OFFICIALLY DECIDE
 BUTLER HIGH SITE

Greenville, october 29.-(special.) Official notification was received from the state board of education that the Thames site was officially decided upon for the Butler County High school, provided the Stewart lot can be purchased. The proprietor of the Stewart property has already expressed a willingness to sell the property for school purposes, and final negotiations will be soon made.
 The actual building of the school will be started within short while. A delegation from the city board of education will probably visit Dothan during the next 10 days to look over the new junior high school building that is in the course of construction in that city. Favorable reports have been received from Dothan in con nection with the building, and it is believed that the Butler County Hign school will be built along the same lines.
 The city schools of Greenville are still congested and will not be re- lieved until the Red Cross hut is ready for occupancy. The hut Is be- ing partitioned off and ceiled and new seats are being installed to care for two of the grades, which will greatly relieve the congested situa- ton that has been caused by an un- usual attendance.

 Nothing will be done by the de- fense that can be construed as an attack on the character of Virginia Rappe," MT. Brennan said. "The matter will be handled from the physiological standpoint"
 MT. Brennan is here to examine three Chicago witnesses: pr. Laurice Rosenberg, who attended Miss Rappe during an illness, and Mrs. Josephine Roth and Mrs. Virginia Warren, nurses. who also attended her. Mir Brennan will go to New York Tues day to take the deposition of Lowell Sherman actor who was present at a party staged by Arbuckle at which Miss Rappe became i'll.
