Chicago. March 13.-The price Of
Chicago union traction, common, broke

ed on the first information given out

The mistake was not realized until the

little doing in stocks today. The first
etep expected in the street car matter
is petition for a rehearing, by the
traction companies.
The attorney for the Chicago city
railway company, which operates lines

REPORT C[NSURES
NAVAL OFFICERS
Subcommittee on Hazing
Blaims Brownson, Snyder
and Cadet Officers
MANY oFFENsEs TRIVIAL
Two Hundred and Eiehty-one Mem-
bers Of Three Upper Glasses Have
Been Guilty and May Be Expelled
Committee Condemns Present sys-
tenn Of Expulsion.

Washington, March 13.-4The sub
committee named by the house COM
mittee on naval affairs to investigate
hazing at Annapolis, made its report to
the whole committee today.
Rear Admiral Brownson is censured
in the report for exacting a pledge
from midshipmen not to engage in
hazing, and for allowing boys to think
the pledge was personal to him, and did
not hold after Rear Admiral Sands be-
came superintendent. Lieut.. c. p.
Snyder was also censured mildly for
having countenanced hazing. Graduate
ed punishment for hazing is recon-
mended by the subcommittee, which is
firmly of the opinion that the present
system of expelling' all midshipmen
miral Sands and other officers now at
the academy are praised for the disci-
pline they are maintaining, and the re-
port shows cadet officers have been
chiefly responsible for hazing.
AS result of its examination of wit
nesses and records, the b-committee
found that PSI members Of the upper
classes at the academy, including the
class which recently graduated, have
been guilty Of hazints, and on trial could
be expelled from the academy. The
result would be a great and unneces-
sary loss to the government, in the
opinion Of the committee, who found
many offenses were trivial. The in
vestigation shows there are three forms
of hazing at Annapolis. physical haz-
ing, running and tagging. The physi-
cal consists OF efis,hting, compelling
midshipmen to stand on their heads
and other much discussed means Of
punishment. Tagging is the forcing Of
under classmen to do menial service for
upper classmen, such as blacking shoes
and serving meals. Running is the
forcing of under classmen to do rfdicu-
lous feats. One of the most popular
performances under this classification
was giving the exact imitation of sum
rise On the farm, which consisted OF
the imitation Of roosters and other do
nestle fowls. Under the forms of phys
ical hazing. sitting on inf1nity was one
most commonly practiced. 1t was gem
orally practiced at meal time, and was
the forcing of midshipman to main
tain sitting posture after his chair
was withdrawn from under him. The
cadet officers tolerated all such prac-
tices, and in fact, encouraged them,
according to report. Forcing young
sters to do such things was one OF the
cherished rights Of members Of the
first class entrusted with maintaining
discipline.

eminent has sent circular to the

that persons taken into custody for po-
litical offences, must Within twenty
four hours from their arrest be con-
fronted with the charges, and allowed

also generally insists ON expedition in

step on the part of the government is
the result of a tremendous outcry

ling them by administrative order.

carries an appropriation Of $29,134,-
900.
In explaining the bill, Littauer, OF
New York, said 1t provided salaries for
14406 public servants, embracing the
entire service. He at once proceeded
with an elaborate critical explanation
of increasing the power of the govern
ment bureau chief, and the helpless
condition Of congress in controlling the
expenditure of appr opriations Classi-
fication Of the salaries of government
clerks was he said, crying necessity.
Men doing exactly rhe same work now
receive some $1,800 some $1,000, some
81 400 and others a thousand. All this
tended to demoralize the service. He
suggested that the commission go into
the question. If business methods
were applied, Littauer maintained, 1t
could be conducted for half the money
it now costs, and with three-fourths
the number Of clerks. The door of en-
trance to this service was wide, but
