S
ARE DISMISSED
Seven West Point Cadets to
Suffer for Assault on
Rolando Sutton.
RESULT OF RIGID INQUIRY
Taft StornJy Enforces Law in Case of
Portland Boy, Brother of Officer
Who Was Killed In Annap
olis Affray.
"WEST POINT. N. Y, Aug. 19. The
rumors o( suspension and expulsion
heard about the United States Military
Academy for the past two months,
found official confirmation today In a
final order sig-ned by the committee
and approved by the President for the
dismissal of seven cadets. They were
found guilty of hazing Cadet Holando
Sutton, of Portland. Or.
The cade's are John H. Booker, Jr.. of
West Point. Ga.. first class; PJchard -W.
Hooker, Kansas City. Mo,, third class;
E3rt W. Dunmore, Utlca, N. Y., third
class; Chauncey N. Devore, Wheeling.
W. Va, third class; Gordon Le Fevre,
Richmond. Vs., third class; Albert
Crane. Hawarden, Iowa, third class;
Jacob S. Fortner, Dothan, Ala., third
class.
Their dismissal is in accordance with
Military Academy regulations provid
ing that any cadet guilty of hazing
"shall be summarily dismissed from the
Military Academy."
Sutton Would Xot Name Them.
On the morning of June 14 last Cadet
Sutton, of the fourth, or plebe class,
a brother of Lieutenant Sutton, of the
Marine Corps, whose death has been
under investigation by a court of in
quiry, reported sick and was ordered
to the hospital badly bruised and suf
fering great pain. He did not report
for duty again until 23 days later and
his case Immediately became a matter
of concern to the upper classmen, when
It was seen that the authorities in
tended to investigate.
Before the board of investigation Sut
ton proved a most reticent witness. His
testimony has not been given out. but
The gossip has been that, though he
gave a complete narrative of his ad
ventures on the night of June 13. be
professed to have been unable to recog
nize his assailants.
li&st Doubt Is Cleared.
One hundred and fifty seven wit
nesses a large fraction of the total en
rollment of the academy are under
stood to have been commanded to tell
all they knew and, in ways satisfac
tory to Itself, the board learned what
cadets were to blame. The findings
were then forwarded to Washington,
where they were given the closest at
tentlen and twice returned to West
Point for further elucidation. When
the last point of doubt had been
cleared, the War Department, with the
approval of President Taft, took the de
cisive action announced today.
No comment on the affair is made
by officers here, but It Is understood
that they approve heartily of a stiff
front In even trivial cases of horse
play. Since the last delinquents weae
reinstated. It Is believed the cadets
thought hazing was to be more lightly
treated. The oTder of dismissal, there
fore. Is welcomed as wholesome.
Beaten for Beating "Ghost."
The understanding here Is that Sut
ton was "booed" by a sheeted ghost,
and that he defended his personal
dignity and his duty so effectively
that the ghost was glad to take to the
woods. A relief party of "hobgoblins"
then descended on him with tent pegs
and beat him into subjection.
Throughout the Investigation Sutton
stood loyally by his fellow-cadets,
which has won him high popularity.
The dismissed upper-classmen have lit
tle hope of reinstatement, as the Presi
dent is not likely to reverse his deci
sion. What Dismissed Cadets Say.
The seven dismissed cadets left the
reservation tonight after making the fol
lowing statement:
"On the nl?ht of June 13 a large num
ber of cadets had a little celebration.
There was no thought of hazing anyone.
We encountered a cadet sentry. We did
not know it was Sutton, or even that it
was a 'plebe.' He ran after some of the
men and tackled them. There was a
friendly skirmish and the sentry was
hurt.
"As we understand it, there must be a
deliberate or malicious Intent to consti
tute hazing. There was no such inten
tion on our part.
"We were summoned before the court
and each was obliged to convict himself
by his own testimony. That seems a
little hard. Please state, however, that
we have the highest respect and admira
tion for the commandant of cadets and
the court."
SHADOW OS 5inS. SCTTOX'S LIFE
Brother Mysteriously Murdered arid
Slayer Never Was Found.
LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Aug. 19. (Spe
cial.) The findings of the Sutton court
of inquiry are of peculiar Interest in
Los Angeles, for the Lieutenant went
to school here. Mrs. Sutton's friends
here understand her passionate, almost
hysterical, conduct of this navy scan
dal. This Is the second terrible tragedy
of her life. Her brother was murdered
while she lived in Los Angeles under
circumstances fully as mysterious as
the oonditlons surrounding the death of
her son. The brother's death was an
unmistakable murder, and apparently
drove her almost to frenzies of suspi
cion and aocusation.
Mrs. Sutton's brother was Charles
Brandt. He became engaged to a girl
In St. Louis and went east to claim his
bride. Opposition to the marriage was
raised by some members of her fam
ily. One night young Brandt went
out to mall a letter. Just as he was
slipping it into the postboz he was shot
in the back and killed.
The family made almost as frantlo
efforts at that time to uncover the
mystery of his death as in the case of
Lieutenant Sutton, but no clew was
found.
One of the daughters has been vlsit
Ing in Los Angeles lately to escape the
public gaze in Portland.
POPE IS SORRY FOR ELIOT
Head of Catholic Church May Reply
lo American Scholar.
CHICAGO. vug. 19. A special from
Rome to the Tribune says:
The address delivered by Professor
Charles Eliot before the Harvard Sum-
tnp S.'hnnl hsi hpun t rn n Klntpri bv the ,
Pope's order, that he might thoroughly
comprehend it. The translation was
read with great care by his holiness,
who expresses profound regret that a
man of such authority and culture as
Lr. Eliot should spread such theories
that, he said, are not in fact the basis
of a new religion of the future, but a
negation of the faith and principles
which are the foundation of Christian
ity and modern civilization.
The Pope is reported to have said
It would be easy to refute and destroy
Mr. Eliot's argument. and - highly
praised Archbishop 'Ryan, of Philadel
phia; Bishop McPhaul. of Trenton, and
other American eccleslasta who hasten
ed to defend their church and faith.
It Is believed that a semi-official re
ply to lr. Eliot's address on the lines
suggested by the Pope himself will ap
pear In the Civitta Cattolica. the most
representative Catholic magazine.
FARLEY SCOFFS AT DR ELIOT
Says His "New Religion" Ridiculous
and That Idea Absurd.
CHICAGO, Aug. 19. A special from
Queenstown to the Record-Herald says:
Aroh bishop Farley of New York left
Queenstown yesterday on his way
home. Cardinal Logue came to
Queenstown from Armagh, especially to
see Archbishop Farley off. as did sev
eral other Irish bishops. His attention
was directed to the recent statement of
Dr. Eliot, regarding what the coming
religion was to consist of.
"It's too absurd for anything, said
the Archbishop. "There never was a
religion of that kind. There is no
philosophy that does not contemplate
the supernatural. This man thinks
that America la going to do in the
twentieth century what will never be
done a thing too preposterous and he
has no more authority to talk upon a
matter of that kind than you have. He
is a layman, but has got an Idea that
he knows everything. I suppose. But
no, that's too absurd."

NORTHERN PACIFIC MAY USE
SOUTH BANK OF SNAKE.
Lewiston Learns of Renewed Activ
ity in Railroad Circles in
Contested Territory.
LEWISTON. Idaho. Aug. 19. (Special.)
The purchase of the Snake River line
from Rlparla to Pasco by the Northern
Pacific Is regarded here as indicative of
a decision on the part of the Northern
Pacific to build an independent line from
Lewiston to Rlparla on the south bank
of the Snake River.
The Rlparia-Pasco line was constructed
by the Spokane. Portland & Seattle Road
to effect connection with the Joint line
to be operated by the Hill Interests be
tween Rlparla and Grangevllle, The Joint
operation plans have not been realized
"and for the past year the Interests have
been parleying.
The view Is entertained in railroad cir
cles that the Spokane, Portland & Seattle
connection at Rlparla was satisfactory
to the Northern Pacific as long as the
Joint operation was prospective, but when
a question of constructing an Independ
ent line from Lewiston to Rlparla was
involved, the Northern Pacific did not
care to be dependent upon an only outlet
over a strictly Hill road when every in
dication points to a sacrifice of the
Northern Pacific interests to the advan
tage of the Great Northern and North
Bank roads. The Riparla-Pasoo lino was
entirely worthless to the North Bank
without a connection up the river, but
would form the connecting link for the
Northern Pacific direct line from Mis
soula to Portland or Seattle.
The construction work on the Missoula
cutoff from Missoula to Kooskla has al
ready been Inaugurated and the North
ern Pacific already owns the right of
way on the south bank of the Snake
River from Lewiston to Rlparla. A re
cent suit of ejectment filed by the North
ern Pacific Indicates an Intention of
clearing the title to the bridge site across
the Snake River at Lewiston and has
given rise to the rumors that activity on
the south bank may be expected at any
time.
RECORD TRIP WITH JAPS
