larceny CHARGE
AGAINST A NEGRO
Was Arrested as He Was
Leaving the City.

Arthur Garner has been locked up
at the city jail pending an investiga-
tion of charge OF larceny placed
against him by Roy Crittenden. Both
men are colored. Crittenden rushed
UP to patrolman Westenberg at the
Pennsylvania station at about 10
o'clock this morning and asked him
to arrest Garner, claiming the latter
had stolen $1.25 from him Garner
had purchased ticket and was about
to take train to Cincinnati
Crittenden told the police Garner
had taken the money from a room at
their lodging house. AS soon as he
missed the money. he suspected Gar.
ner and ran all the way to the station
to prevent Garner's departure After
he recovered the money, Crittenden
said he did not care to have Garner
prosecuted. The police do not intend
to let the case drop in that way, how.
ever.

Ear|ham Senior Class Ignores
Rule of Secrecy Regard
ing Its Play.
AN OPEN AIR PRODUCTION
SENIORS ANNOUNCE THAT DUR.
ING GRADUATION WEEK THEY
WILL GIVE "As YOU LIKE IT" ON
the CAMPUS.

u Breaking q custom OF secrecy which
has prevailed ever since Senior Class
Days have been part of the gradua-
ton week exercises, the Earlham class
of 1909. has announced the play which
they will present as their crowning
effort OF undergraduate days. They
will present the famous comedy from
Shakespeare, "As You Like IT. Not
only have they departed from the Gus
tom in announcing the play to be Civ.
en-, but they will present the great
Shakesperian play surrounded by the
natural scenery Of the campus. The
place selected is the slope south and
west OF Lindley Hall, which provides
q natural incline on which to place
the seats. The date Of presentation
will be June IA, which will be the
Monday night Of commencement week
The exercises, which will commem
crate the fiftieth anniversary of the
founding of Earlham College, will
come the following day, SO that 1t will
be possible for the many alumni and
old students, who return for that occa
sion, to witness the Senior play by ar
riving the night before.
Have Worked Hard.
The seniors have been working hare
on their production for the last three
months and, it is understood, they are
obtaining results. However they art
not ready to give out the cast. The
old customs of secrecy came abou,
from the tradition that the Junior
class should do their best to break uK
the program of their rival class by kid
naping the main character or pub
fishing ridiculous accounts of the
play to be given. This custom has
been retired to the museum. where il
Is considered one OF the greatest relics
In captivity. Last year the presenta
ton Of Midsummer Nights Dream
proved such a success that many asket
the repetition of play, saying that they
would have attended had they knowr
that such high class production was
to be presented.

Old Charge Against George
Gay viii Be Quashed by the
Court on Petition of the
Prosecutor.
MISDEMEANOR CHARGE
Is NOW TO BE FILED
Proprietor of the Westcott Ho-
tel Will Be Charged With
Selling Liquor Without Any
License.

George Gay. proprietor of the West
cott Hotel, is to escape further prose-
cution on the charge of violating the
liquor laws under the blind tiger
section of the statute.
He will be prosecuted upon the
charge of selling liquor to be drunk
upon the premises without a license.
The law regards this offense as mis-
demeanor and makes the first offense
punishable by fine of not less than
$50 or more than 500. The old affi-
davit charging Gay under the blind
tiger" section will be quashed upon
a motion Of the prosecuting attorney.
Blind Tiger Law Scored.
Negotiations have been on between
the prosecutor and the counsel for Gay
for some time looking toward this end
The prosecuting attorney recognizes
the futility of prosecutions on the
blind tiger" charge and doubts II it
would be possible to secure convic-
tion by q Wayne county Jury. Three
attempts to do SO have resulted in dis.
agreements by the juries. For pro
fessional reasons. the prosecutor SAID
he did not care to discuss the case. He
did not divulge the nature OF the new
affidavit, but admitted that he and
the counsel for Gay have been in coa.
ferences upon the matter Gays case
was set for trial in circuit court today,
but was not called.
Will Plead Guilty.
1t Is expected that Gay will enter q
plea Of guilty to the charge. His at
torneys offered to enter such . plea to
the first count Of the former affidavit,
but Wilfred Jesssp, prosecutor at that
time. refused to accept 1t. This
count was the same ~ that In the new
affidavit. but another count was under
the section, which made jail sentences
