The brother informed Mrs. Laura
May Keller, mistress of the planta'
ton upon which he was a tenant,
and she notified Shelby authorities.
The negro's feat in evading the
gigantic posse for nearly three days
was regarded as remarkable by au-
thorities. A dragnet for him had
been extended over all northern Mis-
sissippi, and how the negro eluded
searchers remained unknown. He
was too frightened to talk.
Shepherd escaped from a shack
where he had been quartered on the
prison farm during an influenza epi-
demic early Friday morning, killed
DuvaIl and then abducted his daugh-
ter for "a hours.
The girl stumbled into a neigh
boris house hours later, her clothes

him to death and then abducted and
criminally attacked his 1S-year-Old
daughter.
The order to "get'' the fugitive,

fugitive formally had been declared
an outlaw, and rewards totalling sew
eral hundred dollars were offered for

RAPS ROWE r. PAY

TEACHERS

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 IT .N.s.l.
University and college professors
should. at all times, be free to sex-
press their views publicly and,
under no circumstances, should
they accept "secret" retainers from
public utility corporations, Prof. 4.
McKeen Cattell, one of Americas $
foremost scientists, declared in an
exclusive interview with Interna-
tiona1 News Service today.
He was commenting upon the
case of professors who have been
accused of accepting fees" from
the nower lobby for lectures, papers
and other public activities against
the Boulder Dam project.
Free To Talk
Prof. CatteH is chairman of the
executive committee of the Ameri-
can Association for the Advance.
ment of Science which is in con-
vention here. He is editor of
Science and of other scientific pub
lications. He was formerly a pro-
fessor OF psychology in Columbia
University.

tude of professors on the matter of
where they derive money outside
their regular position" said Prof.
sCattell. at is a question of high
ethical Importance.
Il think entire freedom should
be given to the professor to ex.
press himself. No influence on the
part of the university should pre-
vent professor from expressing
his opinion on the problem of the
control of our natural resources.
Raps Retainers
Neither is there any reason why
a professor should not accept a re-
tainer for his advice for preparing
books or lectures. However, il Is
very tnadVisable for the university
professor to accept a secret retainer
and act so as to forward the interest
Of corporation without it being
made known that he is being paid
for his service"
Prof CattelI declared that the
power lobby has given money to a
famous eastern university. and one
located in the Middle West, for
research in the field of public
utilities.
No conditions were attached, how.
ever, when these bequests were
made, he said. But. in his opinion,
it is not good policy to accept
endowments from public utility
corporations.
Personally, / doubt if it is good
policy" he asserted. "The professor
should feel free to express himself
on public questions. The mere
knowledge that the university by
which he is employed has received
bequests from big corpora tions
might deter him from expressing
his views"
Praises Science
Discussing the value of a con.
vention of scientists such as is now
in progress, Prof. Cattell said:
Science does two things: First,
ii tells the truth about the world
in which we live. That is a matter
of fundamental interest to all in.

has given us the economic basis of
