WKST POINT, N. Y., Jan. 12. Colonel A.
L. Mills, superintendent of the United
Stales military academy nt West Point,
occupied the witness stand during tho morn
ing And afternoon session of tho congres
sional Investigation committee, with tho
exception of a few minutes during which
Horace 0. Boo testified that the ovldonce
given by him beforo the military court on
December 2S was correctly reported on tho
record. Colonel Mills occupied tho atten
tion of tho commltteo at the night Hessian.
Ho made an cxbaustlro and a compre
hensive statement of bis administration ns
superintendent of tho academy since ISaS
and went Into details upon every point upon
which tho coramlttco wished to bo enlight
ened. Several times during the day novoral
congressmen comprising the commlttco ex
pressed themselves, as being pleased with
thrao efforts ho was making to stamp out
bating at tho academy. Onco he showed
omo feeling when Mr. Hrlggs asked him If
it wero true that the officers of the West
Point academy wero so much Imbued with
the fighting tradltlona of the academy thai
they did not caro to atop It. Tho colonel
put himself on record as being opposed to
fighting and said It was not a traditional
Institution at tho academy. He wild every
officer nt tho academy was ngnlnst It nnd
It was no part of tho training of the cadets.
Tho commlttco will hold throo sessions
dally during tho greater part of next week.
Colonel Mills snld that bo wns graduated
from West I'olnt In Juno, 1879. During his
ezDerlenco ns n cadet, ho suld, fourth-class,
men wero required to bo obedient and re
spectful to tho upper class men, but not In
tho same mcusuro which they would be
obliged to recognlsto the authority of an
academy officer. Tho same demerit system
which now exists was then In vogue.
"Did they bnvo class scrapping commit
tees than?" asked Judgo Smith.
"They did not.''
"Did they have fist fights to a nnlib, with
referees, seconds and timekeepers?"
"Not that I can recall. I think there
were only three fights during my ucademlc
terra. Thouo wero of an Impromptu nature,
and I think tho contestants were all first
class men."
Judge Smith then asked a number of
questions bearing on the survclllanro of tho
movements of radetn nt night and elicited
tho Information that no officer Is supposed
to be awako all night In order to nco that
the cadets do not get outsldo of the post
reservation.
At tho night session Horace C. Ilooz was
examined briefly as to the accuracy of tho
report of tils testimony beforo tho military
iourt. This wns accepted by the commlttco
ind Ilooz excused.
Colonel Mills was then questioned ns to
tho dismissal of Cadet Huetzlcr. Colonel
Clayton said Huetzlcr had bcon reported
.forty-one times by olllccra and on tlirfo ho
received sixty-seven demerits, nnd on
ncvcnty-tlx reports from cadets ho received
152 demerits, mnklng in nil 219 demerits.
Colouol Mills when asked If ho had over
found cadot officers to bo partial In their
reports said ho never In his career us
.supcrlntencdcnt had even a suspicion of a
cadot ofllcor having abused his authority,
Chairman Dick said the number nf demer
its given lluotiler on reports of cadets,
127, ns ngnlnst sixty-seven on reports from
olUcers, seems bo greatly out of proportion
to tho other cases on tho list thai ho
thought It needed soma explanation,
Colonel Mills said Huetzlcr was n very
careless mnn nnd that the vnrlous reports
would show thin. This witness said he
had HiK'tzlcr up before him frequently
Ho did not think Huotzler had been tin
fairly treated.
Tho witness said that a report of tho In
julry which ga'vo an Interview with him
is printed In u Now York paper on Do
:embcr J, 1900, wns Incorrect nnd cast n
reliction on him nb superintendent of tho
icndemy. At the conclusion of tho colonel's
testimony court adjourned until Monday
nornlng.

, Cntnrrh.
Tho popular idea that tho only euro for
chronic catarrh Is a chango of cllmato Is a
mlstako because catarrh Is found In nil clt
mates In all soctlons of the country; and
even If a chango of cllmato should benefit
for a time, tho catarrh will certainly re
turn,
Catarrh may bo readily cured In any
cllmato, but tho only way to do It Is to
destroy or romovo from tho system tho ca
tarrhal germs which cause all tho mis
chief.
Tho treatment by tnhalors, sprays, pow
ders aud washes has bcon proven almost
useless In making a permnncnt cure, ns
they do not reach tho scat of dseasc, which
Is In the blood and can bo reached only by
An Internal remedy which nets through tho
stomach upon tho blood and system goner
Ally.
A now discovery which Is meeting with
romarknblo succcsb In curing catarrh of
the head, throat and bronchial tubes and
also catarrh of tho stomach, Is sold by
druggists under tho nnmo of Stuart'a Ca
tarrh Tabids,
These tablets, which are pleasant ond
harmless to take, owo their efficiency to tho
active modlclnal principles of Illood Hoot
Ktd Gum and a new specific called Oualacol
which togothor with vnluablo antiseptics aro
combined In convenient, pnlatablo table
form, nnd as vnluablo for children as for
adults.
Mr. A. It. Fornbank of Columbus, Ohio
cays: I suffered bo many winters from Ca
tarrh that I took It Is n matter of course.
and that nothing could curo It except a
chango of cllmato, which my business af
fairs would not permit mo to take.
My nostrils wero almost always clogged
up, I had to breatho through tho mouth
causing nn Inflamed, Irritated throat. The
thought of eating breakfast often nauseated
mo and the catarrh gradually getting Into
ray stomncb took nway my nppetlto and
digestion.
My druggist advised mo to try n fifty cent
box of Stuart'a Catarrh Tablets, bocnuso ho
said ho had so many customers who had
boon cured of Catarrh by the uso of these
tablets, that ho felt he could honestly rcc
omracud them. I took his advice nnd UBod
several boxes with results that surprised
and delighted me.
I nlways koep n box of Btunrt's Catarrh
Tablets In tho houso and tho wholo family
use thein freely ou the first appearance of
a rough or cold In the bead.
With our children we think thero Is uoth
log so safe and reliable as Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets to ward off croup and colds and
with older peoplo I hnve known of cases
where the hearing had been seriously Ini
paired by chronic catarrh cured entirely by

PAIUS, Jan. 12. (Now York World Ca

Is going tho rounds of the cities concern
ing an Intelligent horso belonging to Ilaron
Ilcno Lallevlllo. Tho baron Is ono of the
heaviest drinkers In 1'arls clubland. Ho Is
said to bo eclipsed by only ono man la
'oris. Tho latter la Lallovlllo's newly ar
rived coachman, who never has been sober
long enough to learn Paris streets. A
week ago several of his clubmatcs asked
the baron how he found his way homo
nlgbta. Ho replied that his horso knew
Parts from end to end and that ho only
needed to say where he wanted to go. His
henrers being Incredulous, tho baron of
fered to wager anyono 10,000 francs. TUreo
men took tho bet.
In front of tho club was found Lallovlllo's
brougham, with tho coachman asleep.
Good evening, Nclllo," said tho baron.
Tho horso looked around ns though re
turning a greeting.
"Maxims, If you please, Maxims; only
around tho corner "
Nelllo halted before Maxim's door, tho
oachman still sleeping. Alighting, tho
bettors Insisted that It wns a trick, and
that tho ronchman was shamming sleep.
"Then whisper to Nelllo whoro you wnnt
o go," said I.alluvllle. ono whispered in
the animal's ear, "Moulin llougo." Off went
Nclllo toward Mont Mnrtrc. Half way
(hero tho men, partially satisfied, woke tho
coachman nnd told him to stop. Another
got out and told the horso to go to Cnfo
Sunt Lazore, so quietly that tho coachman
beard nothing, 'Hound turned Nclllo, stop
ping n mlnuto later In tho courtynrd of
tho rallwny station. Perfectly satisfied, the
men roturncd to tho club, paid tholr bets
nnd offered enormous sums for tho horso.
Tho baron said ho would not sell her for
.000 louls. Ho had bought tho animal
from a deaf coachman who always pro-
ended to bo nblo to near, relying on Ncl-
o to never make n mistake, and sho never
did.

PARIS, Jan. 12. (Now York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) Hurglars ef
fected an ontranco to the ground floor npart
mcnt No. 6 Hue Volney, occupied by God
frey Kopp, a rich nnd famous art collector.
Two blcyclo policemen riding through tha
trect, which Is only ono block long, had
tholr suspicions aroused by seeing a man
tandlng nt each end of tho street. De
fending from their wheels they walked
lowly and noiselessly back, carefully ex-
mining tho doors. That nt No. 6 was
lightly ajar. Scarcely hud they paused
when tho door wns drawn gently open
from Inside and a man stepped out. They
grabbed him, threw n cape over his head
nd whistled. Threo policemen arrived Im
mediately.
Dnterlng the rourtyurd they discovered
tho dcor to tho Kopp apartment open. In
side, hiding under tho furniture, they found
ono burglur. Another escaped through n
rear window. Wrapped In u vnllso lying on
ho floor was n largo canvas, Just cut from
Its frame. Another, half detached, hung
from a frame.
Kopp returned from London today. He
said that tho burglurs evidently know tbelr
business, ns they first devoted their ntten
tlon to infinitely tho most valuable picture
In his collection. Indeed, It Is believed
that tho American newspapers are probably
accidentally responsible for the attempted
theft, for the plcturo cut from tho frame
was tho ono recently variously described as
having been bought by W. C. Whitney,
Clarence Mackay and other American mil
lionaires. It wns Titian's "Danae," or
Gold Shower," n superb canvas two yards
wldo nnd four and ono-hnlf feet high. H
formerly belonged to tho Duko Modcnn, who
took tho painting to Spain, where Kopp pur
chased It. Stanford Whlto, n New York
architect, wns reported six months ago In
tho Paris dispatches to havo bought tha
painting for W. C. Whitney. Other rumors
cltod Clnrenco Mnckny as tho purchnser.
These stories, finding echoes In tho Paris
pnpors, tho plcturo became tho subject of
prolonged discussion. In which Its valuo wns
reported as 5100,000. This probably Incited
tho cupidity of thieves.

Tho play wns In Yiddish and the audience,
comprising for tho most part women and
children, wub composed of Hebrews. The
play W83 nearly over when tho cry which
caused tho panic wns raised nnd within five
seconds after It rang through the hall tho
entire audleuco was converted Into a fran
tic mob, every member of which was fight
ing for safety. Tho hall Is frequently used
for dances nnd when a theatrical perform
ance Is given chairs aro set for the spec
tators. As eoon ns the wild rush toward
tho doors began chairs were knocked down
In every direction tho aisles disappeared
and the excited people; ran, climbed and
stumbled over the chairs In their way to
ward the doors.
Children Thrown Over the llnlcoiiy.
Around tho uppor part of the hall ex
tonds a balcony which Is open only at ono
end. Hero wero seated 100 women aud
children nnd tho women at tho farther end
of tho balcony, away from tho stnlrwuy,
seeing that the rush toward tho exit wui
blocked to them, began at onco t- throw
tho little ones over the railing to the tloor,
ten fcot below. Tho children fell Into tho
midst of tho maddened throng nnd were at
onco trampled under foot. It Is known that
threo of tho dead wero children who wero
thrown from tho balcony nnd woro
trampled by tho crowd, with not a chance
for their lives. Following the children
many of tho women xprang from tho bal
cony upon tho crowd below nnd others,
swinging over, hung by their hands beforo
they dropped. The railing of tho balcony
was broken through In hulf a dozen places
by tho pressure brought against It by tho
mnddened crowd.
On tho main floor tho crush was much
worse than In tho balcony. Tho main exits
from tho hall, and tho only onus known to
a majority of thoso who frcquont tho place,
aro two doors In the south end of tho main
auditorium that open upon winding stairs,
which, eight steps down, unite Into ono
broader flight.
Within tlvo minutes after tho beginning
of tho panic It was all over aud tho police
nnd flremon who came hurrying tolho sceno
of tho disaster were called upon to do noth
ing beyond carrying away tho dead nnd In
jured nnd keeping back tho thousands who
tried to force their way Into tho building.
As soon nn the news of tho panic had
sprend throughout tho district, which
scorned but n very few minutes, all tho
Hobrows from that part of tho city rushed
to tho placo, bent upon learning tho names
of tho doad nnd wounded. Men and women
fought desperately with tho ofTlccrs In tholr
efforts to enter tho building and learn If
any of their loved ones wero among tho
dead. Tho crowd was so great, so excited
and so uumanagcablo that scvornl calls wero
scut for additional onicers and flremon
boforo It could be restrained.
Tho alarm of flro was due to a defectlvo
furnaco which at times allows sparks to
pats up through tho registers. It was tho
sight of theBO sparks rising Into tho room
that frightened the man who raised tho
cry of fire.
The hall has sovernl times been the sceno
of panics and It Is on If n few months slnco
a number of children wero hurt In a rush
for tho doors nt a Juvenile party.
