Charlottesville, Ind, Dec. 25.-A sen

sprung yesterday when it was learned
that Charles NJ. Rauch, the colleges
representative at the approaching
state OratOrical contest, had been
charged with plagiarism and had con
fessed his guiIt.
The stolen oratfon dealt with the Ar
menian question and was taken bodily
from q sermon delivered recently by

The Outlook. The joke of the whole
thing is that the judges on thought and
composition save Rauch mark be
low two other contestants, and he won
