GIRL KILLED IN A FALL

RICH MAN’S DAUGHTER FALLS EIGHT STORIES FROM HOTEL ROOM TO HER DEATH

CHICAGO, March 1—Miss Ruth Hillman, 19 year old daughter of Edward Hillman, millionaire department store owner of Chicago, plunged to her death today from the Hillman suite on the eighth floor of the Bel-

mont hotel.

George E. Billingsly, manager of j the hotel, said it was an accident. Miss Hillman perched on the ledge

of her open bedroom window for a breath of fresh air, according to a gil friend who spent the night with the victim. It is believed Miss Hillman lost her balance or became dizzy. The girl was dead when picked up. Merl Hammond, 25, of Milwaukee, who was visiting Miss Hillman and was in the room at the time of the plunge, said that the girl suddenly disappeared from sight. “I don’t know whether she was lowering or raising the window at the time” she said. Miss Hillman was of a very studious nature, shunning the lighter side of her social circle. Recently she took a rest from her studies. o Glen Rowland who has been quite ill for several weeks is gradually im-

proving.

Partners for 41 Years

When the Central National Bank opened its door February 28,1883, Greencastle was a straggling little town with streets of mud and a hitch rack around the Court House Square. A horse car resembling the proportions of the “Toonerville Trolley” plied between the north and south railroad stations. In these 41 years the town has grown to be a thriving, modern city, sending out to the world 13,000 carloads of Putnam county products annually; 150 new homes have been built within the past four years. Throughout the years this institution has kept pace growing with the community and helping the community to grow. Moving with its partner—hand in hand—through depression and prosperity, it has acquired the Experience of Age while retaining the Vigor of Youth. Countless men who established their accounts here in the eighties, young, poor and unknown, we greet today as substantial men of affairs. The great majority of the bank’s first patrons have passed on but the names of their children and grandchildren and great grand-children appear on our books. Other generations of depositors will follow, for the “Central”, having kept the faith and being built on a bedrock as solid as the town itself, will live on.

Can DePauw repeat Butler’s victory over Franklin? That is the question on the lips of every basket ball fan in Indiana. In fact, there is the one ploblem, discussed by followers of the game throughout the middle west. The Bull Dogs decisive triumph over Coach Griz Wagner’s net tossers* proved that the Baptists could be defeated. Up until this time foi the past two years, Franklin ha: been turning back quintet after quin tet and it had become a by word that these athletes were invincible. They seemingly could not lose. Game after game, many times with their opponents in the lead, the Vandiver-Gant-Friddle combination would snatch the fat out of the fire and the Wagner crew would emerge victorious. Then came the big surprise. Butler, the team that Franklin had toyed with earlier in the winter, traveled to the home floor of the State Champs and electrified the country by winning from the Johnson county college by a big margin of 14 points, the final score being 36 to 22. Many say that Franklin had an "off night” and others say that it was overconfidence that beat them. It is only natural that hundreds of basket ball fans will made excuses for such a splendid aggregation but there is no way of evading the fact that for forty minutes, Thursday evening, Pat Page’s proteges outplayed and outfought the Baptists. The Bull Dogs were everywhere with a slashing, driving offense and an airtight defense. Perhaps Butler could not turn the trick again but they de serve unlimited credit for their sue cessful work the other night There is on, ,h in8 KtMn the Tigers meet W Ws outm ^ h ranklin on T„„,| ay , „„ hence will mar the p| ay of cilhfr quintet.

ing erected at DePauw within the next ten years, my judgment is that building should be a church well appointed and adequate for the town of Greencastle and the students DePauw’s greatest need is a modern building that will provide for students religiously as they are provided for socially in Rector Hall and

other houses of residence, and physicially in Bowman gymnasium” The Board voted to grant a sabbatical year’s leave of absence for travel and study to Professor L. R. Eckardt, who has given ten consecutive years of service to the college.
