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."

WINNERS OF WAR CROSSES
TELL NOTHING OF DEEDS
Corp. Buchwalder Explains How Coming of the Americans
Saved France and Won the War in Allies' Dark Hour
In the eyes of Adjutant Dinet.
j there is the look of a man who lias I
' seen some things which he cannot ;
! forget. And there is the look which (
|is given only to men who. like Ad-'
Ijutant Dinet, go fearlessly into the'
i
teeth of danger. And the medals on >
J the chest of Adjutant Dinet tell a j
;story that the Adjutant himself will!
i not tell.
Adjutant Dinet, of the Foreign
'Legion, and Corporals Turcan and!
Buchwalder, who are shown in the i
photograph with Evelyn Dußree,
daughter of Frank Dußree, 203
Hamilton street, have served over
four years for Franre. The Adju
tant has, been a Legiondire for nine !
years, incidentally; but all three
of the Frenchmen have been light
ing the Huns since August of 1914,
when the horde of Huns overran I
Belgium and swarmed through 1
France toward the Marne and
Paris.
Corporal Buchwalder. the heavier j
of the two men of the Legion with !
Miss Dußree. has >3en many things, i
too. He said yesterday that he has j
a daughter the age of Miss Du-
Bree.
"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. Kyler seemed
to be in a happier frame of mind
than Carey. He told the Sheriff that
he holds no grievance against any
one. not even the Jury that convict
ed him because, he said, if he had
been a member of his own Jury he
wo lid have voted to convict him
self.
I He thought that Judge Henry
j gave him a fair deal, because of
: which "Judge Henry is a mighty fine
! man," but he said he expects to
[ meet a greater Judge. Kyler can
neither read nor write and he said
he was so glad to have had the
opportunity to make his peace with
God. It makes htm shudder, he said,
"when I think what would have be
come of me if 1 had been lynched
without having a chance to repent.
Carey and Kyler both blamed their
crimes on booze,
Kyler fatally stabbed Walter
Clifton Shaffer, ft railroader, Just
outside of a Broad stret hotel on
January 26, last, Carey killed Ar
thur Watts, In Steelton, on February
25, last.

'picked up afterwards contained five
j bullets. The man was taken to a
j police station, where his name was
[given as H. J. Boone, a printer. He
|denied, according to the police, hav
ing any harmful intent, saying he
j merely wanted to shake hands with
:the President.
I After questioning Boone the' po-
I lice announced that they did not be
! lieve that he had any wrong motive
I in seeking to reach the President.
I just wanted to shake hands
with the President," he was quoted
II as saying. "I guess I went a little
! tooo far."
Boone was unarmed when search
j ec l at the police station and the po
lice said they did not believe that
the revolver that was found be
longed to him. It was thought that
1 in the scuffle it was dropped by one
lof the secret service men.
Boone, who admitted he had been
| drinking, denied owning the weapon
j and said he meant no harm to the
| President. He and his wife had
' come down town to see the parade
I and attend a local theater, he de
jclared. Two tickets for to-nighis

j named were found on him.
! The prisoner also said he had writ-,
j ten a letter to President Wilson com
i mending his course in the war and
that the President had acknowl-
I edged the missive.
The man was held on a charge of
; disorderly conduct, "in that he an
-1 noyed the President," as expresfeed
by the police. Mr. Wilson himself
j did not seem to be disturbed by the

i guards seized the man but did not
i halt his march.

[ President reached the Altar of Lib

west or Verdun, Oct. 12.—Gene/al
Pershing's forces continued tlMir
attacks against the German posi
tions on this front to-day. German
opposition proved oven more bitter,
if possible, than it was yesterday.
The lighting this morning was es
pecially violent on the center and on
the left center. St. Juvin and Cunel.
both of which towns now are in No
Man's Land, are aflame. .
London, Oct. 12.—German troops
in the region of Douai are retiring
behind the Sensee canal. British
: forces have reached a line two miles
| west of Douat.
With the British Army in France,
Friday, Oct. 12.—The enemy yester
day began an attempt to slow up
the Anglo-American advance oh the
main battle front. 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.
With the American Forces North
west of Verdun, Friday, Oct. 12.—■
In closing Grand Pre gap it was the.
French who actually entered Grand
Pre station, but it was the American
advance east of the Argonno and
their capture of Marcq andChevieres
that made the occupation possible.
The Germans in their retreat from
the Argonno destroyed and blocked
the main roads by means of mines
and felled timbers. 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.
