Cornell Students
Must Cut Out Strong
Arm Stuff on FreShies

Ithaca, n. Y, April 24.--The fac
ulty of Cornell University has adopted
a resolution condemning the use of
physical force by students to compel
observance of rules formulated by
students for their own guidance, it
was announced here today. The reso-
luton is the direct outcome of the
treatmentof Fred Morelli. freshman
from Utica. n. Y, who was ducked
in Beebe lake by group of students
because he refused to wear the cap
prescribed for first year men by the
student body.
Morelli returned to his home in Cti-
ca last Friday on leave of absence.
During the two days after the incident
he was saved from similar treatment
by the Intervention Of faculty mem
bers.
George Lincoln Burr, historian and
member of the Cornell faculty for 40
years, today threatened to resign as a
result of the Morelli incident. Profess
sor Burr said he feared that if such a
student government has succeeded in
establishing itself, a regime of disor-
der lies before the university.

New York, April 24-Investigators
of the Wall street bomb explosion last
September, continued today their
search for associates of Tito Ligi,
identified yesterday in Scranton. Pa,
by Thomas J. Smith of BROOKLYN, as
the man he had seen arguing with the
driver of the death wagon a few min
utes before the explosion.
Department of Justice agents and
the Scranton police concentrated
their efforts to locate woman, who
is believed to have been Ligi's sweet
heart. They visited towns and settle
ments near Scranton in an endeavor
to pick up a trace of the woman.
The New York police continued
their investigation of the suicide yes
terday of Adolph La Sar, in Brooklyn.
La Sar left notes purporting to as
sumo partial responsibility for the
explosion. The main purpose of this
action was to ascertain if the dead
man was aligned with any anarchis-
tic bodies. It has been suggested,
one police official said. that La Sar
may have been a member of the Ma
latesta Gallieni band, a Paterson or

No immediate eXtradition proceed

Jurisdiction of New York will be in
