INSULT AGAINST JEW
 GRADUATE IS CHARGED
Admiral Wilson Calls It "Miserable Trick" "-In-
 vestigation Is Asked

Washington, June 14.-Characteriz. | ing the treatment of Leonard Rap. Ian, of West Virginia, member Of this years grad uating class at the | naval academy in the class Year Book, "a low down miserable trick" Rear Admiral H. B. Wilson, superin- tendent of the Academy, announced here today that he had withdrawn a letter of commendation which he had addressed to J. L. Olmsted, editor of the Year Book.
 The letter withdrawn by Admiral Wilson commended Olmstead on his standing and conduct during his four years course at the academy, and was one of five such letters written to members of this years class. The offense for which Admiral Wilson held Olmstead responsible, consisted in perforating the sheet in the Lucky Bag the class year book, containing kaplan's photograph and biography so that it could be removed without defacing the book.
 Such action Admiral Wilson was understood to feel had improved the standing of kaplan both at the academy among his classmates and in the navy as whole. Olmstead, on the other hand, the admiral said, would enter the navy under the stigma" of having been guilty of low down act

 The slight was in the perforation of the inner margin of the page in the academys Year Book, 'the lucky bag which contained kaplans pho- tograph and short sketch, and the omission of his name from the page
 
 kaplan was of Jewish extraction, at- tributed the indignity to radical and religious prejudice.
 Mir. Siegel's telegram to Col. Roose- welt said kapan had been encour- aged by him during his time at the | academy where he had overcome | serious difficulties"
 Il am of the opinion that he came | put first in his examination he wrote. | No finer specimen of American man. hood and gentleman has ever been at | he academy. An end must be made to the intolerant spirit that is being allowed to enter and prevail amongst those in the government service they be in the navy, army or any other branch. I look to you to take exemplary action."
