Circus Actor Fined
For Alleged Assault
Dwight Bean, " 28, circus
trapeze performer who lives in
Chapel Hill during the months
when circuses hibernate, was
the defendant in a trial at Chap
el Hill Recorder!s court Monday
evening. He was charged with
assault with a deadly weapon.
His victim, was Eric Sparrow,
son of Joe Sparrow, University
employee, whom Bean accused
of undue familiarity with Mrs.
Bean.
Bean found the pair at the
rhome of Mrs. Beulah Sykes in
Carrboro, whereupon he was al
leged" to have assaulted Sparrow.
After rendering his victim near
ly unconscious, Bean was alleged
to have "stomped on" Sparrow,
then to have thrown him out of
doors into the mud, whereupon
he took his departure.
Witnesses failed to prove the
use of anything in the nature
of a deadly weapon save Bean's
large fists, although Dr. E. A.
Abernethy testified that some
of the wounds he closed with a
total of 15 stitches, were sharp
cuts. A portion of Sparrow's
ear. he said' seemed to have
been cut off.
Attorney for Bean compro
mised the case with Prosecutor
Sawyer, and the accused was
given a four month's sentence
on the road, and a fine of ten
dollars and costs. The road sen
tence was suspended upon pay
ment of physician and hospital
fees and remuneration- for loss
of time to Sparrow.

GERMAN CLUB IS
ALM0STSURET0
HAVE JOMBARDO
Officials Await Return of Dupli
cate Contract from Book
ing Offices.
Only the return of a duplicate
contract from the Music Corpor
ation of America is now neces
sary for the absolute surety that
Guy Lombardo aiid his "Royal
Canadians" will play for the
final dances of the German Club
to be held this spring. -
In the 'returning of the ori
ginal contract, the German Club
officials added a clause to the
effect that this would be Lom
bardo's first appearance in the
state of North Carolina. A tele
gram was received which stated
that this extra stipulation would
be agreeable. The duplicate
copy of the contract is now ex
pected at any time.
Lombardo's band is classified
as one of the best dance orches
tras in the country, and it will
doubtless add quite a bit of color
to the naturally colorful final
dances of the German Club.
Due to the conflict between the
dates of the final dances and the
dates for the beginning of the
Carolina summer school, it will
be necessary to have the dances
in the Tin Can. Plans are now
being made as to how the Tin
Can.will.be divided and other
details. It is expected that an
unusually large crowd will at
tend these dances due to the
presence of Lombardo and his
orchestra, so the extra amount
of space in the Tin Can may
prove very valuable.
t Guy Lombardo and His Royal
Canadians are recognized as one
of the most popular of all music
dispensers in the country. They
have long been favorites of the
great radio audience, and their
selections are recorded consist
ently by the Columbia Record
ing Company. Sought after all
over the country, it will certainly
be a feather in Carolina's social
cap if this orchestra is secured.
It would be Lombardo's first ap
pearance in the south. . .
In an effort to trace the an
cestry of the canine family, Yale
University is to make a collec
tion of and hold an exhibition of
the skulls of 79 species of dogs.

Illinois Ranks Among First Six
Educational Institutions In

United States; Chase Suc
ceeds Dr. David Kinley-
(By R. W. Madry)
-Announcement here last night
of the resignation of Dr. Harry
Woodburn Chase as president of
the University to accept the
presidency of the University of
Illinois was greeted with ex
pressions of keen regret in all
quarters.
' During the day rumors that
Dr. Chase was planning td re
sign the presidency here gained
general circulation over the cam
pus. Dr. Chase could not be
reached for a statement, having
left for Hollins College where
he is to deliver the Founder's
Day address today. At his of
fice. Secretary R. B. House in
formed inquirers that any news
regarding possible developments
would have to come from
Illinois. . , ,
Consequently last flight's an
nouncement did not take the
town wholly by surprise. Many
of the folks here were half way
prepared for it. To people out
in the state, however, it will be
big news. Dr. Chase had closely
guarded his negotiations with
the Illinois officials, fearing that
any premature announcement of
his plans might result in mis
understanding both here and in
Illinois. He was v particularly
fearful lest somebody get the
impression that he was "play
ing" for a raise in salary.
It was learned yesterday that
Dr. Chase had a tentative offer
from the Illinois committee when
he and Mrs. Chase left here two
weeks ago to visit their campus.
He was first approached by the
committee last fall, and at the
time he informed them that he
was quite sure he would not be
interested. In . January they
came back at him again with the
request that he reconsider:
Further negotiations led to his
decision to visit, the Illinois cam
pus. He had not macle up his
mind at ' the time he went al
though he confessed to several
close associates that he was
strongly tempted.
Dr. Chase's letter of resigna
tion ' did not. reveal the salary
involved in the Illinois offer, but
it was learned that it represents
a tremendous increase over the
10,006 he receives here, along
with a liberal retiring allowance
and other 'inducements. One
report was that he i3 to get
double his present salary.
His associates expressed the
view last night, however, that
the opportunity to work with an
institution thal occupies such a
significant position in the future
development of higher education
in America was the chief factor
in determining his decision.
The University ' of Illinois is
one of the half-dozen largest in
stitutions in America in studen
enrollment and faculty. ; It is
said to reDresent one of the most
