Illinois Supreme Court is expected
to decide in April whether Henry
Anthony Marsh, son of Henry Field,
I'd. and Peggy Marsh. actress, is en-
titled to share in the estate of the

ment after being argued yesterday.

ried in New York to A lbert Johnson,

HEAD OF COLLEGE
ASKED TO RESIGN;
ALLOWED DANCES
Girl Students at Danville
Quit in Sympathy
For President.

DANVILLE, Va, Feb. 12.-Three
pupils Of Avsrett Baptist College left
today and others were threatening
to do so as a result of the stormy
session of the trustees who last
night asked for the resignation of
{. Z. Crosland, for the past three
years president of the college. be-
cause he permitted dancing among
the girls in the gymnasium.
The row" has been going on be-
hind closed doors ever since the
General Baptist Assembly meeting
in Richmond. but the lid went on
with bang last night In the mean
time public sentiment in favor of
DR.. Crosland was crystallizing with
prospective mass meetings to pro-
test over the action and the cash
offers by men of means to start a
new school.
The sixty-eight boarding pupils
last week unanimously signed a
statement showing adherence to and
tatth in DR.. Crosland. After the reso-
lutions asking the immediate resig-
nation of DR.. CrOsland had been for
mally put, DR.. Grant. Baptist rural
minister. suggested that out of
courtesy to DR.. CrOsland no action
be taken for q month in order to
allow his resignation to come un-
asked This carried, but DR.. Cros-
land said today that he would not
resign.
Dr. Crosland is "a. a Rhodes
scholar to Oxford, and a graduate
OF that university. He was principal
OF Fork Union Academy before
Coming here. The dancing frowned
on by the anti-Crosland trustees has
been allowed after supper in the
gymnasium among the girl students
only.
Tonight the student body issued a
statement to the public signed by
every pupil taking strong issue with
the trustees and asserting that the
very men who are opposing Dr.
Crosland on dancing grounds allow
their own daughters to dance in
city affairs. A virtual demand that
Dr. Crosland be retained is made
under threat of the present pupils
declining to return next year.

JEALOUSY CAUSED MAN TO SHOOT
HIS WIFE TO DEATH
DEED DONE IN FLORENCE CO.
Man Escaped to Michigan Side and
Sheriff Waite and Deputies
Aided in His Capture

John Ruzinsky, settler on the Wis
consin side OF the Brule River at
Saunders, shot and killed his wife at
their home on the Ruzinsky farm,
south OF Saunders last Thursday
morning about q o'clock.
Exact details OF the affair are hard
TO get. In q general way II is known
that Ruzinsky was jealous OF his wife
and that they quarreled frequently,
The strained condition was brought
TO a end on Thursday morning when
the husband shot the wife several
times with a revolver.
lt seems that the man had been
brooding over his fancied wrongs
and had made plans for the pulling
OFF OF the crime for he waited until no
one but himself and his wife were in
the house when he did the deed. II
seems that q number of persons had
been at the Ruzinsky home Just pre-
vious TO the shooting.
Escaped 10 Michigan
The man made his escape 10 the
Michigan side and word was sent to
Sheriff Waite as well as to the Flor
ence county authorities. Mr.. Waite
and his deputies went Immediately to
the scene and aided in the search for
the man. The Florence county au-
thorities came 10 the scene immedi-
ately also.
Sheriff Waite returned late in the
afternoon with some definite informa-
tion as TO the mans horrible crime
and HIS escape. There were nine chill
dren in the family, the smallest be-
ing only a couple OF years old. The
couple had quarreled frequently but
nothing more than that is generally
known about them.
The theory that the man escaped
into Michigan was found to be wrong
for late at night a message to Mr.
Waite apprised him OF the capture or
the man at Florence late in the even
ing. 1t seems that he struck of
through the woods TO the south and
walked to Florence village He Is in
Jail down there now.
