Sev- era! employes at Nogales, Sonora, were" arrested today by agents of the Mexican government, following the discovery and con- fiscation of 22 kegs of car- tridges consigned to Mexico, at Empalme. The kegs were shipped by an American firm at St. liOuis, and were marked "nails." Two Inches of nails were packed above false bottoms at each end of the kegs. It was reported that the Mexl- can authorities would demand of the United States a thorough Investigation of the affair. HAVE DEED DECIDED Oil Will City Superintendent Powers, Principal Kirk, Professor Fargo, and Professor Schrelber, all be relieved of their positions by the school board? Friends of each of them are be ginning to ask themselves that ques tlon now that It Is learned from re liable authority that the school board after considering the whole matter has reached the conclusion to hire new instructors in their places, as signing as the reason that this Is the only way to eliminate discord from the city schools. The trouble dates back to a year ago, when differences seem to have arisen between City Superintendent Powers and Principal Kirk, The or iginal plan seemed to have been to relieve City Superintendent Powers, Professor Fargo and Professor Schrelber, but the board evidently concluded that this would but bring down on its heads all kinds of, criti cism and has now concluded to let the gilded ax hIko fall on the neck of Kirk. There seems never to have been any charges or Incompetency pre ferred against City Superintendent Powers, Professor Fargo or Profes sor Schrelber. According to the or iginal plan, Powers was scheduled to go because he could nut agree with Kirk, and Fargo and Schrelber be cause they sympathized with Powers. Evidently finding that this end could not be attained and Kirk bo retained, they have decided to let Kirk go In order to attain It. When the board meets Saturday night, It will likely only select the teachers who are not Involved In tbe controversy and at a subsequent meeting decided with relation to Powers Kirk, Fargo anil Schrelber. The Capital Journal Is reliably In formed that this decision has been reached by the teachers' committee appointed at a recent speclul session of the board of education. o Plenty of Appllnnits.
