OFFICERS WINK AT HAZING
Lieutenant snyder As-ents Himself
10 Allow Dis-ipliniRE OF
Fourth-Clnss Men.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. Jan 2 For the
first time since the rrIsent hszing trials
began, evidence was today given before
the court martial tending 10 support the
assertion that officers on duty at Annsp-
oils have winked at hRzing. Midshipmsn
Claude r. Mayo. testifying in his own
behalf. said that Lieutenant c. +. Snyder,
the officer in charge of Bancroft hall last
September had used language which was
generally interpreted b> tnc upper class
midshpInen that they should discipline the
fourth class men by applying some Of the
usual hazing methods.
When the court reaesembled Chaplain
H II. Clark Of the nsvaI academy testi
fed that Mayo had expressed himself as
opposed TO hazing and Commander T. c.
Dewey Of the department Of discipline
read Mayo's report at tho academy and
stated that II was very good. Midshipman
II. Riebe of the first class testified as to
the fourth class men Laughing in ranks
and said that Lie,itensat Snyder he'd asked
Brainard what wa sthe matter with the
fourth class men and HHainard replied
They don't get enough Of it."
The officer then asked him why and
Brainard said:
I'VE don't get al them enough.
THAT so7'' the officer replied. according
70 the witness. and then something was
said, he thought about chis oflcer going
away after dinner.
Rowland NJ Brainard with whom Lieu
tenant Snyder had the. alleged converse
ton. repeated it substantially as did the
previous witness and tsstihed that he had
the same understanding pf it.
Midshipmen Arthur E3 Garcelon and W.
J. Eccleston gave similar testimony.
MAYO then told Of the conversation. but
he did not remember exactly what was
said by the officers about leaving the build
ing. though he received an impression that
he would do so which was strengthened, he
said. by the fact that the officer actually
did leave the building after dinner. He had
then. he said. gone to the rooms of some
fourth class men and had put them on
their heads or caused them to da the six
teenth'' for short time each He had held
a watch. he said that the time would
not be too long and he scratched thei-
names from a list so that they would not
be punished twice On cross examination
he said the incident of the conversation
made deep impression on him because
he had often heard Of officers suggesting
such things to midshipmen, but had never
before heard II himself. The defense closed
its case at this point.
: Lieutenant Snyder was recalled by the
prosecution in rebuttal. He remembered
only that be had spoken only to Brainarc
about the laughter. He could not remember
! the words attributed 20 him, but would not
say absolutely that he had not used them
He denied positively. however that he had
said to Brainard that he was going &c
/ leave the building

CONFERENCE RESUMES WORK
Moroccan Delegates Must Refer All
- subjects 90 Their
Governments.

ADGEC Jan. 22.-The interns .ionai
conference o Moroccan reforms re-asSeIn-
bled at tn yn han this morning The
presiding : the duke Of Alrnodovan.
read messa from the Spanish Senate
and Chambe Deputies expressing hope
for success esue of the conference.
The Marqui conti. head of the Italian
missions repl. n the name Of the dele
gates. made a rzsnif1cant reference TO the
international character of the agreement
to be concluded here. This was interpreted
as referring to the Franco-German diff
Guilty over the question of the interna-
tional control of Morocco
The conference adopted four Of the six
teen articles contained in the report Of the
committee on contraband arms. Then. as
the sitting had lasted two and a half hours,
discussion Of the remaining articles went
over until Wednesday. tomorrow being re-
served for the ceremonies attending the
feast day Of King Alfonso. The discussion
brought out a lengthy discourse from Sidi
Mohammed el Mikhri the second Of the
Moroccan delegates.
He spoke concerning Morocco's general
attitude towards the conference. AS he
spoke in Arabic. the delegates listened
silently. not compre he nding word. Later
they decided 10 have a translation dis
tributed 20 the members of the confer
ence.
The next incident occurred when NJ
Reval head of the French mission.
answering the Moors request for time
TO refer certain features of the report to
the sultan. remarked that the Moors ap-
peared desirous to refer some portions OF
Il and not 10 refer others Thereupon Sidi
Mohammed declared that they were obliged
70 refer everything without exception to
the sultan. This brought on a discussion
among the delegates showing that they all
were similarly obliged to refer important
points to their respective governments.
The draft of the report under discussion,
besides providing repressive laws by the
powers, charges the Moroccan customs
authorities with the repression of contra
band along the coast.
Before seizing a foreign ship they must
notify the legation of the country TO which
the ship belongs and pending action on the
part Of the legation at Tangier, the Mo-
roccan authorities shall install a guardian
on board the ship. Upon the legations ap-
proval Of the seizure the contraband cargo
will be condemned the proceeds going TO
the Moroccan treasury while the fines will
be distributed between the informers and
the Moroccan treasury.
The draft gives France exclusive control
| over contraband on the Algerian frontier
and gives Spain exclusive control along
the frontier of Spain's possessions in Mo-
! rocco.
The general principle OF the plan is to
leave the coast surveillance with the Mo
roccan customs. but as the question OF
! Frances administering the customs comes
up later the Franco-German contention
| remains open.

One is always little hypocritical
in the beginnings of love. How can
you expect a woman, reasonable
woman, to confess to herself frankly
that a man whom she did not know
yesterday occupies already larger
place in her heart than all her rela-
tives, friends or enemies? She will
spend entire months, a year, perhaps,
in seeking for her preoccupations all
sorts of names before giving to them
their true one.-Madame Emile de
