The naval court of inquiry resumed
its investigation of the tgouging"
scandal at the Naval Academy shortly
after . o'clock this morning. with
Rear-Admiral w. f Fullam, superin-
tendent, as the chief witness.
Admiral Fullam was on the stand
for short while yesterday afternoon
just before court adjourned for the
day. and because of the short time, his
opening testimony was of little import
When Admiral Fullam returned to
thestand as witness this morning. he
was permitted to read the correspond
ence between Secretary of the Navy
Daniels and himself in connection with
summary punishment of several Mid
Shipmen recently, including the recon-
mendations in the cases of the seven
Midshipmen involved in this goug-
ing scandal
Admiral Fullam read the letters pre-
ceding the dismissal of r. Byers J. w
Cronan, third class, who were caught
in an attempt TO steal examination pa
pers from the rooms of the Depart
ment of Mathematics and of c. c. Gill.
second class. who was adjudged guilty
by an investigating board of attempt
ing to bribe civilian employe, to Sc
cure papers for the examination in
electrical engineering
In these, as well as the gouging
cases, Admiral Fullam laid stress upon
the Navy Departments determined
stand in the premises, by reason of the
fact that Secretary Daniels directed
| that each of the Midshipmen should
make answer in one day why he should
not be dismissed from the Naval
Academy.
Admiral Fullam then told of his con
versation over the telephone with Mr.
Robert Moss,o Annapolis father of one
of the accused boys. in which he in
formed Mr.. Moss of the action recon-
mended in the case of his son, to which
Mr.. Moss inquired whether his son was
to be so Disseminated against in a
matter in which at least $50 other stu
dents are involved. to which Mr.. Moss
| replied that in such an event he would
present inquiry.
Admiral Fullam then told of the per-
| sonal investigation conducted by Sec
retary Daniels while in Annapolis last
| Friday. He then spoke of the strict
adherence TO the law in furnishing all
Midshipmen. Admiral Fullam then
read a lengthy letter which he said was
his fnal correspondence over thewhole
affair. In this letter the Superintend-
ent speaks of the misfortune of it all
particularly in the case of Nelson
a star" member of the graduating
class, in view of his high standing
both as scholar and in military eff
cheney, as he ranked fourth in the reg
iment OF Midshipmen, but said that he
should not be allowed TO escape the
punishment for such reprehensibIe con
duct
Admiral Fullam placed much en-
phasis upon his several conversations
with Mr.. Moss, Sr. and much feeling
indicated thereby. He was asked by
Lieut.. Commander Watt. the Judge Ad.
vocate, TO tell of these conversations
especially when names of other off.
\ GERS were mentioned The Superin-
tendent said he regretted TO have tc
speak of such a matter, but, resuming
said: Mr.. Moss said that Surgeon Nc
Dowell, on duty here about a year ago
had assured him (Mr Moss) that be

Congressman Hay today received q
telegram from Secretary of the Navy
Daniels in which ii is stated that the
seven Midshipmen accused of goug-
ing are held under arrest in accord
ance with the naval regulations and
that, therefore, they could not be re-
leased as requested in a message sent
by Congressman Hayes and Carlin yes
terday.
1t was claimed in the request that
the Middies were being unduly held in
confinement
When the court resumed it's after

shipmen. was sworn as witness. He
related in detail the circumstances
leading up to the discovery that exam
ination questions leaked out. which in
cluded a conference with the presi-
dent of the class, and Midshipman
Vessels, one of the accused, who ad-
mited that Midshipman Moss told him
to come TO his room and get a copy of a
paper that would help him out in the
examination in modern languages.
Captain Burage then told of young
Moss's admission that he had the pa
pers, having received them through
