More Hints to Freshmen.

Last year in our school there were
traffic laws. A large white stripe was
painted down the center of the main cor
ridor, the remainder of which may be
seen now. Every one was to stay on his
side of the white stripe and the slogan
was Keep to the Right" Everywhere
this rule existed and the halls We're never
confused or congested. When going up
stairs the stairway near the main room
was used. When coming down. the stair
way at the rear of the building was
used.
Why can't we obey these laws this
year? 1t means quicker passage for
everyone.

On Election of Managers.

1t has been the custom of the school
to elect the manager and assistant man
ager of the various teams.
Does it not seem to every one after 4
person has served as assistant manager
that on the year following, he, with his
previous experience, is better fitted to
serve as manager than one who has not?
Give this your careful consideration.
This issue may come to a vote before the
school some day.

Had Also Murdered Assistant Cashier At Grafton National-Two Out Of Party Caught.

Pittsburgh, Jan. 2S.-Walter Joyce and Oren Graeme. Pittsburgh men, arrested yesterday after the First National bank at Grafton had been robbed and Harold Moss assistant cashier had been killed. were today identified by bank employees as two of the party of bandits who committed the crime. Graeme was pointed out by Prank King, janitor of the bank as the man who shot, Moss.
 Seven persons taken in after the bank robbers had escaped from a party of city detectives who had in tercepted them in the north side as they were returning from the scene of the robbery, were lined up in cen tral police station with number of other prisoners Employees of the bank who witnessed the robbery look ed them over, and Joyce was picked out by five of them as one of the robbers.
 King, however, was the only man to say he recognized Graeme. He told the police that one of the ban dits climbed over the top of the par tition separating the cashiers cage from the main banking room and that Graeme was the man. The others agreed that while they could not identify Graeme as the robber they did agree that the man who went over the partition was the one who fired at Moss.

Norfolk, Va, Jan, oS.--A blow reaching velocity of b6 miles an hour early today crippled water front activities here and practically sus- pended shinpings in Hampton Roads.
 Parts Of the business section of the city is under water. Car traffic through several suburban sections has been suspended because of high tides.
 Last nights gale forced both the Virginia and Maryland pilot boats to seek shelter in the inner harbor and foreign and coastwise movements have been suspended until the storm abates.
 Heavy seas are pounding the coast at Cape Henry. Many small craft are anchored in Lynn Haven Roads and larger vessels have postponed sailings until the storm moderates.
 Many dwellings at Willoughby Beach are threatened by high tides. Several cottages are surrounded by water and their foundations are in danger of giving way. Small boats are tied to porches.
 Residents of sections of Ports mouths best residential districts this morning were forced to wade several blocks on leaving their homes owing to the unusually high tide which GOV cred the lower ends of Dnwiddie and North streets to a depth of over a foot in some places.

Winkle Murder Mystery Not Closed Chapter
 Special Agents ShN Investigating Case

Although more than four months have slipped by since the discovery of the lfeless body of Louis Wrinkle in the rear of Main street business block and as yet nobody has been brought to trial for his death, despite a charge of manslaughter which was preferred against Clemens kalkowski the case is by no means ended. The presence of several special agents of the state police department here during the past weeks has given added reasons for belief that the state authorities are still working on the case and are determined to run down every possible clue in an attempt to solve this mystery.
 It will be remembered that follow ing statements to the former prose- cutting attorney and former chief of detectives by Michael Mich, Kalkow- ski, proprietor of a saloon in which Wrinkle was seen the day before his

lifeless body was found, was arrested and finally made a confession" that Wrinkle had fallen downstairs in his sa loon and he had dragged the pros trate form outdoors. believing that the man was simply stunned and not dead. This case was sent over to the super for court and States Attorney Alcorn has been quoted as saying that he placed no credence in this "confes- sion
 Continued presence of special in vestigators lends strength to the belief that eventually there will be additional disclosures, possibly of u more start ling nature. It has also been hinted in some circles that investi gators are not without information as to a possible motive why at least one suspect might have wished to put Wrinkle out of the way. Illicit liquor deals and informa- ton concerning them may play a part in the final solution-if there Is one.

Denial Is Likewise Made By Officials Connected With French Embassy At Washington
London Post Publishes Story That Harding and Hughes Had Refused. to See Jusserand.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-(By Associ- eted Press. .)-Denial flat, and cate gorical was made today by officials at the State department and White House that either Secretary Hughes or President Harding ever had re- fused to receive Ambassador lesser London Morning Post.
 Officials were positive in their statements that the ambassador had been received whenever he had in dicated desire to see the presidnt or Secretary of State, and further de- cared that as M. Jusserand had been held in highest esteem here through out his long period of service it was unthinkable that such report should be published with any expectation that anyone would believe it. ..
 French Also Deny It.
 Denial of the report also was made by the French embassy officials. M Jusserand himself could not be reach cd. being engaged in a conference in connection with the arms discussion, but his secretary said the report was too preposterous to be conceivable and that the embassy was most anX- ious that the denial of it be made as emphatic as possible.
 Diplomatic Rules.
 Under diplomatic rules, it was ex- plained in official circles, an accredt- cd representative of any country is entitled to see the head of the nation to which he is accredited or the for eign minister of that nation when ever the representative desires. The same diplomatic rule gives the ac- credited representative the privilege of immediately withdrawing his let ters of credence and returning to his home should either the executive or the foreign minister deny him an aud fence.

Announcement was made today by the Connecticut Light and Power company that for several months it had been very carefully looking into the question of revising its lighting rates, and that effective after Febru- ary 2S, 1922, revised business light ing rate would be adopted
 The company states that as far as its study into the matter has gone, no justification can be found for a change in the residence lighting rates, which are already as low as possible, consistent with good service. The average rate at the present time is lower than the pre-war rate prevail- ing in 1914, notwithstanding the very large increase in cost of coal labor and other items. According to the company the present rate compares favoraby with other communities, and with the low charge of only s

 Davenport occupied the defense counsels chair during the trial of the case. He cross examined the states witnesses made and argued obiec- tions to the admissiblity of certain evidence, and closed his case with a verbose statement to the court.
 One of the most amusing incidents of trial that was replete with fea- lures was when Davenport took the witness stand on his own behalf, Pro- secutor Woods insisted that his evid- ence go into record by question and answer rather than through an in formal statement.
