still being re-
ceived by the editors.
Mr.. Allan Davis, principal of the new
Business High School, under date of Janu-
airy II writes:
"On behalf OF pupils and teachers thank
you for the statuary presented to the Busi.
ress High School.
1.-The time for such an acquisition by our
school was most opportune; the excellence
of the casts is a subject of favorable COM
ment, while the friendly rivalry Of the
contest and it's unifying effect upon the
school have been in themselves worth more
than the effort expended in winning first
place"
From the Wheatley School the word IS
received OF much joy to the pupils and
teachers. The principal, Miss M. B. Pear
son, says:
1.-THE collection of statuary No. 5, won by
the Wheatley in The Stars contest for
classical statuary, was delivered at the
building Friday evening, January 8. Teach
ers and pupils are more than delighted at
the result. We send our thanks to The

be necessary for him to take any steps, but
says il there is any assistance he can rem
der his sister he IL ready to offer 1t.
In abiding to her long contest with Rep

clothed with political armor that 1t Is i'm
possible to penetrate.
In alluding to President Roosevelt. Mr..
Hull says he fully expects to see the Morris
incident taken up and thoroughly invesu-
gated; as any other course would not be In

dents character.
Mrs Morris sons have both expressed
wish to come to Washington, but she has
had them warned to keep away till sent

CHARGED BY PRINTERS
GOVERNMENT CLERKS ALLEGED
TO BE STRIKE BREAKERS.

Government clerks as strike breakers is
the latest phase OF the printers strike. The
strike committee, of which Mr.. T. c. Par

that class of "sun downers'' have en-
tered into the controversy between the en-
ploying printers and the Journeymen. These
so-called "sun-down" printers are employ
ed in the government in clerical and other
positions. Upon the conclusion of their OFF,
cial duties, 1t is said. they go to their homes
for dinner and then begin their second
days work in twenty-four hours in some
of the downtown printeries.
There are many men In the government
service who formerly conducted country
newspapers and printing offices They
learned the printing business in their own
establishments, and some of these, 1t Is
said, seeing an opportunity to make some
extra money on the side are filling the
places recently vacated by members of Co
lumbia Typographical Union.
There are others who In former years
were compostors In small towns in which
there were no typographical unions. These
men do not feel that the union restrictions
apply to them, consequently they are said
to be working at night in the Typothetae
offices.
Action Not Determined.
Just what action the strike committee
will take in this matter could not be ascer-
tanned. The feelings of the strikers, how
ever can be summarized In the statement
that they regard the work of the sun
downers' as officially wrong to the
strikers by interfering in a matter in which
they have no concern. and morally wrong
to the government, because, as printer
