NO MORE HAZING
To Be Tolerated at the University of
Maine.

OronO, Me-, Aug. 19.-HaZing is to be
abolished, as far as possible, at the
University of Maine. When students
present themselves for registration al,
year each will be presented a card
re aiding as follows. II, the under
signed, thereby agree, so long as | am
d student at the University of Maine,
to take no part in hazing." Should a
student refuse to sign the agreement
he will net be admitted.
In reference TO this matter Pres.
George Emery Fellows says: THE
practice of hazing freshmen in college
has existed to a greater or less extent
fOr centuries. Within the past half
century there has been a great effort
to eradicate from all educational insti-
tutions custom which results in many
instances in series disorder and bad
manners, if not in more serious conSe-
querces.
about 10 or II years ago, in the
University of Maine, occurred several
hazing outrages. Good order was fin
ally restored only by the students sign
ing an agreement that each Signer as
long as he remained connected with
the university would not engage In
haZing. For a period such pledge
was required from each new student.
AS no serious cases of hazing occurred
for several years. the Knowledge of the
difficulties soon passed from memory.
Within four or five years hazing has
again been increasing, and has resulted
recently in several very disorderly oc-
currenceS. No one has ben seriously
injured, but there is great danger if
the practice continues that someone
will be permanently injured or crippled
Many of the best students agree that
the custom is a bad one and should
be discontinued.
THE whole subject has been care
fully considered by the faculty and the
trustees. and it has been decided that
the best interests of the institution de-
mand that hazing must cease Accord
inSly. the trustees have voted that
hereafter no student will be admitted
who will not sign a pledge to abstain
from haZng.'

her reward. But Mary Judd lay back

Barge Shawmut Goes
Down Off Long Island.
Breaks Away from Tug and
Is Soon Lost in The Fog.


Saunderstown, r. l.. Aug. 19.-The
barge Shawmont with crew OF five
men bound from Philadelphia for
Portsmouth, n H., broke away from
the tug Valley Forge off Shinneycook,
l. l.. early Tuesday morning and it is
feared that she went to the bottom
with all hands. Five other barge,
bound for Providence, Boston and
Newburyport. broke away and hoated
HELPLESS for 10 hours before they were
picked up. One man was injured bad
" and was carried ashore for treat
ment on arrival here.
The barges left Philadelphia on Sun
day in tow of the tugs Valley Forg"
and Monocacy. When off Shinneycoois
they ran into the heavy northeast gale
that prevailed along the coast Monday
night and Tuesday. Everything went
well for time until the Sha wmont
the first barge in the tow of the Val
ley Forge. broke loose. At almost the
same instant the tow of the Monocacy
broke away So thick was the weather
that the barges had completely disap-
peared before the tugs could put about:
They cruised for 10 hours before final
ly the Valley Forge picked up the
Moline, Saucon, Wconisco and Mesh
amang Soon after the MOnOca:l
picked up the Obey. There was no
trace of the Shawmont except some
wreckage that was floating around and
the captains finally decided that she
had gone to the bottom. They ac-
cordingly started again and reached
SaunderstOwn early this morning. The
barges were badly battered while
Abram Hassels, a deck hand on the
Saucon. was badly injured and was
taken ashore for treatment
The missing barge was commanded
by Captain Alfred Gould of Cape Cod
The names of the seamen are unknown
