FIRE PLOT is SEEN.

SNOW HILL. Md. March 24.-An-
drew and Luther Bevans. brothers
who escaped from their guards, after
wounding them this morning. were
arrested last December after a hunt
OF four weeks and locked up on
charges Of burning the home of John
Burke, a farmer. They were captured
In swamp on the eastern shore OF
Virginia after being trailed by blood
hounds and deputies of Worcester
County and Virginia.
A fire which broke out across the
street from the Jail here this morn
ing is believed to have been started
by friends of the Bevans brothers
in an effort to divert attention from
the fugitives. The blaze, which was
eXtinguished with difficulty owing to
strong wind, menaced the heart of
the town for a while.
Choppers Neck, where the prisoners
made their break for liberty, is an
ideal hiding place for fugitives.
Woods skirt both sides of the State
road for more than a mile, and most
of it is virgin forest with dense under
brush. Only blood hounds could fol-
low d trail through these woods. and
there are places where no man could
follow the dogs.

knowledge there are no chapters
there. Yesterday, however, he heard
that two girls were reported as prob
ably belonging to q sorority with
chapters in other places, and IL 1t is
true, they are the only pupils Of the
school who have violated the regula
ton.
DR.. Elmer S. Newton, principal of
Western High School, said 20 or 30
students admitted memberhips last
october, when cards dealing with the
matter were passed around for sig
nature. Since that time no new mem
berships have come to his attention.
There is one sorority in his school, DR..
Newton thought, but in the fraternal
line the members have connection
with chapters in other schools here or
In other cities.
A debate between pupils on the
fraternity question has been announc-
ed for tomorrow night in Tech High
School Auditorium. under the auspices
or the Agora Debating Society. The
question. Resolved That Fraternities
