LEGAL QUESTIONS ARE INVOLVED.
Ruling In Decatur Case May Lead
To More Convictions

Several legal questions Of great inn
pOrtauce arose during the course If the
second trial of Midshipman Stenheu
Decatur on charges Of haziug Which
began yesterday morning betara the
court martial in session at the Navel
Academy In motion to strike out
certain specifications as not c7utsitut-
ing hazing, the court was led to sub
stantially define the term hazi1R as it
is understood by them.
Again the court decided that the
Act OF 1908. which provides dismissal
fer euroursging or countenaucing
haziug is ameucatory Of the Act of
1874. which provides the penalty for
active participation in hazing. From
this decision was drawn the conclusion
.that the Superintendent of tho Naval
Academy has the authority 60 detail "a
court martial to try the offence de-
fined in the latter Act
\ plea in bar was then entered To
the ouiy specification against Decatur
on the charge OF encouraging and
countenanoing hazing. The plea
urged that Decatur had already been
tried upon substantially the same facts
in the former case and that his trial
on the specification would be putting
him in jeopardy twice for the same
offence. At the request of the Judge
Advocate the court adjourned until to-
day in order that more light might be
mad on this knotty point
In denying the motion 10 strike ont
the first two specifications the court
ruled that maltreatment of a fourth
classmau by the inhictiou Of direct
physical cruelty was not the only kind
of hazing but that any annoyance or
molestation such as the Requirements
of meuial services, making ridiculous
aud such like were also haziug. This
ruling practically settles the fact that
Petersen b. Marzoni whose trial was
completed Monday, has been convict
ed. Marzoni admitted that fourth
classmeD had carried articles of food
TO his room for bin, but the attempt
was made TO show that this did not
amount 20 hGzing. This ruling is I'M
doubtedly OF great Importance aud will
lead to the securing of many moro
convictions

The principal business before the
Senate at last evenings session was
discussion be ween Blair Lee, of
Montgomery county, and Senators
German and BreWington. of Howard
and Wicomico counties, respectively,
over a question of Senatorial courtesy.
AS Mr.. Lee saw it this courtesy had
been violated in the appointment Of
Mr.. Albert J. Almoney TO the newly
created position Of Librarian to the
Senate IL was hardly that. At lsst
Wednesdays session, the Senate, by
an order, created this post and direct
ed the President to fill it, which he
did.
Mr. Lee fought his point stubbornly
and won out. The vote was recon
sidered-19 TO 5. the President extend.

Mr. Lee declined to state his objec-
items to Mr. Almoney. beyond saying
that she is very Objectionable 70 a
majority Of the Democratic voters Of
my county as we'll as to myself " He
gave as his reason for this point that
the man so attacked could not defend
himself on the floor of the Senate.
But fer Mr.. Lees hostility, Mr. al
II opey would have been elected read

Lee allows his personal hostility TO
push his good taste rather far.
The first bill introduced in the Sen
ate was by Mr.. Gorman, of Howard,
at this mornings session. The first
bill in the House was by Mr.. PaiTo.
of Baltimore city, last night.
