|NSURGENT RANKS
Most OF the Rebellious Students
Attended College Yes
terday.
OTHERS ARE STILL DEFIANT
Talk Of Finishing Course in
Separate School Under
Mr.. Haynes.
OTHERS ARE STILL DEFIANT

Though they admit that their RANKS
nave been somewhat Duplicated BY inc
return OF certain of their number u
the class room yesterday morning. the
lnsurSent students of tho Massey Bus,-
ness College are still fighting. and.
though they ave not definitely decided
upon their course. one thing they say Is
certain-that they will not return TO
college. Just what their status as re-
CARDS numbers is, seems hard TO as
certain.
Manager T.. l. Layneld stated yester-
DAY that at roll call there wore thirty
Two men missing, seven Of whom were
away on leaves Of absence and would
return The rebels, on the other hand,
say that the total Of a%bsentees was
greater and that n number Of those
VINO reported for their classes would
pc ready to leave the college when
other arrangements could be made.
a meeting was held last night. at
which w. p. Haynes. the discharged
teacher, presided, and at which there
were thirty-two men present. 1t wa.
explained that n business college OF
Norfolk had made an offer to take
them in. 1t was the sentiment OF the
students, however. that it would be
pest to remain In this city If possible.
Mr.. Haynes told them that inasmuch
as they had seen Mt to stand by him,
ne was prepared to lake care Of them
as far as he could, and suggested that
IL IL suitable hall could be obtained,
he would continue the class and make
arrangements for n shorthand teacher.
mere We're several places in view yes
terdaS. but up TO tho time Of the meet
lfsS no definite arrangements had been
made. 1t Is expected that something
definite Will be lone to-day.
Believes Others WIFI Ecnyc.
AIR. HAYNES stated that lie had as
surances from a number of the stu
dents who yesterday returned to the
college that they would be with the
insurgents If they decided to continue
their courses under him here, ana he
Is maktn his plans accordingly. In
the event that 1t is impossible to Sc
cure suitable quarters in this city, the
students and Mr.. Haynes VII prob
Gbiy accept the Norfolk order.
Asked about the terms of the con-
tracts for tuition. which is paid for In
advance and good until used, Mr.. Law
iield said that he could make no
definite statement until after n con-
ference with other members of the
system. lie stated. though. that there
wasUa clause authorizing the omcials
10 revoke the contracts for insubordi-
nation, and personally he considered
yesterdays walkout decidedly in that
light.
The students who remained away
seem to look upon It as though the
bridges have been burned behind them
and that they have severed all CON
n%ection with the college. However. Mr..
LaSfeld expresses the conviction thai
nearly all will return. and the general
hope seems to be that the youths will
take this view of the situation.

ANNOUNCEMENT MADE

While no official statement was is
sued after a meeting Of the vestry OF
81. Pauls Episcopal Church last night.
at which the matter Of selecting a rec
tor to succeed The late Rev. Robert
W. FORSYTH. d. d, was discussed, yet
mere was prevalent among members
or the congregation q report to the
effect that the position would be Of
Tered to Rev. W. Russell Bowie, Of
Greenwood, Albeinarle county. Ger
tainiy Mr.. Bowie's name was the most
prominent of those under discussion.
Members of the vestry said after
wards that there was no definite an
nouncement to be made at this time,
and beyond that those who took pars
In the meeting would not discuss It.
1t is the belief OF some members or
the congregation that the position
has been rendered Mr.. Bowie, and that
no announcement will be made by the
vestry until it is known whether or not
he Will accept.
Chill From Home.
MIR. Bowie was reared IN 81. Paul.s
Church, having been n son OF the late

Branch, of this city, and has a wioe
circle of relatives and friends hero.
Mr.. Bowie is a graduate of McGuirc.s
School, of Harvard University and q.
the Episcopal Theological Seminary, at
Alexandria.
lie is now twenty-eight years OF ag-,
and has for several years conducted
with remarkable success Il mountaiu
mission in tho Ragged Mountains.
He was recently called to The X. T..
Lee Memorial Episcopal Church in Lex
ington, and is said TO still have that
offer under consideration. Some years
ago he was offered and declined the as
sistant rectorship OF st. Pau1s.
He has several times preached at st.
Paul's. Bishop Lloyd and Bishop
Tucker, who nave recently visited the
mountain mission, speak in the highest
terms OF the work Mr.. Bowie has
been doing. According to current re-
port. the vcstry is somewhat divided
not so much over the selection of AIR
Bowie-but as TO the age of the man
who should be called. several members
having stated that they would oppose
calling any man over thirty-nvc years
While others would prefer an older
man, with a more established rcputu-
ton.
If no authoritative announcement Is
Forthcoming soon. members OF the con-
~grcgation expect thai; there viii be
