in a statement issued by Secretary Of
War Garrison Thursday in connection

by superintendent Townsley TO a
number of cadets convicted Of haz-
ing plebes.
I have investigated the recent haz-
ing incident at West Point" said Sec
rotary Garrison. The boys in ques-
ton were each clearly guilty. The
punishment indicted consisted mainly
in depriving the guilty of certain OF
their privileges. Am extremely re-
gretful that these boys should have
written letters TO their parents or
others. The first element Of manli-
ness is 10 take your medicine like a
man. particularly in a case where your
own conduct caused the illness"

corporation Papers

given for representatives Of various
sections of the country contiguous
to these cities to appear before the
committee and present their views.
ut must not be inferred that the
committee has determined upon any
one Of these cities for the location Of
federal reserve banks; they have
been chosen as places for holding
sessions of the committee solely be-
cause Of their accessibility and con-
venience."
The committee will no doubt re-
gard the fixing Of boundaries Of each
reserve district as a matter Of much
more Importance than the designa-
tion Of the reserve cities themselves.
The designation Of the cities will
be a secondary problem, to be solved
after the boundaries have been fixed,
for it will be a comparatively easy
matter to mobilize the resources of
each district at the reserve city, once
territory from which this city can
draw has been determined.
The 10 districts which may be re-
garded as the possible units Of the
new system are: The New England
district. dominated financially by Bos-
ton; the eastern district, dominated
by New York; the southeast district,
including Pittsburg, Philadelphia and
Baltimore, dominated by Washing
tom southern district, dominated by
Atlanta; another southern district
with New Orleans or Houston, 'fex.,
as central point; district dominated
by Chicago; district dominated by
st. Louis; a district dominated by
Denver; a northwestern district, dom
mated by Seattle and Portland, Ore, !;
also western district, ~dominated by
San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The rumber Of applications for in
corporation papers received at the
treasury department was not consid-
erable. This was due to the All
nouncement that applications, in or
der to fulfill the requirements of the
law, must be made in set form pre-,
scribed by the organization commit

have applied up To date is about 500.

Drunken Man Sounded False Alarm.
Calumet, Mich, Dec. 27-Immedi-
ately after being visited at his rooms
at the Scott hotel in Hancock by a
committee of Houghton, Hancock
and Calumet residents, angered bv
statements he is alleged to have
made in regard to the placing of the
blame for the Christmas eve horror,
Charles H. Meyer and an associate,
believed to be another officer of the
federation, fled to Houghton and
boarded a train for Chicago. They
were joined on the train by three
husky big men who seemed to be
guards and who were careful to keep
close tab on the head of the fedora
ton. The riot siren on the plant Of
the Houghton County Electric Light
company in Houghton blew nine long
blasts, the signal that a riot was TAX
Ing place, and great crowd of citi.
Zens of Houghton and Hancock gath
cred about the train as Meyer board
ed it. There were rumors Of serious
riots in other parts of the county, but
these proved untrue.
The departure of Meyer, it is
thought, was advised by his visitors
at the hotel, after he refused to re-
tract the statements refererd to.
Committees composed of ladies OF
the citizens committee visited the
homes of families bereaved by the
disaster in Red Jacket and rendered
aid, but In every case the offer was
rejected. Mrs. Annie Clemence, one
of the militant leaders of the strils-
ers, showed the ladies to the door at
one place. The families of all the
bereaved 55 families were visited by
agents of the federation of miners
and told not to accept aid from the
citizens committee. The bereaved
and needy were told that the fedora.
ton would care for them.
In several instances the survivors,
in refusing aid, said they wanted to
take aid because they needed it so
badly, but wre afraid to do so. The
citizens committee has authorized
every merchant to fill orders for
clothing and other necessities.
Detectives are conducting an In
vestigation into the cause of the dis.
aster which may lead to arrests at
any moment. Prosecutor Lucas has,
with the assistance of detectives, run
down and secured affldavits from a
large number Of people who were
within the hall at the time of the
disaster, and who make statements
that show conclusively that the cry
of fire was given in the hall prob.
ably by a drunken man.
