THE AUTHOR OF LADY FREDER-

edy in three acts. in which Charles Froh-
man will present Miss Ethel Barrymore
at the National Theater Monday, was
written by W. Somerset Vaughan a
young Englishman. Mr.. Vaughan was
born in 1874 In Paris. where his father.
the late u. o. Vaughan. a distinguished
lawyer, acted for many years as solicitor
To- the British embassy. He received his
carly education In Paris. and later was
sent TO school at Canterbury. after
which he became a student in Heidelberg
lie spent several years in the picturesque
old German city. and then returned to
England, where he studied medicine at
ST. Thomas Hospital During his resi-
dence In France and Germany. Mr.
guages of those two countries. AS an
instance of his linguistic abilities it is
recalled that he wrote in German a play
let which was produced In Berlin some
six or seven years ago under the title
OF .Schiffbruchig'' tShipwrecked). A
friend describes Mr.. Vaughan as a man
of medium height. with dark hair and
eyes. of spare build and affable manners.
He wrote Liza OF Lambeth when a
medical student. For about six or seven
years Mr.. Vaughan wrote novels only.
and then. in 1903, came his first play.
"A Man of Honor" which was successful
and marked him out as a playwright with
q promising future. At the present mo-
ment. that is, within five years OF the
production of his play, Mr., Vaughan is

SEVEN CADETS Are
FIRED FOR HAzING
RoLANoo SUTTON WAS the VIC.
TIM IN THIS CASE.
Appeals Were Made for lsnieney, But
the President insisted on
Their Expulsion.

WEST POINT, ~. u, Aug. 2O.-For
being involved In the hazing of Ro-
lando Sutton. Jr.. a brother of Lieut..
James n. Sutton. Jr.. United States
marine corps. whose death at Anna
polls two years ago has just been in
vestigated, seven West Point cadets
were dismissed from the United States
Military Academy vest, rGsy by Girec
ton Of President Taft.
The cadets ordered 20 be dismissed
are John II. Booker. Jr.. Of West
Point. Ca. first class; Richard W..
Hooker, Kansas City. Mo-, third
class; Earle w. Dunmore. Utica. n.
Y, third class; Chauncey C.. Deyore.
Wheeling. w. Va. third class: Cor.
don Lefebvere. Richmond. Va. third
class: Albert E. Crane. Hawarden. Ia.
third class; Jacob 8. Former. DOthan.
Ala. third class.
The action OF President Taft and
Secretary Dickinson In directing the
dismissal OF the cadets Is accepted by
the officers of the army and the civil
officials OF that department as n clear
indication Of the purpose OF the adj.
ministratiOn 20 fully support Col.
Scott. the superintendent of the Uni.
ted States Military Academy. in his
effort to eradicate the practice Of haz.
ing In all It's phases from student life
at the academy.
When IL first became known that
evidence OF hazing had been found In
the investigation Of the Sutton case
and that seven cadets had been con
victed OF that Offense by an army
board. pressure was brought TO bear
on the President and the Secretary OF
War for .eniency. While IL was ad
mitted by the friends OF the accused
that they should be punished. II was
argued that their offense was but a
boyish prank and not sufficiently
serious to subject them to the Odium
Of dismissal from the service IT the
very outset OF their career. Tha;
these appeals were insufficient Is &C.
cepted as a demonstration that the
President means TO follow the letter
OF the law bearing on such cases by
imposing penalty OF dismissal.
The text OF the order OF dismissal
has not yet been made public. but
