JACOB VOGT Tho school board held n spccinl mcoting Inst night, but this is not nows to Superintendent Travcr. Ho discovered it early in tho ovonlng, for against him tho tido of public Indig nation beat and swelled, and receded only to swcop higher with oach wavo, until ho was swept off his foct and drowped, ns it were, in n flood of words. Ever slnco tho enforced roslg nntlon of cortnln lady teachers, tho patrons of tho schools havo boon grow ing moro nnd inoro indignant, nnd last night tho dam thnt hold tho pent up torront broke. It was a Johnstown flood, nn outpouring of public senti ment that simply overwhelmed Super intendent nnd board. What most aroused tho wrath of thoso who do mnndod fair piny for tho discharged tcachors was tho sccroey tho board maintained ns to tho reason why tholr resignations woro asked for. Tho board, howovcr, wns bound not to toll, and somo of Its mombors, in turn, got nngry, bocnuso Superintendent Trnv ors who, of all Salem 's citizens nlono knows what tho board knows, sprung a lonk, and gavo out information ho had promised to withhold, and this, too, in plcccmcnl, nnd only such of it as wns calculated to shield him, and throw tho blamo upon tho board. Whon Mr. Carson filed his request for information concerning monoy col loetod for tho ostensible purposo of purohuslng pictures for tho schools, nnd nbout nn alleged attempted graft of $300 by tho superintendent in tho mnt tor of tho heating plant woll, if Mt. Pelco had suddenly blown its head off again right out in mcoting, it wouldn't havo caused moro stir. Things got a inovo ou right then, nnd ovorybody got bus)- but, dispensing with tho flow ers of language, wo glvo tho proceed ings in dotnll. Tho school board met in special sos slou last ovoning, with nil members present. Upon motion tho clerk wns author ized to purchase tho needed station cry nnd supplies.

Dr. Byrd reported, on behalf of tho contractors, that tho now high sehool building would not bo completed bo foro November 1st, or, at host, on Oc tober 20th, tho date stipulated by the contract. Tho South Salem committee, who appeared in bohalf of the three toaoh ers who wore "lei; out" at the recent ejection, was present. Mr. Bayno opened for tho comuiitteo by reading tho resolutions passed at a mass meet ing of patrons of tho Lincoln sehool. He then stated that the committee ap peared in behalf of the patrons of Lincoln school, and that they submit ted the resolutions of tho patrons with tho utmost respect. . I Mr. MeMahon, of the committee, then spoko in behalf of tho patrons, and mado the statement that nono of tho patrons, had found fault with any of tho teachers dismissed, ami lnlm.l that it was nractleallv the nnantmmm1 desire of the patrous to have theso' toachcrs restored. Ho also asked that, if thcro wero any charges against them ns to their efficiency or morality, that the patrons wero entitled to know them, and also thnt tho teachers in question lind a right to a hearing. Mrs. Swlcnick next spoko for tho committee, nnd said thnt in tho six years during which her childron had attended Lincoln ochool sho had known Miss Myers nnd tho othor teachers, nnd that sho had found them perfect Indies, obliging nnd competent to perform tholr work. Sho nlso pre sented a roport card of ono of her children, which rfpoko woll for tho work of Miss Smith. Sho also called nttcntion to tho fact that tho work of theso tcachors was marked "No. 1"' nt tho St. Louis exposition last year. Sho closed by nsklng to havo theso thrco teachers in question rostorcd. Sho had, during tlio pnst wcok, visltod ninny of tho patrons of tho school, nnd nil had spoken woll of theso young Indies. Mr. Bnyne asked of tho board that thoy glvo tho commlttco somo infor mation ns to why theso toachors wero let out, or what promptod tho board to tako this action. Mr. Leo stated thnt ho thought tho board had noted In good faith, and thnt unless somo ono had "reportod" what had tnken placo nt tho private meetings of tho board, nothing should bo revealed. Ho then stated that Su perintendent Travcr had roportcd to somo of tho teachers what took placo nt tho secret meeting, nnd suggested thnt, inasmuch as ho had givon this information out in part, that tho re mainder of tho procoodlngs of tho bonrd bo mado public. Mr, Condlt stated thnt- it was cus tomary to hold such secret mootings nt tho election of tcachors, and that ho was opposed to opening up tho mat ter. He then excused hlmsolf and loft. Mr, Carson then submlttod tho fol lowing communicatien: "To tho Board of Dlroctors of tho Sa eom School District: "During tho past yoar a largo sum of money was collected by your super intendent from, tho toachors, pupils and friends of tho city schools for the ostensible purposo of purchasing pic tures to decorate tho school rooms, and, ns contributor nnd ono of the friends of tho school nnd a taxpayer, I demand nn accounting. I furthor re quest an investigation be held by you to ascertain whethor or not your su perintendent attempted to graft $300 from the contractor of tho heating plant to bo installed in the high school building now boing erectol by you. Grafting is not commendable any where, but in our public school nITairs it Is most reprehensible. Yours truly, "JOHN A. CARSON. Ho then addressed tho bonrd, nnd condemned the position of Mr. Condlt, that the nations of tho board aro not subjeet to review. Mr. CrolsNn objected to such state ments being made in tho absence of Mr. Condlt. The chair sustained tho speaker, and said that Mr. Condit had been urged to remain, Mr. Carson then urged tho re-election of tho three teachers, nnd stnted that, in their dis missal the teachers and a majority of tho board had been tricked. Mr. McMahan then asked that the reasons for these dismissals be given the committee. Mr. Acheson also asked for the reasons. Mr. Bayno stated that he was glad that Mr. Carson had mado the charges against Supt. Traver, and that he had expected to make similar charges. Mr. Bayno asked if the board was acting undor tho merit rule, nnd that n9 to whether It wns necessary to got unanimous nction of tho board to open up tho mnttor. Chairman Fletcher stated thnt if a motion woro made to reopen tho question ho would enter tain it. Dr. Byrd stntod that ho regretted tho nction of tho board in tho dismis sal of thoso teachers, and thnt ho thought nmends ought to bo mado as opportunity afforded. Ho bcllovcd nl so thnt tho board had nothing to do with tho picturo business of Prof. Trnvor, but moved that a commlttco of thrco bo appointed to invostignto tho "grafting" charge This motion carried, and tho chair appointed Messrs. Byrd, Leo and Condlt, as such conTmittco. ' It wns again urged that tho charges ngnlnst theso tcachors bo mado known, but Prof, Trnvor thought it would bo improper to glvo out such information. Mr. Bayno stated that tho city super intendent was unwilling to mnko such statements, nnd repented that ho con sidered it a cowardly net, Mr. Trnvcr stnted thnt ho had not been asked by tho board to mnko such charges pub lic. Mr. Carson nsked why, ns citizens nnd taxpayers, they could not have tho Information nsked for. Mr. Leo repeated that ho considorcd that it was unjust to him to havo Sn-j porintendont Trnvcr run to teachers nnd glvo out such parts of tho pro.' , coodings ns suited his intorosts, nnd put him (Mr. Leo) in a fnlso light bo- for tho people. Keho answered blank Tho requost wns ngnin mndo for tho charges ngalnst tho tcachors, and it wns suggested that tho meanost crim inal in tho penitentiary received tho right to n hearing, and that it wns con sidered no moro than just to tho teachers to havo tholr day in court. Tho various memuers of tho com mltteo thanked tho board for tholr courtesy, and stated that thoy would appear again at tho regular meeting Saturday ovening. Adjourned.
