TWO PUT ON TRIAL IN
HAZING OF MIDDIES
Secret Inquiry Also Under
Way at Annapolis.

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 13.-Investigation OF
hazing at the Naval Academy assumed
broader scope to-day when Rear Ad-
mIral Henry Il. Wilson, superintendent,
announced that two members OF the first
class were under court martial for Of
fences against two "plebes" and another
board was secretly investigating rumors
of other alleged hazings.
The midshipmen on trial are Stuart
IL. Hawkins. Massachusetts, and Bruce
Robinson, Arizona. A third, Thomas J.
Casey. Massachusetts, is under arrest.
All are senior classmen.
Admiral Wilson refused to name tho
two victims at the Naval Hospital. He
declared that while the hazing, accord
ing to reports, was of mild form, he
was determined upon a thorough inquiry.
He reiterated his intention OF denying
the first class men the privilege of at
tending the Mayhem football game at
Philadelphia October 2S. The privilege
had been extended to the entire student
body.
The offense charged against Midship-
man Hawkins is alleged to have been
committed n few days ago while the
student body was in the mess hall Ad-
miral Wilson declined to specify the
offense. In the old days when hazing
was more prevalent favoritc practice
was to compel a "plebe" to eat under
the table.
Caseys connection with one of the
alleged hazing instances Is said to be
only that he was the senior midshipman
at the table.
Robinson is alleged to have put a
"piebe" through the physical exercise
known as the sixteenth" In one of the
bedrooms of Bancroft Hall.

and have TO remain here indefinitely /

studies"
When coming here on tho Carmania
Mr.. Marjoribanks saw what he at first
thought was the most beautiful Ameri-
can girl. He hadn't seen the others
then. She was very formal and he could
not get an introduction. He noted that
the only person she spoke TO was a
dining room steward. so the day before
they landed here he persuaded the
steward TO let him, dressed in the
stewards uniform, wait on the young
woman. Only by this last resort was he
finally able 10 get a few words with her.
