SoPHoMoRES MAKE MERRY
MAROON TWO SCORE OF FRESH.
MEN IN LAKE AT CHICAGO.
Wind Up Wild Hazing Orgy in Cells
for Interfering With Life
Saving Crew.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, September 1J.-SiXty stu
dents of Armour Institute were locked
in cells late last night after two score
members of the freshman class had been
stripped of part of their clothing by the
sophomores and marooned on half
sunken mud scow in the lake off 33d
street.
The sophomore hazers rounded up the
freshmen at their homes early in the
evening and escorted them in parties of
twos and threes to the lake front, where
a dingy was employed to carry them to
the mud scow. Before they were placed
aboard the scow their shoes and coats
were taken from them.
After the last of the freshmen had
been marooned. the sophomores landed on
q small island nearby and started huge
bonfire. Then. with yells and college
songs they proceeded to make merry.
Trouble With Life Savers.
The hazers perhaps. would have es-
capped arrest had they not interfered with
volunteer life-saving crew connected
with the Farragut boat clubhouse, which
Is near the spot selected for the hazing
The life-savers attempted to go to the
rescue of the freshmen. but were pre-
vented by the sophomores. That started
the trouble.
One of the life-savers teiephoned the
Stanton avenue police and Sergt. Sars-
CORD was sent to investigate. One look at
the haif-clothed, shivering freshmen on
the scow and at the singing, yelling
sophomores on the island was enough to
convince him that 1t was too big a task
for him to attempt to handle alone.
Rush twenty-five men to the foot of
33d street." he shouted over the boat
club telephone to the desk sergeant at
the station. In few minutes the blue
coats began to arrive by the wagon loads.
The "sophs' were then arrested.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, September 15.-Gilt-edged in
vestment issues were dull in the late ses-
sion on the stock exchange today. and
home issues closed with losses Of 4 to q
per cent from the best figures of the day.
In the American department prices re-
hected considerable uncertainty. The one
feature of strength on the regular board
was Reading. which sympathized with
the continued advance in New York. Erie
shares assumed prominence on the curb,
and prices advanced a full point, while
other shares were dropping.
The annual report of the Canadian Pa
cific Railway Company in no wise stim-
ulated buying in the company's stock. and
trading in 1t was very dull. Grand Trunk
OF Canada shares showed mixed changes
Of n to 1 per cent. Little business was
done in foreign government bonds. The
Paris and Berlin bourses closed irregular.

Policemen in and out of uniform. who
mingled with the 200 negroes in the city

from being caught in the quarrel. Tools
Of the administration actually taunted the
special men sent here by Gov. Fort for
the raids Of Sunday morning, and led In
the kissing and calling of vile names that
threatened to precipitate riot.
The proceedings were interrupted by
these actions, although Chief Woodruff
and other police officials were within easy
hearing.
The seven alleged principals captured in
the gambling raids were held under bail
for court. In all, there were sixty arrests.
The affair has precipitated fight to a
finish between the police department and
the prosecutor, who declared last night
that he will now fight the gambling fra

''The action of policemen. supposed to
be sworn to upholding of the law. is an
