Special to The Gazette-News.
Chapel Hill, April 1. "In response
to a telegram requesting the real
facts we make the following state
ment for the press of the state:
"The university, as Is already ob
vious, does not stand for the suppres
sion of a single detail of the real facts
in the case, and Its policy has Deen
repeatedly set forth during the year,
as a co-operative program of letting
the people know what their university
is.
"The account of the 'crap game' In
Sunday's paper Is substantially cor
rect. The four freshmen and two law
students involved In the game were
immediately dismissed on Saturday.
Mr. Cartmell severed his connection
with the university. The siory in Mon
day's papers sensationally exagger
ated and grossly distorted. The stu
dents gathered at the postotfice to
get the afternoon mail. When one of
the students who had been dismissed
saw his name had been published in
the state papers for participating in
a crap game he became angry and put
his hand on your correspondent's
shoulder. The. students standing by
pulled him away from the cor
respondent. Not a single blow was
passed. Nor was there any mob out
side waiting to attack the correspond
ent. So much for the mob of the stu
dent body.
"The two points in which the pub
lic is interested are these: 'What Is
the attitude of the students in regard
to gambling?' and 'what is the pres
ent moral life of the university (' We
answer these questions emphatically,
without reserve, and with knowledge
of the conditions in the university.
When the students in general faced
the question of gambling the over
whelming sentiment of the student
body immediately crystallized against
It. At meetings in the Y. M. C. A.
two weeks ago every man present ex
pressed the determination to put an
end to the evil. At the invitation of
the president of the student bods
week before last twenty-five leaders
in the university life met In the Phi
society hall came to the definite de
cision that they would report any
case of gambling which they would
learn of. and they would do every
thing in their power to stamp it out.
"The faculty has always set the
face of the unherslty against gamb
ling in any form.
"The community conscience which
has not tolerated drinking or a return
of hazing this year became very sen
sitive to the gambling among a com
paratively small number of the stu
dents. It was, and Is the confident
hope of the whole university that
Rambling will be eradicated from our
life.
"To the knowledge of every one of
us It is an absolute fact that this is
the healthiest. cleanest and finest
spirited year In this college genera
tion. "Oscar Leach, president senior class
and student body,

The fourth picture of the "Adven
tures of Kathlyn" series will be shown
next Friday at the Galax theater. Al
ready three pictures of Harold Mac
Grath's sensational serial have been
exhibited at this house and the In
creasing attendance at each showing
of this film drama manifests the keen
interest of the people of this city In
the exctting adventures of the beauti
ful heroine.
The preceding pictures introduced
the various characters in this dra
matic tale. The first, "The Unwelcome
Throne," showed Kathlyn made queen
of Allaha against her will and she
was falsely told her father was dead.
The second, "The Two Ordeals," dis
closed lite plans of the crafty Prince
rmballah to wreak vengeance on
Kathlyn for her refusal to marry him.
I She is put in a cage with a tiger but
Is rescued by Bruce, an American
hunter, and afterwards she Is cast In
to the arena with the Hons but is
again saved by Bruce. In the third
picture, "The Temple of the Lion,"
her elephant runs away with her and
she Is compelled at nieht to seek
refug( in a ruined temple which Is In
habited only by a roving lion. The na
tives of the district make her a priest
ess but she finally takes to the river
in hope of escape. This leads up to
the fourth picture which will be
shown at the Galax Friday.

One woman, name not yet learned,
leaped from, a third story of a building
and sustained a broken back. She will

The area burned was two long

summer cottages together with the
Oenovar theater. All were destroyed
except the Magnolia hotel, which was
