EARLHAM FIRES
TWO STUDENTS
FOR J0LL|FY|NC
Norman Peterson and Earl
Kemp Suffer for Locking
Governor Laurence in His
Apartments.
PUNISH TWO MORE

As an aftermath to the celebration
which took place in Bundy dormitory
at Earlham college following the an
nual freshman reception, October II.
two students were today suspended
from the college. Norman Peterson,
a freshman, Chicago, ILL.,, and Earl
Kemp. a sophomore. Kempton, Ind,
were the two young men who left the
college today under direction of Presi-
dent Kelly, with the instruction not to
return before next term.
Peterson and Kemp were called be-
fore the student council, which has
charge Of all student irregularities at
the college, and following an investi-
cation, the council failed to agree upon
a punishment, so that the matter was
referred to the faculty Action was
taken this morning by the faculty COM
mittee.
1t was alleged that Peterson and
Kemp were the ring leaders in the
celebration the night Of the reception.
The specific charge against them was
the locking Of Governor Laurence and
his wife In their rooms on the third
floor Of the dormitory, while the stu
dents joined in a general rough
house" until the wee small hours of
the morning, despite the warning of
the governor, made through the tran
som.
Ask Reconsideration.
AS a result Of the suspension OF the
two students, both of whom were pop
ular at the college, Kemp being the
college yell leader, a petition Is being
circulated among the men OF the col
lege asking the faculty to reconsider
the action and reinstate the men. The
petition was signed by approximately
100 men Of the college this noon and
will be presented to the president late
this afternoon. It is also understood
that at least twenty-five other stu
dents are willing to testify before the
faculty that they had as much to do
with the rowdyism as the two men
who were suspended.
Besides suspending Peterson and
Kemp, the faculty also decided to
take away q scholarship amounting to
s75 from Alfred Hall, a sophomore,
and require three more hours OF credit
before he is allowed to graduate. JAN
ney Hutton, sophomore, was also
given his last warning by the student
council and required to make an apol-
ogy to the governor Peterson and
Kemp refused to make an apology to
Governor Laurence, and this is one of
the reasons given by the faculty for
their suspension.

O'BR|EN'S EXPOSURE
AS FORMER CONVICT
ST|RS INDIANAPOLIS
In Court Action Name Order
ed Stricken Off Demo-
cratic Ticket as Candidate
for Judge.
GRY YLEASED WlRE,1

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. Is
Whether the elimination of John F.
O'Brien, Democratic candidate for
juvenile Judge, following the exposure
Of his duplicity and misrepresentation
in securing the nomination, will bene-
fit or injure the entire Democratic
tickets in Marion county, and the state
of Indiana was the topic of wide
spread discussion today.
John F. O'Brien came to 1ndianap-
oils three years ago from St. Louis
where he had several times been ar
rested and had served q sentence for
larceny. He assumed the name of
Frank X. O'Brien and claimed to have
served several terms in the Missouri
legislature, one term as clerk of Grim
1nal court at st. Louis; had run for
congress, and had practiced law in
st. Louis for twenty years. This
record, in truth, belonged to the real
Frank X. O'Brien, who still lives in St.
Louis.
Upon hearing the case in Superior
Court, Judge Orbison decided that
O'Brien had obtained his nomination
by fraud, and the name Of Newton M.
Taylor, the present incumbent was or
dered substituted on the voting ma
chimes for Frank X. O'Brien."
The affair has created the biggest
sensation that has been developed in
Indianapolis for years.

The pushing back of the Germans

Progressive Candidate Tells
Large Crowd at Wayne
Works His Party Can Give
Prosperity.
HONORS PRES. WILSON
Promises New Castle Audi
ence to Support Execu-
tive's Policies Better Than
Reactionary Democrats.

Ebert Russell, Progressive candi-
date for representative in congress,
spoke to over two hundred employees
of the Wayne Works at noon today.
His audience was most interested
one.
Mr.. Russell told the shop men that
while conditions in this country had
been completely revolutionized since
1900 the two old line parties we're
still discussing issues which were
alive a quarter Of a century ago.
With taking up of all the free land
the American working men. formerly
the best paid and most independent
in the world, had had their only source
Of protection removed. Mr. Russell
said. and he was now in competition
with the cheap foreign labor constant
ly menaced by the politically controll-
ed tariff question, which enc year
gave them overtime work and the next
threw them out of employment.
Party Offers Relief.
With its program for social reforms
to provide protection for the American
workers to take the place Of the free
land they were once dependent upon,
and to provide steady and permanent
prosperity by removing the tariff from
politics. the Progressive party was
now appealing to the workers for their
support. being the only party to offer
any solutions for the questions now
confronting them, Mr.. Russell stated.
At the conclusion of his address sew
eral members of the crowd assured
Mr. Russell that he would poll an ex.
ceptionally large vote among the shop
employees of Richmond as they believ-
ed that he was the only candidate who
had a sane and practical plan for
remedying the vitally serious ques-
tions the Americans are now face to
face with
Mr.. Russell went to Liberty this
afternoon to address a meeting.
RUSSELL DENIES CHARGE.
NEW CASTLE. Ind, Oct. 2S.-El-
bert Russell, in an address before a
large crowd here last night, denied the
assertion Of Democratic speakers that
if elected he would be constantly op-
posed to President Wilson. He said
Mr.. Wilson could depend on him bet
ter than on many reactionary Demo
Gratis. In part Mr.. Russell said:
Il have great respect for President
Wilson and in many important mat
ters l find myself in hearty accord
with his policies. In such cases l have
no disposition to play small politics or
put partisan advantage above public
policies. In fact while l disagree with
the President on some vital matters /
feel sure that on many subjects If
were elected he could count on me to
support his policies better than the re-
dictionaries and bosses Of his own
party. These representatives Of cor
rupt interests have already shown
their opposition to the President and
will tie his hands as soon as and
whenever they dare.
"On all good bills looking to the
national peace and prosperity and the
rights and welfare of the people Pro
gressive Democrats could count on my
support of tho administration meas

Soldiers Against British
Rule in Dark Continent.
REVOLUTION SPREADS

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-The news from
Wet, minister of agriculture for the
Orange river colony in the Union of
South Africa, has Joined the rebels
and will lead armed forces against the
British made it plain today that the
Boer uprising is more extended and
more important than was at first
thought.
General De Wet gained fame as a
Ioldier in the Boer war and is a man
of great influence His disaffection
is the hardest blow that has been
struck at British rule in South Africa
since the days of the Boer war.
1t is believed that the first rebellion
may be crushed, but the uprising Of
General De Wet is the cause for real
alarm There was much activity at
The colonial office today and many
messages passed between London and
Capetown.
Kitchener Hurries Troops.
II Is understood that Earl Kitchener
has advised that heavy force be sent
against the followers Of General De
Wet in west Transvaal and Orange
river colony IN OrueT 10 wipe OUT
traces Of sedition before it can grow
beyond it's present scope. The quicker
the rebellion is put down, the easier
It will be to control South Africa, &C
rording to Earl Kitchener.
The chief lieutenant Of General De
Wet is reported to be Brigadier Cen
eral Frederick Beyers, who, until re-
Gently, was the commander of the cit
izen forces Of defense in the Union Of
South Africa. He too is man of
great popularity among the Beers OF
the old regime.
One of the main fears which now
besets the government Is that the Hin
doc laborers and dissatisfied workmen
In South Africa will rise in revolt
These classes have been grumbling
against the government ever since the
general strike was put down by mill
tary forces.
