Admiral Dewey comes down hard
on hszing at Annapolis. He says:
"hszing-of all the acts Of CO Sardly
conduct of which l have ever heard
hszing seems to me to be the worst
and to have the most alarming
possibilities, " he said.
81 can conceive OF Dotbing more
co wardly OF more brutalizing than the
hazing Of n man by d dozen others.
Several against one is certainly
inconsistent with the dignity Of any
man who expects to be an officer Of the
nsvy aud the midshipman who under
such circumstances participates in
hazing cannot from the very nature of
tnlngs be a credit to his country in
any capacity.
''Hazing has reached the limit OF
federation. Whatever the attitude
taken regarding it elsewhere, 1t simply
must be eliminated from the Naval
Academy. It has been stopped al
West Point, / believe, and it can be
wiped out at Annapolis.

TRAGEDY IN THE BAY TIM CLEMENTS DROWNED AS
 LAUNCH BURNED. New Pleasure Craft Had Just Been Put Into Water When Escaping
 Gasoline Caught Fire,
 Causing Death.

Mobile, June 9.-(Special. )--A mag nihcently appointed new launch, the "Alice k..' was destroyed tonight in Mobile River, and Tim Clements was drowned as a result of the burning of the craft
 The "Alice K." was a Mobile built craft, valued at $4,000. and said to be one of the finest gasoline crafts ever launched in the waters of this port. She was built for several young men employed with the SeaboardN Manufac- turing Company, and was launched late this evening from the Mobile marine ways.
 On board were about twenty persons. The launching was success. The launch, which was eighteen en-horse-pow- CT, made splendid record for a few minutes after launching. Commodore Ralph G. Richard of the Palmetto Yacht Club, in his launch, passed the newly foated craft and was hailed and asked for a lantern. Commodore Richard steered his craft alongside the Alice K. and passed over a lighted lantern. Almost instantly the new craft was in flames. It was thought the flames originated from escaping gasoline from the new craft. Commodore Richard at once turned the boat in which he had his party towards the eastern shore of Mobile River, and the Alice K. was also headed in that direction
 During the excitement Tim Clements, an operator of gasoline machines. who was on the Alice K, jumped overheard and was drowned. This was the only casualty except a slight burn on the arm by Charles Blalack, a young man who had been invited to go on the Alice K. at the time Of the launching.

Being Closely Guarded.

The sheriff's office Is keeping a close watch over the negro Robert Richard son. who is in the county jail here for safe keeping until June 27, when he will be taken back to Marengo county and In the jail yard at Linden hang for the murder of Dr. Fosque, which occurred near Demopolis about a year ago The other night when Richardson made an attempt to escape from the jail and had fierce struggle with Deputies Townsend and Cherry, he made the assertion that he might be killed but that he would never be hung
 That night after the attempt to es- cape he was removed to another cell and the force at the jail will do their best to turn him over to the authori- ties of Marengo county in good con- dition when they send fer him to be taken to Linden to be executed. As it will prove almost impossible for Richardson to escape from the jail here the authorities think that he has turn ed his attention to some method of suicide and that to prevent this that a death watch should be kept over the prisoner night and day and that the Marengo county authorities should make arrangements for such a watch being kept.
 That suicide Is contemplated by Rich ardson there seems no doubt on the part of the deputies. The prisoner is confined in a steel cage and yester- day morning Deputy Cherry climbed on top of the cage to see if by chance any of the bars were loose. To his waist he had buckled a pistol and Richardson followed his every move Thinking that he might in some way get the pistol out of his belt the de- putty took 1t out and handed the same to the Jailor who was standing close by The moment that Richardson saw he had no chance to get the pistol he went to one end of the cell and sat there quietly while the examination was being made It is feared that dur ing some night he might get some wires out of his coat and hang himself and thereby keep good the threat he has made that he would never be hung

 MT Scott has not yet entirely re- covered from the injury which he re- ceiycd during review Of the Alabama National Guards in Montgomery last summer On that occasion a horse kicked him and broke his left ankle. For many months he was confined to his bed, and although he has been able to be out for some time he is not yet able to get about with his old time vigor.

A Residence Entered.


 Between 10 and l o'clock last night some one entered the residence Of Mrs. John Broadstreet on Lauderdaie street. From the evidence which was left by the visit of the thief 1t seems to have been the intention of the intruder to do as much mischief as possible rather than to take anything from the house: close search of the premises showed while there was many things of value in the house which could easily have been taken away.
 Last night Mrs. Broadstreet closed up her residence and went to Lake Lanier as a guest of the Dixie Club on their moonlight picnic. The train bringing the picnickers back to the city reached here about o'clock and Mrs. Broadstreet went immediately to her home When she arrived there she found the. house lighted up and after gaining an entrance discovered that during her absence some one had been trance hav'"g been effected through a
 ar window.
 After lno presence Of burglars had been discovered Mrs. Broadstreet mo- search revealed that apout all that was missing was valuable Geneva watch. upon which in a monogram were the letters "A. B." A plain band gold ring ables from the dining room. While the thief had contented himself with steal ing these few articles he did consid- erable other damage. He had gone through the house and turned things around to suit himself. In Mrs. Broad streets bed room he had opened the irawers.
 In the yard he moved around to the front yard and there he began to de- liberately tramp around ruining flow CTS and other shrubbery. No idea as to who the thief was has been formed by the police but they have hope of obtaining some clue of his identity and days.

Ross Lewis Caught Hold of Live Wire

In Troy.
 Troy. June Especial )-one of the saddest accidents that has ever hap pened in this town, was the killing of Ross Lewis, the little twelve year old son of Mrs. Lucy Lewis of this city

 He was bright attractive child and helped to support his widowed mother, who has the heartfelt s$npathy of every one in the city.

Iuvc.sigasion Felt Here.

The butchers in the city market are complaining some over the fact that during the past few days that their business have been falling off consid . is not attributed to the hot weather but rather to the investigation of the Chicago packing houses and the dis closures which have been made during the past week Some of the butchers say that in the past their customers preferred western beef but now they ask for the meat which is killed by them.
 As a result of this the majority of them have countermanded their stand ing orders for western meat and are now only selling the meat which they themselves kill One butcher this morning stated that since the meat twleve good customers and that he fears that he will loose several more ing said that the demand for canned meats had fallen off considerable since the investigation and if 1t kept up there would soon be no demand at all for such product.
