NORMAL SCHOOL
LEADERS RESIGN
Quit After Dean Is Fired
in Probe of Alleged
Diploma MILL

Central Normal College, Danville
today had new president, DR.. c. H
Griffey, and new registrar, Chester
ElSon, Danville high school
teacher, following an investigation
of charges that a former dean had
operated an alleged diploma mill
in the school.
Trustees have Cancelled the con-
tract of Dean N. w. Pinkerton. The
designations of President Waldo
Wood and Registrar Valentine
Pleasant have been accepted.
"The school board exonerates
President Wood and Mrs. Pleasant
from any alleged irregularities. Not
dollar paid out for credits has
been paid into the school, declared
Otis E. Gulley, school board chair
man.
DR.. Pinkerton, who had taught
at Central Normal 10 years, could
not be reached but he is said to
have denied the charges in state
ment to the State Board of Educa-
ton and its Investigators.
"All of my acts were done by and
in the knowledge of DR.. Wood and
sometimes at his demand. If any
credits were sold, don't know by
whom or for whom" he is said to
have declared.
Seven Statements Claimed
Meantime, the teachers licensing
division of the Board of Education
through Clarence l.. Murray, direc-
tor of teacher training, disclosed
that further inquiry into diplomas
and licenses issued by the school
would depend on the action of the
State Board of Education meeting
in June.
Floyd I. McMurray, state super
intendent of public instruction, de-
clared that he believed not more
than 20 licenses of teachers were
involved, and that in only seven, or
possibly 10, had money been paid.
He said licenses of Central Nor
NAL graduates would be studied as
they came before the licensing di-
vision
Mr.. Murray said that statements
had been obtained from seven stu
dents of the normal school, and that
in four of these it was alleged that
money had been paid for credits
which were not received or for
school work which had not been
done.
President Wood denied charges OF
DR.. Pinkerton that he knew of the
alleged sale of credits.
Gov. McNutt said today he hao
known of the Danville situation fol
some time and had urged the State
Board of Education to clean out
the school.
81 think a thorough investigation
should be made of each case where
money is alleged to have been given
for credits not earned. do not be-
lieve the licenses should be revoked
without hearing" he said.

TUCKERTON, N. j., May 26.-A
forest fire which burned five men
to death and ravaged $1,000 acres of
cranberry bog and shrub timber
land was burning itself out today.
Unless wind arises and whips the
dwindling flames over fire lines
hastily dug up by 1000 men that
battled the forest fire for "a hours,
danger of additional damage ap-
peared remote.
A half dozen fires smouldered in
five southern New Jersey counties
but the most destructive blaze was
between Tuckerton and Chatsworth.
This fire started Saturday night and
reached its peak shortly before last
midnight, when it trapped a group
OF CCC workers and volunteer fire
fighters. Eight men were burned
seriously. They were treated at hos
pitfalls.

ROME REVIEWS
TALK OF WAR
Use of British Cruiser by
SeIaSSie Seen as
Cause of Anger.
Copyright, 1886, by United Press)


ROME. May 26.-Wa- talk was
renewed today while Emperor Halle
Selassie approached Gibraltar in a
British warship on his way to Lon
don.
Mounting anger seemed to point
clearly to new period of dangerous
tension. Great Britain was spot
lighted once more as pursuing poll
cies inimical to Italy.
Anger was expressed not only be-
cause Britain put a cruiser at the
disposal of the Emperor, but at the
prospect, which Italians regard as
certainty, that with his arrival
London will become a focal point
for a campaign of anti-Italian
propaganda.
Under the surface, indications are
that italian leaders are alarmed at
what they consider the increasingly
dangerous European situation.

Alleged Activity in Group

(AnOther Story on Page 22)

By United Press
DETROIT, May 26.-The burning
of Father Charles E. Coughlins
original Shrine of the Little Flower
at Royal Oak, Mich, last March II
is being investigated as a possible
terroristic activity of the Black Le-
gion in its fight against Roman
Catholicism, Prosecutor Duncan G.
McCrea said this afternoon.
THE burning of Father Cough
Inns shrine is definite part of our
investigation" McCrea said. 1--WE
have not, as yet, found anything
definite to connect the fire with the
legion, but we are pursuing our in
quiry in that direction"
The original shrine, a one-story
wooden structure where the radio
priest gained international fame for
his sermons against Wall-st brokers,
international finance and politics,
was destroyed early on the morning
of ST. Patrick's Day. It's loss was said
to be 100000 but Father Coughlin
characterized its intrinsic value as
arreparable."
Coughlin Not Available
AT the time, the priest said there
was no reason to suspect incendiar-
ism. Reports of Royal Oak fire
officials bore out his contention that
the blaze resulted from defective
wiring. Father Coughlin was not
Immediately available for comment
on McCrea's announcement.
McCrea emphasized that his in
Vestigation OF the Black Legion's
activities, which today had spread
to reports of bombings and arson
during recent months, had not turn
ed from other channels into that of
the shrine fire. But he added:
1T is one OF those things we are
examining carefully"
What his investigators had turned
up concerning the Shrine fire, Nc
Crea did not disclose.
Two More Prison Guards Fired
While the Detroit inquir turned
into this channel, the gra I'D jury
investigation at Jackson, resulted in
the issuance of warrants against
four men on charges of kidnapping
and assaulting WPA worker.
Warden Harry Jackson of the
state prison for southern Michi-
gan, announced the dismissal of two
more guards as consequence of
the investigation. This made four
who have lost their posts for al
