WAR ON AGAINST "FRATS. ;"
Strong Opposition Develops to the
Two Georgetown Chapters.
Blue and Gray Students Taking Sides
ia StruggIe-Guerrilia Tactics in
Favor at Present.

Warfare is on at Georgetown College
over the fraternity question. Strong Op-
position to the two chapters organized
there has developed, because. it is claimed,
they have handled the college elections.
No contamination of the Tammany Hall
type is alleged, but the claim Of the
kickers is that favoritism has been fos-
tered by the fraternities, and that the
suppression of the secret societies IS ab-
solutely essential for the protection Of the
ballot box and other things.
1t is sort of guerrilla warfare at pres
ent, but the hostuues threaten to spread
at any time 10 a point where interven-
ton may be necessary. Secretary Taft

way Of sitting on the seething pot of
rebellion.
One of the chapters, whose perniciOus
influence at the polls is so greatly de-
piored, is branch of a national law fra
ternity; the other has been grown and
fostered in the home garden, but it
has hopes Of becoming q part OF a

the faculty-have taken no steps look
ing toward Intervention so far, but they
are keeuing close watch on the warning
factions, and are prepared to do what
ever may be necessary for the prevention
Of Il state Of anarchy arising.
In the meantime, the insUrrectionists
are cOnhning their operations largely 10
the writing Of denunciatOry letters and
vigorous agitation for the publication OF
the ballot box. The fraternity men arc
themselves with mysterious
signs and grips and the passing OF the
password. They rest confidently. because
they number IN their ranks most OF the
best athletes Of the college.
Il IS stated by those high in authority
that If someone just keeps on stirring
up things sufficiently, Georgetown Col
