Been Injured In Class

senior class at Emory university will

Constitution tomorrow morning.
Dean G. C. White of Emory indi-
Gated tonight, according to the story.
that the faculty has reached deci-
sion as to what action will be taken,
but he declined to make it public
stating that in his opinion it would
be unfair to the accused students to
give, the information to newspapers
before the defendants had been ad-
vised of the faculty's decision.
Occurred Wednesday.
The alleged hazing Is said to have
occurred Wednesday night on the
university campus, and resulted in
injuries to Quillan Maxwell and an
other freshman named Gardner. Ac-
cording to statements obtained to-
night by the Constitution from
Emory students, the affair was the
annual freshman dismis sal" which,
1t was stated, is administered to the
freshman class by sophomores each
wear. The procedure, it was claimed,
Is orderly and in no way dangerous.
Among students who have been
questioned by the faculty in connec-
ton with the affair. the story stated,
are said to be the leaders of the sec
ond year men. Members of the Eagle
club and the Campus club, two of
the most influential student organi-
cations at the school, stated that the
most valuable members of the sopho-
more class would be lost If they are
expelled.

Hazing Is Barred. =
Among men said by The Constitu-
TONS story to be implicated are j.
n. Johnson, secretary of the nom
fraternity council, the supreme gov
erning body of the nom fraternity

Private Conferences To De-

LAUSANNE, May 25.-By Associ-
ated Press.)-War or peace in the
Near East is likely to be decided at
private conference tomorrow
originally planned between the Brit
ish. French, Italians, Greeks and
Turks, but now to include all the
delegates to the conference. Jugo-
slavia insisted upon being invited
therefore, the allies decided to in
clude the delegates of Rumania and
Japan, and Joseph C. Grew, the
American minister had to be asked,
as otherwise he would have been the
only one absent.
Allied leaders, describe as critical
the situation growing out of the
Greco Turkish controversy, but they
hope to have the conference on the
basis of some form of territorial con-
cessions by Greece.
Ismet Pasha, the Turkish spokes-
man. is busy communicating with
Angora, counselling moderation. His
government is said to be as uncom-
promising as the cabinet at Athens.

l would choose a rather slender man
of medium proportions. who after ac-
quiring the technique of the game
could take on a little more flesh and
acquire great endurance.

friendship between WI Ting Fang

valuable asset. At great personal
risk because a discovery of his ac-
tivities would have cost him his life,
when he returned to China, Minister
WI induced Yuan Shin kai by Sc

A large international army had
gathered at Tien Tsin and daily con-
ferences were in progress there. Some
of the commanders were disposed to
move slowly, under the belief that a
release could be affected without re-
course to actual combat. At this
juncture came message from Yuan
Shin Kai to WI in Washington say
ing that date very near had been
set by the Boxer chiefs for a ire
mendous onslaught upon the legation
compound and the massacre of all the
legationers.
WI, in haste visited the state de-
partment and laid the message be-
fore Secretary Hay, who in turn
carried it Immediately to the White
House President Mckinley sum-
moned his cabinet in special session
and Adjutant General Corbin was
called in for advice. Then cable
gram was dispatched to General
Chaffee, in command of the Ameri
can forces at Tsien Tsin, informing
him of the whole situation. He was
given a perfectly free hand, though
the issue was actual war.
1t happened that on that afternoon
the allied generals were in conference
at Ten Tsin again debating the
course to be pursued. When the
cablegram was handed to General
Chaffee. he opened and read it, placed
it in his pocket and, rising to his
feet, said
Gentlemen, at daybreak tomorrow

One by one. though not all enthu-
siastically, the other commanders
agreed. and a daybreak began the
famous march, headed by little de-
tachment of American marines 1t

TONERS but few hours before the
