They have no place to move, but have
been notified by sheriff's deputies that
they will, be put out If they do not

They have repeatedly offered their
rent of $25 monthly, they say, to be
allowed to stay until they can find a
house, but their pleas for a stay of
eviction, ns well as their rent, are re
fused, they assert.
The three sons of David Bennett.

Iron Division in France. They are
Sergeant John B. G. Bennett and
Lewis Bennett, both In Company I of

"On the 20th of February." said Mrs.
David Bennett today. "Burton C

"I asked htm if heknew of any house

"A few days later a Mr. Italhner

house, and wanted It for himself. He
wanted to know when we could get out
Simon, who has nn office nt Nineteenth

No suggestions will be solicited or ac

of n new dean of the Wharton School
of the University of Pennsylvania, ac
cording to an editorial appearing today
in the Pennsylvanian, the student organ.
Dean William MiClellnn. whose res
ignatioti was tendered to Provost Smith
on January 11 last, but not made pub
lic until yesterday, was attacked by Mr.
and Mrs. Morris in a statement last
week which alleged mismanagement of
the affairs of the Wharton School by
llean MiClellnn and the board of trus
tees of the University.
Mrs. Morris is n daughter of Joseph
Wharton, founder of the school. Whar
ton Barker, a nephew of the founder
nnd a trustee, joined the Morrises in
ihe nttnek. which followed the resigna
tion of Dr. J. Russell Smith because of
nlieged 'starvation wages paid pro
fessors at the University.
Dean "Too Big"
The editorial, under the caption
"Dean MeClellan Departs." charac
terizes the attack as made by "Univer

The editorial follows:

"It is indeed unfortunate that Doctor

raised in this connection by University
enemies. The dean is too big n ntn.i

and his silence has best expressed his
