of the editors and managers of the
different college publications and has
come to be one of the big events of
the college year.
The conference has in former
years been held in the spring, but
this years committee, feeling that
more good would result to the edi-
tors attending by having the meeting
in the fall, when the papers are be-
ginning their work for the, year, have
advanced the dates to November.
Judging from the replies received
from the schools which will be rep
resented, the change in the time of
the conference has met with I'M
qualified approval.

been in the hands of n committee of
Kappa Gamma Phi members, COM
posed Of Robert T.. Turner of Wal
pole, Mass, business manager of the
Campus, the university weekly
newspaper chairman; John II. Ma
honey of Ellsworth, managing edi-
tor of the Campus; Henry WEIGH of
Portland, intercollegiate editor, and
Robert Tate of East Corinth The
committee has been assisted materi-
ally by Mr.. r. Il. Patten of the
Skowhegan Independent-Repor
who is a firm believer in the bene-
fetal results of the conference to the
school papers which are represented.
Mr.. Patten has charge of arrange
ments for speakers from outside the
university.
The convention will open Friday
morning with registration of dele
gates. This will be followed by a
meeting at which the principal
speakers will be acting President H.
S. Boardman of the university and
DR.. H. M. Ellis of the English de-

Women "Next" In New York Barber
Shops Gust Mere Man

New Orleans women may be
agitating for equal rights in barber
shops, remarked the man with the
two days growth on his face, to a
friend down town, but in this city
they seem to have 'em, and without
any fuss either. Last night and the
night before I visited a shop in my
neighborhood. I wanted a quick
shave and shine, but as you will
notice, got neither. Every chair
except one of the four in the shop
was filled with woman, and that
one held a small boy.
II sat down to wait with three
ether women, but by the time these
three were in the chairs and I'd
heard them give their orders knew
there was no chance for me. But
thank heavens, they haven't invaded
the shops down town yet.'-New

testimony" and retract her former
statement before that tribunal.
Mrs. Lansdowne, however, was not
interrogated directly as to the motive
Captain Foley had in mind when he
sent her the statement nor did she
testify that 1t constituted an attempt
on his part to have her give false
testimony. She did tell the court
that the statement falsely represent
ed her attitude on the Shenandoah
disaster and was an insult to her
husbands memory.
Under cross examination by the
court, the witness reluctantly admit
ted that she received Captain Foley S
statement from Mrs. George w.
Steele. Jr.. wife of the commandant
of the Lakehurst air station, and an
intimate friend. She testified, that it
bore no signature. not even a mark
to show that it came from the navy
department, and that she had de-
stroyed the paper.
Her description of the statement
and its contents was given from
memory and admitted as evidence,
despite objections of the prosecution.
Mrs. Lansdowne reviewed the con-
versation she had with Captain Foley
when he called at her house two
nights prior to her appearance be-
fore the naval court. She said she
had never seen the officer before.
Asked If other naval officers had
visited her since the Shenandoah
disaster, she named Captain Walter
r. Gherardi, aide to Secretary Will
bur, adding that he had visited her
September A at her home in Lake
wood, N. ].
She denied to Captain Gherardi,
she testified, that she had said,
shortly after the disaster, that the
secretary of the navy personally was
the murderer of my husband"

Five unidentified bodies at morgue
in New Brunswick, N. J.
At the point where the accident
occurred the tracks are straight for
nearly ten miles. Along this level
stretch, railroad men said, 1T has
been the custom of trains running
behind schedule to make UP some of
their time and this was said to have
been the case with the st. Louis
train today.
The Washington train was, trail
ing along at about ten miles an hour.
One report was that engine trouble
had developed in the locomotive
causing the necessity of proceeding
cautiously. Another was that 1t was
oCN Oh minutes VI oSiiNuoiN'
that 1t had come to a dead stop and
that the flagman had gone ahead to
learn II the st. Louis train had
passed the point.
The heavy fog Is said to have OBJ
secured a cautionary signal and also
a stop signal.
The resounding crash was felt the
full length of both trains and those
who escaped injury hurried from
their cars to offer what assistance
they could. Timothy Carroll, of
Jersey City, engineer of the st. Louis
Express, miraculously escaped be-
ing hurt and after the crash scramb-
led from his locomotive and ran two
miles to Plainsboro to report the &C
cident. News of the collision was
quickly relayed to Trenton, New
Brunswick and Newark, and doctors
and nurses hurried in automobiles
from all places in the immediate vi
cinity of the wreck. Several nuns
from st. Francis Hospital, Trenton,
also responded to the call for help,
and one of those, Sister Lea, proved
herself a heroine./
Reaching the scene of the disaster
several bodies could be seen through
the shattered windows of the car,
and among them was Arthur w.
Gross of Schenectady, alive and con-
scious and pleading for assistance.
Sister Lea, risking her life, crawled
through the window and continued
to administer stimulants to the man
while rescuers worked to free him.
Acetylene torches were brought into
play to cut through the mass of
twisted steel which held Gross fast
up to his waist. 1t was afternoon
before he was released and taken to
a hospital at New Brunswick where
he later died.
That the fog was directly respon-
sible for the wrec,l was intimated
in a statement to newspapermen by
F. 3. Davis, superintendent of the
eastern division of the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad. 1t was stated that indi-
cations pointed to the belief that the
st. Louis train had passed eau
tionary signal two miles south of
the wreck and also had gone by a
stop signal.

Rules Cannot Hold
Aliens Who Have
Entered Illegally

Fergus Falls, Mimi, Nov. ~
(AP)-Federal Judge w. A. Cant
decided today that the department
of justice cannot detain the immi-
grants who have entered the United
States Illegally and dismissed
charges against nine men held in
that connection.
The decision means, 1t was ex-
planned, that IS prisoners now serv-
ing terms in Leavensworth peniten-
tiary for illegal entry will be SIM
ilarly released as soon as the gov
eminent annuls their cases.
The department of justice officials,
upon hearing Judge Cant's decision,
which was rendered in the case of
Steffen Flora, abandoned efforts to
detain other immigrants who enter
ed the country illegally. a.
Flora's case recently was taken to
the United States circuit court of
appeals and that body decided that
the penalty clause of the immigra-
ton laws was unconstitutional. After
this decision the department.. of JUS
tice officials detained Flora and his
case was brought into United States
district court here.

Aside from the novelty OF its
nailless construction, this Coral
Gables home represents another
unique departure from modern
American architectural practice. It's
structural design is much more
massive and age-resisting than the
great majority Of dwelling strue-
lures that have been erected in
America, particularly in the South.
during recent years. Eighteen-inch
outer walls Of concrete construc-
ton. with inner walls six inches
thick and also Of concrete, are cali
culated to outlast by centuries the
wood or metal frame and stucco
walls OF so many OF the private
homes being built in this day.
Something New In Building i
Even in Coral Gables, which from
a structural and architectural
standpoint is one of the American
wonders. this house without nails
has attracted considerable atten-
ton and no little speculation
among architects and builders.
Does it mark the beginning Of q
new architectural and structural
era in American tropical homes, or
is it simply q novelty? That is a
question to which only time will re-
veal the answer. Neither archi-
tects nor builders seem to have the
solution. The construction method.
however. will be followed in some
instances. The permanency Of
such construction and the insur.
ance that those thick walls provide
against the effects OF outside heat
and moisture ON the interior Of .,
dwelling will haye, an appeal to
many who may not have to weigh
50 carefully the first cost, on one
hand. and the reduced upkeep and
constant comfort on the other.

Although 80 years or so have pass

Athletics were not then on the

One night fairly expensive sign
disappeared from a store front down

The solitary night Waterman. an
old man who was accustomed 10
make his rounds armed with heavy
cane and lighted lantern, did not
see fit to report what little he
knew of the affair until after he had
had his nap the next day. so 1t was
evening before the president OF the
college learned that the sign was I'M
doubtedly somewhere on the campus
and the college authorities were ex-
pected to produce it.
A committee of investigation. con-
sisting Of the president and two pro-
fessors, was assembled. They de-

every student was supposed to cut
up his own wood in those days-he
smashed the sign in two or three
pieces and threw them on the fire jr
his wide fireplace.
Before the flames had fairly reach
ed them the search committee neared
the door Of the room. The president
had raised his hand to rap and de,

was arrested by the sound of Wig

occupant obviously was engaged ir

"And, o Lord, we especially implore

PRESERVATION OF AMERICAN LIBERTY
DEPENDS ON SUPPORT OF The CHURCH
Ex-College Head
Protests He Has
Not Been Cremated

Chicago, Nov. 12-(AP)-An iden-
tification mystery, along with charges
of exorbitant undertakers fees, was
given the police today in letter
from James A. Boyce, Denver bust
ness man, who emphatically denied
that 1t was his body cremated here
last month. He formerly was presi-
dent of Defiance College, Defiance,
Ohio.
Boyce's daughter Myrna, who is a
professor of history at Transyl-
vania College, Lexington, KY, came
here because papers bearing her
fathers name were found in the
clothing of a suicide along with a
letter requesting cremation. Under
takers identified the man, who had
been shot to death, as one who had
inquired 10 days before about the
price of cremation
Boyce declared he had left Chi
cago October 10, by automobile for
Kansas City. He demanded a full
investigation, declaring his daughter
had at first refused to identify the
body but in her grief had yielded to
demands and paid bills presented.
