Criminal Court, Thursday, the case

RumOrs Thick
Rumors were thick today habeas
corpus proceedings in one of the
Superior Courts would be resorted
to in an attempt to get the men
out Of Jail.
Many lawyers were Of the opinion
that withdraw Of the motion to ad-
NIT to bail after the defense had
gone so far as tc subpoena at least
one witness, was preliminary to a
motion to venue the case out of the
county or ask for another judge.
In event the latter Is dOne Judge
Collins would make a list Of five
lawyers. The State and defense
would strike off two names each and
the one remaining would try the
case.
Public Sentiment
Inmans action followed a confer
ence with Stephenson, Klinck and
Gentry at the Jail In some quar-
ters 1t is believed that the storm of
protests against admitting the men
TO bail, which has arisen since the
motion was filed, had something to
do with the action. Representatives

tend the hearing today, and it was
~considered possible that in view OF
Sbublic sentiment that Inman may
have advised his clients that this
would be poor time to make a de.
termined fight for liberty.
The men are scheduled for ar.
raignment Monday. Inman at that
time could file motion to quash the
indictments and a ruling would have
to be made on this motion before
they were forced to enter pleas.
Judge Collins overruled similar mo.
tion recently when the three, were
called to plead to indictments charg.
Ing Stephenson with kidnapping, at
tacl1ing and committing malicious
mayhem upon Miss Oberhorltzer, and
the three with conspiracy to commit
a felony. They then pleaded not
guilty.
Motions for change of Judge or
change of venue may be made at
any time.
Inman said today that Stephenson
was in good spirits in jail and had
adapted himself to the dull routine
Of jail life successfully.

Simon's House. 1t is to be the only
thing of its kind in this locality, and

to devote their entire time and efforts
to this end. They have fitted up the
old house as a modern social service
center, with all sorts of facilities for
instructive work, entertainment and
clinical work. There will be a dis
pensary for the treatment of diseases
of the eye, ear, throat and teeth, emf
ment specialists in these lines being

THE STORY OF THE WEEK
BY Daniel w. Chase
1923 North Fawn Street, Philadelphia, Pa.

The French Government through
certain errors Of French politicians, and
as an outgrowth of the Great War,
finds itself in financial tangle from
which it win not be free for many
years. The great Governments Of a
generation ago have had their fall, as
Russia still sees fred" and Germany
occupies a conspicuous place in the
bread line. Spain cuts down its forces
in Africa. Commercial eyes are seeing
Africa from new angle, as it be-
comes generally known that three
fourths of the worlds gold comes
from African mines, and press dis
patches would have Us know that
peace now reigns Throughout Hon
duras, which. considering that there is
always more or less political unrest in
Central America, is good news. But
and still, Honduras is the worst Of all.
It is interesting to note that there
is to be a more elaborate inaugural
ceremony than previously, and the
chairman of the inaugural committee
has already been named. Almost
10000 persons attended the public re-
ception at the White House on New
Years Day, greeting the President and
Mrs. Coolidge. While awaiting his
turn in line, one man dropped dead.
State politics virtually runs riot as the
speakership rows grow more intense.
Mayor Kendrick has rounded out his
first year as Mayor Of one Of the great
est cities in the world. It has been
an eventful year; If has meant for a
bigger and better Philadelphia. Gigan-
tic projects have been started. Build
ing permits throughout the Majors
incumbency showed that 10000 homes
have been started, which should inn
prove the housing situation here. The
beginning of the Delaware River
Bridge added importance to the de-
velopment Of Philadelphia as an i'm
portant port. The first big storm of
the winter played havoc with local
traffic and left many accidents and
several severe losses in its wake.

the basis that the large majority of
the graduates and ex-stndents of both
institutions give $780, The plan Of
payment will make it possible for the
average graduate and former student
Of these schools to pay the amount re-
commended without working undue
hardships. While special effort is made
to have all the pledges in by April /,
1925, the individual will have three
years in which to complete payment,
if he or she so desires, on the follow
ing installment plans; namely, one
third Of the amount each year.
Governing Influences
Some of the motivating influences
that actuated the conduct Of the alumni
associations in making their contribu-
tons toward the fve-million dollar
fund may be summarized as follows:
THE fund will enable the two insti-
tutions to. develop their advanced
courses of collegiate grade.
The success of the campaign will
reduce the financial burden OF the
principals and enable them to give
more of their time and energy to the
actual development Of the two institu-
tons.
THE combined effort to raise the
fund will make for closer and more
effectual cooperation Of the two insti-
tutions.
THE. committees adjourned feeling
confident that each Hamptonian and
Tuskegian would enthusiastically do
his or her full share in helping to pro-
vide greater educational opportunities
