TWENTY FIVE ARE SUSPENDED Juniors Wore Their 1 .Color to ".'.the; Building in Defiance of the "Authorities. , The , ordinarily peaceful , Tenth Street park was turned into a battle ground yesterday morning about nine o'clock. While the good ' house wives of that neighborhood were busy driving cheap bargains w ith hucksters and grocer boys, they were suddenly startled by the appearance of a war party of Junior boys and girls, from the high school. Without waste of time in pow-wow the Juniors hoisted their battle flag of purple and white from the top ofa telephone pole and the housewives, anticipating trouble, retreated to the safety of their domiciles. . Trouble came, for scarcely had the purple and white flag been hoisted, when the Senior army arrived on the scene, led by class president Ralph Guyer,who was. formerly captain of the football. team and who does the hammer and shot work jLn .field. . and track meets." ' - '" ' " The sight of the hated. Junior flag brought blood to the eyes of , - the Senior host, and according to survivors of the terible fight, the "scrap", that ensued will long live in the annals of brave deeds, and high school students of days yet to come will speak of it in hushed tones. Principal Ellabarger stated yes terday that trouble between the two J classes was foreseen Thursday, and I that" the students were warned that no scrapping about the school would be permitted. According to the ruling of the school board, students are not allowed to wear their class colors in any shape or form in the high school. . Yesterday morning nearly every senior was absent from school with permision to prepare for their banquet. About eight o'clock Juniors began arriving at the school, and twothirds of them had on their purple and white ribbons. t , 1" Principal Ellabarger met, them at the entrance of the building and informed them that their presence was not desired in the school. In a short space of time nearlj' the entire class of forty-three boys and girls were assembled outside the school, and despite the earnest entreaties of class president Rush Bowman, not to start trouble, the Juniors got-their banner and the fight followed. Principal Ellabarger stated yesterday afternoon that he had a list of twenty-five Junior boys and girls who would be suspended. There was perfect order in the school all day yesterday.

Jerome Hall Raymond Ph. D., the University of Chicago extension lecturer spoke last night in the High School auditorium on "St. Petersburg or Autocracy and Nihilism in Russia." ' ' After ah introduction by Prof. Davis of the high school, Dr. Raymond began by giving a vivid description of Russia. He said that the real policy of Russia is and has always been expansion. He next, spoke of the absoluteness of the power of the Cfcar and showed', that the Nihilism existing in Russia is. caused by, the suppression of all progress by the Autocracy. He said that the spirit of Nihilism is nothing more nor less than the earnest effort of the Russian peope to free themselves from this political, religious and social expression. One of the secrets of Russia's great power is, he said, the close union of the church and state. The latter half of the lecture was occupied with a description of the city of Petersburg. This was illustrated by a large number of stereopticon views. One of the most noticeable things about the city is the number and magnificence of its churches and imperial buildings. A conference was held after the lecture to discuss the subject", and answer any questions brought up. Dr. Raymond gave the same lecture here three years ago although the changed conditions in Russia change the substance of the lecture very materiallv. WEATHER INDICATION. S Vjpera erature.
