cured by PAYMENT,

New York, Nov. 10.-Frauds in the eS-
animation of applicants for positions on
the police force of this city are alleged to
have been discovered, which may affect

branch of the department
For some months past it has been noted
that men below the average OF Intelligence
had successfully passed the examinations,
while others, their superiors in education,
had failed to obtain the required per
centage in rating
The fact led 10 an investigation, which
showed that many Of those taking the ex-
aninations We're supplied beforeh and with
a list of the questions to be asked them
They are said 10 have paid $500 each forthis
list.
Detectives who were put to work on the
case, discovered that applicants who had
been coached for examination by young
man, who was formerly attached to the
office OF the examining board showed a
marked superiority of intellect over any
OF the others.
This young man was watched, and 1t was
learned that he was not only charging $500
Tor his system OF coaching" but that he
was guaranteeing the men who dealt with
him appointments as policemen
Mer were found who admitted that they
had been coached by his young man.
and that they had agreed to pay large
sums on the day of their appointments. It
is also admitted by the officials at police
headquarters that they received the einforma-
tion that large sums had been paid to this
young man, and that he had delivered q
copy OF the list of questions to the appii-
cants On the night before the day for
examination
How the young man who did the coach
ing" secured a copy Of the list OF questions
is not known, but il is thought he procured
it from an employe cf the printing office
where the list was put in type. No arrest
has been made.
