10 MANY CRITICISE COLLEGE ACTION Dr. Morgan Explains His Rea sons, Which Resulted in Ousting Youth The disclosure of the "color line" being; drawn at Dickinson College caused vast gossip among the stu dents in Carlisle to-day, and a Tele graph reporter found that the bulk of sentiment favored the Jefferson boys, the argument being that they were line fellows and that, anyhow, at this time unity is what the coun try must have to beat the world's enemy. "I've known William for three years" said one senior "and have always found him O. K. There have been colored boys here before, and nobody made any kick." Among Carlisle citizens the action of Dr. Morgan was the sole topic disciissed to-day and the opinion seemed to be that all "aversions" should be concentrated against Ger many and not directed at any race or sect, and that the Jefferson boys had been the subject of unpleasant pub licity at a most unfortunate time. Dr. Morgan made the following formal statement: "Frank L. Jefferson, of Steepon, Pa., employed by one of the depart ments in Harrisburg. has for three years had> one son in the college and for one year has had two sons in the college. The older son has made a j line scholastic record, and entered three years ago after full conference ' with his father and mother, in which | the whole race problem was talked over, and he was told that colored \ men had been here before and had j conducted themselves in such a way ! as to be entirely without trouble in , their college associations. This lias ; been justified by tho three years in which the family has had repre sentatives in the college. With the •opening of the present college year and tho inauguration of the Stu dents' Army Training Corps in the college, new problems arose, and the ! father and 1 talked the matter over. and after conference with the Com- j uiittee on Education having the S. : A. T. C. in charge and being told to j follow out our usual custom, we told j the boys to stay. This was before 1 the induction was accomplished. "Later it developed that the men ; must live together in the intimacy j of common barracks, lavatories, mess hall, etc., and in view of this new I development which before had not ! been before us, or at least promi nent in my thought, I raised the , question with officers in charge, who 1 tsaid that the induction of the boys | was entirely with me, but the policy ! of the government in the camps was j of course to segregate the races, and that 1 should do as 1 pleased. In the presence of one of the officers 1 | called the elder boy and told him j that his conduct in the college had been such as to win the respect of the student body, but that at least j, two out of three of the Students' j Army Corps were strangers to him, ; having entered this year, and that it j was highly probable that many other | ( new men would come who would not know him, that it was also possible that the government might send in a considerably larger number who be his associates and who would not come to know him as his old asso ciates in the college had done. Under these circumstances 1 told hint that it seemed to me that without the possibility of the college or the army officers to protect him his stay here might be made uncomfortable and that my advice to him would be to go to a school for men of his race, i usked him what he thought of it, and he said: If you order it, of course I will go. Sly reply to him was. I do not order it; I suggest, however, that you go home and talk lhe matter over with your father and report to me. His reply was that he was due for drill in the evening. But the officer in whose presence 1 had made the statement said to him: You may be excused from drill to advise with your father. I said to the lad specifically that it was advice, and that he should counsel with his father and report to me. He with drew purposing to go home. "The next day, and the next. I conferred with the commanding of ficer and he with me, inquiring as to the boy's purpose. As he did not ap pear nor write me, 1 concluded : ..my that he had decided to withdraw without further conference. I .earn ed incidentally some days after the original interview that he had writ tento the dean. His letter, however, 1 have not seen. So far as I knew and believe the only communication subsequent to the advice X gave Mr. Jefferson was a phone conversation as to the boys' credits for work done in the college. "My words to him were words, of advice, were not considered final, as the commanding officer and myself conferred about it afterward, each in quiring of the other whether he knew the purpose of the boy in the prem ises." Another Matrmrnl The foregoing statement, written and signed by Dr. Morgan, appeared in the night extra edition of the Harrjsburg Telegraph yesterday, ar riving in Harrisburg too late for the home edition and is re-printed to-day in faiiyiess to the college authorities. This afterpoon Dr. Morgan phoned the following statement to this news paper: "I'our article yesterday on the col ored line of Dickinson College Is un true and contrary to the facts given your reporter. It raises the question as to whether you wish to embarrase the War Department authorities in their S. A. T. C. movement. A re porter of the Telegraph saw me at eleven yesterday morning and 1 then put into his hands the facts concern ing the Jefferson hoys, He knew when he left that they had not been dismissed from Dickinson College and but for the fact that the reporter seemed to know that there had been no dismissal I should have told him that there was no color line in Dick inson College. "There is yet one colored student in the college and the Jefferson boys might be in the college tyithout ques tion. I doubted the wisdom of their connection with the 8. A. T. C., how ever, which would entail their asso ciation day and night in all the in timacies of barrack life —In bunk, lavatory and mess hall, I yet doubt the wisdom of their connection with the S. A. T, C. but should not now as I did not then dismiss men situated as the Jefferson boys were situated in the college ten days ago. These boys could yet become members of the S. A. T. C. if they so desire in spite of my Judgment in the matter. I did not forbid it, "In view of this clear statement of facts to your reporter yesterday It seems too much to expect that your paper will now give a fair state ment. However, as the United States Army administration may seem to be somewhat involved, I want justice to be done if possible without any ap peal to any body connected with the army. I may, however, need tq re fer the gross exaggeration of yester day's Issue to army authorities. If you want to be fair you should make correction as publicly as you issued the original story."

"It was early in March," he told missal of the Jefferson brothers from Dickinson College, as printed In the Telegraph yesterday, is practically confirmed in every essential particu lar by Dr. Morgan's own statement. If anybody has raised the color line at Dickinson it has not been the Harrisburg Telegraph. Dr. Morgan evidently attempts to differentiate be tween "sending boys home" and "dis missal." The Telegraph doubts missal." The Telegraph doubts wheth er the public will so understand the action of Dr. Morgan. The question naturally arises, why were the boys sent home if the college authorities were willing that they should re main? The Telegraph has no objection to Dr. Morgan taking the matter up with the army authorities. feeling that if any injustice has been done the Telegraph Is not the guilty party. Murderers Are Taken to Western Penitentiary For Electrocution Next Week Charles Kyler and Andrew Carey, two negro murderers, were taken to the Center county penitentiary at Rockvlew yesterday to be electro* cuted next week for their crimes In this county and both said they are prepared for the end.

All the bridges across the river Selle, from Le Cateuu southward, were blown up and the Germans seem to have been digging in furiously along the line of the high ground some 2,000 to 4,000 yards east of the river.

Little is likely to remain of Grand Pre station, the enemy having shelled it to complete the destruction wrought by fire. All of the German counterattacks have been repulsed.
