OXFORD, O.. Dec. 22. Village officials, though they have made no effort to ascertain the identity of "white caps" who, on Sunday night, entered the home of Mrs. Ernest Basenback and ordered her to leave town, know -who composed the crowd of 14. Officials say Miami unlversfty students, constituting a self-appointed "morals squad," are responsible for the affair. . . ; It is claimed that numerous complaints have been received regarding Mrs. Basenback'g house, but the village police never were able to-' discover anything wrong at the place. Mrs. Basenback vigorously denies that she has ever been guilty of any misdemeanor, or indescretion In her home, and Just as vigorously denounces the town's officials for not attempting to run down men who forcibly, entered her home and destroyed her property. It is not likely that the white caps will further molest the woman, and it is equally unlikely that she will leave town. ' '' :
