PARK BOARD
PLAN FALLS THRU
: BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The retirement
of Representative Stevens from the
committee on military affairs probably
means that legislation for consolidating
the boards controlling national mill
tary parks will not be pushed so vigor-
ously, and that the law will not be en-
acted for several years. Mr.. Stevens
idea was to have one board, composed
of five members, placed in charge of all
the military parks. The plan, would be
and would be in the direction Of good
administration.

Torrance Of Minneapolis, former com
mander-in-chief of the G. a. R., to a
place on the board must of necessity be
dropped. 1t is highly probable that he
would have been appointed, had the

man Trenmor Coffin s trial. The court
then took up the case of Midshipman
Worth w. Foster of New Albany, Ind,
who is charged with hazing Midship-,l
man Chester S. Roberts. It is alleged
that between the middle of October and
December, Foster hazed Roberts by
compelling him to stand on his head,
to hang from the clothes locker, and
eat under the table. . +"
The court held that the specifications
were technically correct. Foster pleaded
not guilty to the charge and all the
specifications. " y
Hazed MILDLY on Stand.
Midshipman Chester S. Roberts was
the first witness. He identified the
accused by, name. He appeared most
cused. He said that about two weeks
after the school had opened Foster
had ordered him to report to Foster 8
room and he had done so. Foster had
ordered him to go to the small room
and that someone had then. held his
thumb in four positions, these indi-
eating he said that he was in success
sion to tell his name, where he was
from, who he succeeded in the academy
land to get on his head. He was then
compelled to do emo. 1872 and then to
hang on the locker, both Of which he
did. He then was asked if he could
hear any better, at the, table; The
his best before and was then ordered
to hang on the locker again. Do,
Roberts said that Foster then sent
him for Midshipman Clevenger. Foster
and Decatur were in the room, he said,
and he believed that Foster had made
fthe motions with his thumb. -
Only First Glass Men.
Midshipman G.: R. Hyatt, of the sec
ond class, said that he knew both Fos-
ter and Roberts. He had seen Roberts
go under the table, he said, almost two
months ago. He understood it to be d
/, first class rate to order a fourth
that only first classman could order
1t to be done.
Second classman William L. Beck
said that he had seen Roberts ordered
under the table. He did not know
when it was, but the dessert that day
ordered Roberts under but that it was
"a ''first class rate' to do such thing.
In answer to a question by member
of the court, witness said that to the
best of his knowledge and belief Foster
had sent Roberts under the table.
Midshipman Paul H. Rice, fourth
classman, said that he had passed dates

had told Roberts to get under or who
had told him to pass the desserts.
Rice was very reluctant witness.
