examination. had been used by some
OF the midshipmen. including Nunnally.
in the examination room.
This, however, was soon cleared up
by the officer in answer to several
questions. as he stated that he hardly
meant to convey the impression of sus-
pioion. as he could not furnish proof
OF it, Nunnally asked TO have Com
mander Traut recalled as it was large
ly upon the effort of the former tes-
timony given by the officer that the
young ensign was made a party de-
fendant TO the inquiry.
Ensigns Hector mad Hunter. mem
bers of the class graduated a month
ago. were among the other witnesses.
and their testimony was substantially
the same on the main questions pro-
pounded Counsel for the defense.
however. ELECTED from Hector that at

the members were present. and Ralph
Nelson read the resolution TO the eff
feet that the entire class having had
advance information. were equally as
guilty as himself, WAS adopted Inani-

On the other nan1. Hunter testified
there was OPPOSITION to the proposition.
incidentally. counsel for the defense
secured an admission from Hunter
that there had been some ill-feeling be-
TWEEN him and Nelson several months
ago.
Upon his own request Midshipman
William II. Hopkins, Jr., a defendant
implicated by former testimony was
sworn as witness and made a state
ment TO the court as to his connec-
tion with hte scandal Hopkins. like
several other students, did some trans
lating of sentences which appeared as
questions in the official Spanish ex-
animation.
He said he had often helped his
classmates in this respect, and main
tanned his absolute innocence that in
this instance the work done by him
pertained to anything but the usual run
of dope" and he made the transla-
tions as a favor for fellow students.
Furthermore, he added that as far as
he is concerned it had not been his
custom to bother about dope" or other
information in the way of tips in con
nection with an examination.

Inquiry Is Nearing q Close.

number of additional witnesses.
both for the defense and the govern
ment's side of the gouging scandal in
the examinations of miCshipmen at the
Naval Academy, were heard by the
court yesterday afternoon, and with
the defense practically closed, as far
as the original seven defendants are
concerned, the investigation seems to
be nearing an end.
AT any rate everything has been
cleared up to the point that the ships
of the summer practice cruise squad
ron with the midshipmen on board,
will be able to sail on the cruise to
San Francisco and the Panama-Pacific
Exposition via the Canal on July z.
in accordance with the recent order of
Secretary of the-N Navy Daniels.
That the court is making every ef-
fort to clear up the mystery in connec-
tion with the sender of the set of ex-
animation papers to Midshipman Moss.
is indicated by the question put by the
Judge Advocate to each of the witness
es, which question is to give all infor
nation or knowledge they have at the
present time. and from any source as
to how these papers got in circula-
ton. but thus far nothing whatever
has been adduced.
Likewise the Judge Advocate secures
from each witness the names of all
midshipmen who, TO his knowledge
had a substantial amount of advance
information which proved to be correct
on the examination. This is b ing
done, it is said, to trace the so-called
dope" back to the original papers thai
were seen by the original seven defend
ants in the case.
The major portion of Yesterdays
session was devoted to hearing evil
dence of several of the young ensigns,
and other midshipmen who have been
dragged into the matter as interested
parties or defendants as a result Of the
previous evidence gathered, and who
requested that they be allowed to take
the stand in their OWL hehalf. These
included Ensigns Raymond Burhen.
+. b. Hough, A. d. Struble and W /
Nunnally, and MidShipmen C. u. Price
J. d. Waddel and T. r. Denny.
The testimony of all of these was bv
way of explanation that they did not
consider the information they had ON
the examinations was in anv was nm
fair. but that it was what IS termed
legitimate dope.
During the afternoon Commander p.
A. Traut, head of the department of
modern languages, which has been the
tion, appeared before the court. having
storm center of the whole investira-
been called as a witness at the in
stance of Ensign Nunnall,. Comman-
dre Traut had previously te stifie,i tha,

on crumpled sheets picked up outside

GOUGING PROBE CONTINUES
H. H. Harrison Who Disseminated
Dope" Among Former First Class,
Chief Witness Today.

Although not officially announced. ii
was learned from reliable sources here
this morning that two of the midship-
men placed under arrest at the in
stance of the naval board of investiga-
tion detailed by superintendent VIM. +.
Fullam to probe recent acts of the sort,
are Wyse Benson, son of Rear Admiral
William SBenson, Chief of Operations
of the Navy, and A. b. Craig. son of the
Governor of North Carolina.
Altogether seventeen midshipmen are
under arrest, the circumstances of the
offenses alleged TO have been commit
ted by them varying from mild to Sc
we're cases. haZing members of the new
fourth class, who were admitted TO the
Academy since the close of the regular
academic term on june 4. That the
upper classmen were enabled TO get at
the 'Plebes" was due to the fact that
many of them have been ashore from
time TO time as witnesses before the
court of inquiry that has been inves-
tigating "cribbing" and other scanda-
lous acts in the recent annual exam
nations at the Academy.
Ensign II. II. Harrison, who. it seems.
was the chief disseminator of the ad-
vanced information pertaining to the
late examination in modern languages,
among the members of the fourth class,
was the principal witness before the
court of inquiry. Harrison is among
the several ensigns dragged in as de-
fendant to the proceedings as the re-
suit of previous witnesses.
Harrison admitted that he had
large amount of matter which proved
to be the correct questions on the ex-
animation. He said he procured it
from Midshipman VESSEL one of the
original seven defendants, having been
told by a classmate that VESSEL had
il. He also said he got some of the
so-called dope" from other sources,
but in no wise did he consider the in
formation illegitimate.
He said he gave what he had to
party of about fifteen classmates and
presumed that this was why it gained
such rapid and general circulation
among the class. Like the several
dozen other witnesses who have been
examined, he knew nothing of the
origin of the sheets that were sent to
Midshipman Moss. This is the import
ant point upon which the court has
been unable to shed the slightest light.
