Booz, formerly a West Point | ;rndv-h whe, 1t is alleged, died from injuries ‘rmv-:\v‘d from being hazed by the upper | class men two years ago, began its inquiry | here today. Ths committee, whish consists of Charles Dick, Ohio, chairman; Edmund H. Driggs, New York; Irving P. Wagner, nosylvania; Walter 1. Smith, Towa, and B. F. Clayton, New York, arrived here from Philadelphia this forenoon and immediately went into session. Chairman Dick presided. A number of witnesses were present, but fhe committee decided to hear the members of the Booz family first Willlam H. Booz, father of the deceased cadet, was the first witness. He was asked by Chairman Dick to tell the story of his boy's lifo while at the military academy as far as he knew. Mr. Booz then went | over the wame story he told before the War department inquiry sveral days ago. Mr. Booz said Oscar did not complain of “eagling,” but spoke more of the fight and the tabasco sauce incident. Oscar told him | he had black and blue marks on his body | as & result of his encounter with an upper- class man reluctantly told his | father that the hot sauce had been poured down his throat three times and that force was used Mr. Rooz,” asked Congressman Wanger, “was your son absolutely truthful?" “Yes, sir, absolutely,” was the reply. Oscar sald he was getting along very well | until he received a heart blow, which knocked him out. Osear, the father said, never had any throat or pulmonary troubles | provious to going to West Point. Oscar's eyes did not trouble him previous to going to West Point. Chairman Dick asked several questions as to the education of the son. He said he was up to the average and was proficient in mathematics. Chafrman Dick—Why did you not make officlal complaint to the officlals of the academy as to your son's tieatment? “I was afrald to do that because of the upper-class men.” “Do you believe your son died as n result | of hazing at West Point?" Mr. Booz was asked. “I firmly do.” Afrald o “Then why did mplaint?"* “I did not wish to have any publicity “Why did you not as a citizen make com- plaint?" “I did not know at that time the serious- ness of the case and also did not know there was any redress.” Mrs. Sarah E. Booz, mother of Oscar, sald her son was in rugged health when he went to the academy, but when he left he was broken in health and never was in good physical condition afterward. Mrs. Booz wept as she detailed the sufferings of her son. She called the West Point cadets bul- lies. She sald Oscar sent a letter home each week. In the fourth letter Oscar began to complain of i1l treatment. He resigned, she sald, because of his il treatment, but fn his resignation paper he gave the weak condition of his eyes as the reason for his quitting the academy. Miss Nellie Booz, a sister of Oscar, seid she saw in a newspaper a year ago that two cadets named Lane and Bender were expelled from the academy for tampering house com | appointed | by a Oscar Less favored sections—= 7| i Cata 5of 10d MOST WINTER ILLS The above map has been carefully com piled from United States documents by The | Peruna Medicine Company’ of Columbus, | Ohio.

The lightest shade shows the states which have the lowest per cent of deaths due to ca- tarrhal diseases. In thesesstates very close to 42 per cent of all deaths in 1890 were due to catarrhal diseases. That s to say, over four out of every ten deaths were from ca- tarrhal affections. In the states of next darker shade the per cent varies from 42 to 45. In the next dark- er shade, 45 to 48' per cent of the whole number of deaths resulted from catarrhal diseases. In the darkest shade we have in- dicated the states in which over 50 per cent, or one-half or more, of all the deaths were directly traceable to catarrh as the cause.

Miss Booz submitted several letters and | extracts of letters sent to members of the family by Oscar, five exhibits in all. The committee decided to withhold the letters from the public until it could consider them in executive session. This was done at the request of the family, as they contained some personal matters which in no way related to the investigatign.

He said each class bas a fighting committee which was appointed by the class. Albert sald he was more severely hazed than other cadets of his class. He was asked why and swered: “Principally because of my ligion.” Albert, who an- oy is a Hebrew, sald he re signed from tho academy partly because life there was unbearable and partly hecause he disliked milliary life. Albert further said that if a fourth-class man incurred the displeasure of an upper-class map, the sentinels, who were mostly cadets of the upper classes, would enter false demerits agalnst the victim and In many caces the unfortunate cadet would thus be forced cut of the academy. Cadets, he sald, had a right to appeal from the demerits. Albert firmly believed that he was ostra- clzed at West Point because of his being a Jow.
