WASHINGTON. March 24.-Hatlng at the
Annapolis Naval academy was dealt with
by th house today In the passage of a
senate bill with a house substitute. The
action was taken after a protracted debate,
which placed In the record the Impressions
nf the special committee which Investigated
the sublect recently and severe criticism'
of efforts to condone haslng by Mr. Hep
burn of lows. Several amendmenta were
proposed to tho measure, but all were re
jected save one making It the duty of cadet
officers to report Infractions of the mica
na well as other offenses to academy au
thorities. Thu bill repeuls that portion of existing
law which makes It compulsory to dismiss
midshipmen guilty of huzlug In any de
gree and substitute pun:slimeut according
to tho nature of the offense. Cruel and
brutal Inning tuny be punished by dia
mlksal. Previous to the haclng bill considera
tion $33 pension bills were passed.

Mr, Rlxey (Va.) proposed a substitute
and Mr. Vreelund (N. T.), chairman of
the special committee on haling, took the
floor to detail hi lmpiisslons resulting
from the Inquiry.
Mr. Vreeland condemned the present baa
ing law, which lit'- no discretion but to
Janilaa a boy for hating, while ten de-,
writs might be sufficient punishment for
thm particular offense. As to the sentence

Speaking of food a railroad man aays:
' "My work puts me out In all kinds of
weather, subject to Irregular hours for
meals and compelled to eat all kinds ut
food. .
"For seven years 1 was constantly
troubled with Indigestion, caused by eating
heavy, fatty, starchy, givaay, poorly cooked
food, such aa are most accessible to min in
my bush!. Generally each meal or lunch
waa followed by distressing pains and
burning sensations In my stomach, which
destroyed my sleep and almost unfitted me
for work. My brain was so muddy and
foggT that It was hard for me to discharge
my duties properly.
"This lasted till about a year ago, when
my attention waa railed to Grape-Nuts
food by a newspaper ad. and I concluded
tu try it. Bines then I have used Grape
Nuts at ' nearly every meal and some
times between meals. We railroad men
have little chance to prepare our food tn
our cabooses and I find Grape-Nuts
mightly handy for It la ready cooked.
"To make a long story short, Grape-Nuts
lui made a hew man of ms. 1 hve no ra r
burning distress In my stomach, nor uny
other symptom of Indigestion. 1 cau digest

minority report on the bill, . explained his
views. The measure he contended was too
great a modification nf (he present law In
tho direction of leniency. It would, he
said, greatly encourage haslng.
Mr. Smith .(la.) made the observation
that If political Interference with the naval
and military academies should cease the
officers In charge could absolutely abolish
hazing.
A speech by Mr. Hepburn (la.) was a
severe criticism of what he said was a
perversion of the real object of the train
ing. Them) cadets were being prepared at
the expense of the nation to command the
ships and men bf the navy. They were, as
matter of fact, living In constant and
open rebellion of a plain' law of the land,
with which they were more familiar than
with any other.
The result of such a course of training,
he said, was shown by the inefficiency of
naval officers. lie called attention to a list
of twenty-five ships which had met disaster
by bad navigation and added a reference
to the recent mix up in New York harbor.
Yet, he aald, there was no punishment
ever Inflicted on naval officer. They were
tried by their friends and former class
mates. A defense of the cadets was made by Mr.
Padgett (Tenn.), member of the special
haslng committee, who minimised the gen
eral charge as due to the pranks of boys.
Mr. Hepburn secured the adoption of an
amendment requiring cadet officer aa well
as Instructors and naval officers to report
Infractions of the haslng regulations, after
which the bill was passed. The house ad
journed at 4: 3R o'clock.
HKFOHM9 FOR PHIXTIXi Orl'KK
(..arP..H... Iji.dl. lslrod.ee. He.o
lntlon to Correct .4 bases.
WASHINGTON. March 24.-Two Joint
resolutions, designed to correct some of
"the most glaring abuses and Inequalities"
In tho present system of public printing
and binding, were introduced today by
Representative C. K. Landla of Indiana
and were accompanied by a preliminary re
port of the printing investigation commit
tee, explaining the necessity for Immediate
reform.
One resolution provides that public docu
ments and reports printed for congress
may be lxsued In numerous editions, In
steud of one edition, aa la the case at pres
ent and authorises the Joint committee on
printing? to establish rules and regulation
fmm time to time for the guidance of pub
lic prluter 1n the issuance of documents.
This - resolution, the report explains, is
neccsxary to cure the extravagant print
ing of documents which are never distrib
uted. At prune nt the government ha in
storage more than s.UO tona of document,
most of which are said by the commission
to bo obsolete. In addition to this amount
thousand of tona have been sold to deal
ers In Junk. The rapltol basement and all
other available space In public buildings
nre filled with these and in addition the
government is renting warehouses for the
stoiage of document at a coat of $1100 a
year.
The second resolution introduced by Mr
I.andls provide a complete change in the
allotment of the expenditure for printing
and binding, with a view to making heads
of department and chief of bureau re
sponsible for the amounts expended with
their authorisation. In the lost fiscal year
the appropriation for printing and binding
for rongree . and the executive depart
meiita mas $6,1,96. Of thin um $2,745,750
was allotted to the department and $V
Sn.fciS to congress.
i naer this statement congress stands
charged with more money for printing
than was expended In all government de
partments and Independent office. The
report slates that this showing Is abso
lutely erroneous and coaceal one of the
chief cause of department extravagance

vides that the congressional allottment for

number of copies actually furnished to con
gress for distribution. The resolution also
provides that all department heads shall

amount needed shall be specifically set

PIERCE, Neb., March 24.-(Speclal.)
Up to the present time' the different rail
way extensions definitely announced for
South Dakota this year by the Milwau
kee, the Northwestern, the Minneapolis A
St, Louis and the South Dakota Central
will give the state KM miles of new road.
Besjdes these announced extensions, there
are pretty well settled rumors that the
Great Northern will add a few more mil-
to its Dakota lines before the close of the
year, and other projects are expected to
bring th mileage for the year to fully 1.0U0
miles. It is doubtful whether any other
state in the union ever secured that amount
of new railroad mileage within one year,
and the! new country to be developed by
these lines will give the state a boom
which will have the solid foundation to
make it permanent and tasting.

cording to tho la lest rcmrt from the sick
room, antl the Improvement In his con
dition Is officially stated bv his physicians
to l)e definite and encouraging. No as.
suianoe Is given, however, despite the more
hopi ful views entertained by the members
of the governor's family thnt the Improve
ment Is more than temporary. Oovernor
Pattlson's son arrived home from Harvard
today and his father was much cheered by
his presence.
The condition of cieina which developed
In the patient's lungs has subsided ma
terially. His respiration, which yesterday
morning was given as a, tonight had lccn
reduced to 22. the pulse has fallen from
1 to ion and the fever has entirely disap
peared. These favorable symptom, however, have
not entirely dispelled the belief in the pub
lic mind that the governor Is not yet out
of danger. No statement has yet been
made by the physicians as to the nature of
the governor's malady, but the impression
pro ails that he Is suffering from some
form of kidney trouble.

Assistant (ashler of Bremer Bank
Arknnnlnliri Bla Defalcation.
BF.EMKR. Neb.. March 21-(Kpecial Tel
egram.) Assistant Cashier Mead of the
Beenier State bank of Beemer has made
an open confession In writing over his own
signature that a deficiency In the cash
reserves of that bank was due to his de
falcation of the round sum of $S,30O. Fur-ther-iore,
In the same manner he con
fessed that approximately $S.0"0 of this
money had passed Into the hands of a
stranger who represented himself to be a
memlsr of the Chicago Board of Trade
and that the money was taken in small
amounts, an even $100 or some multiple,
thereof, at a time covering a period of
several years. That by a skillful manipu
lation of the totals In the ledger account
of certificates of deposit he had suc
ceeded in hiding this defalcation from
time to time when the bank was under
going examination.
The active officers of the bank became
aware of a mysterious discrepancy In the
reserve of the bank early In January last
following the examination by State Exam
iner Emmett, but felt no particular alarm
as to the actual fact about this sum
appearing to be short, trusting it would
prove nothing more serious than a clerical
error.
Examiner Emmett returned yesterduy to
make sure of the facts, but Mr. Mead cut
matters' short by making a clean breast
of the matter. The directors of the bank
Immediately made good every dollar of the
defalcation, after allowing for some prop
erty belonging to Mr. Mead turned over
to the bank. They" have placed the. young;
man in the hands of the law to be dealt
with according to the necessities of his
case,
Mr. Mead was raised In this community
and his parents aro highly respected peo
ple and the whole community Is deeply
stirred with sympathy for the boy and hi
parents.
