Because of suspicion of cheating upon
his examination before the State Board
of "Medical Examiners, which has Just
closed its annual examinations In this
city, rested upon him, a young man
among the most prominent applicants for
admission to the ranks of tho meditai
profession was requested to wit.i?raw
from the examination, and did so.
It is understood that three members of
the board and one applicant for the
board's diploma were satisfied that the
young man was receiving assisa?, noe on
his examination from a book which h?**
held beneath his desk, and upon their
evidence this action was taken.
DID NOT HEED WARNING.
A student familiar with the affair said
last night that the young man against
whom this charge was brought nad
been warned the day before that he was
suspected of unfairness on the examina?
tion and cautioned, but did not regard
the advice, as on the next day he ap?
peared even more open in the use of his
note books. The fact that he was re?
ceiving aid from a book, was finally ?as?

was placed in the gallery of the hall
when the examination was being held,

lap, and noticed him referring to it fre?
quently. When the charges were pre?
ferred, he made no denial, but complied
with th? request of the board and with?
drew from the examination.
The fact that the young man was re?
quested to withdraw on this account, has
been kept exclusively quiet, and very few
of those students taking the examina?
tion were, aware that stich was the case.

SEW BOVE OF THE
iPElLCOIffiY
Reported That it Will Build Large
Cigarette Factory Here?Ru?
mored Option on Property.
It is reported that the Imperial To?
bacco Company has secured options on
property in Rienmond upon which it
purposes to erect one of the largest
cigarette factories in the world.
Inquiry last night failed to elicit au?
thorized confirmation of this report. Air.
Welford C. Reeu, the Virginia represen?
tative of the company is in England
at this time. Mr: D. S. Thomas, asso?
ciated with him in the conduct of the
company's affairs in this State could not
be found last night.
If this report is true the purpoose of the
British Company is to pursue not only
a defensive policy towards its American
ritrai, the American Tobabeco Comparuv,
at home, but a distinctly aggressive and
offensive policy abroad. Up to this time
the Imperial Company has contented!
itself with the inv.asion of America by
an army of purchasing agents wh?_ have
met and thrown down the gauntlet to
the representatives of the great American
trust in every tobacco market in this
country. The policy of the company has
clearly foreshadowed an extensive ware?
house system in America.
The extensive manufacture of cigar
rettes in this country to be placed on
the market along side of the goods of
the American Tobacco Company would
be an interesting sequel of the European
factory purchasing tour of President
Duke, which led to the formation of the
combine known as the Imperial Com?
pany.
