& At WEST POINT
Batch of Students Sent Home
to Await Action of War
Department.
NOTHING ROUGH WAS DONE
VICTIMS WERE REQUIRED TO
CAPTURE FIFTY ANTS.

West Point, y. Y, July 23.-Eight
cadets in the United States military
academy here were today sent TO Their
homes as a result of haZing members OF
the fourth class. They were William T.

The cadets who have been placed I'M

regarded In official eyes as me ma or Of

cases passed upon by the secretary of
war and have been ordered to await the
secretary's action at their homes. Prece-
dent In such cases sets The penalty as

proof OF the haZing charge
just what the incident was which
caused the suspensions cannot be learned
here. The academy authorities decline to
talk upon the matter and refuse TO give
out any information regarding 1t. The
incident was given publicity by one of
the accused cadets after leaving West
Point.

carefully and so skifully concealed. Even
the cadet officers were kept out of the
secret. while as for the plebes as the
fourth classmen are called, they all took
their haZing uncomplainingly.
The form which the haZing took con-
sisted of a requirement that the plebes

come back. count them. and if any are
absent. report accordingly. If all are
present or accounted for. put them In
your locker until further orders"
The poor plebe thereupon repaired TO
the company street. and for the next
half hour or so was the busiest man In
this section of the camp. When he had
finally cOrralled the necessary number of
ants he went back and reported. Then
the plebe counted them, and if all the
ants were present or accounted for
he was told To place them in his locker
for safekeeping. on the other hand, IL
an ant was absent he would probably be
ordered out to capture another fifty as
an additional punishment.
