Charges Head Of the
Naval Academy Is
Acting Improperly

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, June 14-When the
court of inquiry investigating irregulht-
ties in examinations at the naval acad-
emy reassembled after luncheon recess
today. Congressman James Hay Of mid
shpmens counsel. addressed the court
to the effect that the evidence OF Mid
shipman Ward and others indicated that
witnesses were being tampered with by
the superintendent of the academy be-
fore they gave their evidence.
That Midshlpmen Moss, Duncan and
T. w. Harrison OF the last third class
who have been recommended for dis
missal for ''gouglng'' were no more guilty
than the majority Of the class. In the
opinion OF their classmates, was de-
clared today by Midshipman Clarence o.
Ward before the naval court of inquiry
investigating Irregularities IN examina-
tions at the institution.
1t also was the general belief OF the
class, he said, that the integrity OF the
three defendants was such that they
would not stoop so low as to steal an
examination paper.
Moss claims to have received through
the mails from an anonymous source
packages that he believed to be leEiti-
mate dope" for information, but which
the academy authorities contend he and
all others who saw them should have
known were official papers prepared for
the last examination in the modern Ian
guaKeg.
Several witnesses had testified that
they had been told by Admiral FulIsm or
his aide that II they took a certain stand
in their testimony they would be placing
themselves in the same category with the
seven original defendants.
Congressman Hay characterized this as
intimidation that Shocks the sense of
decency OF the whole country" He asked
for a ruling in the matter and the court
was cleared while the members took Il
under advisement
When the doors were reopened the
president Of the court announced that he
had directed that a letter be sent TO
Admiral Fullam, requesting him not TO
give any advice TO nor discuss with any
midshipman reporting at his office the
matter Of their status rs witnesses.

On other days than national holidays

they are across the river Dneister
