NAVAL ACADEMY PROBE
IS GOING DEEPER


annapolis. June S.---Fresh evidence
was given today before the court of
inquiry assembled to investigate the
use OF unfair means in examinations
at the Naval Academy. It was shown
by the testimony OF Commander Fred
A. Traut that. after the first and
second class examination In modern
languages, scraps OF paper were
round near the examination roomx
which being put together showed that
questions and answers had been in
possession OF the midshipmen who
took the examinations.
In his further examination Admiral
Fullam. superintendent OF the acad-
envy. testified that three midshipmen
had been dismissed Just before COM
mencement week for effenses OF this
general character. Midshipman
Charles O. GILL he said. had tried
to bride 4 civilian employe TO furnish
him with copy OF an examination,
while Midshipmen Byers and cronan
had been detected In neffort to
enter the once OF one Or the in
structors. The defeKse OF Midshipman
Gill was that he was trying to show
that examinations could be purchased,
but this was not regarded as weighty.
Admiral Fullam indicated his
strong feeling In the matter az se.

ties. He said that the services Of

 The opening was steady at unchanged prices to an advance of points in re- sponse to relatively steady cables and a few overnight buying orders. but there was no important demand and prices soon turned easier under scattered Wall street and little southern selling. The publica- ton of rather pessimstic forecasts of the expected German note appeared resnonsi- ble for most of the Wall street offerings
 and while the southern selling was ac- companied by reports that spot handlers in the interior were hedging actual. the pressure from that source was not con- sidered sufficient to indicate any weaken

At any rate, the market steadied at decline of about s to points and a rally of or 5 points followed the publication of the western belt forecast calling for unsettled weather with showers or rains tomorrow Demand failed to improve on this advance, how ever and the market was easier again in the afternoon under continued scattered selling part of which was supposed to reflect liquidation by recent buyers for a

Deaf Mute Husband Wins Divorce From
 Wife, Also Afflicted

From the Globe Democrat
 Detroit.-Working his fingers and facial expressions almost unceasingly. Muii vile P. Wilson, a deaf mute, told Judge Mandell how his wife, who also is a mute, scolded and otherwise abused him. The story was told through deaf inter- preter, and at it's conclusion. Judge Man dell sighed remarked: We all have trou- tles of our own,' and signed a decree of divorce.
 Another witness, also a deaf mute. told of things coming under his observation. and none of his testimony was objected to as being merely hearsay. Clerk Thomas Fraser administered the oath in his loud est tones to the deaf interpreter, who, in turn, worded it on his fingers to the witnesses.
 Asked to give his address, the complain ant rapidly spelled and gestured some- thing with his right hand. The inter- preter, with a quizzica look on his face, turned to the judge and remarked: Fun ny. but I never heard of that street. and the judge smiled and said he did not either.
 At one time the complainant seemed to be telling a long story, and Attorney Loree, fearing that the patience of the court would be exhausted. walked up close to the interpreter and thundered Don't lead that witness into any long winded conversations" and the court smiled again.
