Disclaiming all knowledge OF Il. Mrs.
James n. Sutton. mother Of Cadet Ro-
land Sutton. who IS now the storm CEN

paused as she said this. as II a host OF
memories had surged across her mind.
u was as II she intmated that one who
had had a son killed through some diff
ference over the code Of lighting men
had little reason to be aroused over so
trivial a matter as hazing.
Didn't Know of HazInE.
I didn't even know anything about IT,"
she continued, until I read It in the
papers My son told me nothing about 1t
in his letters. He preferred to keep It to
himself
There IS nothing for me 20 dc now. I
am glad the investigation Is started. and
hope Il will break up this hazing. I
think my son has acted right from the
first. I know that he will not do anything
which can be regarded as questionable"
The report on hazlng Will probably be
given 20 the officials of the War Depart
ment before the week Is out. Col Hugh
J.. Scott. superintendent Of the West Point
Military Academy, Is now IN Washington
in conference with the military officials.
Col Scott refused TO make any state
mcnt yesterday as to the report. nor
would he say whether any Of the cadets
Involved would be suspended or expelled
He has more than 800 pages OF testimony
10 examine. as there were I3J witnesses
called. According 10 one report. five
cadets viii be recommended for dismiss
sal At least four OF these were involved
in the hazing Of Cadet Sutton six weeks
ago.
The board Of investigation has been in
Oa!ly session for more than a month
Under the law the cadets are compelled
20 answer all questions put TO them The
board is composed OF Lieut.. Col Sibley.
Capt oscar J. Charles. seventeenth In
fantry. and Capt NJ h. Smith. Twentieth
Infantry.
Inquiry Rigid.
The seyerest kind Of a inquiry was
necessary before the Sutton hazing was
finally fastened upon the right persons.
It was ascertained that as Cadet Sutton,
fourth class man. was walking past he
was attacked by number OF third class
men in white sheets. Sutton succeeded
In capturing two Of his assailants. Then
the third class men used tent poles and
struck Sutton with such force that he
was seriously injured. Sutton has been
in the hospital since July 20, excepting
one day.
Abusive" IS the head uhder which the
Sutton hazing comes. The law defines
hazing as anything OF q 'harasslug
tyrannical. abusive, shameful, insulting
or humiliating nature"

CURTIS IS AT HOME.
Has Been Invited to Join President
Taft's Party at Omaha.

Senator Charles Curtis is in the city
today, having just returned from a
speaking tour over the state. He will
leave Tuesday for AxteH to speak at
an old settlers reunion and from ther9
he will go to Eskridge to address a
picnic gathering. 1t is likely that the
senator will be obliged to cancel his
Cherryvale and Dodge City engage
ments for the reason that he will be
compelled to be in Topeka that week
to take dispositions in a government
matter. However if he can arrang4
to postpone the taking of these deposit
tions he will fill the Cherryvale and
Dodge City dates.
Senator Curtis has been invited by
President Taft to join the presidential
party at Omaha next month on the
way west and continue with him at
least as far as Denver and it is likely
that the senator will do so. Later he
will go to St. Louis as the guest Of
the deep waterways association and
make the trip to New Orleans by way
of the Mississippi in company with
President Taft and the congressional
and gubernatorial delegations. How
ever, the two invitations are distinctive
