MAt HINK GUN FIRE HALTS THREE PRISON FUGITIVES LANCASTER, Ohio., May 8. — A machine gun yesterday halted the flight of three Ohio penitentiary convicts w' o slipped down a cable from the high prison -walls at Columbus

eight days ago.

Sheriff William Belhorn and his deputy, Dudley Crider, captured the trio—Rufus Deeds, Arthur R. Koontz and Martin Schmidt—in a <|uick attack on their hideout in a ‘‘hobo camp” a mile from Hooker Station. Deeds was shot in both hands as he and Koontz tried to elude the sheriff. Schmidt surrendered peacefully. The convicts still had the repeater shotgun and a gas gun they stole from a wall tower when they fled

Sunday, April 28.

Deeds was unconscious when brought here to the sheriff’s office. Recovering consciousness quickly- he admitted planning the escape and sa : o it was effectfvl with a w*>oden gun. Warden Preston E. Thomas at

Columbus, however, branded Deeds’ statement as untrue. Ti e escape of 12 boys from the boys’ industrial school here- Sunday night indirectly resulted in the capture of the three convicts. Officers seeking nine boys still at large spotted the three suspicious looking characters. They notified the sheriff. Deeds was serving a 10 to 25 year term for robbery from Lawrence county. Koontz was sentenced in 1927 to t tree to 20 years for auto stealing from Franklin county, and Schmidt was sentenced in 1931 to 20 years to life for bank robbery in Hancock '•ounty.

Dr. G. Bromley Oxnani delivered the chapel address Tuesday morning. It was his last apisuirance on the De- , Pauw chapel programs for the current year. He prefaced his remarks by calling attention to a new campus publioation, “The Hellenist,” which ippearol for the first time this week. Dr. Oxnam said: “The first issue of a student publication entitle*! ‘The Hellenist’ has appeared upon t ie campus. It marks the | beginning of student expression spon- ] sored and financed by the students themselves. It is most interesting that a group of progressive students should turn to a civilization twentyfive thousand years old for their inspiration. It would lie interesting to ask how many of the students have studied Greek. It would he interesting, too to know how many of them actually received their inspiration for creative writing from a study of the Greek philosophers, the Greek playwrights, the Greek artists. "It is heartening indeed when students face the supreme fact that values are actually more fundamental than facts. It i- equally inspiring to find them seeking an insight into the wholeness of life. There is danger, though, that such admiration for the Greek may center its attention upon otip aspect of Greek life and by so doing become disloyal to the Greek rpi-it. “For instance, in the editorial it is pi inted out that for Matt ew Arnold, Hellenism meant: (1) Thanking rath er than doing; (2) Contemplation rather than action; (3) Critical evaluation rather than unquestioning obedience. The editorial concludes with the statement that the ideal of

this paper is ‘the expression of the contemplative life.’ “Since some of our students have become deeply interested in and inpirel by the Greek spirit, many othI ers may be interested in ascertaining for themselves the me-aning of this spirit. May I suggest three books? They have been helpful to me and may serve as a first step toward the mountains. Edith Hamilton has written a book entitled ‘'The Greek Way . A man who calls himself ‘a gentleman with a duster’, who is really Harold Bugbie. has written a readable volume entitled ‘Seven Ages’, which he says is ‘a brief and simple narrative of the pilgrimage of the human mind as it has affected the English-speaking world’. William DeWitt Hyde, in the Haverford lectures of thirty year- ago, discussed the Greek idea in some «'f the chapters of the volume ‘Fn>m Epicures to Christ’. "If (.ne reads these books, he will be informed that what was produced of art and thought in the little Greek peninsula wa- never surpassed and rarely equalled. It is pointed out that the modern world and the ancient world is divided by a certain principle—namely, the supremacy of mind in the affairs nf men. this principle wa J created in Greece. It was there that we witness the coming of the observing reas on. The Greek interes* was not centered in the dead as in Egypt. The Egyptian sought comfort in another world. The Greek enjoyed this one. The Greek faced an environment that was not generous. He was forced to struggle for bread. Miss Hamilton tells us that Egypt submitted and suffered, turning its face toward death. Greece resisted and rejoiced and turned full face toward life. The Greeks manifested their joy of Iming in games, climaxing at last in the Olympic games. It was a tomb in Egypt, a theater in Greece. Their life rested on thinking for themselves. They insisted that ‘AH things are to be examined and called into question. There are no limits to thought’. The remit is that the priest does not rule in Greece as he did in Egypt. Plato stated that two inscriptions were to be seen at the Shrine at Delphi: (1) ‘Know thyself. (2) ‘Nothing to excess’. We find this spirit manifested itself in Greek art, which is not symbolic. The world itself was significant to the Greek. He did not dismiss it. He loved it. He aw its beauty. There

was no reason to resort to symbol. Hence his art is not supernatural. It is super-individual. "But why should our Hellenist friends seek to develop thinking and aot doing? By stressing thought solely, by insisting upon contemplation nione, by urging critical evaluation alone they are apt to depart completely from the Greek. The Greek .-culptor is associated with a statue, the architect with a temple, the political scientist with a democratic state. “Would it not he wise for us to avoid the i-ianger that so often lies in the pcl'cy of separating one’s self from life by using the Greek law of balance? The liberty, which was the great contribution of Greece must be found. Hut law, which was the contrihution of Rome, is just as essential for society, And love, which was tbe gift of Christianity, is equally imperative. Is it possible to look forward to the fusing of Greek, Roman, and Christian spirit upon the campus for the purpise of creating a higher spirit, thm has been, which we may some day call the American spirit?” Three Hurt As Auto Hits Cow
