account of th? all-fools day escapade,
when three hundred and nine boys
absented themselves from tho cam
pus und all duties from curly in the
morning until late in the evening. Of
tho three bundled und nine boys only
four were not dismissed. These were
M. B. McCrudy, of Chnrleston, H. T.
Knight,, of Chesterfield, .1. H. Hay
den of Orangeburg, and .). H. Fixer,
of Dorchester. On account of en I co
unting circumstances in their cases,
these young men wore punished in
some other way than by dismissal.
At the regular morning drill Hu*
names of the participants were called
und they dropped out as they heard
their names called. After all tho
property had been turned in to the
quartermaster the boys as directed hy
Commandant Minus, assembled in the
chapel.
Aller all the cadets of tho institu
tion were seated and after tho regular
chapel services wen? concluded Pres
ident Mell arose and in a few words
announced that he was extremely sor
ry that the escapado had occurred.
Hi? was very sorry, he said, that the
guilty boys would have to he dealt
willi severely, bul discipline was ab
solutely necessary and (he college
authorities must be obeyed hy the
cadets.
After President Mell had conclud
ed Commandant Minus addressed the

order lo lie published at once. This
order provided for the dismissal from
the college of 43 mein hers of the pre
paratory class, 132 members of the
freshman class and 82 members of

Clemson college prohibit expulsion.
Dismissal means thal the connection
will; Clemson college of the 267 ca
dets dismissed is pennant ly absolved.
Those cadets may enter other colleges
in or out ol' South Carolina.
The members ol' the discipline
committee have inst gone through
tin- hardest experience they have ov
er had. They have been patient, and
have heard every cadet under the
.serious charge. They have worked
deliberately and willi thc determina
tion ol' wronging no man. I heb' ne
lion in dismissing the cadets was bas
ed on Hu; testimony ol' the individual
cadets as to the Circumstances sur
rounding each case. A heavy load
bas been lilted from the hearts ol'
the com mil leo members. They have
acted conscientiously throughout the
entire trouble.

THE DISMISSED CLEMSON CADETS
MAKE MANLY STATEMENT.
Acknowledge They Mmle Serions Mis
take and Accepts Their Punishment
As .IlLSt.
To the Editor of The State:
Tho newspaper reports of tho rs
cenl trouble at Clemson college belay
more or less Incorrect and not alio
gther fair and Impartial, we, the
undersigned ex-members of the jun
ior class (leslie to Rive to the people
of the Seato what we conscientiously
believe to bo a truo and Impartial
statement of the facts. We do not
believe that any om- knowingly inad<
un incorrect statement; hut we do
know thal sonn- of the newspaper re
ports were written by men who knew
hui HUN- about the facts which inc.*.
attempted to state. Consequently,
sonic blunders were made, an wc ecn
sider it our duty to tho people of lin
Slate to correct, as far as possible
these mistakes.
Taking up these statements in ord
er, we desire io make the fol lo win
corrcl ions:
I. The newspaper ?rdeles referred
to above stated that several orders
and warnings were published at rc
treat on the evening of March 31st.
As a matter of fact, only one order
was published, and that called attcn
lion lo paragraph 12 0 of tho "Kogo
huions tor the Government of Co
dots." The Order in question wes as
follows:
"Headquarters Corps of Cadets
"Clemson Agricultural Col'.ege
'.Clemson College. S. C.
"March 31, lOoS.
"General Orders No. 4 2.
"Par. 1. Tho attention of the corps
of cadets is especially directed to par
agraph 120 of 'Tho Regulations foi
the Government ol' Cadets," which
reads as follows:
" "Any cadet who leaves barracks
without authority at any time be
tween ret: eal and reveille, shall bc
dismissed.'
"Hy order of Capt. Minus."
As far as we have been able to
lind ont, no one left barracks without
authority during that time. The
new; paper reports made lt seem that
this order was intended for the next
day, when the order itself plainly
shows thal it was md.
2. A statement was made that tele
grams were sent to Prof. R. H. Pike
informing him that his isey ''ces were
no longer needed. lt. II. ^Kikc ls a
cadet and not a professor! and the
telegram was sent in a spirit of fun,
merely to let Kike know that the
participants were carrying on their
April Pool celebration. Cadet Kike
was in no way connected with the af
fair.
:;. Tho statement lltai the rest of
the students were very Indignan! over
the action ol their comrades is a mis
take, as practically the whole student
body treated i he matter as a joke.
4. Cadet T. S. Allen was not a load
er in the celebration, In fail, there
wen? no leaders, everybody acting for
himssir. Cadet Allen did. after I he
juniors were dismissed from college,
advise the rest of Ibo Students to ro
main at college, hut did so because
he though) that hy using his in
flueneo lie might help Lo prevent
tho lower classmen Hom leaving with
the juniors.
There was also a slight mistake
made as to tin- number oi' students
in Ibo junior class 'lhere were only
si students in i he class; 48 of those
wen' dismissed and one suspended. Of
the rest, several WOl'e on the allie
lotie leam and would have gOUO oe.
the "lark" had they not been per
suaded by their el a.^Suintes not to go.
We do not wish to casi any reflec
tion on any om . Our purpose being
lo correct some statements that might
create a winny Impression among the
people Ol' I he Slate.
lu conclusion, we, ike undersigned,
Wish to kay to the people of this
and Other Stales thal we. the dismiss
ed cadets ol' Clemson college, do now
feel the seriousness (d' thc offense and
think illili the punishment received
was just; and that we h;ive absolute
ly no ill feelings toward (he action ol'
the discipline committee 'of Clemson
liol lego. We realize that the mistake
was a serious one hilt we do not feel
that any disgrace attends our dismis
sal.

An Old Married Man Heroines Infnt

Jealous of a 17-year-old girl, Sam
uel H. Gardner, aged 5 9, a pioiniuent
civil engineer, residing nt McKees
Rocks, a uurburb of Pittsburg. Pr.,A
Wednesday shot the young womauy
Miss Dorothy Yost, through tho heart
causing instant death, and thou fired
a bullet Into his mouth, dying three
hours later In a hospital, without
having regained consciousness.
Gardner, who is u married man
with several grown children, livvft*
next door to Mrs. Bradley's, tho girl's
'mother. Doth Gardner's and Miss
j Yost's families are prominent, and
I havo up lo ibo time of the shooting
been on tin? best of terms.
Wednesday evening, Miss Yost, ac
companied hy a young nina friend at
tended services at the Presbyterian
(Miurch. where Miss Yost w.t.- a mem
ber o1" the choir.
Il is said when Gardner heard of
ibis he became greatly enraged. He
! arose in excellent spirits the next
morning, however, according to his
'wife, ate his breakfast and after kiss
ling her, left the house and went to
?a hardware store nearby. Here he
purchased a revolver, informing the
clerk be was "going to fix some bjjfc
glnrs." After leaving the store Gard
ner met the young man who escorted
Miss Yost to chuch, and shaking his
fist at him, said: I'm going to got ev
en with you." Gardner made his
way past his own home and entered
the Bradney residence. Miss Yost
was on tho second floor, and Gurdner
went up there lo ber. What passed
between them there will probably
never be known.
The next instant a number of per
sons, including Mrs. Bradley and
