Although the development of the
facts that hazing has been in full blast
at the Naval Academy during the past
academic term and the several years
prior thereto has caused an additional
stir in naval circles here, the subject
was entirely passed up by the naval
court of inquiry when it resumed its
Investigations this morning of the
gouging and other Irregularities in the
the late examinations of the midship-
men at the Academy
Midshipman A. r. Boiling. of the
former fourth class. the lad whom
Reagle referred to yesterday as being
in the room OF an upper classman
facing the wall and which later pre-
cipitated the evidence of the exist
ence of hazing, was the first witness
of today, bat no attempt was made,
either on the part of counsel for the
defense, thine court or the Judge Ad-
vocate, to question him as to why he
should have spent whole afternoon
IN the room of Midshipman Nelson.
one of the defendants, when he went
there to receive instruction.
Midshipman Boiling was among the
recipients of information or help on
the modern languages from Nelson.
He said, among other things, that Mel
son after giving him the dope" told
him not to circulate it among the men
of the "savvy" section, but that later
he was accused of having done this,
and was told by Nelson that he was
not telling the truth.
Three instructors in the Department
of Modern Languages, that has been
the storm centre of the matters under
inquiry, were among the other wit
neses heard by the court. They were
p. j. des Garennes, for twenty-one
years an instructor, Paul Voinot, who
has served fourteen years, and r. II.
Bonilla, seven and one-half years, and
all testifying substantially the sameas
to practice among the instructors of
giving legitimate aid to the midship-
men, especially on the point that dur
ing the month preceding an examina-
tion il has always been the custom to
devote the time TO special review work
in helping the midshipmen for the
tests.
Prof. des Garennes gave ii as his
opinion that the late examinations
were easier than formerly, although
Mr.. Bonilla's view was to the contra
airy. the same has been testified TO by
number Of midshipmen witnesses.
Prof Bonilla said that the tests for the
first and second classes were too diff
cult. but not so with the third and
fourth classes. He also added that the
lessons were too long.
Mr.. des Garennes was asked by Mid
shipman Price whether the code of
honor now existing among the student
body is not as high or higher than it
has been in his twenty-one years 'ex-
perience at the Academy.
81 would not like to answer that
question" he replied. there's so much
trouble now"

Sense Of Honor One of characteristics Of American Naval
Officers, it is Stated-Say Public Has Taken Wrong
View of the Situation

The midshipmen as we'll as naval
officers stationed here, feel that there
has been serious misunderstanding
of the standards of honor that exist at
the Naval Academy, and have adress-
ed Superintendent Fullam a communi-
cation in which they state their atti-
tude. 1t follows:
In view of the recent occurrences at
the Naval Academy, we. the regiment
of midshipmen, make this statement
for the information of those whom it
may concern:
This statement is not intended for
use in the defense or prosecution of
any midshipman who is now, or who
in the future may be, a defendant be
fore the court of inquiry now conven-
cd nor is it intended for any other
purpose than an honest and sincere
declaration of the principles of honor
and veracity that have been and are
held by the regiment OF midshipmen
open declarations of patriotism and
honor with the Naval Academy have
always been considered mock heroic
and we have regarded such of our
members as have publicly stated their
love Of country or their personal value
as given to affection. Yet it here be-
comes necessary to make such decla-
ration. now the public seems inclined
to the belief that such principles are
no longer held at the Academy Still
il must be evident that every midship-
man has sworn a solemn oath to up
hold the constitution, TO protect the
honor of the United States against all
enemies. foreign and domestic, that
every one of them has voluntarily as
sumed a position calling for sacrifice
and exposure to the manifold dangers
of naval career; that every one of
them is cognizant of the honorable
traditions of the service of which he
is member, and that, as body, the
midshipmen have striven to maintain
the standards of the school in which
they are grateful students

Are Not Understood.

From the momentthat man en-
ters the Naval Academy his honesty
is unquestioned and his fellows do not
spy upon his actions. Approaching
this, we have tried to maintain the
confidence thus reposed in us.
I'VE feel that the public has not
had sufficient information to under
stand clearly our attitude and that
grave suspicion is resting upon us
that our whole code of morals is no
trial. These are the causes that i'm
pei US to set forth our attitude in this
matter as it is now and as it has been.
No dishonest practice, where knowl-
edge of such practices has been had
by the members of the corps, has ever
been tolerated by the regiment Of
midshipmen
Honesty and veracity has been de-
manded of every individual For our
mutual protection we have frowned
upon any leanings toward a policy less
than scrupulously honest and frank.
Far from countenancing irregulari-
ties, where they have been detected,
We have shown our willingness to aid
the authorities in Kidding the naval
service of the undesirable member
who may have been guilty of the
misconduct.
I'm view of this state Of affairs the
honor committees of the several class
es were discontinued as unnecessary
in military institution. where the
principles OF honor and truthfulness
are the basis of discipline. We have.
Notwithstanding the discontinuance OF
these committees. upheld the ideas Of
honesty and yeracity as a matter Of
loyalty and obedience
Therefore, since we believe the
honor Of the Naval Academy to be at
stake, and since we consider it imper-
atfve upon ourselves to protect it. we
present this declaration of our princi-
pies, in order that our attitude in this
matter may be made clear, definite and
final"
Admiral William F. Fullam has re-
piled as follows:
The declaration of principles Of
honor and yeracity submitted BY the
regiment of midshipmen has been re-
ceived. In view of the direct personal
actresses made to the regiment by the
Superintendent during the past eigh-
teen months and Of the letter sent to
the parents of every midshipman. in
which certain serious offenses were
declared to be so dishonorabIe that
they would never be tolerated at the
Naval Academy. and that every mid
shipman should avoid even the slight
est appearance OF guilt. the Superin-
tendent has found it impossible to ac-
count for the recent occurrences at
the Naval Academy.
The declaration OF principles only
confirms the Superintendent in the be-
lief that he has always had, that the
Evening capital and Maryland gazette., 1915-06-26

standard of the midshipmen is high.
and that dishonorable conduct is linz
tied TO q comparative few. The state
ment that the sO-called honor system.
as practiced at other schools, is un-
necessary At the Naval Academy is
perfectly rue. Every midshipman
who enters the Naval Academy takes
a solemn oath. viz: / will we'll and
faithfully discharge the duties Of the
Office upon which I am about to enter
so help me God
The whole naval system is one OF
honor, from start to finish. Ii is the
best honor system that exists in any
institution or in any service. Other
honor systems are unnecessary for
men OF honor and none of them will
ever make a dishonorable man honor
able
The Superintendent must empha
size the fact that nothing is more rep
rehensiye than attempts 70 shield gull
" men by throwing the responsibility
for their misconduct upon others,or by
bringing discredit upon those who
have used every possible means TO es-
tablish and maintain high standards
In conclusion the superintendent
agrees with the regiment that the
honor of the Naval Academy is at
stake, and he wishes to impress every
midshipman with the fact that 'ac-
tions speak louder than words an ad-
age that has always controlled the
conduct of the officers and men i'm the

Another searching investigation into
charges of hazing at the Naval Acad-
emy is now in sight as a result of the
evidence given by Midshipman Chas.
NJ. Reagle, before the "gouging" in
vestigators yesterday, according to "a
despatch from Washington.
Midshipman Reagles statement was
received with surprise by the Navy
Department officials. The impression
prevails there that that hazing was
stopped several years ago following
the investigation at that time
There is no question that Secretary
Daniels intends to go TO the bottom Of
the charges and will take determ-
ined steps to break up the practice if
Reagle's testimony is sustained.
At the time of the other investiea-
tion the entire body Of midshipmen
took the pledge never TO haze and this
promise was accepted by the Navy
Department officials as ending the
practice at the Naval Academy.

Turkeys WILL PAY

C. f. Weldon who lives near San
Jon, was here Monday with load of
turkeys and chickens. He had rs fine
young Mammoth Bronze turkeys and
10 young frying chicks. The turkeys
brought the neat sum of $39.55 while
the chicks totaled up $5.46.
He had u number of late hatched
turkeys which brought the average In
weight down considerable but still
they averaged l0la each. The price
paid was l3hc for the turkeys and
lie for the chickens, making the tur-
keys bring something like $l.40 each.
Mr.. Welden says turkeys are easy
to raise in this country because they
can find plenty of grasshoppers, have
plenty of range and are less suscepti-
ble to vermin. There is hardly ever
any dew of mornings and this is u
great enemy to turkeys in the east.
Some of his young turkeys this year
weigh as much as 20 pounds.
