The mystery was solved yesterday
with the Identification of the cloth
ing as that of Joseph White, so,
who was killed in a weight lifting
contest at Great Falls, Va, last
Sunday.
According to police the clothing
was given by Whites widow to an
unidentified colored man. Appar-
emily his superstition got the best
of him and he threw the box con-
tanning the garments away.
They were identified by Joseph
Burdine, a Conduit Road merchant,
who said he had heard of the box
of clothing through the newspapers.
White was injured when he fell
and struck his head on a rock.
His companions took him to George
town Hospital where he died the
same afternoon. Clashes in the
clothing were made to enable the
physicians to use a stethoscope.

SMITH PARTISAN
FACES CUSTER
!. BY COLLEGE
-Phot0 "a International

Because he espoused the candi-
dacy of Gov. Alfred e. Smith and
rebuked ''bigotry and intolerance"
in the recent Presidential campaign,
DIR. Edward T. Devine may be
forced to retire as dean OF the
graduate school Of the American
University in the near future, it
was learned today.
There has been a widening breach
between DR.. Devine and a powerful
group within the board of trustees
of the university, which is a Meth
odiSt institution, ever since DIR. De-
vine denounced the religious warfare
on Governor Smith, it is reported.
The issue of whether DR.. Devine
will remain in the university will
be brought to crisis at the next
meeting of the executive committee
of the board of trustees, of which
John C.. Let's is chairman.
DIR. Deyine has determined that
he will not hand in his resignation
and that, If he is to be ousted by the
board for political or partisan rea-
sons, the action will have to be
taken openly. He is reported to
have said that he will not quit
under fire.
1t is understood DIR. Devine main.
tains that his political views have
nothing to do with his status as an
educator and that the sectarian
viewpoint should not dominate the
policy or the personnel of American
University. Various alumni and
trustees Of the institution think diff
ferentIy, however.
The first step apparently aimed at
DR.. Devine came at the last meeting
of the board Of trustees, it is said,
when it was determined to place
| the Graduate School and the School
of Political Science under a single
head. 1t was decided not to appoint
successor to DIR. Albert II. Putney
as dean of the latter school.
| Friends of DIR. Devine hold that
| he should have gotten the appoint.
ment as dean OF both schools. and
that to executive committee has
| been given the task of determining
upon q new appointee, and thus,
automatically. severing DR.. Devine's
! connection with the university.
