CHALLENGE SUSTAINED.
Member of Annapolis Court Martial
Excused,

y challenge against Prof. Philip r. Alger.
a member of the court martial which is try
ing Midshipman Claude B. Mayo on charges
of hazing, was sustained at Annapolis yes
terday, and Prof. Alger was excused from
further attendance during the trial. The
ground upon which the challenge was based
was that Prof. Alger had talked with Lieut.
{. T. Snyder, witness, with regard to- the
latter's testimony, and that he expressed
an opinion before the court upon certain
matters connected with the case before the
evidence had been completed.
When Lieutenant Snyder appeared before
the court after recess yesterday afternoon,
after The Stars report closed. to revise his
testimony. Mr.. Theall, counsel for the de-
Tense, asked permission TO put some ques-
tons. and it was granted. Mr. TheaII then
asked the witness If he had had any con-
versation with any member of the court
about the case. The witness replied that
he had had conversation with Prof. Alger
Prof. Alger then took the stand and
stated that he ha6 talked with Lieutenant
Snyder Monday night. He said that. Lieu
tenant Snyder was an assistant in the de-
partment of mechanics, of which he the
witness. is the head, and that they live IN
adjoining houses.
Monday night Prof Alger said. II
called to Lieutenant Snyder to come to the
front of the house and talked to him about
the work OF the department The talk then
drifted to the court-martiai. and l told
Lieutenant Snyder that the testimony was
still in an unsatisfactory condition from his
standpoint because he had not been given
chance to answer the direct question
whether or not he had any thought of
suggesting hazing to the upper cIassmen
by the remarks the witnesses stated he had
made. l told him that if this question was
not asked by the judge advocate L would
ask it, so as to give him opportunity to
reply"
Mr.. Theall thereupon interposed his chal-
lenge. stating that he had no thought of i'm
putting improper motives to Prof Alger
After lengthy consultation the court sus-
tanned the challenge. Prof Alger then
withdrew, and the court adjourned until to-
day.

his client had received practically
everything he had sued for and that ne
would get back the Crookston and st

not known the true value of the stock.
