WHEEL DISPLAK . IS DESTROYED Mystery Shrouds Party That Fired Engineers' Display; Laws Acquitted LAW STEPS ARE PAINTED Relations between the Colleges of Engineering and Law threatened to be broken again when early risers Tuesday morning found the remains of the Engineers' Week mechanical wheel display in a charred mass, totally destroyed by fire, and the south steps of the Law building vivid ly painted with the letters "E. '28." Investigation as to the cause of the fire failed to' prove anyone guilty, but it is quite certain that neither Law nor Engineering stu- dents are responsible. It is thought that the guilty party was neutral, with only the idea, of precipitating another Law-Engineer riot. Setting of the fire and painting of the letters apparently took place at the same time during the night The fire department was called at 2:30 in the morning to put out the blaze.
