Statue of Liberty Grafters

If the visitors who paid good money to a
soldier for the privilege of climbing up the
steps of the statue of Liberty had only known
about the sxtysecond article of war they
never would have graduated from the dead
head class on a reservation belonging to Uncle
Sam, the New York Herald says AS II is

partment two soldiers who levied tribute are
doomed to penal servtude for their specula-

According TO the army orders. Axel r.
Holm, a tirst-class private Of G company, sig

same grade and command. organized a syndi-
cate for the exploitation of the French evil

He, the said Holm, did designedly and
fraudulently obtain money from certain Wis

were necessary"
And to the enterprising Bagnal:
That he did knowingly assist In fraudu

kins died He entered the military academy
some time prior to the opening of the Civil
graduate. Hawkins not discouraged by
the failure and as as the Civil war broke
out he offered his services to his country and
was given a commission. He staid in the reg
ular army until the time Of his death and so
strong was his love Of the military academy
that before his death he asked that he might
be buried in the cadet cemetery. 1t was Haw-
kins' custom each year when he could get
away from his command to visit the school
where he had spent three years Of his boy
hood. He had just strong a love for the
institution as did any graduate in the army.
Recently there has been a disposition on
the part of the graduates Of the military acad-
envy to give more consideration to the men
who spent some time at the school, but who
did not graduate. One class organization in
cludes in its membership all the cadets who at
any time were members Of the class, and no
distinction is made between graduate and non
graduate. even the Offices of the organization
being open to men who did not complete the
course
Other class organizations are said to be
preparing to follow the example of that of the
members of 1884 and if the custom of taking
into full brotherhood the non-graduates be-
comes general the belief is that good will
