SAY WOMAN SOLD
EXAM QUESTIONS
To TEACHERS
Leak Barred When Applicants
All Gave Same Answers
To Questions.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, Oct. 22.-
Mrs. Alice Hunt of this city was put on
trial here last week in connection with
the stealing and selling OF examination
PAPERS and certificates to teach III Texas
schools.
She was arrested following investiga-
tions conducted several months ago by
the State Department OF Education. With
her are involved several applicants for
teachers certificates.
1t is charged that questions and an
swers were disposed of through Mrs.
Hunt and that number OF applicants
received the questions previous to the
time OF examination.
An attempt will be made by the state
to prove that Mrs. Hunt acted as an
agent and that the test papers were
stolen and turned over to her Tor sale.
1t is believed that other arrests may fol-
low the trial here.
Investigation that led to the present
charge against the defendant followed
the receipt of several sets of examina-
ton papers in the State Department OF
Education to be graded, in all of which
the answers were identical. Comparisons
of the papers showed that the same
wording was used in three instances
throughout the entire list of questions
which, it is said, proves that the three
applicants obtained the answers from d
common source. The investigation wa:
carried on here by members of the coun.
ty attorneys department, assisted by w
Z. James of the Department of Educa
ton and County Superintendent w. A
Thurman of Bexar county.

members of the Southern Syncopated
Orchestra are reported to be missing
as a result of the sinking of the Laird
Line steamer Rowan, off the south

fog.

aboard were rescued. Two passen-
gers died after being rescued by ves-
sells which responded to the wireless

tai "Buffaloes" Infantry. He was car
ried down by the ship, but struggled
to the surface and swan to life raft,
onto which he dragged manv women,
children and men from the water.
Time after time, seeing a person help
less and drowning he would leave the
safe raft and assist others in getting
close He continued this work OF
rescue until chilled and exhausted, hui
man nature would permit him to do no
more. Among those saved rwas a
young boy, Edward Spires, who was
almost unconscious when Thompson
picked him up.

bound, and the Rowan, outbound, from
/ Glasgow, were both proceeding with
slow speed. The West Camack hi

was heard. A moment later the linei
loomed out of the fog, slicing into
the passenger ship aud cutting it il
two as with huge knife.
The Rowan sank Immediately, drag
