Church Bill Passes To Allow West Point Worship Houses
In Washington on June 30 the House passed a bill granting the secretary of war power to permit any church or religious sect to erect a house of worship on the West Point military reservation. The measure, backed by Catholic interests, sparked debate over potential bias and a possible clash among churches for control of worship at West Point. Rep. Hull supported it while Rep. Bromwell contended the bill targets Catholics, and Rep. Cannon argued it does not discriminate against Methodists or others.

Punishment by fastening two boys back to back
