GOVERNOR'S TOWN GETS BALM SUIT Fight for Stenographer’s 3100,000 to BefimJ b"-‘d : 2)‘;’3? Colleges Called Snob Breeders by Frats’ Defender By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 2.—Col- leges and not college fraternitles breed snobbishness, in the opinion of Dr. Francis W. Shepardson, former dean of the University of Chicago, who today told the Inter-Fraternity Conference that expensive stadiums were just as objectionable from a scholastic point of view as silver favors distributed at house parties. _ “The college authorities who crit- icize fraternities are not playing fair,” said Dr. Shepardson. ‘They condemn snobbishness and lavish- ness and then turn around and e courage huge outlays for the glory of the institution. “It seems to me that not the fra ternities, but the colleges, are isolat- ing themselves. They are growing away from the common mass and the sooner they return to close con- tact with the people the better off they will be." Dean Joseph A. Bursley of the University of Michigan, himself not « fraternity man, said that he found Lraternity men above the average in scholarship, but below that of woman students. Jess T. Caldwell, scholarship com- missioner of the Kappa Sigma Fra- ternity, urged a uniform system for reporting the standing of Greek let- ter men, to be compared with that of the college enrollment as a whole.

By the Associated Press. HAMBURG, December 2.—The pro- gram of M. Poincare, the French premier, for submission to the Brus- sels conference comprises six defi- nite mecasures of allied control to be { accepted by Germany in return for | a three-year moratorium, according | to information the Fremdenblatt as- : serts it has received from a Dutch banker, who is prominently asso- ciated with high financial circles in i France. ! The newspaper says its informant | {states that the plan already has been | submitted to the Belgian government. The six prerequisites to @ moratorium are declared to be: First, the erection of a customs boundary eastward of the occupied territory, with the cstablishment of made by Samuel Untermyer yesterday [& mixed’ customs commission, based 3 i1 C S on the number of troops and allies that the Standard Oil Company was en- officials in the occupled area. rrsy with the heirs| Second.

The attorney left, the statement said, and did not reappear when he was told that the Standard Oil would be willing to |y, discuss the matter when shown the alidity of the claims. s _The company, the statement con- tinued, never considered the validity of these claims or of the claim that Sultan Abdul Hamed appropriated to his own use property interests really belonging to the Turkish government. _The Standard Oil Company also de- nied Mr. Untermyer's statement that the ~American government had espoused its cause, and explained that the “open door” meant an open doar for all American interests.

Frances C. Birkhead, a Mississippi girl. former stenographer of Gov. Russell, alleges in her petition tha the chief executive, with the promise of marriage, seduced her, amd later, when she became ill. connived at’an illegal operation, which left her an invalid. The governor denies the charges, and hinted that his enemies are be- Tind a plot to ruin him politically. Many witnesses have been sum- moned by both sides, and batteries of the finest legal talent in the state have been retained. It is not certain the case will be tried during the present term, as the i judge has the prerogative of limiting The session o one week, and other €ases can supplant it on the calendar. Two Hearings Held. Two hearings have already been Meld in the case. The first was in the federal court here, where the suit was originally filed. The case was dis- missed for want of jurisdiction, the court holding that Gov. Russell was only a temporary resident of Jackson in virtue of his duties at the capital. The executive claimed that his home was at Oxford. Bifficulty, however, was_encoun- tered in serving the legal papers on 1he governor at Oxford, as he did not wvisit his home until eiection day in September, when he returned to vote. t was ther he was served with the Ppapers. The Mississippi legislature during fts session last summer took cog- ance of the case, and an inquiry was established to determine whether the subject was one under which im- peachment proceedings could be i Btituted. However, after much test: mony had been introduced the legis: lative committee decided the matter eeuld not be brought before the body at that time, but left it to the courts, and in the event the courts judged the governor guilty a special session ©f the legislature would be called to take action.
