Two midshipmen will be dismissed from the academy within a few days by the Sec- retary of the Navy, one for hazing and the other for countenancing it by failure while on duty to report its occurrence. Other dismissals will follow as often as midshipmen are found gullty of hazing or countenancing it. Aroused by the condition of affairs which reports show to exist at the acad- emy so far as the treatment of fourth- class men is concerned, Secretary Bona- parte late this afternoon telephoned to Rear Admiral James H. Sands, superin- tendent of the academy, a request to come to Washington as soon as possible for a conference. This conference will be held to-morrow. It will be the initial step in a mew and vigorous campaign to be waged at Annapolis agdinst hazing. Congressional investigations of the eon- ditions at the academy have already been | proposed in a resolution introduced in | the House by Representative Loud of Michigan. DISMISSAL OF OFFENDERS., Secrctary Bonaparte to-day received an official report from Admiral Sands an- nouncing the suspension of Midshipman Trenmore Coffin Jr., third class man, for hazing Midshipman Jerdone Pettus Kimy brough, fourth class man, by him to stand on his head until he be- came unconsciou: of Midshipman Warren A. Vande classfman, because while on duty currence and failed to report. The su- perintendent called attention to the fact that Midshipmen Coffin and Vandervere were guilty of violating a well-known regulation of the academy, and recom- mended their summary, digmissal in ac- cordance with an adt ol [Longress ap- proved March 8, 1903. *° Secretary Bonaparte wishes to obtain from the Attorney General an opinion regarding certain phases of the case which, while exceedingly important, will not affect, it is understood, his final ac- tion approving the recommendation for summary expulsion, It was learned from official sources to- day that the hazing of Kimbrough was even more brutal than was first sup- posed, more dangerous in its results and more blameworthy in its origin.” He was undoubtedly hazed because he testified, under compulsion, before the investigation | | | board and implicated some of the upper | class men. For this he was threatened by upper class men, who sald that they would kil! him, and he is still under that | threat, it is said, repeated since the oc- currence. KIMBROUGH IS IMPROVIN No secret was made at the Navy De- P ment of the determination of the offi- cials to make short shrift of hazing, “running” and all’ such practices at the academy. If necessary, it is understood, the President will be appealed to to veto bill that may be passed by Con- s providing for the reinstatement of midshipman r | | | | | |a expelled for hazing or countenancing it. ANNAPOLIS, Md., Dec. 14—Midship- man Kimbrough was to-night reported as’rapidly gaining strength and is in no danger. The gondition of Midshipman Henry G. Cooper Jr. Is also improving. Admiral Sands will go fo Washington to-morrow. to support his recommenda- tion of dismissal in the cases of Midship- { man Trenmore Coffin Jr. and Midship- | man Warren A. Vandevere. Dr. George | W. Vandevere of Mount Holly, N. J., | 3 Midshipman Vandevere, does gard the dismissal of his son as will fight it before the Secre- tary of the Navy and in case of failure there probably before Congress. Naval Academy authorities state that there was no doubt of Vandevere's failure to do his duty and that if Kimbrough had not received proper attention he would probably have died. The investigating board will continue ts worky its powers having been en- larged. MOUNT HOLLY, N. J., Dec. 14—-Mid- shipman Warren A. Vandevere, in a let- ter to his parents received here to-day, states that he was not on duty Tues- day night, at the time the hazing oc- curred at the Annapolis Naval Academy, for which his dismissal has been recom- mended by Admiral Sands. e Denths Exceed the Births. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 14.—The annual report of the City Health Department show that during the last year there were 3104 deaths in Los Angeles and 2935 births. There were 787 deaths in the hospitals of the city. Seventy-four of the deaths were suicides.

PANAMA, Dec. 14—The Standard Oil Company s, conquering new fields on the isthmus and as a result the friction be- tween Presldent Amador and Governor General Magoon is increasing. The .Standard, following its polley of securing all concegsions that seem prom- ising, sent agemshh“ere some time ago to | look over the -field. The agents discov- ered that the Penama Rallroad Company, operating under its agreement with the United States Government, enjoyed a monopoly of all carrying along the’itsh- mus. As’ Governor General Magoon seemed an uncompromising subject, the agents for the oil company proceeded to get into touch with the President of Panama, and it was announced to-day that the Stand- ard had succeeded In securing franchises for the comstruction of dual pipe lines across the isthmus, the first from Colon to Panama and the second to connect Bocos del Torro, on the Bay of Chiriqui, with David. on the Pacific. As evidence of the workings of the Standard’s agents, the concession was not Jersey corporation, but in the name of one pf its subsidiary companies, the Union Oil Company of California. It was obtained through the efforts of Senor Jose Augustin Arango, chalrman of the | Separatist Triumvirate, who arranged the | famous Panama revolution. It is believed there will be a lively fight between the Standard interests and Presi- dent Amador on one side and Chairman Magoon and the American administration on the other. Chairman Magoon disputes the right of President Amador or any other official of Panama granting any franchlse to af- fect the canal strip, which was ceded to the United States by treaty, and he is likely to take energetic ste (CATHOLIC PONTIFF MAKES APPOINTMENTS Red Hats Are Also Bestowed on Two of the New Cardinals.

And if, after the | | mother had flogged you in the presence of a large and unsympathetic muiltitude, two big policemen had taken you to jail and charged you with disturbing the peace, wouldn’t you naturally feel that it isn't always safe to do the mercy act for a disabled lover? It you lack the imagination to place yourself in the vietim's place, just ask Willlam Kriske, who will be found this morning in one of the city Police Courts, making explanations to some Judge. There are some confiicting statements concerning the case, but one fact is cer- tain—that when Kriske appeared at the Berkeley ferry yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock to meet pretty Miss Sophie Schmidt of Berkeley, Mrs. Sophie Schmidt of Berkeley was also there with a strap bearing a huckle at the end, and she beat Kriske unmerecifully before a large and appreciative crowd that had no occasion to cry “fake.” Kriske claims that he was only the bearer of a note from a friend, Eddle Ha- denfeldt, whe lay sick in a Berkeley hos- pital, to Miss Sophie, but.Mrs. Schmidt says she believes Hadenfeldt was used as a decoy. At any rate the mother learned from her daughter that Kriske was to meet the latter and she went along too. Arrived at the ferry depot, here Mrs. Schmidt told her troubles to Policeman Hightower. USES LASH VIGOROUSLY. “Get a warrant for his\arrest,” vised the patrolman. Not much,” replied the irate mother. ‘Il take the law in my own hands first, with this to help me.” Here she produced the strap, to the | end of which gclung the heavy steel buckle. Just then Kriske sauntered along. Crowds of suburbanites on their way | home from a campaign of Christmas | shopping thronged the space in front of | the ferry depot, but Mrs. Schmidt and her strap soon cleared a space within | which she administered to Kriske a | thrashing from which he tried in vain to | escape. Hemmed in by the crowd, he| could get no father away from Mrs. | ad- would reach and Mrs. Schmidt's aim was accurate. Her aim was better than her wind, and at the end of the first exciting round the woman was exhausted. Kriske wormed his way through the crowd and landed in the arms of Policemen Thomson and Hightower, who took him to the Harbor police statien, charged him with dis- turbing the peace, and locked him up. At 4 o'clock he was herded into the patrol wagon and, in company with the day’'s accumulation of water-front drunks, taken to the City Prison, where he was provided with quarters for the night. There he made a statment to the effect that he was simply acting for Miss Schmidt and Hadenfeldt. Kriske states that he carried letters between the two and claims that, although he knew what the letters contained, the attack of the girl’'s mother was unwarranted. ENDEARING MISSIVES, In Kriske's possession was found a bun- dle of letters Miss Schmidt had written to her invalld sweetheart. All are couched in endearing terms and one of the envelopas contained her photograph. Kriske explains his possession of the mis- slves.by saying that Hadenfeldt did no: desire to keep them in the hospital ana entrusted them to his care. Mrs. Schmidt lles prostrated at her home, 1625 Derby street, Berkeley, as the result of her exciting experience in San Francisco. She is a quiet, modest little woman of sturdy German stock and dreads the publicity that has come through the whipping she administered to Kriske. She told her reasons as fol- lows: I gave Mr, Kriske a gound beating. > simply had to dot it. He was trying to abduct my daughter and there was no ore to protect her but myself. My husband is unable to leave the house. He s crippled with rheumatiem and I alone was lef§ to deal with this man. It was a hard task d 1 did not think I would be able to carry out my purpose, but the thought of this villain trying to steal my Httle girl from me gave me strength. I wanted to kill the wretch. I beat him with all m_Y strength, and when he begged me for mercy 1 d1d not stop, but kept striking him uptil the police came and carried him off to jail. MOTHER ARRAIGNS KRISKE. Sophie is only 13 yvears old. She will be 14 next month, but she looks to be at least 1. She is large for her age and very pretty.
