NEW ORLEANS RACES

horse driver, owns the best two-year-old
at the Crescent city Jockey clubs track
Yesterday at New Orleans Bertmont
proved his quality by easily beating a
fast lot OF colts, This afternoon his hlly
Bermay In the second race showed clearly
that she Is in class by herself by de-
feating Dry Dollar and Creole Belle I'm a
gallop. Both Bertmont and Bemay are by
Albert.
The defeat OF Dry Dollar by Bemay
was q. heavy blow financially and to the
pride OF the Sullivanites. Big Tims'
followers were certain that the colt would
take the measure Of Bemay. and they
backed him heavily.
But Dry Dollar seemed like dead one.
Although ridden by Radtke. the clever
California Jockey. he had considerably less
speed than one of the big Chief" work
ers on election day. From first to last
Bemay had the foot of her rival. and
beat all of her opponents by four lengths
after leading the pack a dizzy clip from
start 10 finish. Dry Dollar raced in fourth
place TO the stretch, where he quit badly
and finished sixth.
Jockey Radtke. who made such n good
impression in the saddle yesterday inn
proved his percentage of winning mounts
today by riding three horses to victory.
He had the leg up on Van Ness winner
OF the third race; Nine. In the fourth.
and Lady Free knight, In the fifth. Good
odds were offered against each horse.
In two races, the third and last. Radtke
proved his merit as a rider, and 1t was
because OF his clever horsemanship hat
Van Ness and Lady Free knight were
winners. When IL came to finishing with
two tired horses Radtke was many rounds
better than Mcintyre and Sewell.

PRESIDENT SAYS
THAT DISMISSAL
IS TOO SEVERE

Washington, Feb. THE president to-
day made public a letter urging upon
congress a modification of the law against
hazing at the naval academy. Unless
congress shall promptly amend the exist
ing law. which makes mandatory the dis
missal OF any midshipman found guilty cf
any form of hazlng. the secretary or the
navy may be forced 10 dismiss 33 mid
shipmen from the naval academy within
the next MONTH I'm addition To she eight
who have already suffered this penalty
and the three whose cases are now await
ing the action OF the department.
Secretary Bonaparte, after urging upon
individual members of congress the neces-
sity for immediate legislation, finally laid
the whole matter before the president.
The investigating board OF officers APP
pointed by the superintendent OF the naval
academy has already brought to light
evidence resulting In the trial OF IL mid
shipmen. OF whom two have been acquit-
ted eight dismissed. one pardoned while
under sentence OF dismissal. and another
Mdshipman Minor Meriwether, Jr.-whose
case is now awaiting action by the depart
ment. has been found guilty and recon-
mended for pardon.
The investigating board has left with
the superintendent OF the academy evil
dence against 80 other midshipmen, who
will probably be ordered for court
martial
PRESIDENTS LETTER.
The presidents letter is addressed TO
Chairmen Hale and Foss. respectively OF
the senate and house naval affairs COM
mittees, and urges that legislation be
enacted at the present session OF congress
TO regulate the punishment for hazing
at the naval academy.
ha "
instances IL Is manifestly unjust 20 subject
a midshipman convicted OF hazing 10 dis
missal as frequently the punishment Is
quite Inappropriate 10 the offence COM
mtted. He suggested further that II Is
an error TO try midshipman accused OF
hazing by court-martial.
His idea Is that the power 10 deal with
such cases ought 10 be lodged I'm some
administration officer or body to deal
summarily with the cases. He says:
II heartily disapprove OF the practice
OF hazing and In common with those In
terested I'm the welfare of the academy
wish to see this practice thoroughly eradi-
Gated there.
But the punishment OF dismissal is al
together Inappropriate TO the culpability
involved I'm some forms OF hazing In
many cases these amount to nothing more
than exhibitions OF boyish mischief at
tended with no consequences OF any mo-
meat TO those hazed. and indicating on
the part Of the hazers only some exuber-
ance OF animal spirits.
Unquestionably these ought TO be pun
ished for under any circumstances hazing
constitutes a breach Of the rules, and the
future officers OF our navy must be
taught first OF all and as q foundation
for all other merits. strict and unques-
tionng obedience. But 10 punish these
faults of youth by depriving the young
man concerned Of his career in life is TO
commit a glaring injustice"
