CANNOT MAKE CADETS TALK.
West Point COmmandant Faces n
Problem I'm Discipline.

West Point, n. Y, Sept Com
mandant Howe is still at his wits end
how to compel the West Point classes
TO cease giving Cadet Book, of Chicago,
the silent treatment" without sus-
pending the class or recommending its
dismissal from the Academy.
You all know that I am against haz-
ing" said Col Howe to-day, "and by
virtue of my position, I can call an in
vestigation at any time, whether there
seems to be any direct evidence or not.
A hagrant case of hazing would. of
course, mean instant dismissal, and as
evidence that l mean to make the pun
ishment for any form severe rather
than lax, you have the case of Cadet
sherman"
This cadet has extra hours of duty and
is limited within the reservation until
next March. As may be imagined, this
punishment is really a very harsh one.
Col Howe IS confident that when the
matter is understood better by the cadets.
Book viii not be troubled any longer. As
a matter Of fact, it is worthy of note that
Books roOmmates, who are returned
''plebes" of last term, still entertain only
friendly feelings toward him, and did not
join in the cutting"

The contest OF the degree teams to-
night. with entries from Kansas City
Pawtucket. and New Haven. resulted in
an easy victory for the Western city, it is
unofficially reported.
Other business Of the convention to-day
consisted mainly in the hearing of re-
ports from various committees.
A matter which occupied much time and
caused much discussion was the question
of uniforms. At present each aerie has a
uniform OF its own designing, and when
they intermingle with one another, as
they did yesterday after the big parade,
they present an appearance in costumes
similar 20 that IN a grand finale of an up
to-date musical comedy.
Il Is the prevailing opinion that a
standard uniform. such as is used by
other fraternal orders, would be much
better. Nothing definite has been decided
relative to the uniforms, and should the
subject be brought up tomorrow, the last
day Of the convention. there will un-
doubtedly be some interesting debates on
the subject.
