fourth in the hospital with a pos
Sible skull fracture.

as queen of the engineers ball
brought an attempted reprisal that
ended in gunplay.
BURNS Frederick, law student
who had been identified as one Of
Miss Butterfield's abductors, shot
three engineering classmates when
they tried to kidnap him in revenge.
Frederick, after he had wounded
Frank Luckey of Columbia; Charles
Love of Jefferson City, and Jerry
F. Cebe of st. Louis, was beaten
severely by the engineers. His skull
may be fractured.
Luckey was shot in the abdomen,
and physicians, after an operation,

Frederick faces possible criminal
charges in connection with the

The feud between the engineering
and law school students at Missouri
is of long standing, but always be-

hazings. The engineers became irate
however, when Miss Butterfeld,
whom they had elected as queen of
their traditional st. Patrick's day
ball, was kidnapped. She was taken
to the nearby town of Moberly until
the dance was over.
The engineering students swore
vengeance against her four abduct-
crs and marked Frederick as the
first they we're going to punish. He
had repained in his home for the
last tw& days.

UtiIity'S Attorney Listens to
Distress Story and Makes
Counter Plea.

Story of direct economic distress
in Indianapolis today brought q
counter plea from the Indianapolis
Water Company that the business
not be made to bear any of the
burden through rate reductions.
The depression picture was paint

rate reductions before Harry K.

Witness after witness testified as
to the thousands of unemployed be-
ing fed daily by public or private

When the city completed its case,
the New York lawyer for the water
company, William L. Ransom, ex-
pressed his sympathy.
A tall, prepossessing person, with
conservative clothes and a white
matched head, Ransom expressed
his concern regarding conditions
here with considerable warmth. But
he concluded with a plea to keep
the water rates where they are, and
thus let it be known that sympathy
is all the company intends to con-
tribute.
Another Ransom point at the
morning session was objection to in
