Y., Jan. 10.—Before the members of the Congressional inves- tigating committee resumed their in- quiries to-day into the charges of hazing at the Military Academy they visited the camp grounds at Fort Clinton, where many fights between cadets have oc- curred. Colonel Clayton, who is a grad- uate of the academy, explained the ar- rangements of the tents in the summer encampments to his brother committee- men, and when they visited the rink in the rear of the camp the “stretching” pro- | cess, by which several cadets were hazed, discussed. Cadet William R. Bettison of Kentucky the first witness. He testified that et Breth was his classmate and that Cadet Booz was a fourth class man, while he (the witness) was a third class man. He never knew of Breth being | man hazed. The witness said he knew of five | Mrs. Kennedy, who was formerly Miss fights between cadets during his first | Lulu Prince, married Kennedy Decembar year and was present at two of them. 1 Witness sald that there were nine fights during the year 1599-1900 and seven during | the present year. Bettison recalled the names of the participants in nearly all of these fights. He said none of these fights had been investigated by the authori- 4, 1900, and the groom': actions during the ceremony indicated tnat he was not a willing party to the contract. The father and brother of the bride accompanied the | couple during the marriage ceremony. { Last Tuesday Kennedy brought suit to | annul his marriage with Miss Prince. He | alleged in his petition that he was forced | ties, and consequently no one had been | punished. He had never been a prin- | into the marriage by threats to take his fpel in & fight, but had officiated at sev- | life If he refused and that the threats were made not only by the father and brother of the young voman, but by her | | also. The petition “said that he never | lived with her as his wife. The girl's family ci>ims that she and Kennedy were enga. 7 to be married, | when he met another a8 woman and fell in love with her. "ie broke the en- | gagement with Miss Prince, they say, and | the cards were out announcing his mar- | riage with the other young woman when | | eral, and was the chairman of the *“‘scrap- | ping committee,” which decided when a | fight was to be arranged. Bettison described the fights as bare- knuckle affairs, under Marquis of Queens- berry rules, except that the rounds were two minutes each. He said the principals stripped to the walst and fights were aily to a finish. “Then you here hold fights of a brutal nature, which the laws of forty out of forty-five States in the Union have pro- hibited?” said Mr. Driggs. Bettison made no reply. Mr. Driggs then inquired if hazing or essisting at hazing cadets was violating the oath administered to a cadet on his entrance to the academy. After some evasion the witness said that violations of the academy regulations were not con- sidered by the cadets as violations of the articles of war and were not looked upon the father and brother of Miss Prince took & hand in the aftuir. ennedy was about W years of age, and his wife is 20, ¢ b HUSBAND CHARGED WITH % MURDER OF HIS WIFE William Holst of Port Blakeley Is Arrested at Manila, His Wife Being Found Dead.

SHYS THE POPE 5 GRATIFED Former Chaplain to Duke of Norfolk Speaks of the Latter’s Address. Fears, However, That the Italian People May Resent the Expres- sions Relative to Tem- poral Power. el NEW YORK, Jan. 10. -The Rev. A. Fas- anotti, D. D., now 4 resident of New York, but formerly chanlain to the Duke of Norfolk, in England, speaking of the Duke and the scene Rome attendant upon his address to the Pope, in which he expressed the hope that the temporal power would be returncd to the Holy See during the new century, sald: “1 am afraid that tic Duke has stirred up a hornet's mest. ! am an Italian my- self and, having resided in Rome for a of the Itallans in regard to any utter- ances which might advocate or imply the The speech lish pilgrims at the Vatican, comin, it does from a prominent member o British aristocracy, zannot but as the exclte prised if violence was to be offered tne English visitors to the Bternal City on this account, as was the case of the French pilgrims in 139). “Up to the present time the Italians | have always congidered the English peo- ple and their Government in sympathy the independence and unification of their | country, which could not possibly have been obtained without the disappearance of the temporal power of the Pope. “Just now,” said the speaker, ‘‘the Pope has insisted that foreign prelates and prominent Catholics should take up the advocating and defending of such rights | to temporal power and the wecent utter- ances of Archbishop Ireland and of Cardi- na] Vaughan amply testify to this fact. “Personally, the Duke is not concerned | if the Pope 8 lost his temporal power. | He has always been an earnest admirer of | the Ttalian people and of their efforts at | unity and Iindependence. His present visit | to Rome at the head of the English pil- grimage is a kind of reparation for nis and the English Catholics’ neglect during the holy year, in the whole course of which no ‘English representation of tne ;'alhnllc church visited Rome and the Pope. ‘“As to the effect of any assertion of tho | rights of the Pope to (emporal power, it is hard to make any prediction. Perhaps | the Pope wishes that some sort of foreign pressure be exercised on the Itallan Gov- | ernment to make it relinquish the domtu- ion of at least the ~ity of Rome to the | Holy See. It is persistently rumored in | Rome and abroad that the outcome of the | | present agitation will be the definition of | ihe necessity of the temporal power of the Pope as a dogma of the Roman Catholic faith and_in that case all Catholics will | be obliged to admit the doctrine and do their utmost for the raiurn to the Pope o a temporal sovereignta. “English Catholics, nowever, do not at | present concern themselves very much | about such matters, unless, which'I hard- ly think possible. the utterances of the Duke of Norfolk in Kome might be; stir English public opinion. me thing is certain, however, and that is that Leo XIIT will be very much pleased that his | wishes have found an echo in the | words of the most prominent member of the English nobflity.” BILL AIMS TO CLOSE ALL POOLROOMS Will Permit Making of Wagers Only at Place of Contest., CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 10.—The first of the pool- | selling legislation appeared to-day In a bill by Belshaw, which limits the selling of pools to the place where the contest upon which the pools are sold takes place.

Consideration was concluded of the com- mittee amendments of the army reorgan- ization bill, and the Senate took up the amendments proposed by individual Sen- ators.

STRANGE IS THE EFFECT OF A PLUNGE INTO BAY Lewis Hope, Hostler, Emerges From the Waters of the Bay a First- Class Musician. Lewis Hope, an employe of the quarter- master's . department at the Presidio, while endeavoring to rescue his hat which a gust of wind had lifted from his head and blown overboard, came within an ace of losing his life. In reaching for his hat from the wharf he lost his balance and fell into the water. The weight of his clothes carried him under, and had it not been for the prompt action of a rnug{le of fishermen he would have drowned. He was taken to the Post Hospital, where the surgeons succeeded in bringing him to. Before taking his impromptu bath Hope had been discoursing on his abilities as a veterinarian, claiming to be able to cure the aches and pains of any animals, par- ticularly the army mule. When taken from the water his mind had undergone a complete change. He had forgotten all about his ability as a horse doctor and insisted that ha was the greatest musician of the age, and that with the hel: of a few friends, not quite so great as him- self, he intended to organize an orchestra before which the present leaders would be ashamed to perform. After being thor- oughly warmed up he issued passes to every one within reach for his opening per- formance, which will take place when he ets his trunk, in which he says is stored is musical instruments. Orders were received at the quartermas- ter's department yesterday calling for the erection of a number of new tents in Model Camp. They are to be occupied by the men of Second Provisional Battalion, which is about to be formed. There are about 200 unassigned recruits at the Pre- sidio ready for the new command.

'SITUATION IN SOUTH AFRICA GROWS WORSE M Fall ut oppo- use wi Kitchener's Dispatehes | More Laconic Than } Were Roberts’. | PSP LONDON, Jan. 11, 5 a. m.—The situation in South Africa grows worse rather than better. Lord Kitchener's dispatches are more laconic than those of Lord Roberts and lttle else of fmportance is allowed to come through. The Times in an editorial te-day finds | comfort in the thought that “the process of attrition is doing its work and must | shortly lead to the inevitable resuit.” In other quarters, however, there is less satisfaction with the condition of affairs, which has practically necessitated the | fortification of Cape Town. No steps have been taken to comply with Lord Kitchener's demands for re- inforcements. Lord Coleridge, in a letter excusing his no ttendance at a political meeting, 1 loathe and detest this war and the poliey which brought it about, the mode in which it is conducted and the undigni- | fled excitement over the defeat of a hand ful of peasants defending their country at the hands of ten times their number | of trained soldlers, backed by the wealth | of England. | GUARANTEES | LIEBIG EXTRAST YUST AS GOODOS™ |@wsrr DR.
