Two Midshipmen Dismissed From Annapolis Naval Academy.

Two midshipmen have been dismissed from the Annapolis Naval Academy and twelve others ordered disciplined in varying degrees as the result of investigations about the distribution of examination questions. It seems that the two men dismissed, Ralph Nelson, of New York, and Charles Reagle, of Wellsville, Ohio, stole examination questions and allowed a number of confederates to see them. One of the men disciplined was Overesch, of Lafayette, for “seeing” the so-called “turbin sheets.” It is said that sweeping changes will be made at the academy regarding the giving out of dope on examinations before the time for the exams. It is said that the questions will be made easier and not so long.
