HAZING TRIALS QUESTIONED.
Senate Orders Invest tEatiOn af the Legality
Of court S. Martial Of Cadets.

WASHINGTON. Jan 3O.-The Senate to-
day adopted resolution calling upon the
Secretary of the Navy for information as
to under what authority of law the recent
courts martials of Midshipmen Marzoni
and MAYO were conducted.
Question has arisen as to the legality Of
these and all subsequent trials, and the
matter is to he investigated by the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee. which considered
it at some length to-day. The courts
martial were held under the law of 1874,
which provided for the punishment Of mid
shpmen Ohon naval cadets for "the of
fence called hazing" This law was super
seeded by the law Of ,S95, which provided
for the trial by courts-martal Of all offences
committed by the cadets. Then there *
Doubt as to the consttutionallty of a former
act, because it makes the Superintendent
of the Naval Academy not only the accuser,
but also the officer Of final review, he i'm
posing the sentence.
The Marzoni and all the courts-martial
which followed. including those now IN
progress were held under authority of the
at of 1874, and, if that law was repealed
by the act of 1895 all the sentences imposed
are void. Having been placed once in
jeopardy they could not again be tried
for the same offence. Then, too, there *
another law in the way that passed IN
1903, requiring the promulGatlon by tho
authorities Of the Naval AcademT Of regu-
ations defining haHinE. This has never
been carried out, and in the absence of
the regulations specifically required by
law it is doubtful if trials can be had un der

Dear Sir:
Doubtless the people of your city,
like all Southerners, have been deep
ly stirred by the fearful calamity
that has ovcrtaken the cities of Mo-
bile and Pensacola. The immense
amount of property destroyed, the
,,u,nbsr of homeless people, the gen
cral wreck and ruin make it neccs-
sary that they should receive out
side help. The American Red Cross
society has undertaken to secure
and distribute money for these suf-
fcrcrs. AS you well know, the
methods of work adopted by this
society are such as to guarantee that
every cent contributed will be used
honestly for the purpose designated,
and will he applied in the wisest
and most economical manner. AS
Vice President for South Carolina,
| am authorized to ask the citizens
of Greenville, Laurcns, Union and
CpaItitllpuiS Couii,i'S W iIiih0 uoi't1
tions for this cause, and transmit
the same through me to the Presi-
dent of the Society in South Caro-
lima, Mai. A. G. Kaufman. Any
gifts for this purpose should be
mailed to me directly, and they will
be acknowledged, with the names
and amounts through the local pa
pers.
! Hoping that you will sustain this
appeal by some expression of your
own and that it will meet with a
hearty response, / am

opportunity. Young friend, you are
living IN commercial age the day is
gone when the poet, the musician, the
artist, was it." You must make
your success or failure against the
strongest competition the world has
ever known; you will be thrown
with thoroughly trained practical
business men, men who have studied
from scientific stand
point. Your father or great-prand-
father perhaps has made a snccess
without having attended a business
college, or perhaps any other kind of
school, but the business world has
advanced since they made their start
conditions have completely changed
is Just as essential for you to have a
knowledge of accounts, of how to use
typewriter, draw up contracts, use
the various commercial papers, how.
goods are bought and sold, shipped
etc, as it is for yon to know how to
spell or to write. The great majority
OF commercial schools only teach the
theory of bookkeeping; they give no
business training or practical work.
they prepare you only to accept the
easy cheap stenographic positions,
while the Atlanta Commercial College
goes far beyond this and gives course
OF bookkeeping, Commission Banking,
BUSINESS Training, a course in Short
