I'VE deplore and condemn the row.
dyism prevalent in some of our state

tions, manifested in class scraps, haz-
ing, tank scraps and degrading forms
of conduct, that has become a fixed
part of the student life in these insti-

I'VE call upon the presidents OF

State Department Refuses to
Ask Favor of copenhag-
en- University.
WILL TAKE NEITHER SIDE
DEPARTMENT THINKS THAT BY
COMPLYING WITH REQUEST
FOR LOOK At COOKS RECORDS
WOULD FAVOR PEARY.

Washington, d. c., Nov. G.--Pefus-
ing to be drawn into the Cook-Peary
pole controversy. the state department
declined request that it cable Ameri-
can Minister Egan at Copenhagen 20
request of the University OF Copenha-
gen permission to examine the records
of DIR. Frederick A. Cook, when they
are submitted to that institution.
The request was made by a delega-
tion from the National Geographical
society. which will appoint a commit
tee to visit the Danish scientific in
stitution. This committee in all
probability will consist of three menu
bers, who already have virtually been
selected. but not yet finally approved.
Confer With Secretary Wilson.
The desire to have the request for
permission to inspect the records go
through the official channels was ex-
pressed at a conference between AS
sistant Secretary of State Huntington
Wilson and Messrs. Gannett, the gov.
ernment's chief geographer; Edison,
former president of the board OF trade
of Washington: Grosvenor, editor of
the official organ of the society: Gore.
and Colville. all prominent members CT
the National Geographic society.
The request was made on tn"
ground that the examination would be
by scientists of attainments particu
larly valuable in the adjustment of the
polar problem and representative not
only of the society, but of scientists
generally in the United States.
Every effort was made to surround
the delegations visit with veil Of
mystery. one Of the members even de-
nying his identity when approached
by newspaper reporter.
Department Stays Out Of It.
The department took the request un-
der advisement and later decided it
could not accede to It. 1t was felt that
such action would constitute official
recognition of Commander Peary as
against DR.. Cook. that any unusual
action on its part might be interpret
ed as an indorse aent of the claim of
one or the other of the two explorers
as to priority Of discovery of the pole
The department has notified Secreta-
ry Grosvenor of the society of its at
titude.
The members OF the committee which
will go to Copenhagen for the Geo.
graphic society will be provided with
the usual letters of introduction from
the state department TO the American
diplomatic officers abroad, asking that
the committee be given all courtestes
or assistance possible consistent with
the official duties of the diplomatic
representatives. Letters Of this char
acter are frequently issued to citizens
of the United States travelling abroad.

The scene Of the crime was visited
by many people from Richmond to-

was organized this morning to hunt
for the two fugitives who made their

place in that vicinity has been thor
oughly searched, but the efforts Of the

their escape on a freight train before
daybreak.
The bodies Of the two murdered

establishment in Centerville. after
Coroner Bramkamp had completed his
Investigation. Many curious persons
