¥ SENATORS ~ MORE IAENIENT‘S Majority Defend West Point Hazers from | ( Public's Bovers Arraignment. CONFERENCE REPORT IS TURNED DOWN | Provision for Permann and Disharring Defented by a V 18 to 42, "y ity Cadets te ot WASHINGTON, Feb. 1).--By the emphatic vote of 18 1o 42 the senate late this after noon rejected the couference report the military academy appropriation bill This action came at the conclusion of a spirited debate upon the provisions agalnst basing, inserted in the report of conference committee of the two branches of congress Discussiori of the provision, which was precipitated at the close of yesterday sesslon by Mr. Daniel of Virginla, cupled the greater part of today's ses sion and the report of the conferces was re Jected because it was regarded by a large majority of the senate s too drastic, and while no instructions could be given the conferees by the senate, it was understood that to secure favorable action by senate a modified provision as fo the penalty for hazing would have to be pre- | sented and agreed upon by the conferees. Early in the day Mr. Debos of Ken tucky delivered his announced speech upon the Nicaragua canal. He reviewed at length the proceedings which led up to the | present situation and strongly advocated the copstruction of the waterway by the United States. An effort was made to obtain considera- tlon for the bill reviving the grade of vice admiral of the navy, for the benefit of Rear Admirals Sampson and Schley, but it was unavailing. Sewell Opens the Debate. When Mr. Sewell called up the con- ference report on the military academy appropriation bill he defended the action ot the conferees, holding that they had followed the instructions of both the sen ate and the houre. He declared that many people thought Booz was killed by hazing and If there was anything this country de manded It was a law to prevent such a crime as hazing Mr. Pettus argued that the provision of the conference which debarred a cadet con- victed of hazing from ever holding a com- miselon In the army, navy or marine corps was clearly unconstitutional. Mr. Butler urged that congress ought not to be swept off its feet by popular clamor. He said hazing in moderation was not a thing to bo put down by penal legilation. He bad known men in college who were the | better for hazing in moderation. It did them good, took the conceit out of them. Messrs. Hawley, Chandler and Lodge expressed the opiulon that the confereos had gone too far and said that while hazing should be suppressed no perpetual stigma should be put on convicted cadets. Mr. Depew In opLosing the hazing penalty declared it had been adopted under public clamor and that congress had acted upon the fmpulse rather than upon judgment. He suggested that a conspiracy might be organized against some cadet at academy 80 that by securing his conviction for hazing he would be posted as a crimi- nal for life. He could not run for office a8 the brand would stand against him, and it would be a punishment almost equiva- lent to the Russian method of banishing students to Siberla and to the mines for violation of college regulations, Mr, Allen of Nebraska fn opposing any change in the panalty prescribed by the conference report for hazing had read a part of the report of the house commit- tee, which investigated the death of young Booz, which he declared “had no parallel for barbarity in prize fighting, in bear bait- ing or fn bull fighting.” Mr. pooner sald: ““The practice of haz- ing has been carried to an extent that is degrading, brutal and, In some respects to That it has | a point near the danger line been permitted I8 no credit to the institu tion." Tillman Lalls It a Disgrace, Mr. Tillman Interrupted to say that those cadets who practiced hazing upon their physical inferlors were “brutes and dogs" and he doubted whether the provision against hazing could go too far. “This school at West Polut," he asserted, “has becomo a disgrace in the eyes of the world on account of hazing." Mr. Teller sald: “We have got to stop it or eventually dismantle the institution." Mr. Wolcott thought congress had en- tered upon a trifiing business. The en- actment of the provision would make of the cadets milksops and prigs. He related some personal experiences of hazing in his college days and remarked that some of the hazers won name and fame, while oth- ers went from bad to worse, some even landing finally in the senate of the United States. In conclusion he deciared that for thirty-five years every West Point cadet had been hazed and in turn had become hazer. Despite that tho institution had de- veloped a splendid lot of fighting material. Congress was not justified In treating the body of cadets ltke a lot of school children and in bringlng them up as weak &nd en- oldlers.

The house then resumed consideration of the sundry civil bill. The item appropriat ing $100,000 for the Investigation of under- ground currents and artesian wells in the arid land reglons and the preparations of reports upon the best methods of utilizing | the water resources of those regions led to |a considerable debate upon the subject ot the irrigation of arid lands. The whole question was threshed over. Mr. Hill of Cennecticut sald the great scheme of frri- gatlon would cost the government $36,000,- 000,000 Mr. Newlands of Nevada sald these figures were chimerical. After some further remarks by Messrs. Mondell of Wyoming, King ot Utah and Bell of Colorado, Mr. Can- nen, chairman of the appropria- tions committee, concluded this branch of the debate. The arld land sen- ators and representatives, he sald, had ar- rived at the conclusion that thé time had come to irrigate the arid lands at the ex- pense of the federal treasury. Mr. Cannon predicted that if the scheme were entered upon it would cost more than $750,000,000 in the next fifty years. “In some respects,” sald Mr. Cannon, “I am a pretty good democrat—better than some of those calling themselves such on the other side. 1 believe in local sel-government, I will vote to give every acre of the arid lands to the states in which located, and to give to those states the power to go into the courts and to allow them to dete mine, as between themselves, their rights in the matter. 1 do not belleve any other policy can be pursued without making the population of the arid land states dependent upon the United States.” “Do you believe the reservoir sites in California from which Nevada could be watered should be ceded to Nevada ked Mr. Newlands. “I would give Nevada a day in court to The resolu fornfa,” replied Mr. Cannon. “But I think it would be far better to make out of N vada, with {ts 40,000 inhabitants, a respect- able county of Callfornia.” (Laughter and applause.)

TFor recruiting the strength and spent energies of men and women advanced in years there can be no substitute for Paine's celery compound. It is the one preparation considered worthy the name of a true nerve od and blood remedy by physicians throughout the country. It is prescribed by them in every state in the union to tone up the system, regulate the uerves, and restore health and strength. Nothing in the past has ever approached it in power of bullding up weakened nerve giving strength to the tired body. In severe cases of persistent head- aches, dyspepsia, nouralgia, and sleepless- ness, due to nervous fecbleness, Paine's cel compound has a record of rapid lasting cures that embraces every city and in the wide sweep of the United tissues and town States. 1ts remurkable power over disease lles its active replacing of worn-out parts by new, healthy oues, and its healing and purifying action among the most minute tissues of the body. The heavy, alarming pain in the back and loins disappears, the growing paleness, nervousness, and loss of flesh is stopped, and bright, bouant feeling gradually takes the place of that unending sense of tire and nervous depression. An improved appetite, sound digestion, uninterrupted sleep, and an energetic ner- vous condition invariably follow the use of Paine’s celery compound.
