"vla1"1' wiw. President Hlbben 1ms been In touch with tho work of the school. r.NOl'OH TO Kll.I, SuOO MUX Today President Hlbben corrected the first leports of the nllei;,d plot only to say that the amount of cyanide of potassium discovered In Llvlngood's possession wns not two poundi, as had been reported, but "almost one pound." This discrepancy he pointed out, however, was an Immaterial one, since even the lesser amount was "suf ficient to poison 300U or 4000 men." President Hlbben said that ho had learned that Uvlngood, who had been a student tit the school for several weeks, had stood well In his classes, since the aviation course Includes work In advanced mathe matics and other somewhat abstruse sub jects. UUngoud mutt havo been possessed of excellent mcntallo. "AlthmiEli he was retarded an limine a strong mind, however, It whs nlmi intd rred un erratic our," mild I'rrnldenl llrti lirii, "Ills errntli- demeanor, apart from lil. .( liiKil liniirs, bad led hint to In- regarded Willi hUMdelon." 1'UISII.N IIIDUU.V 1 TltlJ.VIC i The poison was discovered, said President Hlbben, wrapped In paper, the parcel being hidden lit the bottom of l.lvlngood's trunk. Ho was awaio of tho fact that Inspection of the students' quarters was made dall. but as this Inspection was doinawhat per functory, he had probably como to tho con clusion that his personal belongings In his tiunk would not be subjected to scrutiny. i)n Monday, however prompted by their suspicions, the aviation schnl authorities made a much closer se.tnh of Idvingood'a room and found the poison. President Hlbben was unable to say that any clue was obtained ns tn whoic I.Iv In good purchased the cvnnldc of potassium. Thcro was a tumor that It had been bought from a Treilton druggist, but tho paper wrapping bore no labels showing where It came from, President Hlbben thought. 'run food or sru hunts Asked If It were not possible that I.lv In good planned to place the poison In the food of the students by conspiring with some one of tho employes In the lommunllv dining hall In Sago Hall. Pieblden. Hlbben was Inclined to disbelieve this theory. The be lief was, he said that I.lvlngood may have intended to effect an entrance to the dining hall kitchens after dark. "The most prob ibln w-av In which tho poison could have been mixed with food," said he, "would have been to place It with tho sugar, since the crystals of cyanide of potassium are much similar to sugar crvstals." All tlm kitchen help' In tho "university commons" In Sage Hall aie hi ought from New York, said President Hlbben, and aie accepted only when hilnglug the best of lecommeiidatlons. No one Is admitted to the dining halls or kitchens except tho-o who are known to the authorities A night watchman 'has been employed to guard the hall regularly, and since tho discovery of tho alleged plo on Monday, a day watch man has also been put on guaid. MVINtlOOD'S PAST I'NKXOff.V Little Is known about L.lvlngood'8 ante cedents, said President Hlbben, since the students In tho aviation schools all report first to 'Washington after they havo been accepted nnd arc sent to tho schools 'In different -parts of the country, The ltcal school nccepts the men ns having been passed by Washington. Ucfore they arc accepted at Washington they must pre tent letteis of recommendation. "Uut," snld President Hlbben, "It N comparatively nn easy matter for any one to obtain letters of this sort." Ho zealously vvns the seereUof l.lvlngood's nrrest guarded from the student body that It was unknown untl; today. Tho authorities dnred not i Ink giving out nny Information which might prevent the Government from apprehending any other conspirators who might be working In the other seven national aviation schools, scat, tered all over the country from tho At lantic to the Pacitlc coast. At tho Princeton aviation school there are now enrolled about 350 students, Presi dent Hlbben said, ulthough this number will be Increased to about 525 by Novem ber, It Is expected The students are sent on from Washington In weekly squads of from fifty to seventv-nve each squad Tak ing an eight weeks' course. I.lvlugood had thereforo been hero less than eight weeks. Detail of Game Inning by Inning Conthnu'il from Pace One Galulll. No tuns, no hits, in ciiois, none lift. TIIIKD INNING Schalk up.
