COLLEGE HEAD PUT IN CELL

Intoxicated Policeman Offended Because Called an Encyclopedia. Anniston, Ala., Oct. 19.—Dr. J. E. Stagg, president of the Presbyterian college, was locked in a cell here for calling a policeman an “encyclopedia.’ Also he was charged with being drunk. It developed that Dr. Stagg was sober, being a teetotaler, and that the patrolman had been drinking. Mayor Wikle suspended the policeman .and ordered the case against Dr. Stagg erased from the record.
