COLONEL MILLS TELLS OF FIGHTS West Point Superintendent on the Witness Stand. e Only Learned of Fistic Engagements When Participants Were Obliged to Go to the Hospital. & WEST POINT, jan. 12—When the Con- gressional investiga‘'ing committee to-day resumed its probing process into hazing at the milltary academy. there was an ua- usually large gathering of spectators ir the examinaticn room. The first witness called to-day was Colonel A. L. Mills, su perintendent of the academy. The witness said that he graduated from West Poin* in June, 1879. During his experience as cadet, he said, fourth class men were re quired to be obedient and respectful to the upper class men, but not in the same measure which they would be obliged to 1ecognize the authority of an academy of- ficer. The same demerit tem which now exists was then in vogue. “Did they have class scrapping commi:- tees then?" asked Judge Smith. “They did not.” “Did they have fist fights to a finish, Vot that I can recall. I think thete were cnly three fights during my academic term. These were of an impromptu na- ture and I think the contestants were all first class men.” Judge Smith then asked a questions bearing on the surveillance o the movements of cadeis at night and elicited the information that no officer i supposed to be awake all night in order to see that the cadets don't get outside of the pest reservation. General Dick asked the witness many questions bearing on the summary expul- sion from the academy of former Cadets number ol FRANK E. SMITH, WHO HAS CA D HAS OR ERWIN.

The charge of violating the Federal eight-hour law, preferred against ex- Mayor W. R.

He said that only two fights had come to his knowledge and they were made known through the fact that the cadets had to go to the hospital. Colonel Mills told the committee cadets who had been fighting did not usually show marks of punishment that might attract the attention of the officers Colonel Mills said he believed fighting would cease in the academy and he felt the best method of abolishing fighting and hazing would be the creation of a senti- nent among the cadets against such prac- His residence is at 1317 Broad- He married in this State and has . daughter The news of his pro- 00d tidings to all of ¢ friends, and though he will be - district which has known him <o there is none but will be glad of his good fortune. G e el ) BHILWAY PATES ‘0T EXCESSIV of wa thr e to stir up such a sentiment. The superintendent informed the com- mittee that up to about a year ago there was great difficulty in securing evidence from men who were hazed, as the regula- tions made hazers and hazed subject to punishment. As the regulations had been revised so that it is no longer a punish- able offense to be hazed the colonel said that the fourth class men could now com- plain’ without incriminating themselves. This in a great measure, he said, would tend to make the fourth class men resist any attempts at hazing. The witness then stated that there was a declded change for the better in regard to the exercising during last summer's encampment. “What would you think of a scheme of administering an oath against hazing to a cadet when he gets his appointment?” asked Mr. Driggs. “I should not think it wise.d There is a difficulty in defining hazing. Chafiing and quizzing new cadets is not hazing,” replied the colonel. In renly to another question the wit- ness said: “While T do not regard fighting at the academy as a trifling affair, I do not think it would be wise to change the existing ule.” TMf. Driggs sad: “T have heard it said In several parts of the country that fight- ing is traditional at West Point. Now, I want to ask, is it true that vou West Point officers are so imbued with the tra- ditions of fighting that you don’t care to have it stopped?” “That is certainly not true.” replied the witness with some feeling, “‘and the offi- cers of the academy want to put it down. Fighting is not traditional here. I am strongly opposed to it.” “Is it not cowardly on the part of upper class men to call out fourth class men to fight against men who have better phy- sical advantage?"’ “Yes, 1 think it is wrong, and to a cer- tain extent. cowardly.” was the reply. Colonel Mills was questioned as to the dismissal of Cadet Huetzler. Colonel Clayton said Huetzler had been reported forty-one times by officers and on these reports he received sixty-five de- merits, and on seventy-six reports from cadets he received 152 demerits, making in all 219 demerits. Colonel Mills, when asked if he had ever found cadet officers to be partial in their reports, sald he never in his career as superintendent had Opinions of Members the Joint Postal Committee. - Rl WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—-The joint Postal Committee of the House and Sen- tigation into the question of charges for rallway malil transportation, the exten- sion of pneumatic tube service, second- el mail matter and other questions af- fecting mail facilities and expenditures slon to-day and will present its report to ‘ongress on Monday. ‘The report will not be unanimous and there will be several dissenting opinions on different poin Regarding the main question, that of the cost of railroad mail portation, the conclusion of the com- ¢ is that under the present system charge is not excessive.

Upon the question of sec- ond-class mail matter, although the com- mittee concurs in the opinfon that the present classification is inequitable, no specific recommendation is made, as it is stated that Congress is already thoroughly familiar with the Issue involved. Regard. ing the matter of special railroad facili- tles, the committee, with the exception of to e, abused his authority.

PSS - SEATTLE, Jan. 12.—The steamer Tilla- mook, United States mall carrier between Juneau and Dutch Harbor, was wrecked on Névember 27 on Wood Island reef, off Kadiak, Alaska. Her passengers and crew, numbering thirty all told, made their way to Kadiak, five miles distant, in the vessel's lifeboats. Captain Hughes, commander of the Tillamook, remained by her for six days, when he left the ship to her fate, going to Kadlak, where he joined the shipwrecked, all of whom | were rescued December 27. a month sub- sequent, by the steam schooner Aloha, bound from Unalaska to Juneau. The passengers and crew were taken to Ju- neau, there embarking on the steamer Senator, which arrived in this port at noon to-day. Captain Hughes says that the Tillamook was doing better than nine knots an hour when she brought up on the reef, where she was lurched and jerked about until she tore several holes in her bottom, also badly breaking her sides and frames. He | and both the pilots were upon the bridge when she struck and had, as they sup- posed, a clear entrance to the harbor of Kadiak. The vessel is a total loss and she lies within a few miles of the wreck of the old steamer Wolcott, which went to pleces on a simHar reef two years ago. e Tillamook, which was owned in San Francisco, salled from Seattle on Oc- tober 20, beginning her run under a char- ter to the Alaska Mall Steamship Com- pany from Juneau, November 6. She pro- ceeded to Unalaska and was returning when overtaken by disaster. The Aloha, in returning frcm 1nalaska to tha rescue of the Tillamook’'s ship- wrecked passengers and crew, also got on the rocks. She brought up on Sand Point reef, to the west of L'nga tearing away mnearly all of her keel. She sprang a leak, but managed to keep free or wa- ter by the constant use of the pumps. She is returning to this port from Juneau. Among the shipwrecked ssengers wepe: N. Gray, of the Alaska Commercial Compeny: Mrs. H. M. Hughes, of San Francisco; Mrs. Lyall and Miss Emily Lyall, wife and daughter of Mr. Robert Lyall, surgeon of the Apollo mine at Unga. The full list is not obtatnable. as it is in possession of the purser, who Is aboard the Aloha. ICE COVERS HER DECKS. Fishing Steamer New England En- counters Rough Weather. VANCOUVER, Jan. 12—With her decks covered with a foot of ice and her rigging looking like an Arctic iceberg the steam- ship New England, the largest fishing boat in the world, compieted her trip from the north to-day. She had what her cfficers say was the roughest voyage since she commenced the fishing business two and a half years ago. Frank John- son, a fisherman, was so badly frozen that he will be compelled to remain in a hespital for some time. The coldest weather was experienced on the way north to the Queen Charlotte Islands, off the eastern coast of which Lalibut are caught, to be shipped to the Eastern markets. Johnson was on the forward deck and had to climb into the rigging to prevent being swept overboard by the tremendous seas that washed from end to end of vessel. He was obliged to remain in that position for am hour, and when taken below his hands and feet were frozen. On the way south a storm was met within. fifty miles of Queen Charlotte Sound.
