Compelled to Forfeit Leave Because
of Deficiency in Studies-Employ-
ed Time in Alleged Hazing.

Mann his counsel, having addressed the

legged In five different Instances. Mayo is
charged as having been the last of three
Offenders with hazing during September
last, when he was compelled to forfeit his
leave because he was deficient in some of his
studies.
Midshipman Chester A. A. Bloebaum was
brought before the court martial in order to
verify In his presence part of the record of
his case
In defense of Midshipman James Mr. Mann
urged that the evidence, properly construed,
did not support any Of the specifications.
That one alleging that Fourth Classman
Winters was stood on his head was too in
definite as to time. AS to the second speci-
flcation he said that Kennedy had been con-
Trajectory as to time. and so had Van VAL
kenberS when telling Of the same incident.
Questioned Caldwel1's Veracity.
McCrary, the subject of the third specifi-
cation, Mr.. Mann said, had also been indef-
mite. The counsel claimed that the testi-
mony Of Caldwell as to being haze1 and
being called foul name by James was not
reliable. Caldwell. he said. was evidently
not telling the truth. His manner showed
this the counsel said.
Specification five. as to Fourth Classman
MacFarlane. Mr.. Mann said, was also in
definite, it being merely fixed as within
forty-ffve days. MacFarlane's and DreseIs
testimony showed that anything done was
carried out in a spirit of fun and friendl-
ness.
There was no criminality in the allega-
tions of hazing Chapline, as the under class
man himself had said that he had not mind
ed 1t, Mr.. Mann urged. IF some acts as are
charged to James are hazing this court will
be here until Christmas" concluded Mr..
Mann, "and there won't be enough midship-
men left to hold Y. M CA. meeting"
At II o'clock the court was closed for the
consideration of a verdict.

THE HIGHWAY BRIDGE.
Secretary Taft Recommends Time of
Completion Be Extended.

Secretary of War Taft has transmitted
to Congress. with favorable recon-
mendation, draft OF a joint resolution ex-
tending the time for the completion of the
Highway bridge across the Potomac The
secretary calls attention to the fact that
the time for completing the bridge was ex-
tended to February II. 1906, and adds:
while the work on the bridge proper
will be completed by that date, and the
opening of the bridge and approaches need
not be delayed. 1t is estimated that it will
require the entire working season OF 1906
to finish all OF the work on the approaches,
the most important work being the con-
struction OF a steel concrete bridge over
the Washington channel in the Washington
approach
The chief of engineers considers It Inn
portant that the time ofscompletion should
be further extended for period of one
year, and has prepared a draft of Joint
resolution providing for such extension,
which I transmit herewith. with the re-
quest that 1t be introduced and acted upon
fayorably at the earliest practicable dafe''
