HALDANE’S MEDAL IS STOLEN

University of Edinburgh Students Suspect Suffragettes and Wreck Their Rooms.

London. —A curious Incident which occurred in connection with Lord Haldane’s address at the University of Edinburgh recently has just come to light. The program included the presentation to his lordship of a presidential

badge, but when the officials went to get it where it had been deposited shortly before the proceedings commenced it could not tfe found. After a fruitless search the university officials sent hastily to the jeweler’s to procure an empty case, so that the presentation ceremony might be gone through, i Although Lord Haldane knew the case was empty, he received the supposed badge with all due gravity. Suffragettes were suspected of having purloined the medal, and after the ceremony the students marched to the militant suffragette rooms and partly wrecked them. Ji L-. ,
