BRANCH CASE DISCUSSED
Senate Bill, With House Substitute,
Passed—Debate on Subject Proved
Very Interesting—Cadet Officers
Must Report Rule Infractions.
WASHINGTON, March 24.—Hazing
at. the Annapolis Naval Academy war,
dealt with by the house today in the
passage of a senate bill with a house
substitute. The action was taken
after a protracted debate, which plac
ed In the Record the impressions of
the special committee which Investi
gated the subject recently and a se
vere criticism of efforls to condone
hazing, by Mr. Hepburn, of lowa.
Several amendments were proposed
to the measure, but all were rejected
save one, making It the duty of cadet
officers to report infractions of tue
rules as well as other academy offi
cers.
The bill repeals that portion of ex
isting law which makes It compulsory
to dismiss midshipmen guilty of haz
ing In any degree, and substitutes
punishment according to the nature
of the offense. Cruel and brutal haz
ing may be punished by dismissal.
When the hazing bill was taken up,
Mr. Rixey, of Virginia, proposed a
substitute, and Mr. Vreeland, of New
York, chairman of the special com
mittee on hazing, took the floor to de
tail his Impressions resulting from
the Inquiry. He reviewed the pre
liminary trouble between Midship
man Meriwether and Branch, ieadlug

death of Branch. Branch, he said,

MAKES BAD BREAKING
Made Ugly Reference to Character of Witness for Defense in
Greene and Gaynor Trial, But Afterward Apologized.
SAVANNAH, Oa., March 24.—Upon
adjniunlng the Federal court todav
until Monday In the Greene and Gay
nor case, Judge Speer Inquired of
! counsel for the defense how many
more witnesses they had to Introduce.
"Eight or ten more,” answered Mr.
Osborne.
“Mr. Erwin, may I ask If you will
have any more?”
"May It please the court, the gov
ernment will not nhnndon Its right to
Introduce more witnesses.”
“The court, lias not asked you to
forego any of your rights," responded
Judge Speer.
"If the defense continues to intro
duce witnesses of the character of
those It has been presenting,” re
sponded the district attorney, “we
will not Introduce any further testi
mony.”
Later the district attorney apolo
gized for this language, saying he
Intended no reflection upon the char
acter of the wltneases, hut was Indl
eating simply that he did not con
sider the testimony that was being
brought out from them from the de
, sense as damaging to the govern
ment's case.
During the cross examination of
Henry'C. Ripley today he was asked
by District Attorney Erwin If In mak
ing the survey for Carter to be re
ported to Carter's court-martial he had
taken Major Glllett's work Into con
sideration. Ho aald he had not, but

with those put In by tlreene and Gay

The witness testimony before Com
missioner Shields In New York waß
read. In this he. admitted the Incor
rectness of calculations about the first
work, but explained that the price of
the plant was not considered. In sub
sequent. calculations the general aver
age of the four years' work was cor
rect, he said.
A foot note on one of the tabulations
was read by the district attorney, who
asked the witness in whose language
It was. The nßte was about the Sa
vannan river work, and was as fol

Atlantic coast and one of the few that
was done Inside the appropriation."
The witness was not certain at first
hut later said he thought It. was his
language.
"Don't, you recognize the style’'*
asked the court.
Major Curtis Townsend, corps of
engineers, 11. S. A., now stationed at
Washington, followed Mr. Ripley on
the stand, and testified that he had
many times advertised for bids on
river and harbor Improvements for
less and thirty days. His usual cus
tom, he said, had been to seud one
copy of specifications and to send
more If the prospective bidder should
then roqulre It. This was what Car
