FACULTY and students of the institution,
but among citizens generally.
According to the best information OBJ
tainable, the young woman found the me-
gro crouched in her room when she re-
turned to the apartment after having
been to the dining han for supper. When
the intruder saw her he started to run,
and although she endeavored to detaf.l
him, he pushed her roughly aside and
ran huriredly down the hall. Several
members tried to stop his flight, but
their efforts proved unsuccessful and he
escaped in the darkness. Officers are
endeavoring to find the negro, but have
so far met with no success in their effort.

Democrats AnSUer Attacks
Made on Appropriations
Of This Administration
National Chairman Shows That These Are Mere
ly Part of Plan to Batter Down Constructive
Work Accomplished Since Wilson Has Been
President-G. O. P. Figures Are in Some In
stances Misleading
Nv HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington. October 11.-(Specia1.)
"Fair-minded, progressive citizens
said Vance c. Mccormick. chairman or
of the democratic ma tional committee,
in q statement mad public in Wash
ington today will find that the at
tack upon the appropriations made
by the democratic Congresses under
President Wilson is merely part of the
attack upon the constructive work done
by the Wilson administration.
THE increases of appropria tions un-
der President Wilson over the total
under the last republican administra-
ton represent appropriations made to
prepare the nation for defense; to pay
the costs of maintaining essential new
public agencies of the highest utility;
and to meet the additional expenses Of
the government inevitably resulting
from the growth of the country and
from the expansion of many govern
ment activities on account of the I'M
precedented prosperity of the nation.
I'm some cases, the attacks on the
appropria tions have involved mislead-
ing or substantially false figures. In
all cases, however. these assaults fall
to the ground in the face of the fact
that the republicans in Congress share
with the democrats the responsibility
for the appropriations. All the re-
publicans in both branches of Congress
voted unanimously with the demo-
Gratis for the passage of several of
the appropriation measures which con-
tribute most heavily to the totals now
assailed. Many republicans in both
houses voted for all the appropria-
ton bills. In no case, has money been
appropriated by purely partisan
vote"
These statements of Mr.. Mccormick s
are quickly verified by an eXamina-
ton of the record Of expenditures by
Congress- AS to republican insincerity,
Senator Thomas S. Martin of Virginia
laid bare the truth September Z, in
the Senate. AS chairman of the Senate
committee on appropriations, Senator
Martin had made the routine statement
of appropriations and Senator Francis
E. Warren of Wyoming, servant in the
Senate Of western wool and mining
interests, as usual with him struck at
progressive government by making a
typical assault upon democratic ex-
travagance."
THE APPROPRIATIONS

eff the senator will permit an interrupt
ton, will say that he is a member of
the committee on appropriations; and If
any Of these appropriations were ex-
travagant or improper it seems to me he
ought to have made his voice heard in the
committee I do not recall, however,
that in a single instance his voice has
been raised to protest against single
appropriation that has been brought be-
fore the Senate by the committee on APP
preparations"
