. THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JUNE 8, 1919. 6 A GRADUATES OF DENTAL SCHOOL LET OFF EASY Whole Matter of Buying Stolen Papers Sifted and Men to Be Permitted to Take Examination. Exonerated of any criminal in tent, but smarting under the impli cation that they had been parties to the theft of the dental examination questions prior to the examination, 48 of the 1G0 dental graduates to whom degrees were temporarily re fused, returned from Lincoln Satur day afternoon. The men were all graduates of the Creighton Dental college and went to Lincoln to take the state board examination. Though displaying no bitterness" over the affair, the men emphasized the fact that they had not been ac corded an impartial hearing. The retraction of the charges upon the part of Attorney-General Davis, they pointed out, proves that the charges first made were not only exagger ated, but were without much founda tion. Sufficiently Punished. Heads of the Creighton Dental college, though denouncing the men for their willingness to purchase the questions from the unknown individ ual who had stolen them and to put them to dishonest uses, stated that the students had been suffi ciently punished. Following the retraction of the charges by Attorney-General Davis the men received their diplomas at Lincoln Saturday morning. The students, attorney-general and dental examiners met in con ference in Lincoln, Friday after noon. The whole matter -was sifted and the conclusion reached that an outsider had obtained the questions and knowing their value, had at tempted to sell them to the gradu ates who were preparing to take the State board examination. Conditional to being cleared and given an opportunity to take the examination on or about July 15 the men were forced to state all they knew of the affair. Money Is Collected. They said that last Wednesday an unknown individual had called one of the fraternity houses and in quired of the students if they would j urchase the questions for $200. The conversation was carried on over the telephone and after a consulta tion among the men he was re quested to call again. The sum was collected from the various students and when the second call came from ' the same individual arrangements . for obtaining the questions were :ompleted. Following the successful nego iation, the unknown party was to 'eceive the stipulated amount. In the meantime the theft had been discovered and the exposure ' followed. The committee deleeated '. to deal with the thief still has the money. Suspicion ( was directed toward Prominent Omaha Shoe Man Dies After Brief Illness R. B.

Perry, an Omaha student, entered the exam ination hall late and attracted the attention of Dr. J. H. Wallace. A large notebook was protruding from his pocket. Upon examining it Dr. Wallace found it to contain a re view of all the questions to be put to the students. Dean Davis of the State univer sity defended the men. He stated that this was not the first time such a thing has occurred. Fred Zehnpfennig is president of the local graduation class, and R. A. Stava is their spokesman. Two men, J. A. Singleton. Omaha, and Paul Fleming. Wilsonville, Neb., were exonerated by the attorney-general of the charges made against the other men. Defies Governor. Linco'n, June 7. It is not such a serious matter in the minds of sorr.e of the members of the state dental board for students to "crib" their ex aminations, even when the questions have been stolen and the students are parties to the act. This is the attitude of Secretary S A. Allen of Loup City, who has re fused to allow newspapermen to copy the lists after Governor Mc Kelvie as president of the stare oard of health under which the board operates had authorized news papermen to ask for them. Refuses to Give List. Secretary Allen was located at tlie Burlington on his way home and when appealed to by a newspaper man who had been told by the gov ernor to get the names, refused to give them up. "But these lists are public prop erty," said the reporter, "and are subject to scrutiny." "Can't help that " returned the sec retary. "The students ought not to have their names published as it will put them in bad." "The governor said for you to giv them tr. me," said the newspaper man, "and if you refuse I demand that those names be turned over." Governor to Demand Names. The secretary said he would turn them over only upon a written order Ly Jhe governor and refused to take the word of the newspapermen. Dean Davis of the state university dental college joined with Secretary Allen in the idea that it would be very harmful to the boys to hai e their names published and 'said it would have the same effect on them as a gir' who had gone wrong, in that it would put them in bad fr life. Governor McKelvie when told of the action of the secretary said that He would issue a written order for the secretary to furnish a list of the names.
