There are two charges against Mil ler, bating and eacouraglag or coun tenancing basing, and eight specifi cations. ' However,: there Is only one incident as a basis for ail the speci fications.- It la alleged that Miller based SUaley R. Cala. of Uaao, Texas; Henry O. Cooper, Jr., of Ox ford N. C.;.Mai B. Demott, of Mies, Mich.',' and John F. Donelaon, of Pawnee, Okla., b compelling them to perform "number . 16" together. Miller, if he Is accquilted. will gradu ate On the twelfth of next month, and bis scholarly standing will not be below No. 3 in the class of over a hundred. 1 On being arraigned Mldshlpihan Mil ler stated th?t he wished to plead through his counsel, and Colonel Lauch helmer then lnterooscd n demurrer on the ground that-the facts alleged un der the charge do not constitute a his Ing. v The court ruled adverst-iy to this con tention. Mldshlumun Miller tlt-m pleud not guilty to the vlmrges and epecllicutlons. The llrst witness for the prosecution was Midshipman Max B. Demott of the fourth class. He ald that he had been In Miller's room one night, he having been told to go there. Imitating an au tomobile with Canine, Cooper and Don elaon. Canine' was 'the headlight, Cooper the Chauffeur, and Donelwrn the horn and Demott the exhaust. "Cooper was supposed to twut uoneison s ear to stop, but he fell down and we went ; around the room -several times. Miller then told us to do 'the sixteenth' andAwe did it. Then he told us to ao and re port "to Boyd's room at 9:30; several times after that we were In-his room and had to do the 'sixteenth." " The flrst hazing, he said, took placo shortly af ter the West Point, gamej December 2, 1805. ' ' Midshipman Henry O. Cooper fol lowed Demott on the stand. He repeat ed the Etory about the automobile, and said that thev had been ordered by Midshipman Roberts to ro to Miller's room.- He said that they went there and after going around the room sev eral -times, Miller had to'd them to do the "sixteenth" and they did It between fifty or- one hundred tlmcs.

Cooper said that he did not believe the basing had any thing to do with hjs Illness. . - , 1 Midshipman Stanley R. Canine, fourth class, corroborated the testimony of the two previous .witnesses. He sild that he .had been the hiadlight of the hu man automobilo and that theV had been sent by Itobcrts to Ml'.lcr's room." His story of the hazing corresponded ex actly with the . testimony pf the other witnesses." He estimated tHe number of times that he did tho "sixteenth" as ninety, ' , '( ' ,", Mldshlptnan - J."

Secretary of the State ference with Secretary of the North Carolina Audubon Society, T. Gilbert Pearson, returning to Harrisburg last night. , Dr. Kalbfor said North Carolina was taking the right step In the begin ning a stoppage of the drain upon its game. He said that the northern and western States were getting all their foreign shipments In spite of the law prohibiting It, from North Carolina and Virginia, and more attention should be paid to enforcing these laws, as had been done in other States. . Besides protecting,., many States are buying live birds In other States and turning them loose for propagating purposes. Pennsylvania's last legisla ture appropriated $6,000 for the pur chase of partridges alone, and these live birds are being bought by special permission lh Alabama at $9.00 per doien. The annuat appropriation for game protection in Pennsylvania is $390,000. Dr. Kalbfor says that with more -tnoney for . Its enforcement .the game law of North Carolina-la a model. The organisation and ' work of 1 the ' State Audubon Society In this State, he add ed, 1 attracting attention all over the union and other States are using it as a pattern, , ' .

Mr!vr and adopted by tha society, that land own er who hav lands for ante and want colon Ire of Industrious people to eet ll would give a limited number ef acres, eay ten to a settler, with the agreement that later the party art tllng thereon buy additional lands, the purchase price to a'tlmately provide a fair prk-e for ths whole tract.

' Another advantage of thia plan would be that the small holding of tea would nrfbte'tba: tana owner to a part of th time of the settler for work In his crops. , Mr. Bruner says that quite a number of peopto listed lands under the condi tions of the Greensboro meeting, and the Department of Agriculture Invites citizens of the State at large to list lands they may have for sale, so that they may be offered to desirable set tlers under these terms. All lands so listed will be Included in advertising matter that will be sent out by the department to Inquirers without the State. Mr- Bruner says it Is now clearly demonstrated that dependence on Ellis Island, New York, for securing Immi grants is utterly futile, therefore, self help Is the only salvation In attracting desirable Immigrants to North Caro lina. Mr. Brunei- is pleased with the plan to have a trans-Atlantic steamship make a landing once a month, or once In two months, at possibly Norfolk, with Immigrants who could from there be easily Induced to settle In this sec tion, agents in Europe to advertise such transportation and special landing ar rangements distribute the literature of each section at interest impartially, the agents to book the passengers and noti fy each party at Interest of the number consigned to It by cable the day of sail ing, so that the agencies may be at the port of entry to receive and distribute the peonle. Mr. Bruner says the cost of this ef fort would fall lightly on all the par ties. These would be the salary of an agent abroad, the cost of transporta tion and publication of Illustrated lit erature, the extra expense, it any, for having the steamer land at Norfolk first, the advertising of the sailing of the ships, the expense of distributing the immigrants. . And here again each Interest would look out for Its own, as each would largely furnish' Its f.own illustrated literature for distribu tion. - , ... Assurances are already made that it such an arrangement Is made officers of the government would be present to dlsoharge all receivable Immigrants promptly. .-,. !.., . Mr. Bruner appeals to tha people of the State generally who are interested to follow the lead of the Greensboro, movement organise an. immigration society, or act through the Chamber-of Commerce. He says Wilmington at ready has a well organised and efteot- Iva agency lb the Carolina Trucking Development Cqmpany,: which will do this work well, for the. region, - but Raleigh, Qoldsboro, .
