WASHINGTON LETTER Pros aur Secular OVrrjpsiiloat. Uongressma Gillespie, Tex-. as, has certainly emerged in to the limelight in even more startling fashion than did CorigreKsman LittlefjeM a few years li-ick. The quiet Texas lawyer stirred np a hornets nest (hat even he did not drhin of. when h bum bed thetnquiry about the Pnn syviniu's control of lb mi raerous subsidar.v eastern lines. He says that, now he is in the fight, he intend to follow it to a finish, uud if this threat in made good, there may be even more im portart results from his reso lilt ion of inquiry th.m from the pending rate legislation Or, more properly speaking, the inquiry may do a great deal to force 'he attention of Congress i n the necessity for the very legislation that the President recommended. The reply of the Interstate L'ommerse Commission o the original irquiry as to the ex tent of the Pennsylvania's control over the other coal roads, was just about what might have been expected un der the circumstances No body ever accused the chair man of the commission of be ing an extra strong person ality. None of tbework of the commission in the past de cade has been remarkable, and in this case it did what miuht have been expected, re plied to the resolution by sen ding to Congress merely the facts that were known to ev ern one interested and which bad appeared in the nnnunl report almost a year ago. Mr. Gillespie characterized the reply as an insult to Con gress. It probably was not intended that way hy the commission, but it contain ed just enough of facts as to the practical control of half a dozen "coal "nrrving roads by the Pennsylvania to war rant a thorough investiga tion if one ever was needed in the history of American railroading, It looks now as if the inves tigation were coming and it may have a decided effect on the fate of the Rate Bill in the Semite. Speaker Cannon would rather have the inves tigation made by the Inter state Commerce Com 'mission, or by the .Committee of the House. But it is a certaihtv that an investigation of some sort will now he forced. It may have the effect of most government inquiries a n d end in smoke. But the aver age citizen, who h islieen pay ing almost twice as much for his coal in the past six years as he lid before, and who Hnds himself now threatened with anoihe'r coal strike and famine prices will agree that not only is an investigation needed, but that a remedy is needed at the back of the in vestina.tion It looks as if the Pennsyl vania had succeeded in do ing within the law just what the Supreme Court enjoyed the Great Northern from do ing, and had ffu ted a prae tical merger that was s.mp lv eating into the pocket nor only of the tval coinuwer, but of the retail dealers and of the miners all over the roal producing and coal con snming region of the east, and also into the pO'-kets of everybody that buvs coa I. Mr. Giileppie says'that the roads have levied an unjust tax of $11 0.000.000 on the people of th eastern coun try, mid 1 he man on 11 Hnall salarv who b is seen the mon ev he intruded logatefoi life insiiiaiice go'ng out in addt tioual "jal bil's each ' winter, will agree that there is some thing wrong in the system that needs remedying and the sooner there is a full in- vestigation and a remedy ap plied the better. The more the facts in relation to the coal trust, which is in reality the coal carrying roads are brought to light, the more necessary drastic remedical legislation becomes appar ent. It is likely that other lines besides the Pennsylva nia will be brought into th" inquiry, and the situation developed may do more to biing the Senate to terms o ver the Hepburn rate bill than was surmised when the inquiry was launched. The Navy Department nev er has been enthusiastic over the drastic punishment ofdis missal tb.it is the law in rela tion to hazing. Since the in quiry at Annapolis has de. veloped and shown that the most of the three upper class s are slated for dismisal if the law is enforced, even the Secretary of the Navy has been willing to'hee the stat ute modified, and he is now in conference with a number of prominent congressmen with a view to having a new law passed that will recog nize soui" distinction berween different degrees of hazing. Theie is no question but that hazing is wrong in prin ciple, and that it ought toue eradicated so far as boy na ture will allow, But there is a wide differeene" between bo.yish pranks, that will an noy without seriously hurt ing the vktim, and brutal hazing that seriously inca pacitates its victims. Some rf the prank are no. more se rious than making, a cadet get under the tableduring de sert. Other forms are abso lute brutality and consist, in making the victim stand on his head till he taints, then teyiving him with cold water anl continuing the torture till the subject will not re vive and has to be carried to the hospital by the .first offl cer who happens to find him. An effort is now being made hy Secretary Bonaparte to grade the punishment to fit theciime. It is also suggest d that the President will be asked to intercede and par don the eight cadets who have so far been dismissed from the Academy. But there is a serious question in law whether even-a pardon fiom the President would be suffi cient to reinstate those who hae already' been dismissed, and if they are permanently barred from the Academy, it would seem decided partiali ty to retain any of theothers who haveiieen proven guilty under the pumc law. But there is talk now of suspend ing the hazmg trials alto gether, and allowing the ca lets who aie now nominally 11ml' r arrest to continue the full course at th- Academy without ever bei:,g brought to trial.
