Bethany Students
Go Out On Strike
SEVEN MORE STUDENTS ExPELL.
ED FROM SCHOOL BY THE
FACULTY

WHEELING. Jan. 31.-The appar.
ent peace which prevailed over the
scene at Bethany college the past few
days proved to be the lull that preced-
ed the storm. The students rather
considered the matter a closed book
and were thundredstruck when it be-
came known that seven more pupils
had been expelled Wednesday for in.
dulging in the recent eflgy burning. 1t
took official confirmation to make
them believe the fact and Wednesday
evening mass meeting Of the stu.
dents of both branches OF the college
was held. sixty-fve signed an agree
ment to quit the school and are out
to-day. saying they will not return I'M
less the seven are reinstated. OF those
signing. 25 were girls, and as the total
enrolment of girls is but 80, that sec
ton OF the school Is seriously Grip
pied. Those expelled were:
Edward Pritchard, OF Kent
John Jackson, of Uniontown.
T. n. Smith, of Ohio.
Frank Merriman, Of St. Louis.
l.. Robinson. OF West Virginia.
George Heitz. of Virginia.
c. B. Scott, Jr, of Bethany.
Howard Marshall. of East Liver.
pool. James Chapman. of Claysville,
were expelled Tuesday.
These increased the total expelled
to fourteen. The matter has developd
into a most serious affair and move
ment is on foot to get the trustees of
the college together, as the matter
has grown beyond the powers of the
faculty to adjust.
President Cramblett, OF Bethany, has
taken firm stand in the matter and
1t is believed that he will not recede
from the position he has aiken. AS in
former statement he believed that
this drastic action was absolutely
necessary to maintain the discipline
of the school and 1t is hardly expected
that anything the students can do
will make him relent. There Is con.
siderable interest on what action the
trustees would take should they get
together on the subject.

Thomas j.. Bayard, Esq. Chairman,

mittee:
My Dear sir: I. Of course. could not

sentiment among my friends In this

given for sometime past in favor OF

II would, indeed, be a proud distinction
TO be the standard bearer OF the Demo.
cratic party at this time and for such a
cause. There are many reasons, however
why such a distinction is outside the

compel me to say that I am unwilling
that the delegates from this state to the
Denver Convention be instructed for me

consent thereto. You will. therefore
please convey my wishes in this respect

Mr.. BAYARD'S VIEW
OF THE GRAY LETTER

Speaking Of Judge Gray's letter.
Chairman Thomas +. Bayard. IN an in
terview said:
Judge Gray's letter Is thoroughly in
accord with his consistent stand all
the way through on this matter Of re-
fusing to be a candidate. Sometime
since, Il became we'll known that he
took the position that he would not be
a candidate. but that IL nominated no
would not refuse the call OF his party.
This stand so taken was well known 70
ell OF his admirers, and to-day's letter
in no way conflicts with his past atti-
tude. Because they consider Judge
Gray 70 be the best man the Demo-
cratic party can put forward as its
nominee for this campaign. and be-
cause they believe that IL nominated
Judge Gray viii accept. his friends
have this day IN the Delaware Demo
cratic State Convention deliberately
voiced their intentions Of placing his
name before the National Convention
az Denver in July. In other words, his
friends believe that they have a right
70 call upon his services as a Demo-
lcrat, Notwithstanding his personal de-
sires in the matter an deveryone hav-
ling knowledge Of the judges sound
party fealty Is absolutely certain that

titude Of the minority on he commit
tee on resolutions which is under the

Hanly's address seemed 70 rally the
forces. and then Former Senator Ken

Gray and making an impassioned ap-
peal to the delegates. especially to the
Kent and Sussex delegates, begging
them to forget the PAST, condone Judge

There was considerable applause

chorus Of noes" but the ayes were
largely in the majority.

Then the ex-congressman brought up
the unit rule instruction and 1t was
adopted by about the same vote as the
resolutions. The unit rule is that the
delegation 10 Denver shall cast their
six votes solidly according to the

One Sussex delegate IN the front row
mildly protested that the unit rule was
adopted without discussion and in fact
there did not appeslr to be much chance
for debate but ha did not pursue the
topic and the convention adjourned.
The GRAY men made afterward the
best explanation they could make
about the letter which was dated April

for some time. but some OF the dele
