CAPITAL BAKERY 43 Court Street Pbono 954 SUPERIIITEIIDEHT POWERS QUITS JOB AT SALEM STUDENT BODY AFFAIRS ARE TO BE RE. INVESTIGATED BY AN OTHER EXPERT AND THE FI NANCE COMMITTEE NEW TOUCHERS MAKE THEIR AP TEARANCE TO HELP EXPLAIN SHORTAGES NO ACTION TAK EN ON TEACHERS. At a meeting of the school board Saturday night, the resignation of J. M. Powers as city superintendent of Salem schools was received and ac cepted. The only condition, In sub mitting the resignation was that the board pass a resolution exonerating the superintendent from any blame in connection with the turmoil and strife that has existed among the faculty of .the high school, which resolution was prepared by Superin tendent Powers and Is as follows: "Whereas, The report has been published as coming from an author itative source, that a majority of this board has agreed to reauest the resignation of the superintendent. and further, that In the event such request was refused, a majority of the board would then prefer charges against the superintendent with a view to his dismissal by the board, therefore, "Be It resolved, That a majority of this board has never entered, and has never' contemplated entering into any sncli agreements as have been reported; that such reports were untrue, having no foundation in fact; that they were unauthorized by the board and should not have been published." "Be It further resolved, that this board appreciates at its full value the high character of the service ren dered to this school district during the last eight years by Superintend ent J, M. Powers, and sincerely re grets that any report derogatory to this view should have gtined publicity. "Be it further resolved, that the clerk be, and he Is hereby author ized and requested to spread these resolutions upon the minutes, and to mail a copy thereof to each of the local dally papers, and to the Ore gonian and Evening Telegram of Portland, Or., accompanied with a request for their publication." Prior to the Introduction and-pas-sage of the resolution, Mr. Powers made a statement In which he said, In part, "During the last year there has been a lack of harmony among those connected with the city's schools. I believe that the highest duty of those connected with the schools can only be reached by for getting the Individual and thinking only of the best Interests of the pub lic to be served. I regret that my financial condition has not been such that I could forget myself sooner, but I have now reached the point where I intend to forget myself. I will go as far as I can to show the people that I am desirous of elimin ating friction from our schools and do It at once." After the reading of the resolu tion by the school clerk, Mr. Miles took the floor and made a plea for the adoption of the resolution in which he stated that he considered that Mr. Powers was making a great sacrifice in tendering his resignation and that the superintendent was meeting the proposition more than half way. He felt that there was nothing in the resolution thatBhould cause any member of the board to vote against its adoption and he hoped that It would pass. He said that Superintendent Powers had pre sented the olive branch of peace and It was now up to the board to adopt or reject It. At this Juncture Chair man Moores called Director Holt to the chair. Moores then made a mo tion that the resolution be adopted and supplemented his remarks with a statement that he held the resig nation of Mr. Powers in his pocket and that he would submit It to the board Immediately upon the passage of the resolution. Mr. Lafky re marked that he might have some thing to say about the resolution, but on account of -the best Interests of the public Bchools, which he was earnestly trying to serve to the best of his ability, that he was willing to Bwallow all accusations and insinu ations. The resolution ' was passed unanimously. Chalrmun Moores then said, "I reluctantly hand you the resignation of Superintendent Pow ers. With this matter out of the way, a difficulty aione aver tlm report of the special Investigating committee of the finances of the asxocliited . student body. The matter was brought to the attention of the board by a commun ication from Prof. U. L. Kirk, In which he quoted the nummary of the report of the Investigating commit tee, Mr. Kirk InHlstod that as the report questioned his honesty and In tegrity as well as that of Prof Moore, and that the report of the In vestigating committee was blaRed and Incomplete. Mr. Kirk contended that as a teacher's stock In trade Is his honor and Integrity, that both he and " -"- ' .-v-.. A LOWER BELMONT .Cluett, Peabody Si Co. makers of AEROw COLLARS Mr. Moore should have an opportun ity at once to face the charges. This brought Mr. Schrelber into the con troversy who defended the report and stated that the financial affairs ot the student body were In very bad shape. Mr. Schrelber then continued to give his version of the condition of affairs In the student body to con siderable length, so" that Chairman Mores, realizing that a great deal of the talk was foreign to the (matter before the board, called the meeting to order and quiet was once more obtained. Mr. Lafky then took the matter up and was warned by the chairman to be as brief as possible, as a great deal of time was being wasted over trifling matters. Mr. Lafky at great length attempted to Justify methods ot. expenditure and irregularities In the . transactions of the student body affairs. G. W. Eyre was also allowed the courtesy of the floor and talked on student body affairs. He contended that It Is a matter Into which the school board should not enter. The finances of that body are provided by the stu dents and their parents and not by taxation. He said the students liked all the teachers and honored all the officials of the schools as well as the board and that they got value re ceived for all moneys spent In the different activities of the student body. He was In favor of turning the whole matter over to that body, but his view did not meet with much favor by the board as a resolution, was drafted which called for an In vestigation of the accounts and re ports by the Finance committee of the board, (Millard and Lafky), and an expert accountant. When It became known that Mr. Kirk and Mr. Moore were not to have an opportunity of refuting the charges at last night's meeting, Mr. Moore arose and dramatically stated that he had the vouchers and proofs of his expenditures as manager of the football team and they were sub mitted to the board. Mr. Davis, verified the vouchers as having been submitted to the Investigating com mittee, which reported that he had not furnished such reports and vouchers as was customary for man agers to submit. ' The vouchers were inspected by the members of the board. At this point Clifford Farmer, of the auditing com nilttee, was asked to examine these vouchers and on Inspection said be had never seen them before and they had never been submitted. Prof. Schrelber looked at them and said these vouchers had been asked for by the committee, but had not been produced by Mr. Moore, who told the auditing committee that they were lost. Prior to adjournment, however, Mr, Lafky Introduced a resolution which had for Its purpose the dissolution SALEM BANK & TRUST CO.!

Chairman Moores doubted the legality of the movement and asked Mr. Larky If he had consulted an attornoy, or wheth er he had gotten an opinion from the attorney general on the subject, to which Mr. Lafky replied he had the attorney general's opinion on the matter. This matter will be made a special order of business for the next regular meeting, which Is next 8aturday. No action was tnken on selection of teachers. ' The school board committee to re investigate the finances of the stu- dont body Is composed of supporters of Prof, Kirk and It is believed they will bring In an entirely frlondly re port and will not probe anything of an unpleasant nature. Mr. Lafky offered the resolution to Irvestlgate the affairs of the student body verbally. It took him som time to get It stated right to the clerk, and contained nothing requir ing a sweeping or thorough Investi gation. The Investigation as provid ed by this resolution is to be only along certain lines. The nature of the charges nre so grave, as found by the autdltlng committee that he himself moved the abolition of the student body activities. If his reso lution carries, Salem Is to be the only high school city in the stato where there are to be no atudoat body activities because the manage-' ment has been looBe, Irregular and apparently conducted In an unbusl ness like manner The general con sensus of opinion is that the student body affairs are in need of thorough reformation but not many will go so tar as to say there should be no student body activities whatever, o GreBham Is to have a fruit cannery.
