OXFORD, Ohio, March 24.-An In

three and four o'clock in the morning
together with hard cider and cigarettes

young women students at the Western

For some time the faculty has sus-
pected the existence of the Frat" but
was unable to catch the offending mem
bers. Last Saturday an initiation was
planned and during the night search
for the girls was made by the faculty.
Tracks in the light snow led to the
cemetery vault, where the girls were
surprised. They escaped through a
basement window. In the girls room
it was said empty bottles and cigar
cite boxes were found, and suspension
was decided on.
The girls deny that they had cigar
cites and hard cider.
O'Toole, the grave digger, says the
girls often come to the cemetery, and
this week he found masks scattered
about indicating flight on the part of
the girls. The vault is always open.
The road from the school to the ceme-
terry is dark and rough. When the
sentence was read before the school
wailing and lamentations went up.
Fathers pleaded for their daughters,
but the faculty was memorable.

THE responsibility is on the sheriff.
