given to the court this afternoon.
is that he hazed Midshipman Gaylord
Church Of Meadville, Pa, by causing
him to perform 81 No. 1872 as a usual
form Of hazing. Church testified to
this and Decatur admitted that he had
ordered Church to come to his (Deca-
tur's) room and that someone in his
presence had ordered Church to per-
form as specified. He denied, however,
that he gave the order.
Decatur's Story.
Decatur s explanation of his reason
for ordering Church to the room was
that he had smiled in ranks and was to
be reprimanded This in itself was a
breach of discipline and the accused
was put in a bad position when he was
compelled to admit that he did not rep
rimand Church, but heard him ordered
in the closet to be hazed. Counsel for
the defense will urge that, under the
act OF 1874 active participation in
hazing must be proved to support the
charge. -.t
The prosecution contends, however,
that the admissions adopted. with the
testimony by first classman P. r. Mar,
zoni to the same effect, is sufficient to
support the charge of hazing, particu.
larly as Decatur was the ranking mid.

M'CLEARY IGNORES
EDDY'S EDITORIAL
BY w. w. Jermane,

Washington, Jan. Representative
McCleary said today that he did not
care to make any statement about
Frank Eddy's editorial in a recent issue
of the Sank Center Herald on his tariff
position. To have someone outline a
platform for you and one for himself,
and to have them submitted without
debate is so manifestlY absurd that it
is not worth commenting on.'' is the
way McCleary disposed of the question.
McCleary has been devoting most Of
his time during the holiday recess to
the study of tariff questions, with a
view of embodying them in a speech
later in the session, in advocacy Of his
maximum and minimum tariff bill His
researches extend to the earliest tariff
treaties and tariff laws of this and other
countries.
