WEST POINT FRAUD
LEADS TO ARRESTS
Student Takes Entrance Exams
for His Pal. but Deception
Is Discovered.

The scheme of William h. Donnclsn of
Bedford. Mass. and stephen w. Csu-
toros OF Cleveland 20 pool their brains
in the interests OF the United States
Army. resulted in their being held In
$500 bonds each yesterday by United
States Commissioners Hitchcock. Ac-
cording to the testimony Of Peter w.
Lamb, an agent for the Department of
Justice. Donnelan had the academic
strength while Csutoros supplied the
persistency
Ordinarily the combination should
have produced something where nothing
flourished before. but Commissioner
Hitchcock held that inasmuch as they
had utilized their individual talents to
defraud the United States Government
he was constrained to discourage quail
ties that, on their face, are admirable.
After the armistice the young men
(both being 20 at the time) enlisted in
the army and were assigned to Kelly
Field, Texas. to help raise the standard
of the aviation corps. Both showed
aptitude and zeal. Both, i'm due time,
were rewarded by being told they might
take entrance examinations for West
Point and win commissions. Both passed
the entrance examinations. And then
their troubles started.
Csutoros found the going hard the
then came the midyear tests, and Csu-
toros flunked in mathematics. He was
told that this let him out of West Point.
but that he might try later--that Is,
take entrance examinations all over
again and begin anew. Mechanically
he was a good soldier. But Donneian
not only passed his tests with ease but
was apprehended lending a hand to an
other cadet.
For this lie was hailed before the
Commandant and told that he might re-
sign. but If he did not chose to. the court
martial awaited him. Donnelan re-
signed. He and Csutoros. having be-
come even closer friends. met at Mitchell
Field, Mineola. and, being bright young
men, started a little flying school OF
their own. They failed to make much
money, but this was because It takes
capital TO conduct a flying school.
Csutoros decided 20 have another try
at West Point saying that he was sure
he could make so OF IL the second
time. SO. according to Lamb, the pair
decided that IL was up to Donnelan,
the scholar to get the mentally less
nimble Clevelander back into the Mill
tary Academy. The exams were held
March II and. according to Lamb.
Csutoros did not present himself at the

heaven as it is for a Negro to get

be seriously commended for moment
that the National government can
control the interstate traffic in sheep

regulate the passage OF human be-

purpose Of attempting to stir up
strife in Il city which few hours
before he made his speech was near

1t meant nothing. a supposedly
great Constitutional lawyer should
put his talents to better Use. 1t is
an insult to the intelligence Of a peo-
plo when 1t Is assumed that only by
appeals to prejudices and passions
can they be awaked to duty.
The references to q National ,di-
vorce law was on the same level as
the other references to which l have
alluded. The speaker knows that it
is just as impossible to pass a law
compelling the marriage Of whites
ana blacks as 1t is to pass a law re-
curing every citizen to buy a flying
machine; the speaker knew at the

is not idiotic enough to try to legis-
late upon Il question so purely do

be declared unconstitutional in less
than ten minutes after it had fairly
reached the Supreme Court.
