BROKE UP AN INITIATION.
Baltimore Policeman Captures Five
Maryland University Men

Maryland University Men-
BALTIMORE, March 1.-THE initiation
Of two students into Greek letter fra
ternity of the Maryland University was
interrupted last night by Patrolrnan Clay
ION. of the Western district, who failed
to appreciate its humorous features.
Though the initiation proper is conducted
with much secrecy and mystery within
the university building, it is preceded by
what may be termed a public exhibition
of the candidate for initiation The po-
lice say that the public exhibition" is a
new feature, but the students contend
that it has always formed highlT inter-
esting part of the initiation into the Phi
Kappa Sigma Fraternity.
When the initiating party, consisting CT
six students, four of them blindfoIded,
reached Baltimore and Pine Streets. they
met an unexpected obstacle in the person
Of Patrolman Clayton. The patrolman.
TO use his own words, was completely
startled upon seeing The party trying to
buy out a peanut vender amid college
yelIs and resounding warwhoOps.
Closing in on the party the patrolmau
captured five OF the six students and pro-
ceeded to walk them 10 the Western Pc
lice Station. Two of the students, blind
folded, were fastened together with heavy
trace chains, which ratified along the
payements. exciting the interest and
amusement of every passer-by. The two
candidates were given a somewhat more
ridiculous appearance by rbAiaz. compelled
TO walk along with one leg of their trous-
ers rolled up above their knees The other
two had the candidates in charge. but in
stead Of being chained were only blind
folded
The rafting Of the heavy chains as the
students entered the station aroused the
housemen instantly. and predictions were
ventured that some desperate criminals
had been caught and il had become neces-
sary 20 chain them. The blindfolding
added 10 the mystery But when Il was
all explained there was general laugh.
The handkerchief and chains We're re-
moved and the students arraigned before
Lieutenant Rowe
The captured students gave the names
Of German Emory. Charles J. Bishop. Guy
+. Smith. Frederick Schultz and Cooper
r Drury- Emory was the only one not
biindfolded- He defended the students and
denied the patrolmans statement that
they were acting in a diSOrderly manner
Smith and Schultz. who il seems were
the candidates for initiation. did not re-
move the bandages from their eyes un-
til several minutes after they had reached
the station They seemed to believe II TO
be opposed to frat ernity traditions for
them to touch the 04ndages. All the stu
dents were charged with disordrrly con-
duct. and upon deDOSiting 81 ID each as

REVIEWING STAND BLAZE
Question of Responsibility for Dam
age TO Public Property.

4 Conference Between the COntrac-
tor and Chairman Edison, of the
Inaugural Committee-The Insur-
ance Policy Had Just Expired
The damage to Government property
by the fire at the Presidential reviewing
stand last night is about 5000 The
loss caused by injury to the reviewing
stand and its contents amounts to about
$3.50 additional. The four stands within
the Court of Honor had been insured by
the contractor. James Parsons, who
erected the stands, for $1,000 each, but the
policy expired at noon yesterday.
Two of the great stone pillars which
form part of the fence about the White
House grounds viii have to be replaced.
while another is so badly damaged that
probably it would be a smaller item Of
expense to rebuild than to repair it. The
damage to the iron fencing is not ma
terial-
Besides the pIanking and other wood
work in the stands, all of the draperies
were destroyed. as were a quantity Of
valuable tools. the property of the con-
tractor. which had been stored beneath
the structure.
Mr.. Parsons called upon Chairman Ed
son, of the inaugural Committee, this
morning, and discussed with him the
causes Of the fire. Mr.. Parsons has been
assured by boy employed on the stand,
and by the Waterman that the fire oc-
CURED before the Waterman had attempt
ed to light the lanterns used about the
stands at night The Waterman denies
all responsibility, and declares ne does
not know tie origin of the blaze Mr.
Parsons represented TO Mr. Edison that
he did not consider that he should be held
responsible for the damage to the Gov
eminent property. This. he stated, is not
included in his contract, and he claims
that he had taken all proper precautions,
by providing a Waterman to look after
the stands.
While MI. Edison viii not express an
opinion upon the matter, It is generally
believed that the contractor has DELAYED

placed 1t is understood that Mr. Par
sons. who owned the lumber in the re-
viewing stands, wanted to dispose of the
material before demOlishing the struc-
lures and was awaiting q purchaser who
would agree to take II away Mr.. Par
sons says he did not have possession of
the stands until week ago Friday, and
claims that the time was NOT ample for
