det Book all his life and he may not
be able to stand it and will consequent
~ have to leave the academy.
Book was not a voluntary tale bear
er. The circumstances were these: He
was reported for not going through
his exercises to the satisfaction of his
drillmaster, and when I asked him why
ne did not do as instructed he said that
he could not because he was nervous
Then asked him point blank what had
made him nervous and he was compelled
TO tell of the hazing given him by Sher-
man.
Says Cadet Did Not "SqueaI"
If the young man had lied TO protect
Sherman he would not have been toler-
ated in the academy. On the other
hand. he offended by putting himself in
position where the hazing came out.
He could not have acted otherwise than
he did. AS far as have been able TO
judge in this short time Book seems TO
have the right sort of matter in him.
He looks like a capable, clean young
man"
Cadet Book has had two weeks of the
silent treatment. Not word is spoken
to him save in orders that are required
by the regulations He might as well
be in solitary confinement The young
mans father is a wealthy physician in
Missouri and the boy is said to come of
fine stock.

AGAIN AT STAN OAR D
Oil Company and Two Rail
roads Indicted for Rebat-
ing-Severe Penalty.

Jamestown, n. Y. Sept. CAS- a re-
suit of the federal investigation in
this city of alleged concessions granted
to the Standard Oil company by the
New York Central and the PennsyI-
vania railroad, the grand jury this af-
ternoon returned four additional in
dictments.. The indictments will add
materially to the troubles of the cor
poratious under fire. In each indlct-
ment there are fifty eight counts, which
means that ffty-eight cars were
shipped under the alleged Illegal rates
from Olean to points in Vermont.
The corporation named in these in
dictments are the Standard company of
New York, the Vacuum Oil company
of Rochester, the New York Central
and the Pennsylvania railroads.
The offense charged is the same as
in the batch of indictments returned
some time ago-viz.: that a subs tan
tial concession was allowed the oil
shipments of these companies between
clean and Norwood, the route being
over the Pennsylvania from clean tc
Rochester, and over the lines of the
New Yorw Central from Rochester tC
Norwood. The published rate between
these points was 2615 cents. The rate
to the Standard was II $40 cents.
AS the law provides a penalty O
$4,000 for each offense and as fifty
eight separate and distinct offense
were charged, the court, If the corpora
lions are convicted, could impose a fin
| of s1,0o0,000 on each corporation.

Refuses to Pay for Messages Until

Rumors that n settlement OF the

were persistent yesterday among the
striking operators. Word was receiv
ed In Chicago from ". W. Beattie. in
ternational vice president Of the Com
mercial Telegraphers' union in New
York. that there is every reason TO
hope" for an early ending of the strug
gle.
The rumors of an early settlement
also were based on the fact that Labor
Commissioner Neill was in New York
in conference with President Small of
the Commercial Photographers and
President II. 3. Perham of the Order
of Railroad Telegraphers with view
to bringing about a settlement of the
troubles between the companies and
the key men.
During the conference Commissioner
Neill and President Small had com
munication over the long distance tele-
phone with President Samuel Comp
ers of the American Federation of
Labor at Washington. The strikers de-
clared that if peace comes it Will be
on terms honorable to the key men.
Important developments in the strike
may be expected to result next Tues
day, when the board of directors of the
Western Union Telegraph company
meets to hold its regular quarterly
meeting in New York. Many of the
strikers profess to believe that COM
plete termination of the strike may fol-

The Postal Telegraph company filed
suit in the municipal court during the

According to the bill, 105 messages
were handled by the Postal Telegraph
company for the union and they ranged
in price from so cents to $3.50 each.
An account always has been kept by

Diet Book, accused by his classmates
with having reported Cadet Corporal
Sherman for hazing him, has become
serious. Col. r. l. Howe, the command
ant, today denied that he would rec
ommend the dismissal Of the whole
plebe class which is giving the silent
treatment" to Cadet Book.
Col. Howe said that this would be
impossible. for the punishment of Book
is being done in way that leaves no
room for complaint under the regula-
lions.
The commandant admitted that he
had appealed to seniors and cadet cap
tains to assist him in averting the utter
ruin of Cadet Books career.
Cruelty of "SiIent Treatment"

cadets in the other classes follow their

1t is the punishment melted out by the

'squealing," and it is calculated to drive

Both Cadet Book and Cadet Sherman
are ''yearlings." The trouble started
some time ago when Sherman treated
Block to a mild form of hazing. The
hazing came to the notice of the com
handing officer and sherman was SEN

listing the aid of cadet captains and

POWERS TO ALLOW
ARMED OCCUPATION
Consent to Plan Of France
and Spain Regarding
Coast Towns.
MOORS STILL FIGHT HARD
Troops To Be Put Into Cities at
Once, Which May Mean
for Good.

Paris, Sept. 6.-France and Spain
have agreed to occupy all the Moroccan
seaports with an armed force.
Germany, Great Britain, the United
States. Italy and Austria, it is under
stood, have given their assent to the
proposal No international complica-
lions, therefore. are expected.
French troops will occupy Mazagan,
Mogador, SAT- and Pabat Spanish
troops will hold EI Araigl and Tetuan
A force of both French and Spanish
troops will occupy Tangier and Casa
blanca
In order to occupy these ports France
and Spain will have TO go beyond the
terms of the Algeciras treatry. That
convention provided for a police force
composed of Moors under Swiss in
structors.
All the Powers Consent.
The Moroccan government announced
officially through its war minister, Ell
Gabbas. that it is unable to guarantee
the safety of the European instructors
of the international police force.
In this emergency France and Spain
placed their dilemma before the powers
signatory to the Algeciras convention,
Including the United States, and they
all agreed that the situation demanded
that France and Spain police Morocco
themselves.
Although it is distinctly stipulated
that such occupation is merely pro-
Tisional, or until it is safe to recruit
the police from among the Moors, there
is strong feeling that the absolute
anarchy reigning in Morocco means
that the occupation of the ports may
be long drawn out, perhaps lasting in
definitely.
Moreover, the occupation of the ports
may cause serious complications, re-
sulting from the continued hostility OF
the fanatical Moors-a hostility which
may compel an enlargement of the po
lice action and eliminate in a virtua
military control of the whole Moroc
can empire. This, however, will de
pend on the attitude of the Moors.
| Both France and Spain are now max
ing arrangements to land troops a

the enterprise be carried out, we
shall soon have much light thrown
on the manner of life of the Romans
of the first century. Herculaneum,
far more than Pompeii, was the resi-
dence of wealthy and cultivated citi-
zens. Their houses were filled with
artistic objects and their libraries
contained the best literature of the
period. In partial excavation nearly
1000 manuscript rolls We're found in
one house. Pompeii was covered with
small stones and soft ashes from the
volcano Herculaneum was buried
beneath torrent of mud to the depth
of from so to 120 feet On top of it
two large modern villages have been
built. General excavation has not
been undertaken, lest the stability of
the villages should be threatened
Plans now making provide for tearing
down these villages, so far as neecs

the comparatively near future, says
Youths Companion, we may expect
to hear reports of the uncovering of
fine bronze and marble statuary, of
beautiful mansions, of libraries filled
with ancient books. some of them for
centuries known by tradition only
In short it will be as if we were
