IBy Telegraph to The Tribune


ANNAPOLIS. Oct 10-For the purpose
of investigating an alleged outbreak of
hazing, Captain Bowyer. superintendent
Of the Naval Academy, appointed a
board of investigation to-day, composed
of Commander W. H. G. Billiard, pres1-
dent; Lieutenant Commander c. 3. Nc
Way, and Lieutenant G. W. Steele. Four
first class men are charged with the
offence.
It is stated that the four men under
suspicion were caught in the room Of
one of their number last week with
party of fourth class men, who were
being compelled to compose songs and
sing them at the same time. while others
were forced to write love letters for the
edif1cation of the upper class men.
The alleged hazing took place late
Saturday night. and was discovered by
Lieutenant G. W. Steele the officer of
the discipline department. who was on
duty at the time
1t is understood that two of the mid
shipmen who are under suspicion of
hazing are Lewis ". Comstock, of Ohio,
and Milton H. Anderson, of Washington.
Anderson is pitcher of the baseball nine
and q member OF the football squad
II is stated that the officer entered q
room in which We're a number of first
classmen and fourth classmen. Four
first classmen We're captured and the
rest ran away The under classmen are
understood to have denied that they

The affair has created great deal Of
excitement at the academy, and it is
considered certain that if the midship-
men are found guilty they will be dis
missed from the service.
This case is regarded as particularly
grave in view of the fact that the men
are first classmen. Members of the
highest class are made responsible for
the maintenance of order and discipline
in a degree just below the officers them
selves. Only last week Captain Bowyer

attachment against John q. a. Leish-

" is quashed in the Common Pleas Court

marriage settlement when the Ambas-
sador's daughter became the Countess

The Ambassador filed a petition set
ting forth that he was still resident OF

residence here, and the court held that
a writ OF foreign attachment does not
lie in this state against the defendant,

FRENCH RAILWAY STRIKE
Northern Railway Station Guard
ed-Fears of Spread.

Paris. Oct 10-The long standing IN
easiness and agitation among railroad
employees developed tonight into dec
lara ton to strike on the part of the
men employed on the Northern road.
The decision is result Of the refusal Of
the company to grant the demands of
the men. chief of which is that the mini
mum daily wage should be five francs.
The men have preserved the strictest
secrecy regarding their plans, but it is
understood that the strike was fixed to
begin in Paris at midnight and in the
provinces at S a. m. to- morrow.
Up to a late hour, however, trains left
the Care du Nord as usual The ter
minus was occupied by the military,
municipal guards and the police as soon
as the Prefecture learned the decision
to strike The government was not
taken unawares. and had made prepara-
tons 10 preserve order. Similar pro-
visions have been made in the provinces
and troops are held in readiness 20 guard
the tracks should such a step be neces-
sary.
The trainmen say that they will not be
intimidated by the governments meas
lIres and that they will refuse to obey
orders as reserves. If orders to that effect
are issued. on the ground that they are
Illegal The men hold that the law only
provides for mobilization of railroad men
for the purpose of transporting troops.
IL is reported that the strike is likely
to spread TO the employees Of the state
railroads.
No freight trains left Paris during the
night. and il seems that the whole sys-
TEN will be stopped in the morning. The
railroad officials do not know whether
the trains which left here late tonight
arrived at their destinations as tee-
graphic and telephone communications
are badly interrupted. Whether this is
the work of the strike sympat hfzers is
not known. The tracks have been cut at
St Quentin.
The postoffice has already prepared to
substitute a special automobile service
for mail trains north This will be put
into operation beginning at o'clock in
the morning.
