NEW CASES OF HAzING
At NAVAL ACADEMY
Formal Inquiry Started and
Upper Class Men May Be
Dismissed.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, October IA hazing
investigation that may have a far-reach-
ing and disastrous effect upon number
of midshipmen is now under way at the
Naval Academy.
A board Of investigation was detailed by
Capt John H. Gibbons, superintendent OF
the academy, and began its sittings yes
terday. The authorities admitted that
two cases Of molesting "plebes" had been
brought to their attention, and, as the in
vestigating board is empowered to probe
the subject thoroughly, ii Is likely that
several other incidents will be disclosed.
The cases under present inquiry were
reported to the administration authorities
by one of the officers of the department
of discipline, and it is stated that thus
far there is nothing to indicate any brutal
treatment Of fourth classmen.
Discovered by Chance.
1t was by chance that the officer dis
covered the alleged hazing. He was con-
Quoting an inspection Of quarters few
days ago, and, upon visiting two rooms
occupied by upper class men. found
''plebes'' standing at attention before the
older men. Just what transpired before
the officer happened upon the scene will
probably be developed by the board of
investigation.
Hazing in any form is punishable by
dismissal from the service under an act
of Congress passed In 1906, following the
congressional investigation and subse-
quent court-martial that resulted in the
dismissal Of q score or more of the stu
dents who were judged guilty OF the Of
Tense. In that act hazing Is defined as
an unwarranted authority assumed by
al hn
the new class. so that there need be no
element Of brutality in connection with
an offense to bring about the dismissal
Of the offender. The act also vests au-
thority in the superintendent OF the
academy to handle hazing cases. and in
view of the fact that Capt. Gibbons is a
stanch disciplinarian 1t Is unlikely that
he will exercise any lenYency toward any
midshipman who may be found guilty OF
the offense.
Three Intoxication Cases.
The presiding officer Of the board Of in
vestigation is Commander Charles B. Nc
Way, senior assistant in the department
of discipline. Commander Mcvay was
also president of the board that investi.
gated the cases against three midship-
men charged with intoxication. They
were caught red-handed about ten days
ago while entering Bancroft Hall. This
investigation was completed yesterday,
and the record of the cases is now be-
fore the superintendent. He will forward
his recommendations to the Navy De-
partment.
The academy authorities are determined
to raise the standard Of discipline as
high as possible. In line with this Capt.
Gibbons took the view that sufficient Of
ficerS were not assigned to the depart
ment of discipline, and in consequence
the staff was augmented by the addition
Of three or four at the recent reopening
of the academy.

painfully burned, but were released from

time to escape fatal injuries.

Shipka, who lived on Ferris avenue.
was caught in the heavy shower about z
o'clock while on his way home, and
stepped in the Klinger establishment TO

Slovecek. who was something of an cleo

to be in the place. Hearing the commo-

the three men huddled against the wall.
Grasping a broom, he struck the tele-

and freeing the three helpless men. Ship

Soon after he had completed this pre-
caution something distracted his atten-
ton and the broom slipped slightly With
iightning speed. and before he could save
himself, the tangled wires and wrecked
