MORE HAzING AT ANNAPOLIS
InvestiEation by Omeers UneOVers
Mild Case (Which wnI Ne
Dealt wfh Promptly.

ANNAPOLIS. Mh.. Oct 1L-NothWith-
standing the severe lessons taught the mid
shipmen by the eourts-martial and dis
missals OF last spring, hszing has again APP
peared at the naval academy. So far the
recurrence Of the practice seems to be an
Isolated case. Third Classman r. T. Cutler,
jr., whose home is in Calais, o.. has been
called upon by Superintendent Sands to an
swer the charge of assuming unwarranted
and unauthorized authority over a lower
classmsn i'm such way as to humiliate
and cmbarrass" Fourth Clsssman Godfrey
De c. Chevalier Of Bedford. Mass.
The incident was brought out by the in
vestigations of the boar dof officers at
tached to the academy and who are as
signed this extra duty by Admiral Sands
This board meets at stated periods. when
fourth class men are called before It and
questioned broadly as to whether they have
been hased or know of any of their class
mates who have suffered ike lndgnity.
AS soon as Midshipman Chevaliers case
was unearthed report was made TO Ad-
miral Sands, who ordered an investigation
and served notice on Cutler that he must
file answer in writing. This answer
will be placed in the admirals hands Mon
day morning and he will act upon it under
the provisions of the new Bonaparte haz-
ing law, passed by the last session of con-
gress. which abolished absolute dismissal
after conviction. by court-martal as the
only penalty for hazing.
The hazing Of Midshipman Chevalier is
said TO have been a mild case that would
be passed by the midshipmen under their
diferentiating rule used In the court-nar-
tials OF last spring, running Cutler,
| II is understood. went to Chevaliers room
and asked the fourth class man his name.
Upon being told he intimated that it was
too big a uiouthful. and said. Hereafter
! you will be known as - - giving the
! fourth class man a silly nickname.
1 Admiral Sands. upon learning of the case,
at once ordered thar Mdshipman Guiler's
name be read out" at formation. The
| admiral said this afternoon that he had
done this to place the offense with the
other infractions of the academy rules and
not to make It more important than it
really is. He seemed to think the case an
| isolated one. as the board OF Investigation.
I in it's examination OF several fourth clas IS
men from each of the twelve companies
/ into which the brigade of midshipmeu is
divided has found hut one other fact IN
any way relating to hazing. This was the
| case OF a youth who has resigned and
whose hazing occurred Immediately after
| his resignation had been accepted and
taken effect. but before ne had doffed his
uniform.

The retiring paymaster general of the

the very first-class, sounds a clarion note
for better pay for both officers and men

making the salaries fixed in 1870 wholly
inadequate for the proper support OF Of

for increased pay, the three Junior grades

mum for a second lieutenant is 81 400, of
a FIRST lieutenant $500 and of a captain
81, 500. For each fve years service I'd to
twenty years 10 per cent is added. which
is known as long jeopardy pay. From
their salaries these officers must iefrsy

all other incidentsls in the runnins of a

moving OF his family in his numerous

ALCOHOL MOTORS.

Torpedo boats driven by alcohol
motors are to be added to the
United States navy. 1t is claimed
that the alcohol motors are pre-
ferable to steam, gasolene, kero-
sene or any other known motor
for small boats of high speed.
The alcohol motor, it is said, will
effect a saving of so per cent. in
each weight and draught; thus an
alcohol torpedo boat of the same
length and speed of one driven by
steam power will weigh only half
as much and draw half as much
water. These are great advantages,
as will be at once recognized. The
decrease in weight will permit of
one or more torpedo boats being
carried on the davits of a battle
ship, and the lightness of draught
will enable the boats to ascend
shallow rivers and navigate the
creeks and inlets of the coast. The
use of alcohol for power purposes
has been made possible by the
of the free alcohol bill,
and it is freely predicted in en-
cheering circles that alcohol mo-
tors will come into very general
use within very short while.
