Annapolis Investigation Brings
Out Information That Sc
curing Advance dope" Has
Been Common,

Annapolis, Md, June IS. - Two
naval academy midshipmen admitted
today that under certain conditions
they would use stolen examination pa
pers for their own advantage. These
admissions were all the more surpris-
ing because they came from men who
have not been implicated in the
charges which are being investigated
by court of inquiry.
Daniel 5. Appleton, of the former
third class, when questioned by Judge
Advocate Watt, said he thought that
half Of his class might be party TO re-
ceiving and using stolen information
Would you do SOP asked the
judge advocate.
yes" was the reply.
Ralph Wyman disagreed with his
classmate, as to half the class being
willing to take advantage of stolen
papers. He would not do so, he said,
unless he were in the wooden" or low
mark section and needed help to make
his passing mark.
The system whereby q boy. once
he gets into the so-caled wooden"
section Of his class, finds it hard get
ting out because the marking of pa
pers there is so much more severe,
again was brought to the fore today,
Midshipman w. y. Mackay said that
his personal experience had been that
he could get better marks in the
"savvy'' section than he could for the
same excellence of work If he were
for the time being classed in the
wooden" section.
He was shy of dope" Midshipman
Milton O. Carlson said, because of an
experience with it, once
when he was in the hospital his room
mate had brought him dope" which
he studied exclusively and he busted

on examination.

A laugh, in which the members OF
the court could not refrain from join
ing. was created when Ensign Struble,
one of the defendants examined
d. j. Davis. The witness
was asked If he had heard of a case
where a messenger in one of the acad-
emic departments, wearing white
trousers, sat on a mimeograph ma
chine on which examination papers
We're printed and later sold the trou-
sers to a midshipman. Davis SAID
he had heard the story but did not re- J
gard it seriously.
Suspicion that midshipmen may
have combined to purchase copies OF
examination questions from some nav
al academy employe, was hinted at in |
questions put by the judge advocate TO |
several midshipmen who testified to-
lay None had heard even reports Of
such thing.
