~ . b g D.
The. grand jury of the Hastings Court
evidently has something UP It's sleeve
and there is no little curiosity In evidence
about the city Hall as TO what It is.
The grand jury was cmpannelled Mon-
day nibrning and after finding true bilis
against about twenty-five vlolators Of
the law announced to Judge witt that
they had not completed their Inquiries
into wrong doing that Is believed to nave
been going on in their jurisdiction within
the twelve months last past. The jury
were ut their own request adjourned
over to February 18th. Every member
of the jury is as mum as Il clam, and
the most 1udicious pumping has failed TO
get n hint from any of them as to what
is in the wind.
There Is all sort of speculation, and
one guess was that the grand jurors ex-
pected that the summoning of num-
Der of councilmen before the Henrico
county Circuit Court as the result of an
intmatlon that money had been used IN
connection with annexation legislation
would bring SOME grist to he ground in
the grand jury's mill. This guess was un-
doubtedly wide OF the mark However. II
aiiy Srlstt SHOuld SNOW UP IN mat ulrcc-
ton the mill would be found In good
grinding order.
Another guess, and probably the COR
rect one. is that the Investigation the
Board OF Police Commissioners started
last week into tho conduct OF policemen,
the doings of fake social clubs and the
selling of liquor on Sundays and to min
ors, Is not Mt an end. and further invest

PRESIDENT WILL
AID MID5H|PME
lie Urges Congress to Modify
Law Against Hazing at Naval
Academy.
THINKS PENALTY TOO SEVERE
rs Law Now Stands, Thirty
/. Three Midsllipmcii May BE
Dismissed.
lRy Assoclated Press.l

Y @
WASHINGTON, ID. c., February G.-The
President to-day made public II letter,
urging upon Congress a modification Of
the law against liazing, at tile Naval
Academy. Unless congress Shall amend
the existing law against hazing, which
makes mandatory the Dismissal of any
midshipman found guilty of any form Of
liazlng, the secretary of the navy may be
forced TO dismiss thirty-tlrec midshpmen
from the Naval Academy. within the next
month, in addition to the eisht who have
already suffered this penalty and the
three whose CASES arc aWatingftne actin
OF the department.. Fourteen midshipmcn
have been tried of whom two have been
acquitted eight dismissed, one pardoned
while under sentence Of dismissal and
another. Midshipman Minor Merwether,
DR.. whose case is now awaiting action
by the department. has been found guilty
and recommended for pardon.
The papers in the cases of Midshlpmen
Jules James. OF Virginia and w. r..
Boyd. Jr., Illinois, are before the depart
ment for execution of sentence of dis
missal.
The Investigating board has left with
the superintendent of the Academy evil
dence against thirty three other midship-
men. who Will probably ,e ordered for
court martial. The law will necessitate
the dismissal of each midshipman found
guilty.
The case of Midshipman Meriwether,
now before the secretary, will probably
come to the President for consideration.
The evidence in his trial for hazlng rs
to the character of his pranks Is the
ground upon which the question of his
pardon is being considered.
President Roosevelt. in his letter urges
that Legislation be enacted at the present
session of Congress to regulate the pun
ishment for hazing at the Navl Academy.
The President points out that. In some
instances, 1T Is manifestly unjust to sub
ject IL midshipman convicted of hazlng
to dismissal from the academy, as fire.
Guently the punishment is quite dispro-
portionate to the offense committed. He
suggests, further. that 1t is an error to
try midshipman accused of hazing by
court-martial. His idea is that the power
to deal with such cases ought to be
| lodged IN some administrative officer or
body to deal summarily with the cases.
