'Midshipman, Acquitted of One
; Charge, Faces Second. .
NEVADA BOY IS DISMISSED
Trial of Marzonl Brings OutExist
; cncc of Fagging: System at the
?aval Academy, and Plan
of Defense of Seniors.
AXNAPOLJS. Md., Jan. 6. The-developments
today at the Naval Academy were
Important. Stephen Decatur, Jr., the first
of the members of the first class to be
put on trial, was' declared acquitted and
restored to duty, but was re-arrested
shortly after, and will be tried under oth
er charges of hazing under the act of 1S74,
and of encpuraging .or countenancing haz
ing under the act of 3303. It is authorita
tively stated that he will fight these
charges.
Announcement was made unofficially
that midshipman Trenmor Coffin, Jr., of
the ihltd class from Carson City, Ncv.,
has been convicted of hazing and dis
missed. During the tr'al of Midshipman Marzonl.
it developed that a fagging system exists
at the academy, under classmen being ex
pected to bring food from the breakfast
table to upper classmen when they miss
the formation.
Senior Fags Senior. ,
It was also made dear that, since the
hazing Investigation began, upper-classmen
have been subjecting each other to
the practices generally" visited on fourth
classmen, so as to be able to testify that
qertain things were not done to under
classmen only, and, consequently, do not
constitute hazing. An intimation of this
had been gained by previous testimony,
"but it remained for Midshipman R. W.
Cabannass, a first classman from Bir
mingham, Ala., finally to let the cat out
o.f the bag. when h.c stated that since the
sessions of the court of inquiry began the
first-class midshipmen and others at his
table had been required to report dessert.
This was only required of the fourth
classmen up to a few weeks ago.
The trial of Midshipman Petersen B.
Marzonl, before the court-martial assem
bled at the Naval Academy, was resumed,
and Marzonl pleaded not guilty to the
charge and all of the specifications which
support IU Of these, the first alleges the
hazing of Midshipman Chester S. Roberts,
of Jollet, III., and the second and third
the hazing of Benjamin W. Tyc, of At
lanta, Ga. The men arc of the fourth
class, and the hazing alleged is that Mar
zonl compelled them to carry his meals
to hU room and to perform various forms
of physical exercise.
3Iiddy in n Closet.
The prosecution's first witnoss was Ches
ter S. Roberts, upon whose alleged haz
ing the first specification is based. He
said :
"At supper formation, about a month or
two ago, some one came up behind me (I
"believe it was Mr. Decatur), and told me
to go to Marzonl's room. I did not know
Marzonl, but went to. the room, and some
body told me to go to the closet. I went
to the closet, and did the 16' for a few
minutes. I did not see the person who
told me to go in the closet or who' told
me to do the '16.' J did seo Mr. Marzonl
when he told me to come out. ' The room
was No. 98, In Bancroft Hall." "
Roberts said that he did not see Marzonl
In the room when he went in, but did
when he went out. Benson, .a- fourth
classman, was in the cloct with the wit
ness, he said. .
Midshipman Howard J. Benson, a "fourth
classman, was the next witness. He cor
roborated Roberts.
Lieutenant-Commander B. C. Dicker,
IT. S. X.. of the Department of Discipline,
at the Academy, said he knew of no au
thority which gave a midshipman a right
to make another stand on his head or do
any, physical exercise.
Tye JLIkcd to Serve.
Fourth-Classman Benjamin W. Tyc was
then called. He said that he had brought
Marzbni's breakfast to him. '".I did-not
mind' It a bit," he said. I
Midshipman Albert C." Bryant testifl6d-t
that on one occasion he had been told oy
Marzonl to bring him a- glass of milk.
Bryant said he had carried., articles ilke
butter and rolls or a glass of milk :to
MarzonL's room, but this he did as a cour
tesy, not under compulsion.
At the opening of the afternoon session
Midshipman "Marzonl was called to the
stand by his counsel. He absolutely de
nied that he had hazed Roberts or ever
knew him. He paid that Tye had brought
him food by request. Bryant had also
brought him food, a glass of milk, under
the same circumstances-as In Tye'-s case.
Upper classmen, ho said, had often done
the same tiling, and there had been no
difference in the circumstances under
which they had been done.
Marzonl was asked in regard to the
bringing of breakfast to .his room bv
"plcbes" Tye and Bryant. He said that
both boys were from the same section of
the country as himself, and that it was
the custom among Southern midshipmen
to be on a friendlier footing than others.
He had requested the youths, not ordered
them, to bring his breakfast when he
was not down, and they had done so.
Marzonl "Was Careless.
Marzonl was followed on the stand by
Charles A. Woodruff, his roommate, who
said that Marzonl was careless In regard
to the small breaches of the regulations
but nev?r committed any grave offenses
and that he enjoyed a good reputation
among his fellQws. which was also testi
fied to by Midshipmen McCann and New
ton, first classmen.
Russell Wilson, of Wyoming, a first
classman, said that he had often "butted
In" on hazing when he was a fourth
classman, because he enjoyed "doing the
stunts."
George W. Simpson, a second classman,
said that he had often brought rolls and
milk to Marzonl. and had done it as a
matter of compulsion.
First classman Edward Moses had done
the same thing. He said, tot, that with a
few days' practice he had stood on his
head IK) times successively, and he had
felt no bad effect.
John Dixon, of Fayetteville. Ala.. " a.
member of the second class, said that he
took particular interest in fourth class
roan Bryant, and that he -considered Mar
zonl was very nice to Bryant also.
The last witness was Benjamin F. Til
ley, formerly a classmate of Marzonl, but
now a member of the fourth class. He
said that when he was Marzonl's class
mate he had brought the latter food at
breakfast time. He also said that the
accused was" liked by members of the
fourth class.

NO CHARGE AGAINST GRAVES
Spokane Middy Under Fire as Room
mate of Decatur.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 6. (Spcclal.)
Senators Ankeny and Piles today sent
their secretaries. Messrs. Sutler and Tay
lor, to Annapolis to inquire Into reports
of the arrest of Midshipman Carroll
Graves, who. was appointed to the Naval
Ac4iy frewr Sp)kaH by Senater Tur
ner Just before that gentleman went out
of public life.
Messrs. Taylor and 'Sutter interviewed
several of the officers in charge of the
cadcU. and upon their return to -Washington
Informed their chiefs that Admiral
Sands had said that Graves had not been
arrested and he could not say whether
or not ho would be put on trial lor haz
ing. It appeared to the representatives of the
Washington Senators that Graves chief
offense lay In 'the fact that he was De
catur's room-mate and that he has been
under consunt fire since the latter'a ar
rest. On behalf of the Senators. Graves
was told that they .would see that no in
justice was done him, to which he replied
with thanks and the manly sUtemcrit
that his case was entirely In the hands
of the Academy authorities, but that-he
might ask for the employment of special
counsel to defend him Jn the event of his
arrest.
FIGHT FOR WATER FRONT
Southern Paclf(c Trying to Shut Out'
the "Western Pacific
OAKLAND. Cal.. Jan. 6. (Special.) The
fight between the Western Pacific and
Southern Pacific Railways over the ter
minal facilities sought to be obuined by
the former on the Oakland wafer front is
now on in earnest. Condemnation pro
ceedings were. filed at noon, today by the'
Western Pacific against the Southern Pa
cific railroad, the "Southern Pacific Com-'
CHARBE S MURDER

Rassman the Accused.
BOTH IN THE CITY- JAIL
Detectives Confident Tbcr HavcEvi
dencc to Convict Them of the
Slaying of Thomas Flcmailngs
andIIold-Up of Saloon.
Confined in the city jail on charges of
murder "Tattoo" Kelly and "Hiney"
Rassman, a 17-year-old boy, havo circum
stantial evidence piled up against them
upon which Detectives Kerrigan and Snow
say they can obtain a conviction.
Kerrigan and Snow, who have been
untlrintr since the murder of Thomas
Flemmlngs at the Centennial Hotel when
pany, the Central Pacific Railway Com
pany, the Central Trust Company, the
BqulUble Trust Company, John Doe and
Richard Roe, for a right of 'way across
the Southern Pacjfic freight yards In West
Oakland.
The strip sought Is' 100 feet wide and Is
stated to be Intended for parallel tracks
of the Western Pacific. The point aimed
at in the estuary as a terminal and ferry
landing for Aha Western Pacific is about
10D yards cast of the present -freight slip
of the Southern Pacific,- 'known as the
eralu-strect slip.
The voluminous complaint filed today al
leges that officials of the Western Pa
cific used every effort to arrive at an
amicable understanding with the officials
of the Southern Pacific with regard to the
places and compensation for crossings,
but that their endeavors have been futile.
The complaint further sUtes that the
right of way sought by the Western -Pacific
will work no material Injury to the
Southern Pacific
The order was given late yesterday by
the off iclals of the Southern Pacific Com
pany to make all arrangements for the
construction of a line of sheds running
clear along the Oakland water front from
PcralU street to the end of the broad
gauge Oakland Mole. There are sheds and
shops along the" land roniing on. the bay,
but spaces remain to be filled up where
the Western Pacific Company might find
a right of way to the bay for an exten
sion of its tracks out to deep water.
These breaks are to be filksd with sheds,
which arc according to the deep-laid
plan of the Southern Pacific Company to
be given the semblance of shop and store
houses fronting on Its tracks. Once
erected and in use the company thinks
iu powerful rival could not condemn or
acquire a right of way through them for
the tracks to deep water.
Another move was made at the same
time, which also betrays the jchcme of
the Southern Pacific to plac every ob
sUcle in the way of the new competing
transcontinental line and flmuHHneously
to make effective the grab of the Inval
uable water front property which is owned
by the sUte. butclalmed by the railroad.
This latter trick contemplates the main
tenance of dredging machines In the ter
ritory lying between the north training
wall of the Oakland estuary and the Oak
land Mole and as far out in the bay as
the pierhead line established by the
United States Government.
The pier's headline runs along the west
erly ends of the existing ferry depoU and
tho westerly end of the estuary restrain
ing walls.
FERRIS COURTS INQUIRY
Says Probing of Louisiana Fair Rec
ords "Will Prove Integrity.
ST. LOUIS. Jan. 6.i-SpecIal.) Ex
Judge Franklin Ferris, general counsel
for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
discussed the reported Investigation of
the World's Fair in Congress, In the ab
sence of President Francis.
"Any investigation by Congress," de
clared Judge Ferris, "cannot but help
reflect credit upon the World's Fair direc
tors. I hope they do start Congressional
investigation. It will show how well the
fair really was managed. I have never
seen a copy of the -report of Senator Car
ter, but it is my belief he makes no di
rect charges. I am Informed he simply
reports to Congress the charges of others.
"The charge that the fair company did
not get the best possible price for fair
salvage has been denied time and time
again. The charge Is false. The Chicago
House Wrecking. Company was away the
highest bidder. Why, do -you know, one
contractor offered to wreck eight of the
exhibit buildings7 for nothing. Just think
of that. This man would not give one
cent for the material In eUjht of the
largest buildings on the ground."

highwaymen robbed the till and shot two
men, returned, from Tacoma yesterday
morning with "Hiney" Rassman in cus
tody. He had been captured by the
Tacoma police at the request of the local
department. Rassman, who Is ydung In
years, but old in crime. I? not so well
known to the Portland department as. he
is to departments In other cities of the
Northwest. His character Is against him
and other clrcumsUnccs which tho de
tectives have gathered have woven the
boy In a net from which It will be hard
to get him out. Relatives of Rassman,
whose home Is In Tacoma, are expected
to arrive In Portland today to take charge
of his case. Legal counsel was obuined
for both Kelly and Rassman Friday, as
soon as it was known that they would
be charged with murder In the first de
gree AttorneyWatts will act for the
two young men.
Rassman Is experiencing his first time
In a Jair In Portland, but Kelly is in
durance for the second time. Two nights
after the murder of Flemmlngs. Kelly was
arrested on suspicion, but was turned
loose because J. A. Whltten. proprietor,
and. others who were In the barroom,
could not positively Identify him. The
only suspicious circumsUnce against
Kelly at the time was that a revolver
was found In his room that he admitted
having bought the afternoon before the
murder. Since then It has-been learned
that he changed $25 In half-dollar pieces
for gold, and also had $70 In gold on his
person. Twenty-five dollars In half-dollars
was stolen from the hotel bar. It
has also been learned that tho afternoon
of the holdup Kelly did not have any
money to speak of. Kelly Is the one who
Is supposed to' have done the shooting
while Rassman robbed the till of 3125.
Detectives Kerrigan and Snow are posi
tive that they have captured the right
men. although neither of them will give
information of the most damaging evi
dence they havo gathered. Chief GriU
macher Is also unwilling to make any
definite statement besides the fact that
he believes Kerrigan and Snow have capr
tured the right men.
Kelly and Rassman are confined In cells
separated from all other prisoners.
Neither will make a sUtemcnt. although
detectives have endeavored to make them.
"What do you think I am." said Rass
man yesterday, when asked to make a
statement. "Fm not going to say any
thing to you fellows that will go against
me.".

" 'Don't trifle with a cold.' Is good ad

remodeled and refitted so as to cater
especially to the tastes of its future
