ACADEMY
OFFICERS

Annapolis Md, Jan. 23-For the first
time since the present hazing trials began
evidence was yesterday before the court
martial tending to support the assertion
that officers on duty at Annapolis have
winked at hazing.
Midshipman Claude B. Mayo, testifying
in his own behalf. swore that Lieutenant
c. p. Snyder the officer in charge of
Bancroft hail last September, had used
language which was generally interpreted
by the upper class midshipmen To mean
that they should discipline the fourth
classmen by applying some OF the usual
hazing methods.
The case Of Midshipman Claude B.
Mayo OF Columbus, Miss, a member of
the first class was taken up by the court
martial yesterday
The naval authorities say they have no
Idea when the trials will end. but officers
who are connected with the court have
taken houses in Annapolis for the winter
Mayo introduced e s. Theall as his
counsel and made no objection to any
member OF the court.
Several members OF the fourth class
testified that Mayo compelled them to
stand on their heads
Midshipman Hugh Allen. the first wit
ness for the defence, said that he had
been Mayo's roommate for year and
half. Mayo, he said, was the editor of a
Y. NJ. {. A publication, designed 10 give
newcomers helpful suggestions.
Lieutenant Commander Charles B. Nc
Way. Jr., testified that Mayo was one of
the prominent Y. NJ. g. A. members and
Il has come to his attention that Mayo
considered this position as incompatible
with hazing The court then took a re-
cess
Midshpman n r. Reibe OF the frst
class testified as 20 the fourth classmen
laughing in ranks and said that Lleuten-
ant Snyder had asked Brainard what was
the matter with the fourth class and
Brainard replied. They don't get enough
OF it." The officer then asked him why.
and Brainard said: I'VE don't get at them
enough"
That's so," the officer replied. accord
ing TO the witness, and there was some
thing said. he thought, about the officer
going away after dinner.
Roland NJ. Brainard, with whom Lieu
tenant Snyder had the alleged conversa-
tion, repeated It substantially as did the
previous witness and testified that he had
the same understanding OF ~.
Midshipman Arthur +. Garcelon and w.
J. Eccleston gave similar testimony.
Mayo then told OF the conversation. but
he did not remember exactly what was
said by the officer about leaving the build
ing. although he received an impression
that he would do so. which was strength

Ger actually did leave the building after

AUBURN.

Large congregations attended the mass
es In St.Matthew's church on Sunday last.
Indeed. since Rev. Father Scheuren took
charge OF the parish as permanent pas
tor a few months ago. there has been
steady and healthful growth in the at
tendance at all the services. TSe mat
ter OF special interest last Sunday was
the reading OF the annual statement OF
the financial condition OF the parish by
Rev Father Scheuren From this Il ap-
pears that the total receipts for the year
1905 were s4742.02 and the total eXpendi-
lures S44ll,S9; leaving a balance on hand
Of $23063.
The total debt Of the parish. including
that incurred by the recent purchase of
the parochial residence on Park avenue,
opposite the church. is $Si76. Rev. Father
Scheuren announced that IL would be his
special aim with the assistance of his
parishoners on whose loyal support he
knew he could rely, to reduce this debt
by atleast S29ee during tite-present year.
Many donations. including supplies for
the sanctuary were made during
the year. the value Of which was nearly
$500 II was also announced by Rev.
Father Scheuren that he had secured very
artistic stations of the Cross which will
soon arrive and which will be paid FOR by
the various church societies and by per-
sons who wish to make one or more of
them gifts as memorials TO departed rel
atives or friends.
The census OF the parish. Rev Father
Scheuren announced shows about l25
families and about 100 children In the
Sunday school
Sunday evening the usual vesper SER
vice was omitted IN order that preliml-
nary organization OF n Holy Name soci-
ETY. might be effected. This society az
Rev. Father Scheurcn explained. has
proven Of the highest value In every
place In which IL has been organized. Not
only is II a powerful agency in leading
its members 10 2 punctual and regular
discharge OF their religious duties but IL
Is also remarkably potental In assisting
them to free themselves from any un-
wholesome habits or vices they may have
contracted IL tends 20 encourage right
living by the force OF good example By
making men more attentive to their re-
lgious responsibilities II encourages them
also TO attain a higher and more useful
standard OF citizenship
After Rev. Father Scheuren had COM
pleted his explanation OF the purposes OF
the society, a temporary organization was
effected and tho number OF names handed
In was very encouraging.
Mr. F r. Lonergan was chosen tempo
rary president and Mr. William Warbur-
ton temporary secretary II was then
voted to adjourn until Sunday evening
next at o'clock. when permanent offl-
GERS will be chosen. Following the ad-
journment there was benediction OF the
blessed sacrament.

ietic asyOctHtfurr- win nv held this evening

with having sold out the miners in the
Colorado strike, and Mitchell made re-
ply, claiming the statement 10 be lie.
Randall was expelled from the organiza-
ton.
Yesterday n delegate named A. F. Ger
mer OF Mount Olive. H., made the charge
that some OF Randalrs statements last
year were correct. Re presented letter
from Secretary Haywood OF the Western
Federation OF Miners. In which Haywood
denied the statement made in MITCHELL .
address of Saturday last. that Western
Federation members were taking the
places OF the United Mine Workers on
strike
Mr. Mitchell made reply 10 this in a
very heated statement, denouncing Ran
dall's action last year, branding Hey
woods statements as false and citing
three places where Western Federation
miners had taken places OF the United

tricts and IA and parts OF Washington

CHEERFD BY DELEGATES.
President Mitchell again referred to the
charge that he had sold out the Colorado
strike and was strong in his denuncia-
ton Of those making the charge. He was
loudly cheered
Mr.. Mitchell said that the association
he had with the members OF the Civic
Federation had always been turned 10 the
advantage OF the United Mine Workers OF
America.
He had not committed the organization
10 anything The Civic Federation was
composed OF 10 honorable gentlemen,
themselves employers OF union labor. The
cardinal principle Of the civic Federation
he said. was 10 maintain friendly rela
tions with organized labor. The civic
Federation had favored the trade agree
ment, and in recognizing the trade agree
ment had recognized organized labor.
True" he said, "it has men like Mr..
Eliot, but If we all thought alike there
would be NJ organized labor and no mine
workers organization. There would be no
necessity for them"
After the noon recess President Mitch
ell made the announcement that the COM
mittee, consisting OF the executive hoard
