cation Board Friday for
Reconsideration. d.

The whole question Of allowing
fraternities in the high schools, agi
tated by the Inter-Fraternity Council
VIII be re-opened at the meeting o.
the Board Of Education tomorrow a
the Franklin School at Z o'clock. and
there Is a possibility that the boart
VIII reconsider its extreme attitude.
Following conference yesterday
with q delegation Of the Inter-Fra
ternity Council and business men
headed by Louis A. Dent and Pau
r. Grove, Supt. Frank W. Ballol
suggested q modification plan which
he has recommended the Board OF
Education to consider at it's meeting
tomorrow.
The plan outlined by DR.. BaIlou
to the fraternity men is that of fac
ulty supervision, with membership
In the fraternity or sorority by q
teacher. It was whispered about the
Franklin this morning that the Board
OF Education has not changed its at.
titude toward the frat question as
stated in the ruling abolishing frats
last June.
II the statement DR.. Ballou issued
Is any criterion. indications are that
the chances for a retraction or modi-
fication Of the prohibitive rule are
rather slight. His statement follows:
'"The Board Of Education Is not on.
posed to secret organizations among
mon or women. The board IL not on.
posed to fraternities and sororities In
colleges and universities. The board
10 not opposed to fraternities and 90
rorities in the high schools because
they possess some. Of the common
characteristics Of such ORGANIZATIONS.
The board is opposed to frdternities
and sororities In the high schools
solely because, in its Judgment. such
organizations are not conducive of the
achievement OF the best educational
results in the high schools.
"The Board Of Education IL opposed
to membership on the part Of Junior
any organization, association, club,
fraternity. or sorority whose member.

are required to pledge support of one

whose eligibility requirements for
membership are not approved by
school authorities and known to ali

membership IL they wish: or whose
meetings are not held under school
auspices and under official faculty
supervision. Accordingly. membership

junior or senior high school In an or.

SENATOR'S WILL
: RESUME MINE
PROBE MONDAY
viii Pick Witnesses at Random
Throughout MIngo District
To Hear All Sides.

Despite the efforts TO block fur
ther inquiry made by certain Wet
Virginia mine operators, the Senate
subcommittee investigating the in
dustrial trouble In that State de-
termined today TO proceed with its
probe without further delay.
VIII Meet Monday.
The subcommittee will meet either
in Williamstown or Huntington. W.
Va. next Monday. There was no
division Of sentiment on this point. Il
II understood.
Senator Kenyon. chairman Of the
subcommittee. today stated that he
was anxious to prosecute the investi-
CATION to q conclusion, and that fur.
ther delay would be dangerous. He
believes that the troubles in Logan
county should bs "probed to the bot.
Of the subcommittee to tho West Vir-
einia mine fields win be Informal"
and that no hearings will be held until
the subcommittee has had an oppor.
tunity to survey the situation.
The Kenyon committee will sum-
mon no particular witnesses. Too
often in the past, II was said, inves-
tigating committees have found that
both sides have prepared" for them
by getting witnesses to present par
ticular angles OF the situation which
1t is desired to stress. and by the
preparation Of long canned" ctaie-
ments which reveal little Of the true
conditions.
The committee plans to motor,
through the affected districts, picking
out witnesses at random in the var1
Gus towns through which they pass.
Whether these witnesses are miners,
mine guards, gun men" or whatnot,
makes no difference, Kenyon said. They
will be examined on the ground with
out any previous ''coaching."
II II is found to be uncomfortable
to hold hearings while the trials In
Mingo county are proceeding, Il II
possible that hearings will be delayed
for week or two. Senator Kenyon,
however. will make every attempt to
hold hearings next week.

vost, show girls. who attended the Ar.
buckle party at the st. Francis Hotel,
which had fatal ending.
There was a possibility that one or
two witnesses might be recalled to
TESTIFY. There was also q possibility
that Coroner Leland would afford Ar.
buckle. who has attended all the ses-
sions Of the jury on order Of court, an
opportunity to testify.
This he was expected TO refuse, IN
accordance with the policy of silence
enforced by his attorneys.

The Missouri Pacific railway compa- ny has agreed to cut two ditches ey- tending mile each way from the sta tion, one on each side of its track. where 36 inch culverts will be installed thus furnishing drainage of inesti- mable value to this city. With the cleanup program now in full blast these railroad ditches will serve great purpose, and the action taken by the company constructing the same. is ap- preciated fully by the people of Pres coit.
 On yesterday Inspector Willingham and his co-workers opened an out let for a pool of water near the high school building, which had been standing there for long time. serving rather as summer resort for the MT. and Mrs. Mosquitoes.
