Too committor which haa been worklnc constantly for sis days and nights, putting In an average of M hours out of cii 24. returned Its report to President Hryan lata thla evening, and tha preMnt l going ortr tha evidence. Tha committee recommends tha evpulslon of three of tha yottna mm and the Indefinite sus pension of the other three. Th!r names will not be made public nnitt their punishment la definitely rfe tMad npon. and their eenten'-ee given. Thla will not be done before President Hryan haa had time to go over all tha evidence and he may rail th. young men before him. lie will probably aub. mtt the report to tha board of regents, which meet a here tomorrow afternoon fr Ita annual aee.ton. when all of tha members esrept J. J. Browne, of Spo kane, who la 111. are expected to be present. I a ventilation Is Thorough. The committee, which haa Investi gated the matter which stirred the 'coltrce and tha community more than any event In Ita Matory. Is composed of O. L Walter, vlcr-preeldont and head of th department of mathematlca and rlrll engineering: Elton Fulmer. dean of tha facolty and bead of the depart ment of rhemlstry. and F. A. Thomson, fcsad of the department of mining. "I want to commend the committee for Ita faithful. Impartial and consci entious work In this case." aald Presi dent Itryan. "No one outside tha col lece faculty, or conversant with all of tha circumstances, haa any Idea of tha vast amount of work necessary to ar rive at tha facta and to render a fair and Impartial verdict in a case of ao much moment. The fact that thla escapade came at a time when the col lea and the community were prepar Inc for the great celebration of tha Slat birthday of the collece. and every one waa feellnr Jubilant, adda to tha difficulty of the task of the committee. I cannot give out tha namea of the accused at thla time. It will ba mani festly unfair to do so. They have been convicted, but tha recommendation of th commute la that punishment be meted oat to them. Should anything occur to change thla programme. It would be unfair to tha accused to have them branded through the press aa be Inc rullty of ao crave an offense. It will be much easier to keep the slain off their character than to remove It. one It baa been pat upon them. Expulsion Is IVared. "I shall co th roach the evidence, which Is voluminous, veay carefully, and shall probably call each of tha young men before ma before making my recommendations. Tha board of regents having th power to expel, nothing can be dona until tha board haa had all tha evidence. No decision will be given before lata tomorrow nlahf. a the board will not meet until tomorrow afternoon." A pathetic Incident occurred today when the committee received a tele gram from the mother of one of the boys, asking that no decision ba made until she reached Pullman, aa she waa then on her way from Tacoma In anajver to her son'a appeal for aid. She appeared before the comm'ttea and later before President Bryan, and made a st rone appeal for her son. She de clared ah knows he la Innocent, for be told her ao. and he baa never lied to me." The faith of the mother In her son'a veracity, and th touching ap peal she made for him affected the toard deeply, but It Is understood It did not In any way affect tha decision. When a reporter railed at President Bryan's offce later the mother waa In Ms office pleading for her son. and her voice, full of emotion, could be heard la tha waiting-room, where on of th young men who la aald to ba Implicated watted for a chance to apeak to Presi dent Bryaa.
