K Mayo left for the Mssis- sippi town, where they secured the aid of Castleberry and after some search To- | cated their man at 8 saw mill about two miles from Hattiesburg Simmons was completely taken unawares and offered no

 MT. Spooner took issue with MT. Till- mans contention that the present con- dition at Annapolis was due to pardops granted a few years ago, but said that the President had only exercised his par doning power at that time because the law permitted no discretion of the trial of offenders. He agreed that the present law was too rigid, but took exception to the authority given to the secretary to dismiss. He moved to strike out the first section of the bill giving the secre- tary the power of dismissal. MT. Hale, MT. Hopkins and MT. Till man opposed MT. Spooner's motion. MT. Tillman said there were certain cases in which there should be no trials. We want this authority as a club to hold up before the boys and make em quit their devilment.' he said.
 On behalf of the committee MT. Hale accepted an amendment suggested by MT. Culberson giving to the President au- thority to review the verdict of the sec- retary of the navy.
 MT NelSon suggested compromise granting courtmartial on the application of midshipmen. themselves.
 Hale and Spooner Satlfled.
 MT. Culberson declared that the first section of the bill clothed the secretary with an unbridled license, and in re- sponse MT. Hopkins called attention to the clause permitting the accused mid- shipmen to be heard, and MT. Hale an nounced his willingness to accept MT. Nelson's amendment. This statement was satisfactory to MT. Spooner and he with drew his motion to strike out the sec- tion.
 MT. Lodge contended that discipline at the academy could only be maintained by vesting full authority in the controll- ing authorities. He expressed the opin- ion that offenses at the academy had been greatly exaggerated.
 MT. Dick advocated extreme measures. saying that nothing less would accom- plish the desired result. An amendment authorizing the President to set aside dismissals for hazing within the past year offered by Mir Newlands was voted down.
 The bill was then passed without divi- sion.
