and the character of the intended

Dr.. T. Tertius Noble, orgsnist Of st.

Organists against the licensing Of
music teachers. Allan Robinson, Of
the Mendclssohn Glce Club, declared
there we're. many good teachers who

not an exact science, as compared with
medicine and law, and should be treatcd
differently. If the teachers Of music

not license sculptors and painters? ? he
asked.
Oscar Sanger spoke ggainst the
licensing Of teachers and drew the ap-
plause Of the gathering when he said
that If the teachers showed a little
more charity toward each other there
would be no need for such meeting.

To Get New Cases
Hearing On the Charge of
Throwing Glass at Plebe
Ends, Department to Get
/. Records, Make Decision
snscial ptspateh to Tho Trtbuns

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Nov. 15.--The
court martial which had been trying
Midshipman Jack H. Kerans, of Okla
homa, member Of the first class, on
charges of hazing finished its hearing
this afternoon and the record will now
go through the superintendent of the
academy to the Navy Department for
decision. The charge against Kerans
was that he tossed a water tumbler
toward fourth classman Neal r. Camp
bell and when the plebe. missed it.,
caused him to get under the table.
The court was not able to reach q
conclusion after lengthy consultation
and recalled Midshipman William e.
Hennigar, of the first class, who was
witness yesterday and whose testi-
mony was designed to create the i'm
preston that he, not Kerans, tossed
the. tumbler at Campbell. Hennigar
declined to answer certain questions
yesterday on the ground that they
tended to incriminate him. He said
to-day that he did not throw the
tumbler and also that. number of
glasses were tossed on this occasion at
plebes at the table at which he and
kerans sat.
, me evidence in the case was incon-
elusive. Campbell, at whom the tum-
bier was thrown, and other midship.
men who sat at the table, said they did
not know who threw it or who had
given the order for Campbell to get
under the table. Fourth classnian
James G. Bonifant, who was the chief
accusing witDess in previous case.
said positively that Kerans had done
both, while that midshipman denied
both acts
Tomorrow the court will take up the
case of Midshipman George M. Lord.
OF Honolulu, charged with ,hazinp
fourth classman Wendall B. Allen jr.,
OF Dewey, Okla, by calling him to the
accused,,s room, causing him to do
physical exercises and striking him
with stick. 1t is the first case of
the present series in which direct
physical violence is alleged.

Jersey Veterans
Declare Hospital
Neglects Patients
Discharged FrOra North
Hudson Institution as Re-
suit of Smoking, Legion
and War Mothers Report

Charges Of discrimination, gross
neglect and ineificiency in the treat
rnent Of cx-service men at North Hud-
son Hospital, Weehawken, N. J., will be
forwarded at once TO the State De-
partment of Institutions and Agencies,
American Legion chiefs and Hudso,.
County Association Of War Mothers, 1t
was announced yesterday by Weehawken
Post, American Legion. Tho charges
were denied by Emil Groth, chairman
OK che board OF governors Of the hos-
pital, and Paul Moos, member of the
board.
The Legion committee. headed by
Captain William W. West and the Rev.
made q six weeks investigation of con-
ditions at the institution. One Of the
cases said to have been brought to the
committees attention was that Of John
Bowen, who had been made mentally
unbalanced by shell shock. Bowen, It
was alleged, was permitted TO walk out
OF the institution after he had made
two attempts at suicide.
Another ease cited concerned q man
who was said TO have passed ali except
six days Of four years in hospitals. He
had been discharged from 8 New York
institution and vas visiting in West
New York in September, when he was
found exhausted and taken to North
Hudson Hospital. This patient had
been permitted to smoke in other insti-
tutions, but that privilege had been
denied at North Hudson. On October
10, it was asserted, the soldier waa
caught smoking and few minutes
later was handed his clothing and sent
from the institution in rain.
According to Mr.. Moos's version Of
this incident, the veteran had been re-
peatedly warned against smoking in the
ward, but continued the practice. On
October 10 he was told by the super
intendent to give what cigarettes he had
TO the nurse and that he would be al
lowed to smoke at times, but not in the
ward.
"The superintendent told him that
Il he persisted in smoking in the ward
no alternative remained but to dis
charge him from the hospital" Mr..
Moos said. "He said: Give me my
clothes and I'll get out now He took
it entirely upon himself to leave the
hospital. The superintendent advised
him to wait, but he would not"
According to the committee, former
service men on entering the hospital
were asked who would pay for their
treatment One is said to have di-
rected the bill be sent to Weehawken
Post. 1t is declared the bill was sent
to the Legion post, but was returned to
the hospital.
