TEACHERS DESKS ROBBED. SAYS SUPT. .FULLAM INNAVAL
 ACADEMY 'GOUGING' INQUIRY
Charges That Examination Papers Have Been Stolen NTidshipman of First Glass Says That Leaks on Examination Questions Have Not Been Infrequent- Accused Boy Interrupts Testimony of Officer.

I Isheets were recommended for disnis- sal, while those who saw only copies were not punished.
 Dope Sheets Legitimate.
 It is we'll recognized at the academy that legitimate dope exists in the form of questions asked on previous examinations, hints from instructors ary for these to be given out on vel low paper. These are called dope"
 sheets, and it was upon the theory 1 that most of the midshipmen might have honestly thought this matter to be good dope that they were not pun ished.
 1 Considerable feeling was manifested at the close of the hearing over the con ntinuanee of the midshipnnen under
 arrest. MT. CarIin of counsel for the
 seven young men asked the court to
 direct their release once. Captain
 Russell said in reply that this matter
 rested with Supt. Frullam. The re-
 quest was then put to Rear Admiral
 F'ul1ann, who declined to grant it, say
 ing that the regulations required that | the young men be Fept in arrest while
 under charges, and that it could only
 be abrogated by direction of the Sec
 retary of the Navy.
 I Counsel for the nidshipmen sent a.
 telegram to Secretary Daniels last
 night asking him to issue an order |
 in which the secretary stated that he
 would consider the matter: and inform counsel of his action as promptly as
 possible.
 The inquiry has interfered seriously
 with the instruction of the mfdship-
 men this summer. The practice squad
 ron, consisting of three battleships, was to have sailed yesterday morning
 carrying the midshipnen to the San | Diego and San Francisco expositions lfby way of the Panama Canal. It will
 not be able to leave the bay until the
 present inquiry is over as the wit
 nesses are largely officers and mid l shiprnen stationed on the different ll ships Many of last Fridays grad | uates have been summoned from their homes to testify in he matter.
 Among the questions which the in guiry board will try to solve are: | What instructor, if any, passed out information to the midshipmen? A l testimony given before the academy | inquest.
 Who mailed an anonymous letter to l James Moss containing certain infor- nation appertatning to the examina- | tions and routine work? These let | ters were received by young Hess 7i from time to time, according to: the testimony at the first Investigation 1 Who broke into the department of I modern languages and stole advance | copies of questions propounded by the instructors in French and other lan- | guages?
 .I Why more witnesses were not called l before the Investigating board?z The evidence shows that those mid dshfpmen who were examined mentioned the names of many other nniddies.

CALBURN STARS AT
 LYRIC SUCCESS IN
 COHANESQUE ROLES
little Johnny Jones" Is Pre- scented In Interesting
 Manner By Players.

 the happy spirit with which all me partictants entered into it, and with an audience that occupied practically every available seat the Calburn Mu- sical Comedy Go. began their newest play at the Lyric theatre last night Little Johnny Jones,'' one Of George
 M. Cohan's successes, was presented It has three acts, set respectively in London, at Southampton Dock. and in Chinatown, San Francisco, and each act has a, number of favorite songs, which are exceptionally well rendered by the principals of the company as- sisted by the chorus.
 Miss Florence Mackie, whose sweet voice and charming personality are steadily making her a great faVorlte with her audiences, has most inter esting part in which part. of the time she impersonates an English lord Ar thur Burckly adds anew to his pop ularity in the entertaining role of Tim othy D. McGee, an American politician and horse owner.
 Billy Lynn, the clever comedian and
 dancer, plays the role of Johnny Jones' the American jockey, with skill which is not to be -excelled, and which wins him an unusual amount of ap- plause throughout the performance Gee but you've got a mean dispo- sttion'' is the favorite expression or Whitney Wilson, whose unusually op- tin1istic personality is admiral bly, char acterized by John Kearney. However Wilson turns out to be someone eLse' who plays an important part, despite the many laughs he has caused as an
 apparently shiftless American,
 Petite Nell McCune, with her note book much in evidence, is Florabelle
 Fly of the Frisco Searcher,' while
 Laura Willard is the wealthy Mrs.
 Kenworth who is at the head of the

 cipaIs at times throughout the play
 ing's successful performance assured
