100 SLAIN IN FORTRESS WRECK.
Managua Explosion Fatal to Many,
but President Is Safe.

Managua, Nicsragua.-Th exple-
sion in the Fortress La Iona on Tis-
capa hill, overlooking Managua, Wed
nesday, killed about 120 persons,
mostly soldiers. One hundred and
seventeen bodies have been taken
from the ruins, including those Of
woman and a boy who were selling
fruit to the soldiers.
1t is officially stated that the blow
ing up of the fortress was due to
political plot. Many Liberals, sup
porters Of ex-President Estrada, have
been placed under arrest.
President Adofo Diaz, against whom
the plot is said to have been directed,
his ministers, and others identified
with the government escaped injury.
Troops are guarding the palace and
public buildings and detachments of
cavalry are patrolling the streets. The
capital is practically in a state of
siege.

FRkTERNlTIES MUST QUIT
Trustees Dec de That Secret So cie-
ties for Men and Women
Must Disband.

Ripon.-By a resolution of the
board of trustees, published in the
monthly bulletin, all fraternities and
sororities in Ripon college will be
abolished with the close of the pres
ent college year.
There are two fraternities and
three sororities in Ripon college, but
none of them have national charters.
The action was entirely unexpected
at this time, though it was rumored
last fall that the board was adverse
to the organizations. The resolution
is as follows:
'Ripon is a nonfraternity college.
1t was so at its foundation and was
maintained as such for many years.
Recently there has been a tendency
to establish local organizations look
ing toward the foundation of frater-
nifty chapters.
BY an act of the board of trustees
in the present year the policy of the
college is to remain nonfraternity
college. The present organizations
under the names of fraternities and
sororities will go out of existence at
the close of the present school year"
No reason is given except a gen
eral statement that the dormitory
and commons system at Ripon is such
that there is no need of internal
cliQues. However, there has been
much trouble during the last two or
three years. The battle between the
''barbs" and the ''frats" found its
way into every department of stu
dent activities and in athletics, es-
peciaIIy, caused considerable dissen-
sion. An open clash was feared a
year ago.
