RESERVES HIS DECISION.
In The Cases of Midshipmen James
Aud Boyd, Jr.

Secretary Bonaparte has reserved
his decision in the cases of Midship-
men Charles NJ. James, of Iowa, and
William I. Boyd, Jr., of Illinois, mem.
bers of the second class. both of whom
are under sentence of dimissal for haz-
ing. Before taking action on these
cases the Secretary will look more
closely into the facts, and possibly
consult the President.
1t is not clear to the department
whether the ends of Justice will be
better served by recommending the
accused to the clemency of the Presi-
dent or by approving the sentence of
dismissal. The Secretary had already
signed an order for the dismissal of
Boyd and had prepared an order to the
same effect in the case of James,
when he decided to consider the cases
further. A telegram was received here
countermanding the order regarding
Midshipman Boyd-that in the case of
Midshipman James had not left the
department.
The announcement that Midshipman
Jules James, of Virginia, was impli-
Gated in .hazing was incorrect. The
latter has not been reported for hazing,
and the mistake was due TO a confu-
sion of initials.

Hazing Laws Unfair.

1t is the opinion of the Committee
on Naval Affairs that the laws dis
missing midshipmen for hazing are
unjust and unfair A conference was
held at the White House between the
President aud a subcommittee of the
Naval Aaffirs Committee of the House
repecting proposed legislation regard
ing hazing at the Naval Academy. 1t
is desired to frame legislation along
the lines of the Presidents letter to
Chairman Hale and Chairman Foss. re-
spectively, of the Senate and House
Naval Affairs Committees. The COM
mittes is in accord with the views of
the President and Secretary Bonaparte
that the existing laws are not quite
far and that dismissal from the Acad-
emy should not necessarily follow a
conviction of hazing.
