HAZING LAWS AT ANNAPOLIS
President Urges Upon Congress a Mod
itication of the Penalties Prescribed.

Washington, February 6.-The
President today made public a letter
urging upon Congress a modification
of the law against haZing at the naval
Academy. Unless Congress shall
amend the existing law against haZ-
ing, which makes mandatory the dis
missal Of any midshipman found gull
ty of any form of hazing, the seCTe'
tary of the navy may be forced TO
dismiss thirty three midshipmen from
the naval academy within the neN'
month, in addition 70 the eight VINO
have already suffered this penalty, and
the three whose cases are awaiting
the action of the department. -Four
teen midshipmen have been tried, OF
whom two have been acquitted, eight
dismissed, one pardoned while under
sentence of dismissal, and another,
Midshipman Minor Meriwether, Jr.,
whose case is now awaiting action
by the department, has been found
guilty and recommended for pardon.
The papers-in the cases of Midshipmen
Jules James, of Virginia and w. L.
BOYD, Jr., Illinois, are before the de-
partment for execution or sentence
of dismissal.
Tho investigating board has left
with the superintendent of the acade-
nv evidence against thirty-three otn-
ers, who will probably be ordered
for court mArtial. The law Will nee
cessitate the dismissal Of each mid
shfpman found guilty.
The case of Midshipman Mer1Wetner'
now before the secretary will prooa-
blv come to the President for consld-
Grafton. The evidence in his trial 1or
hazing as to the character OF his
pranks is the ground of which the
questions of his pardon is being con
sidered. ~
President Roosevelt, in his letter
urges that legislation he enacted at
the present session of Congress 10
regulate the punishment for hazlnS
at the naval academy. The Presi-
dent points out that in some Instance
If is manifestly unjust to submit Il
midshipman convicted of hazlng 10
dismissal from the academy, as ire
ouently. the punishment is quite ois-
proportionate to the oneLse commit
ted. He suggests, further. that 1t IS
an error to try a midshipman accused
of hazing by court martial. His idea
is that the power to deal with sucn
cases ought to be lodged in some al.
ministrative officer or BODY 10 oeai
summarily with the cases.

NAVAL STORES AT LOWER PRICES
In Jacksonville Market - Receipts
Likely to Turn Sayannahward in
Heavy Volume.

Although this port has been declared
an open market for naval stores no ap-
probable difference in the methods OF
marketing receipts is apparent and.
as formerly. the trade looks to Savan-
nah to furnish the basis of prices on
which business is conducted. This does
not mean that sales are made. howev-
er. at Savannah prices, for spirits of
turpentine nave been sold here at fully
n cent a gallon under this basis. 1t
Is understood that some of the factor
g houses have made contracts with
buyers for the delivery of their receipts
but on what basis has not been dis
closed.
No ARRANGEMENT has been made by
the local trade for any organization
for the collection OF data, the statis-
tics Of receipts or shipments. or of
posting of prices similar in functions
TO the Board of Trade of Savannah.
o SO far as can be learned. is any
such organization contemplated.
Shipments to savannah.
The probability that d portion OF the
shipments formerly made to this port
will be diverted to Savannah under the
new order Of things in the naval stores
situation would seem 10 be ut least
tacitly admitted by the local factors,
for 1t is reported that some of these
houses h a are now represented in

their shipments through that market

Large Crop Not Wanted.
In the country districts some of the

to maintain a high level of prices it
will be necessary to keep the crop one
of reasonable size and. therefore. they
are not extending operations as much
this season as they were inclined to do
at the beginning of the last year. There
are other reasons besides the desire to

FRICTION BETWEEN THAT Of

IPupiishers' Press1

Washington, Oct. president
Roosevelt is seriously considering
the advisability of postponing his Wis
it to Panama until after congress ad-
journs on March 4th next. He is
uncertain as to what conditions may
develop in Cuba, after Secretary
Taft leaves the island, and believes
it may be necessary for him to re-
main here until all danger of trouble
is past.
The President intended to visit
Panama next month. He wished to
see the progress being made on the
canal work and make it the subject
of special message to congress af-
ter his return.
The withdrawal of Governor Ma
goon has increased the presidents in
c1ination to defer his trip. 1t is no
longer denied that grave friction ex
lists between Governor Magoon and
Chief engineer Stevens and this con-
flict of authority threatened 10 de-
lay canal construction. The transfer
of Governor Magoon leaves Mr.. Ste
yens free to pursue the work along
his own lines.

armed intervention, but expressed
himself as gratified at all that had
been done.
No Official Announcement.
1t is understood that several mem
bers suggested the advisability of the
president making an official an
nouncement as to the administration
intentions towards Cuba, but they
finally concurred in his view that it
was unnecessary in view of the fact
that the annexation of the island had
never been for a moment considered
by the administration.
The president artlounced rnar ne
had earnestly requested Minister
Quesada to withdraw his resignation
and he believed it would be done at
once. 1t was said that the minister
lad taken that step in the belief that
the administration might be in accord
