CHEATING SCANDAL
LAST YEAR, ALSO

ANNAPOLIS, June S.-With
one of their classmates in dan
ger of being dismissed from the
naval academy, the graduating
class last year came to his rescue
with resolution which declared
he had been guilty of no offense
of which all were not guilty
namely, having advance informa-
ton as to what examination
questions would be, and not re-
porting it.
This was brought out In the
Cheating" inquiry here today.
The authorities do not charge
that the students stole the ex-
aminations questions, but that
when the questions were sent
them, they did not report them
to academy authorities.
