SCANDAL STORY DENIED.
Romance of University Settlement
Declared Without Foundation.

Eunhatic denial was made yesterday by Pro-
fessor James H. Hamilton. Of the University Set
Element. to the story printed yesterday wh1cn
charged that all sorts of scandalous proceedings
had taken place at the Settlement The story par
ticularly involved the former assistant headworker
Kellogg Durland w Patten Bethune, reporter
for a local paper, who had conducted a class OF
boys at the Settlement, and Miss Edna McCaugh-
trey of No. 152 West 49th-st., who had charge OF
the girls clubs at the Settlement.
Professor Hamilton declared that. while all three
had left the Settlement, this had not been due to
any of the alleged scandals. He secuted the no.
ton that Duriand had fed to escape the threat
ened violence of Miss McCaughtrey's friends and
said that he was at Woodbne. n. J., investigating
the Jewish colony there He declared that SO far
as he knew none of the alleged disgraceful pro-
ceedings had taken place and that he knew
of nothing rejecting upon the character of any or
the persons whose names were used In connection
with the story.
Professor Hamilton said that he would refer
the whole matter the Settlement council, of
which Henry W. Taft is president. for investiga-
ton.
1t is the belief of those connected with the Set
Element that the story was put out as the result
of private quarrel between Duriand and

orally disbelieved at the Settlement
The various details of scandal connected with the
Settlement life are declared to be absolutely I'M
true AS a matter of fact neither Bethune nor
Miss McCaughtrey lived at the Settlement at any
time Professor Hamilton said:
l wish 10 deny most positively that there is any

dents rooms Nothing OF this kind ever happens.
our meals are always taken in the common dining
room in the usual way. There is nothing In our
