For som e months past, at fr eqn e nt in tervals, val ua ble articles a,nd appa,ratus have been missed from the m echanical and. phy ' ie a l ja,bol'atories and sums of mon ey from students' rooms. Annoying as wer e the 10. ses, especia,l1 y those of hand books and instruments by the stu­dents , no suspicion co'uld be definitely placed. At the close of the spring t erm a member of the senior elass was detect-

Fine Linens and Woolens of the college found all these articles in the room of Harry K. Haak in Cleveland, Ohio. They we'r e s'eized by sea,rch war­rant, but a r equisitionjor h is arrest and return to this state was denied.

Last night word was r eceived that Haak was on his way back to the college with the avowed intention to "get even with em," but th e n ews preceeded him and a,boLit 1 o'clock this morning he was cornered and guard ed in his old room by two mem bel'S of the Lansing police~ pending the arrival of a warrant. When the student now occupying the room learned t hat officers were present b e in­sisted upon opening the room and Ha,ak· gave himself up.

The college author.i.ties are determined to make an exa,mpl e of bis case and no lenity will be shown him. No reason can be assign ed for bis r eturn , except the hope to raise money on his room fur­nishings. rl'he thanks of the boys have been tendered to Prof. Woodwor th for his successful detective work. Raak's home is in Luther , Lake county.

Mr. Haak 's older brotber came to hi s ai d , and after making restitution to ~be College and to some students for missing things, and by agreemen~ with the prose­cuting attorney, the affair was settled
