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 sixty-second article of war they
never would have graduated from the dead
head class on reservation belonging to Uncle
Sam the New York Herald says. AS 1t is,
under the last general order from the war de-
partment two soldiers who levied tribute are
doomed to penal servitude for their specula-
tive enterprise
According 10 the army ORDERS Axel T.
Holm, a frst-class private of company, sig
nal corps. and Edward A. Bagnall, of the
same grade and command organized a syndi-
cate for the exploitation of the French evil
dence of friendship for America, which, fol-
lowing the actual language of the order, oper
ated as to Holm, after this fashion:
He the said Holm, did designedly and
fraudulently obtain money from certain Wis.
itors to the statue of liberty fees for the priv.
lege of going up into said statue by knew
ingly making false pretenses that such fees
were necessary.
And as to the enterprising Bagnall:
That he did knowingly assist In fraudu-
lently obtaining money from visitors to the
statue OF Liberty by acting as lookout with
the duty of actually giving warning to the
man collecting the fees in case an officer were
approaching
All of this, according to the charges and
specifications upon which conviction was made,
and approval then passed, violated the sixty
second article OF war. In the case Of Holm the
department orders his dshonorable discharge

A few months ago Gen. Hamilton S. Haw-

war. but the authorities did not allow him to
graduate Hawkins was not discouraged by
the failure and as soon 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 Tine of his death and so
strong was his lOvA of the military academy
that before his loath he asked that he might
be buried in tn cadet cemetery, 1t was Haw-
kins' custom each year when he could get
away from bis command TO visit the school
where he had spent three years of his boy
hood. He had just as strong love for the
institution as did any graduate In the army
Recently there has been 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
