Bowling Green. KY. April "A highly
sensational episode occurred at Potter Col

girls. Saturday night last. the details of
which were suppressed till to-day.
Five young society swells. between 12 and
l o'clock at night. drove in a closed car
riase to the entrance OF the college cam
pus, and. by previous engagement with
the girls they were to take out by means
of ladders enabled four young women to
leave their bedrooms and reach the college
grounds. But as the fifth was descending
the ladder. the Reverend 3. F. Cabell, presi-
dent OF the college. awakened by the noise
went to the part Of the building from which
the girls were leaving and commanded the
men to depart.
A pistol shot rang out clear as a signal
to the president to leave. but he fired the
contents of n double-barreled shotgun at
the young men. who in turn fired volley
after voliey from pistols. driving Doctor
Cabell back into safe quarters in the build

that the young men were compelled to leave
and the girls to return to their bedrooms.
The Grand Jury now in session has been
asked to look into the case.
Indictments are expected.
Potter College is one Of the leading female
colleges of the South and has been
patronized by people of wealth
throughout the South. Nothing has
happened in this section in months
that has resulted in such sensa-
ton. The young women who are impli-
Gated in the dsgraceful episode are as
prominently connected as the young IN.
This is the first time in the hist Y OF
Potter College that anything has happened

young men accused are in hiding, and per-
sistent efforts of rich parents and influen-

NOT MANY SEEKERS
AFTER APPOINTMENTS
Office of Sergeant-at-Arms of
House and Council Attracts
Candidates.

When the newly elected Democratic OFF,
cials are installed in office in the next two
weeks there will be about go appointments
in the various offices to be made as soon as
the heads Of the departments may choose to
make them OF course, IT will be impossible
to make these many appointments immedi-
ately. it will be necessary to break in the
men by degrees.
The appointments in the Council and the
House will be made Saturday when these
bodies are organized. The Mayor will be
| inaugurated Tuesday. and will probably an
rounce the particular appointees of his Of
| flee on Saturday. Thus far he has not def
| initely determined upon any of them. He
said Thursday that he had been so preoc-
| cupied with other matters that he had CIV
| en- the matter Of appointments no considera-
| tion. No applications for the appointment
of private secretary have been received by
him, and no recommendations will be made
by any representative Democrat. The mat
| ter is considered a purely private one and
the universal sentiment among the Demo-
Gratis Is that Mr.. Wells should be left to
exercise his private judgment in the mat
ter, free from outside suggestions or RECON-
mendations.
A great number Of these appointments
will not be made for several weeks yet, and
| It was tacitly agreed between the different
candidates before the election that at some
| convenient time they would meet and agree
| Upon the distribution of the patronage that
| would be at their disposal.
One appointment that was generally con-
sidered certain was that Of Waller Edwards
to one Of the secretaryships in the Office OF
| the President Of the Board Of Public I'm
provements.
The secretary Of the Council has not been
decided upon. Guy Goltermann is men,
| toned as assistant secretary. He has the
Endorsement OF the President of that body,
| several members and also influential citi-
| zens of the town. Thomas F. Brady of the
First Ward is a candidate for sergeant-at-
arms OF that body. He has held the posi-
| tion on three previous occasions.
In the House Of Delegates chief clerk,
assistant clerk and sergeant-at-arms are
I to be appointed. Lively contests for these
| offices are in progress. Dennis A Ryan, Gus
| todian Of the Custom house. and John
Stuessel are candidates for the chief clerk
ship. The result is doubtful. and it now
seems it will depend upon the result Of the
| contests in the Twenty-second and Twenty.
| fourth wards.
Nick Griffin, City Central Committeema
| from the Fifteenth Ward. is slated for the
assistant clerkship. Mike Howard and Jim
Mooney are candidates for the position OF
| sergeant-at-arms of the House. Both are
| saloonkeepers the former at Tenth and
| Market streets and the latter at Tenth and
| Chestnut streets. Both have already served
| as sergeant-at-armS in former sessions OF
the House of Delegates.

Opinion in Art Circles Divided as
to His Structures.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York, April 4.-The address OF Mr.
John w. Alexander to the Art Students
League. wherein he took occasion to score
New Workers. for their lack Of apprecia-
tfon Of art was much commented upon by
artists to-day. Mr.. Alexander said that
Philadelphia. Pittsburg. st. Louis and Chi
cago took more interest in art than New
York did.
Opinion among local artists was divided
to-day. Several heartily Endorsed Mr.. Alex
ander's views. and said that the attitude of
New Workers toward art was shameful. As
Il result. provincial cities were actually out
stripping New York, the metropolis. in this
respect. Others declared that they could
not believe Mr.. Alexander had said such
things-that he must have been misquoted.
