SAY OFFICER APPROVED.
Testimony to Shoe Lieutenant
Winked at annapolis Hazing.

Annapolis. Nd. Jan. 22-Evidence was given
to-day before the court martial tending to sup
Port the assertion that officers on duty at An
napolis have wnked at hazing. Midshiprnan
Claude B. Mayo swore that Lieutenant c, P
Snyder, the officer in charge OF Bancroft Hall
last September, had used language which was
generally interpreted by the upper class mid
shpmen to mean that they should discipline the
fourth class men by applying some OF the usual
hazing methods
Midshipman H. b Reibe. Of the first class
testified as to the fourth class men laughing in
ranks, and said that Lieutenant Snyder had
asked Brainard what the matter with the
fourth class. Brainard replied: They don't
get enough Of it,
The officer then asked him why, and Brain
ard said: We don't get at them enough"
That's So the officer replied, according TO
the witness, and then there was something said.
he thought, about the officer going away after
dinner.
Lieutenant c. 2. Snyder. called by the prose-
cution, remembered only that he had spoken to
Brainard about the laughter He could not re-
member the words attributed to 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 TO leave the
building.

WANT PACIFIC COAST co.
Hill and Hartman after Roads
Docks and Terminals.

While It denied yesterday that the Hartman
interests had acquired control Of the Pacific Coast
Company, it was strongly intimated that an effort
was being made in another direction TO obtain the
control and II was not denied that the Union Pa
cifc would be glad to have the property The St
Paul and the Great Northern are also understood
TO be actively interested, and the St. Paul as was
told In The Tribune yesterday. IS said to have
acquired a large block of the stock
The Pacific Coast Company owns valuable coal
mineral and timber lands in Washington termi-
nal and dock facilities in Seattle and dock facii-
along the Pacific Coast from Alaska TO Santiago
The railroad owned by il is SIS miles long and
consists largely OF spurs various mines The
main line runs from Seattle 10 Franklin, Wash
and is 1858 miles long.
The principal value OF the company to one OF
the transCOntinental lines would be in its terminal
and dock facilities at Seattle. and II Is for these
that Mr. Hartman and the Hill roads are under
stood 10 have been seeking II. The stock OF the
company is widely distributed and closely held II
consists OF 81 $4,000 cent nOn-cumulative first
preferred, 100000 per cent non-cumulative sec
ond preferred and 100000 common.
The Chase National Bank and the Fourth Ma
tousl Bank have been understood 10 control the
company but il was said yesterday that control
did not lie with the directors, and that If Mr. Harr
man any one else wanted 10 obtain control he
would have buy IL in the open market, as the
MANAGEMENT could not turn il over.

to contract provisions for sprinkling rock bal
lasted roadbeds for providing free conduits for
police and fire alarm wires and for preventing
advertising on the company's properties. It was
well known, he said. that no advertising was
permitted on Pennsylvania trains but the COM
pany did not want to have forced on It a con-
tract not to permit any advertising, under PEN
atty Of franchise forfeiture.
When Mr.. Rea went to the rooms OF the Rapid
Transit Commission in the afternoon, he was
accompanied by Edward NJ Shepard. of the
Pennsylvania's counsel Controller Metz at
tended the conference as member Of the con-
tract committee, with Rapid Transit Commits
sioners Orr, Starin and Smith. Mr. Nichols was
present to represent the franchise bureau, and
George L. Rives acted as counsel for the Rapid
Transit Commission.
After the conference adjourned for the night
It was announced that the contract committee
had agreed to drop the contract stipulation re-
garding freight rate discrimination against the
city, but that the question Of money charges for
the fra nChse had not been reached. Mr. Orr
said it had been decided to eliminate the ques-
ton OF the regulation Of railway freight rates,
as the company had no power to regulate rates
Of other railroads. It had been decided also, he
said, that the city would not have the right to
control the stringing OF police wires on the COM
pany's private property, except on the bridges
over city property.
You must remember" Mr.. Orr said. that no
decision by the contract committee Of the Rapid
Transit Commission is final, because the ques-
tons have TO come before the Board Of Estimate
and Apportionment on our recommendations"
Ex-Controller Grout who instrumental in
having the new contract stipulations prepared
by Mr. Nichols, said yesterday that he believed
the old contract for franchise which failed TO
pass the Board Of Aldermen. did not give to the
city adequate payment for the privilege Of run
ming trunk freight line through the city. AS
70 the rate provision. he said:
Here is an opportunity for the city to protect
itself against freight rate discrimination by the
railroads. II has the right to insist such a
contract provision as a return for the privilege
Of having trunk freight line run through II.
This is not matter of legislation, but Of con-
tract. a business proposition. which the railroad
can agree to if it is willinN live UP TO it. With
all the cutlery there has been against unjust
freight rate discrimination against this city, II
seems to me that the opportunity Of the city to
protect itself should rot be neglected

AGAINST THIRD TRACK.
City Club Protests to Mayor
ViOIatiOn of Lac CHARGED.

The construction by the Interborough Railroad
Company OF a third track the 8d-ave. elevated
line between 44th and SD SITS. has called forth a
vigorous letter Of protest to Mayor Mcclellan from
the City Club. This letter. signed by Lawrence
WELLER, secretary Of the club. behalf Of the
trustees. says that the building OF the third track
Is in direct violation Of the and without the
sent Of the local authorities
NO more shameless attempt TO steal a fran
chise Of great value, says Mr. WELLER. in his com
munication TO the Mayor. and to deprive the peo-
pie OF their rights, has probably ever been perpe
trated in the city Of New York"
The efforts of the corporation, the City Club
charges, are particularly fragrant because OF the
fact that on May 81 1895, franchise for the third
track which is now being constructed denied by
the Rapid Transit Commission. The City club
complains also Of the manner in which the same
interests have in a similar way proceeded with
the Steinway tunnel. This work, despite repeated
protest, goes on unhindered
Mr., WELLER puts the matter squarely before Mayor
Mcclellan. 1t is iuCOnceivab le. he says that the
city Of NewYOrk should be helpless TO protect Its
franchise rights
II II is without power, he says II Is the duty Of
the Mayor to request the Legislature 10
give such power TO the local authorities as will
prevent these practices. II. on the other hand,
his administration has the power, Mr. WELLER says,
Il IS plainly the Mayors duty TO take such action
viii prevent further work the Sd-ave. elevated
road and the Steinway tunnel. The Mayor can stop
