COLLEGE STUDENTS
QUIT ASJ1TEST
Thirteen Cadets Sere Because
Football Star Was "Kept '
In" Thanksgiving
GROUP FIRST ASKED FOR
LENIENCY TO MeCAFFERU
Serry, Beys, Said Cel. Hyatt,
but Discipline rnust and
Shall Be Maintained
Thirteen cadets of the Pennsylvania
Military College. Chester, have left
the institution, n pretest against the
expulsion of Hugh McCaffery, n back
en the college football team.
McCaffery, who lives iu Chester and
was a lieutenant Iu the endet corps,
was ousted yesterday for dlsebediance.
He bad been Instructed te renin In within
the college grounds Thanksgiving morn
ing, but "broke limits," taking three
ether cadets with ldtn.
As a result of bis expulsion, n group
of cadets, called scterciay at the office
of Colonel C. K. Hyatt, president of
the college, and asked for McCaffery's
reinstatement. They left the Institu
tion when the request wnH refused.
Eight of the eleven seniors at the
college were among these who left.
The five ethers were members of the
junior class. The frchmnn and
sophomore classes discussed a proposed
walk-out, hut decided te stand by the
college.
The men who left are Raymond V.
Wberley. Pittsburgh; Jehn II. Eimer
mink, this city; Paul R. Cellier, this
city: Walter (I. Kioto. Steuhenvllle.
O. ; SI. P. Falen, Rosemont ; Frederick
K. Buckeu. New Hineii; Kdwurd
Barry, Jr., Illoemliigton, III., and Paul
Heine, Jr., Lancaster, senieis, nnd
the following juniers:
Cern Id I), Iliifleigh. this lt. : Ccerge
II. McChesney. Pittsburgh; Harry O.
Brabni, Pittsburgh; Stephen (iohe, Jr.,
Luwishurg, Pa., and James (.'. Murray,
Jr.. Pittsburgh.
While a majority of the cadets went
te n church service Thanksgiving morn
ing, Mc-Cnffcry, acierdlug te officials
of the college, remained at the institu
tion with several ether cadets.
Instead of reniniulng in the grounds
ns ordered, he drove te the Chester
High Scheel game, taking three ether
cadets with him. Fer this be was
charged wltn conduct prejudicial te geed
eruer en u discipline.
The specifications alleged in the
charge weje direct disobedience of
orders, unfaithful performance of duty
as a cadet officer and leaving cadet
lines without authority.
"I filed the charges against Mr. Mc
Caffery myself," said Colonel Hyatt.
"He is u likable Imy and was point peint
lar wilb the cadets and the faculty.
I have known him since be was ten or
eleven years old and it was bard for
me te take action against him, but thu
college cannot tolerate direct disobedi
ence of orders.
"If the Pennsylvania Military Col Cel Col
loge cannot exist en dean, straightfor
ward discipline we don't want te exist.
"As for the boys who walked out I
feel that they will return; I hope they
will. If they give a satisfactory ex
planation for their action anil give a
guarantee of future geed conduct they
may be reinstated."
Colonel Hyatt said he realized that
bejs must be bejs and that it was
the policy of the college te rectify the.
mistakes made bv students. But disci
pline is absolutely essential, be added,
and must be upheld tit all costs.

The messuge will probably suggest
i.ething mere in the way of u program
than the rural credits bill, the approval
of which was announced from the Whit
Heuse en Thursday night. This is
Watsen's itlen of nil that is nceessury
in the wny of legislation for the farmera
at this session.
Progressives Lure Farmers
The Progressive conference yesterday
Indicated, however, thnt much mere
tempting biit will be bold before the
farmers than the rural credits of the
Administration. AN), nt that confer
ence an organization was formed which
may make difficult the carrying out of
Watsen's idea, that with a minimum
of farm legislation the Republicans can
get by and avoid thu calling if a spe
cial session.
The coining forward of Watsen t
the place of chief adviser of the Presi
dent en legislation I" one of the odd
developments since the election. Still,
psychologically, it Is easy te explain.
Watsen is aggressive ami belf-cenfident.
He bluffs.
He talks big.
He actually Is stronger and mera
plausible than any ether aspirant te
leadership en "the Hill." He. given
an impression of strength greater than
he possesses.
yt ,- .H-'rdlng is net n nnturnl leader.
He lacks force himself and in his pres.
ent difficulties he naturally turns te
nnv one who suggests force. Ills prob
lem would be greatly simnllh'ed by llml
lng a leader en '-the Hill" who had
power. And ",11m" Wutsen is the
"bite Hepe" of party organization.
Mm is Industrious.
He is everlastingly interested In tilt
icieinn et party management.
lie. is ambitious.
Harding's Weak Side
Moreover. Mr. Watsen has caught
Mr. Ha nil"" en his weak side, tin- side
of his strong inclinations. The I'rosi I'resi
1 dent )s tiretl of having Congress alvvava
tin his hands nnd Is espeelnlly loath
te have the Cougre-s which the people
.have ni.t sent bail; up.. 1 hi hands

the Pic-itient needs a vacation and

wishes te get it vj ay from Washington.
