WANTED EXAMINATION PAPERS
\ Daring Attempt at burglary at the
New York Capitol

ALBANY. June IA daring ATTEMPT to
steal examination papers Of the Board Of
Regents in the State Capitol, has been
disclosed. This attempt was made on
Friday night. May 81 at midnight. but it
was unsuccessful, owing 20 its being dis
covered by an alert Waterman No dis
closure was made about the affair until
yesterday. in the hope that the burglar
could be detected IL nothing was said
about his action. The officials Of the
State Board of Regents had stored in
their meetfng-roon, in the southwest tow
CT of the Capitol, several tons of exami-
nation papers They comprised examina-
ton papers for those desiring to practice
medicine. dentistry, and veterinary sur
gerry, those wishing TO be public account
ants, and all the academic school exaEai-
nation papers used in the high schools
and academies Of the State These papers
were to be used in examinations all over
the State, which begin on June Il and ex-
tend to June z. There were seventy-two
different subjects treated of in them. The
theft of any Of the papers would have ex-
cited such distrust that II would have
been necessary for the board of regents
to have prepared new sets Of examination
papers This could not nave been done, il
is estimated, at a cost less than $50 90
For these papers the Board OF Regents
has printing Office of its own IN the Cap
itol, to which access Is not obtaipabIe ex-
cept by persons holding the proper Gre
dentiaIs. This precaution was taken in
view of apparent efforts several years ago
to obtain copies of the examination pa
peTs- Not only are the examination pa
pers carefully guarded while they are be
ing printed, but they are also put In the
care Of wEtchmen night and day after
they are printed. and lastly they are put
in steel safes and sent by express from

On Friday night, May 81. the examina-
ton papers were in the special care Of
Lyman Hurd, mail clerk of the Board Of
Regents, who put up a bed for himself

which the examination papers were
stored About midnight Mr. HuTd was
