An Emphatic Denial that Prof j. G. Ridpath
Has Been rendered the Place.

rendered the presidency, replied Major Mitchell.

probability that it would be offered him. In
fact. have not heard his name mentioned in
connection with the position before There has
been no meeting of the board OF trustees to con
slider the matter of eecting a successor to DR..
Moss and there is no one authorized to speak
for the board
The board is expected to meet at the Grand
Hotel this evening to consider the election of
a president Of the university, but there is not
likely to be any conclusive action upon the mat
ter before tomorrow. Among those who have
been prominently spoken of as likely to be elect
ed are F. A. Friedey, president of the DePauw
Female College, at New Albany DR.. White. eX-
president of Purdue University; Professor Free
man Of the Michigan University; Professor

George Holt the highwayman who was shot
by Charles H. Price last Wednesday night and
who is now lying at the City Hospital yesterday
admitted to Patrolman Davis under whose sur
Vigilance he has been kept, that he made the as
sault upon Price, and related the particulars of
the attempted robbery. He has disclosed to the
