William NJ Holmes OF g Gold street.

would arrive I'm Washington about 4
O'Clock this afternoon. and take charge
OF his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth NJ. Holmes
who was arrested at "a 5 street north
west by Detectives Peck, Warren
O'Brien and Parham, because it was
suspected that she intended visiting the
White Hour . and creating a scene.
The wom N was sent 20 the House Of

Holmes had been 10 the Capitol during
the day, where she sent her card to two
congressman. asking them to call on
her IN reference TO the case of Mrs

thought the detectives were Congress
men when they called, but was soon in
formed that she would have TO accom-
pany them TO Police HEADQUARTERS The
woman became indignant at first, but
was persuaded TO go with the Officers
ana everything would turn out all right
Mrs. Holmes seems TO have thought
too much about Mrs. Morris case. be-
cause she talked of nothing else during
the night. She informed the detectives
that she had written to Dr. Morris and
expressed her views to him. Mrs Holmes

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. IS-The hazing
situation at Annapolis is not clearing.
but on the contrary every trial. instead
OF bringing the termination of the agi-
tatiOn closer, has the effect of maxim g
the end apparently stiH farther off
During the trial Of each case other
midshipmen are nearly always implI-
Gated in such way that II would be
impossible for the authorities 10 fan
to lodge charges against them unless
they We're partial in the matter.
For example, during the trial Of
Midsh;pman john p. Miller five others
We're shown TO be equally guilty as he
was. IL was shown that four upper
class men formed four Of the plebes into
an automobile and steered il into Mill
eI's room. Miller hazed them and or
dered them 10 report to another midship-
mans room, where they got some more
of 1t. Thus five midshipmen were as
guilty as Miller.
Inquiry Court at Work.
Then the court of inquiry is stil at
work and evidently IL must find plenty
TO do, for there is no idea here when
the work viii be completed In fact
there are persistent rumOrs that infor-
nation concerning midshipman after
midshipman is being supplied by it TO
Superintendent Sands.
AS far as the Naval Academy is con-
cerned, there is no power that can call
a halt on the work OF dismissing mid
shipmen for hazing. The acts OF 1874
and 1903 give the superintendent no
discretion as TO whether OF not he shall
file charges in certain cases. BY their
terms lie must file charges against any
midshipman thought TO be implicated
IN hazing. Neither has the court-mar-
tial any authority TO impose a penalty
less than dismissal. In other words.
the crusade against hazing has been
set in operation and there is no au-
thority here TO stop il until its work is
done. if every midshipman at the Acad-
envy is dismissed.
The court of inquiry must sift the
cases brought before it and report such
facts as develop 10 Admiral Sands. The
superintendent must file charges, and
the Court-maTtial must dismiss, If they
find the accused guilty. There is no
in any part of the system
Only Congress or the President can call
z halt

the fact that he thought the hazing
