Bill Before Congress to Suppress
and Punish Hazing,
GUILTY TO BE DISMISSED.
Washington. -Ian. 111.—The senate
committee on military affairs discussed
the question of hazing at the West
Point military academy, and there was
a unanimous expression of opinion in
reprobation of the practice anil to the
effect that those guilty of it should be
summarily dealt with. The question
came up in connection with the mili-
tary academy bill and it was decided
to incorporate the following provision
in that bill as an amendment:
4'Under the direction of the secretary
of war, the superintendent of the
I'nited States military academy shall
make and enforce such rules and reg-
ulations as will prevent the practice
of ha/ing: and any cadet found guilty
of participating in such practice shall
be expelled from the academy and
shall not be reappointed to the corps
of cadets therein nor to the army of i
the I'nited States.*'
The question was taken up on the
suggestion of Senator Warren and
vigorously pressed by him as well as
by Senators Cockrell aud Harris.
This action results from two investi-
gations of cases of hazing at West |
Point which both resulted in the death
of the victims; one a military investi-
gation which practically whitewashed
the proceedings: the other by a con-
gressional committee which pushed the
practice to the raw. The published
reports of the examination of hazers
in the last named investigation has
aroused the whole country, which is
likely to result in radical action by
congress.

used at the primary election just as the
registration books are now used at the

allowed to vote at the primary who has
not registered his politics.
