It is the opinion of w. 7. Morgan,
the Hutchinson editor and legislator
on the side, that the railroad law of
the state should be amended in at least
three particulars and he believes that
it would be immeasurably strength
ened thereby He will make an effort
at the coming session of the legis-
lature to have the law so amended.
He thinks that the board of railroad
commissioners should be empowered
to take action on their own motion:
that n rate departmest should be es-
tablished in connection with the board
and that sufficient sum of money
should be placed at the disposal of the
governor to hire attorneys in addition
to the attorney for the board to assist
in the prosecution of special actions
and also to cover all expenses needed
in securing necessary evidence.

1 Present indications are that the leg

! Of which will be the election lottery the
other day between A. d. Wilcox and
Sheffield ingalls,, in which ingalls, got
the long straw and the certificate of
election as representative from Atchl-

If there were no election for United
States senator this year. this winning
of ingalls, in the way he did or in any
other way would not have caused the
ST. .htest ripple on the legislative wave.
The Republicans would have taken his
victory as a matter of course.
But there is to be an election Tor
United States senator and from the wa y
things look now it win be the overshad-
owing question to be determined at the
coming session, and the all important
question is as to how the representa-
tives are lining up for the various can
didates.
IN view OF the fact that it is openly
charged that Wilcox was himHammed
out of the certificate of election IN the
Interests Of the Curtis candidacy 1t. IS
likely that Wilcox. although Demo-
crat, viii find many good Republicans
at his back, demanding the square
deal" The anti Curtis element would
much prefer to see a Democrat seated
than ingalls, who is supposed to be Tor
Curtis from start to finish.
Ordinarily it would seem to be the
height of political folly for a Democrat
to hope to win a contest IN mouse
where the membership is three to one
against him. but it may not be so in
this case. If Wilcox can tring forward
a reasonable plea that he was cheated
out of the seat he will al least, nave
an attentive jury to pass upon the point
as to whether he shall be accorded
contest trial and have a recount Of the
votes. He claims that a recount Of the
votes would show his election by plu-a
rality over ingalls, of at least twenty
five.

ON HORNS OF A DILEMMA.
NEW PHASE OF THE HAZING
SITUATION.
Prosecution In Hazing Cases May
BE Benefited By Procedure
The Authorities
Puzzled.
THE WORK OF THE COURT is
INCREASING.

Lieutepant- Commander T. p. Ma
gruder, aide to Superintendent Sands.
and who has charge of the preparation
of the charges and specifications upon
which midshipmen are tried before
the court martial, said yesterday after
noon that the only charge which had
been prepared mp to this time in addi-
tion TO those already tried was the one
against Midshipman z. b. Marzoni.
However. he said, "there will
be charges in new case ready for
the court as soon as it has disposed of
the previous, aud / cannot say when
the end of it will come. y
A most significant change of proce.
dure will be inaugurated rs TO the
drawing OF the charges in subsequent
cases. In all the cases so far tried
the charge has been framed under the
act of 1874, under which active par
ticipation in hazing must be proved
to MAKE out the offense. In future
cases the charges will be framed under
the amendment to the law approved
March 3, 1908 The words of this act
make it an offence. punishable by dis.
missal ito participate in, encourage or
countenanoe hazing.
There is no question that advantage
of the provisions of this Act can be
taken, as Attorney General Moody, in
his opinion in which he ruled that
the Superintendent of the Naval Acad-
emy did not have power to summarily
dismiss a midshipman for hazing upon
knowledge gained by his own investi-
CATION, said that the Act of 1908 was
amendatory Of the Act of 1874 so far
AS it related to hazing and that the
summary power of dismissal granted
to the Superintendent In the latter
Act was intended to be used only after
conviction by a court martial. No
doubt is therefore entertained that
the court martial now in session at
the Academy can try cases in which
the charges is framed under the
amended Act.
The new phase of the situation in
dicates apparently that the naval au-
thorities are on the horns of dilemma.
Less evidence is certainly required
to substautiate the charge of encourag-
ing or participating in haziDg than a
charge of actively engaging in it. On
the other hand the evidence will be
harder to procure owing to the fact
that the witnesses can more readily
claim immunity from answering ques.
tions on the ground that they would
mere presence might mean encourag.
ing or oountenancing hazing. How
ever, the prosecution is likely to ben
eft on the whole from the new proce-
dure, as it is likely that the court
will draw a line in its rulings which
will admit the testimony of many
witnesses, who were present during
haZing, but not under such circum-
stances as would indicate their en-
couragement or countenancing of it.
1t is clear that when a first class
man is indulging in hazing, under
classmen are only present under com
pulsion and no offense could be imput-
ed to them a printed form for the
charge under the Act of 1903 has been
made out by order of the Superin-
tendent and there is every appearance
of a wholesale use of them.
