NAVY INCREASE TO Be
DECIDED ON MONDAY
Wilson Will Then Confer With
Secretary Daniels and
Chairman Padgctt.

WASHINGTON. oct. 1.-The Adminis-
tration's programme for new construc-
ton IN the navy will probably receive
definite shape at a conference to be held
next Monday between President Wilson
and Secretary Daniels and Representa-
tive Padgett. chairman OF the House
Committee on Naval Affairs.
Though the estimates of the Navy De-
partment must. by law. be In the hands
October Il 1t may he positively stated
that the question Of the naval building
programme II entirely In the air.
The reaso for this is the fact that
President Wilson has not yet commune
Gated to Secretary Daniels his final de-
Cision In regard to the extent Of the
building programme which he desires
recommended TO Congress. The Navy
Department has been unable. conse-
quently. to put Its recommendations as
! to new construction In definite shape. as
1t was indicated at an early date that
the President himself would this year
fix the building programme.
1t Is stated that the president has not
even discussed the naval programme
with Secretary Daniels. except In a gen.
eral way. He has been furnished by
Mr.. Daniels with data. including a
memorandum drafted by the General
Board.
1t Is not known whether two. -four or
six battleships will be recommended. OF
whether only one will be asked for
Neither IL it known at the Navy Depart.
mcnt whether any new types OF vessels
such as battle cruisers or large, heavily
armed scout cruisers will be recon
mended.
There Is a fear among naval officers
that the popularity Of the submarine
will result in appropriations by Con
gress for a number OF submarines dis
proportionately large in relation to the
number OF vessels OF other types needed
The question of revenue Is of course
the main consideration In connection with
the determination Of the building pro
gramme.

rs MIDDIES PUNISHED
FOR ANNAPOLIS HAZING
Six Are Dismissed, Four Are Suspended a Year Without
Pay and Fifteen More Are Dropped a Class
-Benson's Son Involved.

WAsHiNGToN. Oct. 1.-As Q result Of
the recent investigation Of hazing at
the United States Naval Academy, Sec
rotary Daniels announced to-day that
six m%idshipmen have been dismissed
from the institution. four others have
been suspended for one year without
pay and fifteen more have been turned
back into the next lower class.
The fifteen who were punished by
being dropped back a class were found
guilty Of only single acts Of haxing, and
1t was recommended by the board which
conducted the investigation that they
be punished by disciplinary action short
Of dismissal.
The six who we're dismissed and the
four who were suspended for one year
without pay were all found guilty either
OF more thar ane act Of hazing or Of
falsehood. n In some cases both, and
all were recommended for dismissal.
Secretary Daniels decided. however.
That four of the ten had APPARENTLY been
less guilty than the six others and con-
seQuently fixed their punishment at sus-
pension.
Condition. Of Suspension.
Those suspended for a year will leave
the academy at once and will be re-
Quired to remain within their home
states for "a year except as given per-
mission by the Navy Department to 70
elsewhere. At the end Of the year they
may return TO the academy.
Included in the fifteen dropped back
a class were the son Of Rear Admiral
Benson. chief OF the bureau OF opera
lions. and the son OF Gov. Craig Of North
Carolina. who is a resident of Mr.. Dan
iels's home city. Raleigh.
In commenting on the decision in the
hazcrs' case Mr.. Daniels said:
This action is taken with the deter
mination that hazing OF all kinds 10 TO
be ended at the Naval Academy. There
Ii no room at the academy for any man
who canno obey the law Of the United
States Congress.
ut has been estimated that II costs
$4,000 to educate a man for the navy.
In the navy the first duty is to obey
orders. II at the academy a man can
not obey the orders OF the Superintend-
ent and an act OF Congress he demon
stratcs that he lacks the first essential
required OF a naval officer.
These midshipmen are not punished
as a deterrent TO others. but for their
own sins. hut all others at the academy
will take notice that hazing has ended.
IL there is any mldshipman at the acad-
envy who Is resolved to violate the law
against hazing. he should separate HIM
self from the service. II any suppose
that violation of the Jaw will be con-
doned, he will find that dismissal is
sure to follow"
