HAZING, AND CONGRESS-.
Interference at annapolis Largely
Blamed an Committee Report.
From The Tribune Bureau-l

]
Washington, March misrepresentation Vree-
land chairman of the subcommittee appointed
TO investigate hazing conditions at Annapolis,
submitted his report 10 the House Committee
Naval Affairs to-day. The report is a
boomerang to Congressman who favor extreme
legislation to regulate hazing at the academy.
Political influence. It is charged, is exerted to
prevent strict enforcement of the regulations,
On this point the report says:
IN enforcing discipline at Annapolis The Congress
makes by law the highest standard OF conduct and
often Congressman seem to believe that these laws
are made to apply to- midshPmep from other dis
from some districts they seek through the secre-
mdshpmen from the punishment provided by
Congress the superintendent of the academy
aside by political influence his usefulness and
authority in the school are impaired
The decision reached by the committee as the
result of the investigation is that discretionary
power in dealing with hazing cases should be
vested with the superintendent. The report says:
Under the law the sEee9ns deaPito@ On

vested in him lost TO the government The pun

GTe9n undsr the ta% ne oenee comng to his
knowledge. matter how trivial
Graduated punishment is recommended by the
subcommittee. Further suggestions are that
the number Of disciplinary officers in command
OF divisions should be increased to six; that each
incoming class at the academy should receive
special instructions the laws and regulations
relating to hazing; that there should not be ire
quent changes of superintendent commandments
and disciplinary officers, and that class fighting
should be depressed absolutely.
Prison discipline" with large number of adj
ditlonal officers stationed at the academy. is not
favored by the subcommittee. Naval OFF,

along prison lines. Lives and valuable property
will be intrusted to their care perhaps. at times
Of great Importance in their country's life. In
this school they must acquire habits of self
control. The system of discipline at Annapolis
rests upon the fidelity of the cadet officers.
When they fail IN their duty the system breaks
down"
AS a result of its examination of witnesses and
records the subcommittee found that PSI MEM
bers Of the three upper classes at the academy
including the class which was recently gradu-
ated have been guilty of hazing and on trial
could be expelled from the academy. The re-
suit would be a great and unnecessary loss to
the government. in the opinion of the committee

some thoroughfare In the District other
than the one In Coutheast Washington
which now bears the title, the Commission
ers yesterday afternoon received a letter
from Adolph Van Reuth, jr, of 1881 Geor-

Reuth added that IL the improvement OF the
present Georgia avenue was undertaken
the movement to give the name Georgia
avenue" to one of the larger and more i'm
portant thoroughfares In some other Sec
ton of the District will be dropped. He
complained that the section In which the
avenue Is located is not receiving due at
tention.
Commenting on the Van Reuth letter this
morning, Engineer Commissioner Biddle de-
clared that the improvement of thorough
fares in Southeast Washington was being
taken UP In order each year by Congress
and that the work was being carried for
ward from the common center, or focal
point, of the Capitol and Library. The
sum of $4,000 for improvement of streets
in the southeast Col. Biddle continued, Is
carried In the District appropriation bill Of

The Post ONCE Department has given
permission to a manufacturing firm in Mas

an automobile which the firm has built can
be used successfully in the rural free de-
livery service. One OF the machines viii
be brought to this city in few days and
win be tried on several Of the routes near
by In Maryland and Virginia. The car
riers viii be taken over their routes by a
representative of the company in the auto
mobile. and will then make reports upon IL
to Postmaster General Cortelyou.
Fourth Assistant De Graw, under whose
direction the rural free delivery service
comes, said this morning that permission
had been given to this same company to
make a trial OF the machine over routes
adjacent to this city last January when
the roads were in their winter condition.
but that on account OF the large amount
OF business on hand the company was un-
able to make the test at that time. When
the request came this month Gen. De Graw
said he informed the company the depart
ment was willing to grant without a test
that the machine would work all right at
this time of year. and therefore he did not
believe test was necessary. The firm de-
sired. however. to make the trial both now
and next winter.
