HAZING SUIT NOT SETTLED.

Strong Effort to Compromise Purdue Girl’s Case. Lafayette, Ind., December 19. — Strong efforts have been made to compromise the damage suit which Mabel Rogers of Shoals, Ind., a former student at Purdue University, has brought against seven former Purdue girls, whom she accuses of hazing her and permanently injuring her health. She is suing for $7,000 and recently made a statement fefore the attorney for the defendants that she is willing to compromise for $3,500. There have been several conferences between attorneys in the case, but as yet nothing in the way of a compromise has been agreed on. If the case comes to trial much interesting testimony probably will be heard.
