BOARD OF INVESTIGATION.
Appointed At Naval Academy Despite
Official Denial OF Hazing. :

After an official denial of the pres
ence of any hazing among the mid
Shipmen had been issued yesterday
from the office Of Superintendent
John IL. Gibbons this morning comes
announcement of the appointment

partment of discipline at the Acad-
-emy while making his regular rounds
of inspecting the rooms of the mid
shipmen, found plebes standing at
attention before FIRST classmen i'm
two Of the rooms occupied by upper
cassmen. For a member Of one class
TO be caught in the room Of an upper
classmsn is a violation OF the rules Of
the Academy.
While the statement is made that
the inspecting officer saw nothing TO
indicate any haZing further than the
fact that The fourth classmcn were an
parently standing at attention be
fore the upper clsssmeu. rather than
as mark Of respect TO the officer as
he entered, a rigid investigation will
be made. For this purpose a board
of inquiry of which Lieut., Commander
c. B. McVay, senior assistant TO the
commandant Of midshipmen, is head.
is now in session at the Academy.
The discovery Of brutal hazing and

COMMANDER GEORGE W. LOGAN, U. S. N
THE NEW C0MMANDANT.
Commander George w. Logan u. S. N.
A Man OF Marked Ability.

On August IL last, during the sum-
mer cruise of the midshipmen, Com
mander George w. Logan, u. S. N,
was assigned to duty at the Naval
Academy as commandant of midship-
men.
The new commandant, therefore. as
sumed The actual duties of his office
week ago upon the official opening
of the Naval Academy for the new
academic year. Comm ander Logan
was born in Cincinnati, October 30.
1868, and is therefore, forty-three
years old. He was appointed mid
shipman in 1883 and was graduated
from the Naval Academy in June,
1887.
On July /, 1889, the then Passed
Midshipman Logan was promoted to
Ensign, and to Lieutenant on March
3, 1889; to Lieutenant Commander
May 6, 1904, and to Commander July
/, 1909. Commander Logan was at
one time on duty in the photographic
Office, Washington. He is a man Of
marked force of character, a splen-
did executive officer and disciplinar-
ian, and none could be better fitted
for the duties of Commandant Of
midshipmen than Commander Logan.
Commander Logan is modest and
retiring, and is loathe to talk of
himself, when asked about his SER
vice in the Navy, and his official du-
ties in other details. He is a man
with keen sense of honor, and a
high standard of right and Justice.
He is sure to give the midshipmen the
square deal" but he will require of
them strict obedience to regulations
at all times.
Too much cannot be said in commen-
dation of the Commandant by all
who have served under him. and as
an officer he is highly thought of
throughout the service.

SOCIAL CODE"
Now At Naval Academy-FOurth Class
men Kept Out OF Annapolis To
Wean Them From Undesirable
Friends" I

The social code" fostered for years
by many officers of the navy and their
families has been Instituted among
the midshipmen.
Hereafter the midshipmen of the
lowest, or fourth class, will not be
allowed in the city of Annapolis
more than eight times a year. Even
then they will have to furnish proofs
to the Academy officials that they
will spend their time with their rel
atives.
The idea is to break up any bour-
geois acquaintances the Midshipmen
may have in civil life and as one of
the officers high in authority stated
today TO make gentlemen of the
future officers. In the future the
highest classes of midshipmen who
have been made gentlemen" will
know who the women are that theft
mates escort to the social functions
at the Academy.
The recent Beers case and several
recent navy scandals in cities where
there are navy yards have been among
the causes of the establishment of
the social code"
1t was asked at the office of the Su-
perintendent last evening whether it
was so that he intended establishing
a strict social code Information was
gathered that it was not to be called
by that specific nane. 1t was said
that the purpose of the new order
affecting midshipmen of the lowest
class was to keep them out of trouble
to make them forget undesirable
friends and to thereby raise the social
standing of the navy"
Heretofore the midshipmen have
been allowed to visit Annapolis once
a week. New York World.

Strineins Gold Beads.

I'VE used 10 string gold beads on n
slender gold chain said the jeweler.
but now we don't unless ordered. The
gold used In the chain Is harder than
that OF which the beads are made. and
SO the chain wears the beads in their
perforations and channels out little
worn places at the ends Of the perfora-
lions in the circumference Of the beads
aud so makes them less perfect. And,
however slender the chain may be,
beads strung on q chain do not fall
and lie In curves always smooth and
graceful SO now usually we string
gold beads on silk cord, material Of
perfect smoothness. fexibility and
adaptability; on silk cord the string
Of beads falls gracefully. To be sure,
the silk wrilr7, out sooner than gold
chain would do, and if strung on silk
the beads should be restrung once or
twice year, according to how much
they are worn, but for stringing gold
beads a silk cord seems to answer the

in fact t was about the iiveliest time
they have had this season with any
club. The features Of the game was
the three base hits by Stsarns, the run
ming foul fly catch by Hicks and the
numerous fancy running catches by
Murphy, Williams and Dudley. The
accurate throwing by Williams kept
the Petworth's on the bases several
times uurluS Tue Shiioi ao', "

CLAYTON made a star catch OF most
difficult fly, for which he received a
mighty cheer from the crowd. The
suggers on the team are a dangerous
bunch, and when they get on the bases
the opposing team has to be alert at all
times to keep them from flying from
base to base. The squeeze play
pulled off by the men on hrst and
