Annapolis. Aug 2J.-Capt. Charles ].
Badger. Superintendent Of the Naval
Academy who left Annapolis last night
for Rockville to visit relatives, has not
returned to the institution. but before
going yesterday he. with Commandant
of Midshiprnen Benson. made inquiry into
the hazing. or running" conditions
among the midshipmen.
From q number Of second-class men
and some representatives Of the "plebe''
class, members Of which say they have
been hazed. who were summoned be-
fore the authorities. nothing indicating
the presence Of hazing was discovered
The midshipmen who were summoned
denied the presence of the practice. The
authorities however. viii not allow any
recurrence Of the practice TO live long and
the conditions among the midshipmen will
be watched closely.
Members Of the old board Of investiga-
ton, appointed by Admiral Sands. have
been ordered away from the institution.
but the officers Of the department of dis
cipline are still ex-officio members Of such
a board. which viii possibly remain part
Of the disciplinary department for some
time. In this way the haZing develop
ments will be watched closely. The re-
ports of plebes that they had been hazed,
as contained yesterdays dispatches,
were investigated and ii was found that
certainly one Of the alleged new practices.
that Of the pie race, is in vogue a. the
academy. Both the upper class men and
the plebes, however, claim that the races
are merely a form of amusement. which
Is INDUCED in by both classes, and that
plebes are not forced to enter such con-
tests.
Capt. Benson, while expressing the opin-
ion that the second class, as a body was
not participating in hazing. said that It
could not be said positively that no isolat-
ed incident Of the sort had taken place.
While the impression prevails that such
things have again been resorted 10. the
authorities are able to cope with the sit
uation, and no recurrence Of the practice
in the broad and severe form in which
It previously existed is looked for.

tramp ;nder arrest at Greenville. Pa,
charged with attacking Miss Anna White
head. daughter Of Rev. r. B. Whitehead.
is the man who assaulted Nellie OFT, aged
sixteen years, near Ridgeley, several
weeks ago.
The description of the man answers
that Of Miss Otis assailant. and Deputy
Sheriff Welsh. Of Keyser, left this after
non with Miss OFT for Greenville, in the
hope of Identifying him
1t will be remembered that Miss OFT
went 10 Washington shortly after the at
tack upon her to identify a suspect ar
rested in that city, but found that he was
not the man.
Attacks Very similar.
The attack upon Miss OFT was almost
exactly similar to that upon Miss White
head. Both girls were left bound to trees
By the fiend after he had held them pris-
Oner for some time
The penalty for this offense in West
Virginia is death by hanging. In view OF
the fact that the attack upon Miss OFT
antedated the Pennsylvania crime. the
West Virginia authorities have hopes OF
seizing the prisoner. il Miss OFT Identifies
him. especially as the Pennsylvania stat
utes covering the case prescribe only fine
and Imprisonment for the offense.
