London, Oct. 1.-The latest reveal
tions regarding the recent designations
from the Cabinet namely, the resigna-
ton of Chancellor Richie and Secretary
for India Hamilton, before they knew
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain had Ia
ken a like step, are likely to rouse a big
scandal. Richie and Hamilton resign
ed because they thought Chamberlain
would remain ir the CabDetand because
they knew Premier Balfour had conf
mitted himself to Chamberlain's policy.
Their friends now feel that Chamberlain
and Premier Balfour jockeyed the two
members out of the ministry. Should a
scandal arise from the occurrence, it is
possible that it would hasten the fall of
the already discredited Cabinet.

Lassies Put Students to Flight.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. Twelve
undergraduates of the city's various

DR.. Eugene Buehler impressed into bis
service senior medical students Armed
with needles and virus, the "medicals"
descended upon the schools. The girls re-
fused to bare their arms to the needles
because of the interference of scars with
the wearing OF short-sleeyed ball gowns.
1t was automatically suggested that there
were parts of the body where the vaccine
would be equally effective. The girls
mutinied and amid great show of indjg-
nation the "medicals" were forced TO de-
part An indignation meeting was held
later, end the young women declared
that the Health Boatd should send men,

CANDIDATES ALLOWED TO TREAT. -
The HenricO County Democratic Com
mittee yesterday reiterated its ruling
that treating to liquor was in violation of
the Barksdale pure electric law, but
held that while Mr. Brauer, who was
refused certificate Of his nomination
for treasurer, was not a man who drank,
but was well known to be opposed to
drinking, Mr.. Wendenburg, nominee for
commemorative attorney for HenricO
county, was an habitual user of liqdor,
and at all seasons was noted for his iber-
ality in treating others. The deduction
was that Mr.. Brauer's treating was due
to an attempt to influence votes, whereas
Mr.. Wendenburg was only observing
his we'll known habit of "setting them
up" to any friends he happened to meet
in saloons. The case against Wenden-
burg was dismissed, and the committee
announced its purpose of investigating
charges against other county officers.
No further steps are likely to be taken,
however, until the appeal in the Brauer
case is heard by the state committee.
