Thus They Stood.
Continued from First Page.)

The two ideas seemed to be that the
agitation was in part unfriendly to
TRINITY College, and in part political, but
that 1t was essential to the welfare of
the college that the right Of free thought
be preserved, and that by standing firmly
against public clamor and for independent
thought victory could be snatched from
apparent defeat and great name made
for Trinity
Senator Simmons, in a mastery speech,
combatted all those propositions with
vlgor and ability. 1t is a thousand plues
that a stenographer could not have been
present to take down his speech so that
all North Carolina could read and ap-
plaud. He declared that the press had not
condemned and exploited the article OF
DR.. Bassett out of hostility to the man or
the institution He said it was lncon-
ceivable that practically the whole press
of the State was of such feeling. The
criticism was not for political reasons,
for the negro was not now a voter, but 1t
was to preserve our civilization and in
response to an imperative demand of our
social conditions. Freedom of thought
was all right, but every man acting IN
representative capacity must IN his think
ing and utterances recognize the interest
he represents and his environments. II
a professor in a UNCONVENTIONAL college
taught infidelity or other things IN con-
flict with the cardinal doctrines of Chris
tianity, his right so to think might not
be denied, but his usefulness and accep-
liability as a teacher in that institution
would end. He insisted, with Illustration
and with power, that it was essential in
the South to maintain our position on the
race question. He went on to say that
a professor who taught the Bassett doc
trine sought to undermine the foundation
of our civilization, and while he might
have the right as an individual. to so
believe and teach his acceptability as an
instructor of Southern youths was at an
end.
other speeches Of like tenor We're made
by DR.. Ivey, Col. Bruton, Mr.. Cole, MI.
Bishop, Mr.. Jurney and Mr.. Tyer. Some
of them argued that it was the duty OF
Trinity College to keep no man in the
faculty for whose utterances it was nee
essary to be making apologies and eX
cuses A college professor ought not to
be making statements that may bring in
jury to the college and reproach on tho
church. The talks were earnest and Wig
orous, but in good tone and temper.
The speeches of the men on the Klgo
side We're long and elaborate, all stress
ing the question of liberty of speech"
and praising Bassett, while not endorsing
his views as expressed in his article. But,
while they insisted that their vote would
not be an endorsement, the boys who
measure actions more than they do words,
celebrated DR.. Bassett's 'vipdication," aud
the common remark here today is ''Dr
Bassett was indicated by the trustees
last night"

A woman screamed, and policeman

The disclosure came when the

President Palma, to break the news
to the head OF the Cuban republic
and reconcile him to the unexpected
acquisition OF daughter-in.law.

given to the elopement by the fact
that Mrs, Palma's youngest sister,
Miss Ethel Jacobs, a student ut the
Harlem high school, had also plan.

Mr. Jacobs discovered her plan and

AGE QUESTION.
Mr.. Mcmillan asked the young PEG.
pie a number Of questions. He was
particular to inquire il they had the
consent OF their parents. The young
lady is alleged to have said:
Eyes, we have; but I'm OF age, any

Young Palma evidently thought
the god Of love would forgive eva

the impression that his age exceeded
81 years. There being no apparent
obstacle to their union, they werp

ineonneetion with the murder OF Miss
Nellie Reichelderfer, who was found
dead in a hogpen on her place neal
Herrin, have made confession, de
claringt they killed the woman for bel
money.
Deputy Sheriff Throgmorton to
gay procured a confession from each
sof them. They said they knew she
recently contracted for a piece oireal
estate and they thought she might
have the money concealed about the
place. They knew she was i'll the
habit each day OF feeding some hogs
which she kept in a pen back OF the
yard. Accordingly, they concealed
themselves in a fence corner about
sevepty.fve feet from the pen to lie
IN wait for her with a Winchester
rife, which they had stolen.
When she approached one OF them
fred at her, inflicting fatal wound
For few minutes she struggled to
Free herself from them, but the bullet,
which passed through her body, soon
proved effective, and she died. They
searched her clothing Tor money, but
we're disappointed.
Unable to find any money they
proceeded to strip the body OF what
little jewelry she wore, They then
fed TO their home in Herrin.
After going over the story OF the
killing in detail they told where the
gun could be found, The officers
found it where the prisoners directed.
In their statement they implicated
Emery Weaver, and he has been ar
rested. He denies knowing anything
about the killing.
Price and Graves agree in their
STORY in every particular, except that
they each accuse the other OF firing
the shot.
Weaverhas been arrested and plac-
I'D in Jail. The sheriff removed them
from the Jail and guarded them in
the woods last night for fear Of mob
violence.

ONE MAN DID 1T ALONE.
Poured Io7 Barrels Of Bacilli Into the
Chicago Canal.

st. Louis, March 2o.-Edward
Ravold, ex-cowboy and mining en-.
gineer OF Arizona, a brother OF the
bacteriologist, DR.. Amand Ravold,
was the man who, unaided, dumped
7107 barrels Of imported baciffi pro.
digiosus into the Chicago drainage
canal the night Of November G, 1901,
and thereby enabled his scientific
brother to establish the fact that the
germs floated down to st. Louis.
After DR.. Ravold had imported and
propagated the bacilli he was at a
loss to secure someone to dump them
Snto the drainage canal and carry
suthis plan.- Almost on the point OF
giving up the project, he thought OF
his cowboy brother and sent for him.
For the compensation Of 1925 the
s1rother consented to perform the
work. The barrels we're loaded on
-swo fat cars and transported to La
mont, iii. Meanwhile, thee cowboy
already had gone to Lamont and be-
come acquainted with the situation.
When the barrels arrived, he alone,
and unaided, rolled the entire 107
barrels to the drainage canal, opened
the bungholes and poured the
squirming contents into the channel.
He worked quietly all night and the
Waterman found the empty barrels
along the canal bank the next morn
ing. Ravold then returned to St.
Louis and has since been living here.
The facts in the matter were kept q
secret until after DR.. Ravold's testi.
mony before the drainage canalcom-

consented to relate the details. y.
