Three Augustana Sophs Hazed
by Group of Indignant
Freshies.
CLAIM CLASS SIGHTED
of Date for Debate Leads
to Opening of HOstiiities
at College.

Sophomores and freshies are again
on the warpath at Augustana, with the
freshies as the aggressors. Walton
Kempe, Ingve Joranson and Tage Jor-
anson, sophomore debating trio, were
given a thorough hazing by the infants
last night. The reason for their doing
this, the freshie.s claim, was to show
the sophomores that they will not al
low any class TO allure them into de-
bate and then cancel it the evening
it was to take place. The two under
classes were to have debated last
Thursday evening, but the affair was
called off because of some sort of dis
agreement.
Headed by E. V. Froude, freshman
president, a band of 20 stalwarts went
out in search of their victims about 8
o'clock last night. They had little
trouble finding them. The three unfor-
Inmates were then taken to the chem
ical laboratory, stripped of some of
their clothing and a quantity of glu-
cose and linseed oil poured over tEeir
heads. Some paint was then procured
and this smeared over their faces and
other parts of their bodies. When the
freshman prexie raised the shears to
clip the hair of the hapless sophs, the
latter made a strong protest, threaten
ing TO prosecute him for mayhem

The next number on the program
was the cloaking of the debaters in
| three real white nighties-with ruff
fies on-which the yearlings had pro-
cured for the occasion. A photogra.
pher, who had been requested to be on
hand, was then called on the scene
and several flashlights of the unfor-
tunate three were taken. These the
freshies promise TO have on sale TO,
morrow morning.
- Not satisfied with what they had
done, the wicked first year men then

to march through the library and
through the boys dormitory. There
was no sophomore interference AT

Sophs are up in arms today and say
the infants shall not go unpublished
for this insult What measures the
second year men will resort to is q
matter for speculation. 1t is rumoret
that the old custom Of dipping unrulJ

country in the interest of the national
society. Miss Francis, who is a wo-
man of much culture and education,
addressed the members of the local
branch on the plans for the reorgani-
cation Of the national body. 1t has
been proposed TO reorganize the ma

of colleges eligible TO membership is
very limited and many women from
good colleges have asked 10 be ad-

purpose of getting the sentiment and
opinion Of the various branches
throughout the country on this point
that Miss Francis is now visiting them.
The question will be voted upon at
the annual meeting to be held in New

regulate the standard of the colleges to

LYRIC THEATRE.

In these days of strenuous achieve ment and marvellous new discoveries It must be something very special and soul stirring to rouse enthusiasm in a large gathering.
 During the exhibition of a motion picture at the Lyric Theatre, entitled "A Little Spy" the large audience broke into cheers and applause al. ternately, as the action of the story unfolded. The realism of the presen- tation was greatly augmented by the realistic manner in which the me chanical effects were manipulated.
 Adams and Lewis repeated their success of their opening day. Adams has his audience with him from the jump, and his work improves as the act procedes. His facial expression, during the rendition of the various songs, is easily interpreted, and changes with the lines in a very clever manner. His manipulation of the worries is Tightening fast, and his entire offering is of the gilt edge variety. He is ably seconded by Miss Lewis.
 Doc Baker, the character imperson- ator, who has played from coast to coast, and who created such furore here upon his first appearance last year, received quite an ovation. Baker made his customary hit, and a delighted audience insisted on a num- Der of encores.
 Tonight will be the last opportunity of witnessing the renowned Patbe weekly pictorial review of the worlds principal happenings. This picture includes the scenes actually taken Of the terrible flood now deyasting the entire southern country, and various other important events.

AT THE PRINCESS.

To state that the public is inter ested in the pictures pertaining to the wreck of the Titanic would be mild acknowledgment, indeed. Thursday night these pictures broke all records for one shows attendance, and last night the record of Thursday was sur passed. Never in the history of the Princess has there been any one fea- ture that has caught the crowd as has this series of marine views, which show several scenes of the IT. tanic disaster so far as the rescue of the passengers, the lowering and rais. ing of life boats, interior views of the Titanic, together with scenes in and around New York. The pictures are wonderful in many ways and today is the last opportunity the people of this city vii have to seen them.
