Prof. Bawden has been married twelve years, his wife having been a teacher in the Granville, schools while he was an instructor at that place, but he and his wife are said to have lived apart for several years, even though residing in the same building, and the demand for his resignation is said to have followed Mrs. Bawden's statement to President Dabney of the conditions of her home life.

Hot Words Are Exchanged. President Dabney, it is said, sought an Interview with Prof. Bawden at which the colloquy was decidedly warm. Later Mr. Bawden wrote Mr.

Dabney as follows: Dear Dr. Dabney: I agree with you about the conditions under which I came to the University of Cincinnati. It was not fair to you to suppress the real occasioti of my leaving Vassar. I protested at the time against leaving Vassar under what seemed to me false pretenses, but all my friends, without exception. including Dr.

Strong and Dr. Taylor, urged it as the right thing to do from all points of view. The other day you said you thought you bad a right to know two things: The facts and my views. With regard to the-facts, It Is chiefly a matter of interpretation, I suppose, since no one Immediately concerned would willfully misstate them, and in the matter of Interpretation I wish Mrs. Bawden to have the benefit Of every doubt Mrs.

Bawden has expressed a willingness to live elsewhere next year. probably abroad. regret exceedingly the difficulty that has arisen, and trust that this may prove a satisfactory settlement of the matter." In answer to this President Dabney wrote briefly, demanding Prot Bawden's resignaSays He Is Beady to Eight. Discussing this demand for his resignation today. Prof.

Bawden said: President Dabney has asked me to resign, but before I do so I wish to bring several matters before my colleagues at the university and before the citizens of Cincinnati, who, I take it, are interested in the welfare of their most important municipal Institutions. "I don't care whether I win in this light or not Although I have foreseen that I would be asked to resign, I have taken no steps whatever to strengthen my position with elther my colleagues or the board of directors. I wish to remain or to go solely on the merits of the case. "Dr. Dabney has seen fit to call me a coward because I refused to discuss my personal affairs and my private views with him.

I am willing to have both my private life and my views known to every one. Within two or three days I shall be prepared with a statement of my views on sex and marriage, and I am glad of Mk opportunity to make them public.

IIIT CABLZ TO TEZ CHICAGO Tersu1ne.1 PARIS, May ILDisturbances which threatened to become a 'riot arose at the Longcbamps racecourse 0111 Sunday from the appearance among the members of the in-closure of four' young women attired In ultra fashioned gowns. Dressmakers in the Rue de Is Paix frequently boom their latest creations at Long-champs, but Sunday's experiment was too daring even for Parisians. The gowns were so claseic, so tight fitting, and so transparent that some of the onlookers rubbed their eyes in amazement. Others blushed. others turned indignantly away, while some of the men laughed and jeered.

The wearers had been sent by their employers to advertise the so-called sheath gowns, the attempted revival of the directoire fashion. The most sensational of them have a divided skirt, showing the outlines of the lower limbs. The excitement became so great that the police were obliged to remove the young women. A blushing policeinan wrapped his cloak around the divided skirt and conducted Its owner to a cab. Police prosecutions were talked of, but the police today decided not to act.

Director Touney of the municipal police said: It seems these dresses are the latest fashion. I think them daring. but if it is the prevailing fashion there is nothing more to be said." MY A STAPT CORRESPONDENT1 Laporte. May complete solution of the mysteries of the Gunness murder farm is expected within forty-eight hours. The officials who have been conduct.

Ing the search for the victims of the house of many deaths practically admitted this fact today. They refused. however to make known their purposes further than to say that the final step may be taken tomorrow. or the day after at the latest. The mystery surrounding four of the fourteen deaths which are known to have oc.

curred at the place is cleared by the absolute certainty that Ray Lamphere. the former farm band. prisoner in the county Jail, set fire to the home of Mrs. Wile Gunness on the morting of April 28 and thereby canned the death of the widow and the three children. For this he Is liable.

Lamphere's Statements Proof. The arrival at this point has been preceded by a hunt for minutiae.

who blackmailed the Gun- nese woman through the possession of knowl- edge concerning her dark secrets. He has not been sweated at any time. No attempt at the third degree ha. been made, but it is from his utterance that the chain of testimony has been forged. The chief agent In securing the confidence of the prisoner has been a minister, the Rev.

E. A. Schell, pastor of the First Methodist church. Ever since the first day of the prisand oiler's incarceration the clergyman has been a visitor at his cell. 'or hours at a time he has been locked in with the man who might carry the secret with him to the gallows.

Talks Despite Many Warnings. rpon the reports of the clergyman the inrom yestigators have builded their elate. All that Lamphere told him has not been revealed. but enough of his admissions to OA the framework upon which the crucial decision has been reached became public today. The man has been cautioned by his legal counsel to avoid giving any information con- earning his knowledge of his actions upon the night of the disappearance of Andrew Heigelein.

the last known victim of the arch murderess; his observations upon that and later occasions. and his actions upon the night of the fire which cost the lives of the woman and her four children.

West Forty-seventh street The 'victim was Henry Frawley, 18 years old, who had lived at 1006 West Fiftieth street The man who fired the revolver was John Hefei. a young Austrian employed in the bakery. The one act tragedy was enacted In the front room of the little bakery at 5 o'clock In the afternoon. Frawley. who Was a teamster and a steady, good natured young man, entered, the place to buy a few things to take home for supper.

He had juilt been paid and as he was well known In the bakery he flourished a small package of bills about $12. Hefei'. busy behind the counter, exchanged joking remarks in broken English with Frawley. He threatened to come out and take the money away from the young teamster if Frawley did not put It up. Come ahead," said Frawley.

I can take care of myself. Holdup Proposed as Zoke. After a few harmless threats Hetet' suddenly disappeared into a I ear room. Steve Korecae. another young Atintria.14 was working there.

Let's hold Frawley up. said Retell. You take the money while point the revolvenat him. It will be a good joke." All right," said Steve." Just as Frawley was about toaleave with his bundles, the two young Austrians sprang into the front room. In the true style of holdups he had read about Hefell leveled the revolver at Frawley and shouted: Hold up your hands or I will kill you." Frawley turned a laughing face toward the mock desperadoes.

You fellows can't scare me with a rusty old gun like that," he said. Come on If you want trouble." He put down his bundles on the counter and made a lunge toward Hefell and Steve." I In the play and flash of the moment, little dreaming that his linger held back a bu'let by the pressure of a hair. Befell pulltd the trigger. Frawley Falls Fatally Wounded. There was a loud report.

The little bakery was filled with smoke. Frawley dropped. Frank. the baker, came rushing dn. The I frightened men lifted the young teamster from the floor, where a small trickle of blood showed his wound.

Frawley could not speak. He was dying. The bullet had entered his chest. Retell and Steve atood stupidly by. hardly knowing what bad happened.

When Sergts. Mullaney and Golden of the stockyards station came upon the scone they arrested Hefell and his comrade. Frawley was put Into the ambulance and the horses were started on a gallop towards St. Bernard's hospital. On the way to the 'hospital, however, Frawley died without a word passing his lips.

The ambulance then was turned to McInerney's undertaking rooms. 4635 Wallace street. The police sergeant. made a careful investigation of the case. They found that Frawley and the two men they had under arrest were all of good character, and they finally accepted the explanation of accidental as the true one.

They will hold the two men, however, until the coroners jury agrees upon a verdict Heel' at the police station was the picture of grief.

Wade has been visiting at the residence of his daught'r. Mrs. Walter F. Slocum. 8604 Monroe avenue, but his son-Inlaw last night denied that he wee there and professed ignorance of his present whereabouts.

Wade. who is nearly 75 years old. but Mr. Slocum said he knew nothing about such a conference and intimated that his father-In-law had returned to Ann Arbor. Although the state officials at Lansing refused to discuss the investigation, It Is known that Mr.

Bird is Investigating the of. lice of Mr. Wade, who has been secretary of the university for the last werty-live years, acting In the capacity of business manager. The purpose, according to information received last night from Ann Arbor, is to ascertain whether Mr. Wade and Hamilton Reeve.

Coal Dealers Watchful. The Inquiry was started after certain coal dealers in Ann Arbor complained that the Y. M.

C. A. buildings were getting coal from the university at cost. Reports at the university, however. are that other subjects than university fuel supplies are being probed by the attorney general as a ressult of the revelations made in the course of the investigation.

There is a story that Ann Arbor coal dealers have kept jealous eyes on the disposition of university coal. and that Attorney General Bird was given information that some loads destined for university use were driven directly after being weighed to private houses. Other assertions are that the Investigation will probe stories that university electrici'y and cement were furnished for years to private parties, and that, considerable real estate was transferred under irregoltv conditions.
