CONDEMN CLASS FIGHTS
LAFAYETTE CITIZENS OPPOSED TO
ROUGH CONTESTS OF STUDENTS.
President Stone, of Purdue, Will Seek
to Put End to s'Tank Scraps, and
the Like-lnjured Boys Better.
,ecial to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Sept. 21.-Students
injured in the Purdue tank scrap Friday
night are all able to be out again, with the
exception of John Stephenson, of Chicago,
who is still at st. Elizabeth's Hospital, and
two other freshmen who are suffering from
sprained ankles. Stephenson is still in a
serious condition, although the doctors be-
lieve he will recover. Stephenson is a spe-
cial student in telephones. and has sup
ported himself while in college by working
after school hours for the Lafayette Tele-
phone Company.
1t is expected that President Stone on
Wednesday will make some remarks con-
corning the sophomore-freshmen struggle
and surge all students to assist in putting
an end to the dangerous contests which
take place simply for traditions sake. The
college authorities have never forbidden the
tank scrap" but they have sought to put
an end to it many times. Some of the up
per classmen have proposed that hereafter
the freshies and sophs. instead of batting
in the night on a rough field, settle their
rivalry by engaging IN an organized rush,
the plan being for a certain number of
muscular sophomores to meet the equal
number of freshmen and decide the su-
premacy on the college campus.
Newspapers in the city are unanimous
in condemning the tank scrap" and 1t is
understood that several Of the women's
church societies and the Ministers Asso-
citation will send petitions to President
Stone, asking him to forbid further con-
tests like that of Friday night
There will be no further rushes at Purdue
until spring, when the sophomores will at
tempt to hold the annual class banquet
which last year caused the serious riot at
Columbian Hall.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Sept 21.-The
price of coal at Indiana mines will be adj
vanced not less than 25 cents Oct. /. The
operators of the southern Indiana field say
they are offered that much advance now
by customers who cannot be supplied be-
cause the railroads are unable TO take the
coal brought to Terere Haute by the South
ern Indiana and the Evansville & Terre
Haute. The Southern Indiana has Goa
filling side tracks from here to Linton
which the Vandalia and Big Four have not
been able 10 take. The embargo was lifted
for to-day and some of the coal was moved
forward.
The operators complain bitterly of the
roads, which explain that a lack of motiv'
power is the cause for the blockade. The
operators call attention to the fact thai
they have enough engines to run excur
sion trains in all directions on Sundays
while their regular patrons, the operators
shut down their mines because of lack OF
transportation facilities.
