PRESIDENT 0. KS
HAzERS' PENALTY,
WRIGHT STATES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Announce-
ment was made today by Secretary of
War Wright that his recommendation
for the punishment of the eight West
Point cadets suspended from the mill
tary academy for hazing had been ap-
proved by President Roosevelt. The
order to be issued by Secretary Wright,
based upon the Presidents approval,
Nill dismiss from the academy the two
first classmen under suspension, Will
lam T. Rossell, jr., son of Colonel
William r. Rossell, of the engineer
corps of the army, and Harry G.
Weaver, of Illinois, and the suspen-
sion without pay and allowances for
one year of the six members of the
third class. George Washington Chase,
OF New York; James A. Gillespie, of
Pennsylvania; Byron Quimby Jones, of
New York; William Nalle, of Virginia;
William Wellington Prude, of Alabama,
and Isaac Spalding, of Oklahoma.
After Secretary Wright had had
long conference with Colonel Scott, SUI
perintendent of the Military Academy,
the secretary sent to President Roose-
velt his recommendation for the dis
position of the West Point cadet cases.
The Presidents approval of the recon-
mendation was received by Secretary
Wright today
In the conference held at Sycamore

Secretary Wright and Colonel Scott, 1t
was suggested that all of the eight
cadets be suspended from the academy
for one year without pay or allowances
This was regarded as adequate pun
ishment for the offenses against the
law and regulations committed by the
cadets. Superintendent Scott, however,
insisted that tho maintenance of dis
cipline at the academy required even
more drastic punishment.
