Male Students at the University of
Chicago File Protest Against
Classroom Headgear.

Chicago, April 12.-Students at the
University of Chicago want the Plotke
campus. They have gone so far as to
resort to a petition on the subject, but
the article of grievances posted on the
general bulletin board in front of Cobb
hall soon met it's fate at the hands of
some coed vandaIs. 1t has only been
posted a few minutes when it disap
peared.
The trouble had it's origin in Profess
sor Lingle's class in Kent laboratory.
Professor Iingle teaches physiology
and he is also in the habit of making
plain on the blackboard what his pupils
are unable to absorb by recitatiOns. The
girls sit on the front row and according
to the male contingent of the classroom
they wear hats of the Lillian Russell
variety Everything went well until
those on the back seats began to funk
at regular intervals.

The policeman wanted to know what
it was all about and the Rabbi was in
dignant. The policeman wanted to see
his permit. The Rabbi thought that
reference was made to his permit to
preach in the temple, and in the argu-
ment which followed the grass was
trampled upon and a general hubbub
was stirred up.
The Rabbi was marched off to the
station house, followed by a large
crowd.
The preacher explained to Magistrate
Cornell that he and his people had as
sembled to bestOW a benediction upon
the sun, accordance with the Jewish
rites, and that the creation of a dis
turbance had not been intended.
The magistrate smiled, said that the
policeman had acted within the law, and
discharged the prisoner.

the story told by Ransom and Mullen,

Saturday. After several interviews, it
is said, he directed that hereafter Mr..
Hutchinson should look after the real
estate and collect the rents; that the
name of Rockefeller was not to be
mentioned in politics, and that Mr.
Hutcheson should cease to hire and dis
charge men. Today five men were laid
off.
Mr.. Hemingway, Hutcheson's assist
ant, yesterday told Irving D. Revere,
who is constructing a carriage house on
the Rockefeller place, that Mr.. Rookie

hereafter all men would be hired by the
day. He said it would be cheaper, and
then the bosses would not be able to
make percentages from the men, To-
day Mr.. Hemingway sent for Ransom
