who were put on the black list by the board
which investigated hazing. Many of the boys

by court martial but the findings and sentences
have not been acted on; three have been ar

naming thirty do not know what is 10 happen
to them.
No one seems to be clear in his mind as to
the exact effect on these cases of the passage
of the new act relative TO hazing. Secretary
Bonaparte's opinion is that, while under the old
law every one Of these thrty-tive young men
would have been obliged 10 appear before a
court martial. under the new law they may
either demand a court martial trial or simply
submit themselves to discipline That means
that they would plead guilty and allow the Sec

hazing if the boys were on land. The Secretary
