POPE APPROVES
VICTORY PRAYER
Appeal to Heaven for Success of
Italian Arms Recited Before
Cardinals in Rome.
lBy cable 10 The Tribune ]

Turin, June % via Paris. Pope
Benedict. through the Master of the
Sacred Palace Of the Vatican, has just
formally approved for both private and
public use a remarkable prayer, implor-
ing victory for the Italian arms. Fol-
lowing is the translation:
go Jesus Christ, our Lord. Who didst
so love Thy native land as TO weep for
it in sorrow, look pitifully on our
beloved Italy She, Thou seest, is
fighting TO make safe our natural boun-
daries and TO stretch forth her hand
TO her own unredeemed brethren. Not
lust of usurpation, therefore, nor
hatred move her, but justice and love.
Bless, o Jesus, our arms on land
and sea. Render them gloriously vic
torious. Bless our soldiers. Sustain
even TO the end their proverbial cour-
age; free from sin those brave sons of
ours for whom Thou hast shed Thy
precious blood, so that as many of them
as fall victims to their sacred duty may
be safe with Thee in Paradise. Give, o
Jesus, to the King, his generals and
statesmen those lights and those graccs
they need in this decisive hour for our
Italy. Surround with special comfort,
we beseech Thee. families who have
dear ones in our army and in our navy.
Grant us TO be worthy instruments
Of religious and civil charity in this
our grievous national crisis, and en-
able Italy, issuing stronger and greater
in victory, to hail speedily the desired
day of peace"
This prayer was recited publicly for
the first time yesterday at a solemn
national service at Gesu Church, in
Rome, the headquarters of the Jesuits,
in the presence Of several Cardinals,
among whom was Cardinal Vicar Pom
pill, who rules over the Papal diocese
Of Rome.
Signor Salsndra, the Premier, has
sent a special telegram Of congratu-
lation to the Archbishop of Ancon, who
lately published glowing pastoral let
ter in defence Of the Italian cause.

Smith and Margaret Lofty engaged
rooms from Miss Batch in the name
of Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd. After descrlb-
ing the preparations made for the fata!
bath for Mrs. Lloyd, Miss Blatch sand
she was in the kitchen, below the bath
room. when she heard some one 60 up,
stairs. A few minutes later she heard
sounds of splashing from the bath
room and a noise as if some one were
moving a body about in the tub. Then
she heard a sigh. This sigh was the
last thing | heard from the oathroom'
Miss Batch said.
The witness told how she heard the

Friction between DR.. Katharine B.

! torted:
"Mr Martin has been trying to stir
up mess at the reformatory ever since

/ fact, there has been only one case of
/ this kind.
Keepers friendly to Moore have in
/ formed Mr.. Martin of every little mis-
hap. / have told him that would dis
charge any nformer who tattled to him
before reporting to me. Mr.. Martin re-
piled that any man so dismissed would
be reinstated by process of law. | an

/ Northampton, and many persons in The
Bronx are opposed 70 this for various
reasons. Mr.. Martin therefore has
ready listeners. If he has said that he
intends to find out what is the trouble
at Harris Island, | say that the only
trouble has been caused by others in
( terfering."
Miss Davis was incensed at what APP
: peared to be a motive behind Mr.. Mar
/ tins meddling, which, she insists, is to
have Major Lawes removed and his
friend Moore reinstated. Although the
District Attorney has jurisdiction in
that section the Commissioner feels
| that he exceeds his powers by seek
ing TO interfere with the discipline OF
| Harris Island, and claims that this
! province is hers alone.
The grand jury that has beer consid-
ering former immortality complaints
on Hart's Island will make present
ment to-day.
Miss Davis explained yesterday that

District Attorney Martin last night
denied he knew Martin J. Moore, the
former overseer, any better than he
knew Major Lawes or Miss Katharine

have Moore reinstated.
! "Outbreaks on Harris Island speak
louder than words" he said. "and from
these the public can see that some

Implicated by Testimony,
They Bring Total to
Twenty-three.
FULLAM ORDERS
HAZING INQUIRY
Will Name Investigation Board
TO-day-Case for De-
fence Begins.
[Ry telegraph 20 The Tribune. J

Annapolis, June 2S.--Seven r,idship-
men were added to-day to the defen-
dants before the Court of Inquiry az
the Naval Academy. bringing the total
to twenty-three. The seven were i'm
plicated by testimony last week. They
are Midshipmen Charles VI. Reagle,
William Ii. Hopkins, jr.. f. II. jones,
Karl Keller. David Click, Horace r.
Whitaker and James f. Wadd'll.
Reagle is the midshipman whose tes-
timcny furnished the sensation of the
inquiry. He admitted that he entered
doors and windows in the different de-
partments regularly, but declared 1t
was to find out marks or get quiet
smoke. After two days Of questioning
he confessed that he had taken matter
which gave information on coming rect
tations and examinations. Moreover,
he gave testimony that hazing was still
in full force a. the academy.
Midshipman Waddell admitted he had
made several visits to department Of
fees. and had once taken unauthorizet
information. According TO Reagle,
Midshipmen Click and Whitaker ac-
companied him on his scouting trips.
Midshipman Hopkins is Reagle's room
mate and. il is said, had aided in solv-
ing the questions Reagle obtained. The
cases against Midshipmen Jones and
Keller rest on the ground on which the
original defendants are held guilty by
the academy authorities: that they
made use of the papers received
through the mail by Midshipman James
+. Moss.
The questions put 70 the nine wit
nesses to-day indicate that the defence
will endeavor to show that there was
nothing about the papers Moss received
which would have made him or any OF
the youths TO whom he showed them
suspicious that they we're actual copies
of the examination to be given them.
Rear Admiral Fullam has ordered
an investigation to determine If the
practice of hazing continues at the
academy. This action is in line with
the policy Of Admiral Fullam and is
not the result of any testimony before
the court of inquiry.
One month after he became super
intendent Rear Admiral Fullam is
sued an order calling attention to the
law on the subject and informing the
midshipmen that any one2 detected
would be recommended for dismissal.
He sent circular to the parents of
each midshipman, urging their cooper
alton.
The investigation began to-day. Sew
eral members of the new fourth class
were summoned before Commander
Chauncey Shackford, senior assistant
to the commandant of midshipmen.
and required to state if they had been
hazed xand all they knew about the
matter.

Conservation of natural resources

from the unthrifty lumberman; much
can be done at the other end Of the

A chemist has found that in Louis

and twigs, 2.25 per cent; limbs under
3 inches 2.54 per cent; cordwood, 6.42
per cent; pulp wood. asa per cent, red

ings, 1872; lightwood, 81; stump, GAS;
lath. 139; shingles, .O6, and lumber
and box Shocks S197 per cent. Or, in
sum, "two-thirds of the tree are at
present wasted either as litter in the
field or as mill waste! And SO thou
sand is a good profit on lumber!
