GOVERNOR HADLEY WlfJS THE BATTLE

WHICH HAS BEEN RAGING AT

EARLHAM COLLEGE ALL THIS WEEK.

WILL URGE BEVERIDGE

TO CHANGE HIS VIEWS IN REED SMOOT CASE.

STUDENTS HAVE GIVEN III

Most of Those 'Tired" Sign Iron Clad Rules and Return A Peace Conference.

President Kelly, Governor Iladley and the Earlham faculty have won a victory for law and order in the Hutton "ducking" case and the students

who were standing out against them have signed a pledge which binds

them to obey the rules of the dormi

tory in the future whatever they

may.be.

The students decided to give in af

ter a whole day of quibbling over the

matter. They say that their principa

reason for backing down in their

stand against the authorities is that

many of the students who had their

scholarships taken away from them,

along with being thrown out of the dormitory could not attend school if

they had to pay tuition. It was jn or der to keep these students in schoo that the boys say they gave in.

All of the twenty two who were

denied dormitory privileges are not

yet reconciled to going back if they

must obey what they call harsh rules. Further than this they say they will quit the institution entirely, and

others claim they will drop out at

the end of this term.

President Kelly said last night that all the students would be permit

ted to return to the dormitory after arranging with Governor Iladley ex

cept Lowell Parker and perhaps N. K. Mills, who have been regarded as leaders in the alTair. It is this discrimination that the students object to and there were stories in the air, last night of how the. students intend to "duck" Governor Iladley in a bath tub. A number of students' are preparing a petition asking that the Governor be removed. They say that they do not think that it would be heeded but they want to show their feelings in the matter. The students say that they hold nothing against President Kelly and the board of trustees but that they cannot forgive Governor Iladley for what he has done. Earlham College yesterday resembled a peace conference with two armies, one the faculty of the school and the other the student body, resting after j

a battle and trying to agree on terms of reconciliation, but neither wanting to back down from the stand taken. The whole situation was the termination of the "ducking" episode at the college last Friday, and at 5 o'clock it looked as if" the students had the better of the affair. President Kelly expressed himself before the students yesterday afternoon in a manner which they considered fa

vorable to them and from which the

interpreted to mean that he was not

satisfied with Governor Iladley of

trie boys' dormitory.

The twenty boys who were denied

dormitory privileges by Governor

Iladley Tuesday, took their punish

ment yesterday and almost all the

students in the bovsV dormitorv left

the building with them. Not only that, but the girls as well, showed

their leelings in the matter by refusing to eat in the college dininsr room

and that place was almost barren of

students at the noon hour. The biggest meeting of the day took place in the afternoon. It opened with all the students present, with the exception of those who had been "fired" and a number of the faculty members. Speeches were made pro and con by the students and faculty members, during which Prof. D. W. Dennis said that perhaps the faculty had blundered and closed with a story which put all the students in good humor. lie was closely followed by President Kelly, who

First Presbyterian Missionary Socie

ty Decides on Such Action at

Meeting Yesterday. At the meeting of the Missionary Society of the First Presbyterian church yesterday afternoon, a letter was read from Mrs. McCrea, president of the Indiana Synodical Society of Home Missions, urging the local missionary society to do all in its power to get Senator Beveridge to change his views in the Reed Smoot case. The letter stated that it was known

that Senator Beveridge was one of the few Senators that favored seat

ing Smoot, which action the Presbyterian missionaries in Utah feel

would be very detrimental to their

work. They think it would be put

ting the stamp of approval on Mor-

mouism. The local society voted to accept the suggestion made bv Mrs.

McCrea and the society members will present the matter to the church urging that a remonstrance be prepared and forwarded to Senator Beveridge.

Baptist church. They are, however, extremely glad that they have been united as one notwithstanding the fact that the knot was tied by the Lutheran ceremony. Hollowell and his bride were

waiting for County Clerk Haas at his

Improvement Association on the

Boyce Farm, south of the city, ex

pires today and the executive com

mittee of the Association has made arrangements for a short extension

in order to enable it to secure the re mainder of the amount necessary be fore the deal can be closed. According to the terms of the con

tract, $25,000 is to be paid for the

land and $15,0000 is the amount of

cash which must change hands at the time of the transfer of the deed. Al

though the committee in charge has been working diligently there still remains almost $2,000 worth of stock

which must be subscribed before the

necessary amount is secured. At the

rate the stock is selling now, there

will be no trouble of disposing of it

within a short time.

Adam Brinker, a prominent mem

ber of the S. S. I. A. said last evening that the farm would be purchased as it was too good a proposition for the present stockholders to turn aside and that they would see that the remainder of the stock is subscribed

before the present option expires.

GARFIELD GRADUATING CLASS TO GIVE UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT.

highly respected women of Richmond

and her wide circle of friends extend over the whole state. Of late years, her poor health has kept her closelv

confined to her home, northeast of the

city, but her guests and callers have

been many, and Mrs. Gaar has taken

an active interest in outside affairs.

Mrs. Gaar was born in Wavne

County, south of Richmond, in May

1831, and was the daughter of Henry and Agnes (Chapman) Adams. The

greatest part of her girlhood was

spent in Cincinnati and in Illinois.

When she was nine years old her mother died and she removed to this state with her father and lived with

him in Richmond until her marriage

to Abram Gaar, in March, 1851, at

the age of 19 years.

Mrs. Gaar is survived bv four chil

dren, all residing in Richmond, and

by two sisters. Her children are Oli

ver P., of East Main street; Clem A. of North 15th street: Samuel W. of

North 13th street, cashier of the sec

ond National bank; and Mrs. Nettie R. Strattan, North 15th street, wife

of S. S. Strattan, Jr. Mrs. Ann Ad-

Friends, the former will be held the last part of August and the latter the last week of September. B. B. Myrick, Jr., chairman of the finance committee stated last night that he proposed to secure the money needed to start the project by the selling of souvenirs. These souvenirs will be buttons, badges or something on that order and will be sold to the people of Richmond at a reasonable

rate so that it will be' possible for

everyone to secure them. Later a guarantee fund will be raised among the business men of the city. The committee hopes to have the Centennial last over Sunday so that church services appropriate to the occasion can be held in every church of the city. A motion was adopted requesting that the members of the Richmond Art Exhibit Association act with

the managers of the Centennial in arranging for an exhibit of local artists to be held during the Centennial at the Garfield school building. Professor Earhart, musical supervisor of the public schools, told the executive committee last evening that he would arrange for a splendid musical program during the Centennial.

tion with the assault. He said that he had been down town early Saturday evening and was returning home

about eight o'clock when he met a man at the corner of Twelfth and Main streets. The man asked him

where he was going and Quigg told him that he was going home. The man started south on Twelfth street with the lad and as they passed the first alley south of Main street the man asked Quigg to carry a message for him to a woman on South Eleventh street. "There's fifteen cents in it for you" the man told him. Quigg refused and then the man grabbed the boy and began to drag him back to the alley. Quigg says that there were only two people on the street at that time, two women about a square distant, and he was prevented from calling out by his assailant gripping him about the neck with both hands.

Quigg began to sob and the man told

him to "hush his noise" or that ha

would strangle him. These were the only words Quigg's assailant addressed to him. Young Quigg says that when the man dragged him into the Cain lumber yards he noticed two lights burn-, ing in the Taylor livery barn and saw a man working there. He states that when his assailant noticed this it frightened him and he hurried away. The man working in the barn was Al Robertscolored. He says that he heard no noise in thelumber yards but noticed a man answeriner the descrin-

tion furnished by young Quigg Sat

old and Roberts made some joking remark about "barbers beinfr on a

strike." After staying around the barn a few, minutes the man left. Roberts said that he had never seen the man before nor since the assault.
