; SUES FOR PLAGE
Court Issues Writ Requiring
School Board to Explain
' 1 Removal.
MRS". ALEXANDER REBELS
CSXandamus Action Will Bo Argued
fext MondayWoman Says She
, V Wis Ilcduccd In Rank
Without Cause.
An alternative writ of mandamus re
quiring the Portland School Board to
reinstate Mrs. Alevla Alexander as
principal of the girls' department of
the Benson Polytechnic School, or to
fihow cause why not. was issued by
the Circuit Court yesterday. The pe
tition for the writ, which was filed
yesterday, makes School District No.
1 and the members of the. School Board
and Superintendent Alderman parties to
Jthe case.
The petition asks that the Board be
compelled to restore Mrs. Alexander to
her former position or to a position of
Jike character and duties. It also asks
that the Board be restrained from in
terfering with her in the discharge of
Iher duties as such principal. Failing
to do this it is asked that they show
cause why such, a decree should not
be entered.
I Six Years a Principal.
The petition, which was filed for
Mrs. Alexander by her attorneys, A. E.
Clark and Franklin F. Korell, repre
sents that she has been & teacher In
the Portland schools for the past eight
years and that during six years of that
period she served as principal. During
the past year she declares she received
B. aalary of J215 for her regular duties
u principal of the girls' department of
the Benson Polytechnic School, $60 for
peven months for work as principal of
the night school and J150 a month
for one and one-half months as prin
cipal of the Summer school.
She declares that in April of this
year she was granted leave on sal
ary to go East and acquaint herself
with methods employed in school work
there with a view to revising courses
of study and improving methods of
work if considered advisable. She says
that she had no intimation that she
Was to be discharged from her- posi
tion. Mrs. Alexander says she was in
formed on August 4 that she was to
be supplanted in her position as prin
cipal and on August 17 that she was
to be transferred to the position of
assistant teacher of history at Wash
ington High School at a salary of $135
n. month.
Board Is Divided.
The charge is made in the petition
that only four members of the Board
iwere present at the meeting when the
Blleged election of a successor to Mrs.
viexander is said to have been made.
Of the four, it declares two members
Were in favor of such a change and
two opposed it. At that time she de
clares she protested in writing that it
Vas unlawful to remove her from her
position.
Mrs. Alexander declares that the
fiction of the School Board inflicts a
creat wrong upon her and is in effect
e determination by the defendants that
the is unfit and incompetent to hold
mch a position. She says that such
f ction impairs her opportunity to se
cure a like position.
Of her qualifications the petition says
rhe holds an unlimited state certificate.
It also declares that the school was
in a disorganized condition when she
took charge of it and had only 143
jiupils. The school now has 386 pupils.

Kelly Butte Explosion lias Effect of
j " Small Quake.
T Approximately 40,000 cubic yards of
rock was displaced and the entire
region in that vicinity was shaken as
by a small earthquake yesterday morn
ing at 11 o'clock when a blast con
Fisting of 12 tons of dynamite and
powder was shot off in the county
quarry at Kelly Butte.
The blast was put in by the county

be used in road work.
The blast was so well placed that

have cost about $1000 a year ago, it is
said, due to increased war prices.

200 STUDENTS AT CAMP
CHAPLAW GILBERT PLAN'S TO COX-
DUCT CLASSES.
Voung Soldiers Are Willing; to Go on
With Courses While Taking;
Training With Troops.
Probably 200 students just returned
from the border and now in camp with
the soldiers at Camp Withycombe will
not De enabled, for the present, to ob
tain their dischargee to attend school.
The order of the War Department
providing for the discharges of stu
dents upon satisfactory showings that
they were completing courses at some
institution of learning was suenendevl
just before the departure of the troops
rrom me Doraer.
The order also suspended a previous
order permitting the discharge of mar
ried men. Just why the order refer
ring to the discharge -of students was
revoked is not clear.
Colonel McLaughlin said last night
that a small number of students had
applied, for discharge. Their applica
tions remained unacted upon when the
later order came.
Chaplain Gilbert had arranged, to
conduct high school classes in camp
and most of the students had expressed
their willingness to remain in camp
and pursue their studies rather than
seek their discharges. The State Su
perintendent . of Schools and the Port
land School Board have agreed to give
full credit for all such work.

ably be moved Friday and the other

AOAMSON Ll OPPOSED
DLGHES CONDEMNS LEGISLATION
IN ADVANCE OF INVESTIGATION.
Republican Nominee Says Spirit of
Force Is Not American Plea Is
Made for Fair Dealing:.
LEXINGTON, Ky, Sept. 5. Charles
E. Hughes in a speech here today con
demned "legislation in advance of in
vestigation" and declared that the
United States "had gone very far to
ward the day when we shall have ac
tion under pressure instead of in con
sideration of the facts."
The nominee's remarks were inter
preted by many in the audience as ap
plying to the Aiamson law.
"We have a new spirit abroad in
America," he said. "It is the spirit
that demands legislation. In advance of
investigation. It is. the spirit of force.
It is not American.
"I desire fair dealing in this coun
try between man and man. I want to
sea every, part of class antagonism
vanish in the presence of the applica
tion of Just principles. I want what
is reasonable for labor. There is one
thing that underlies all, and that is
that in all our efforts to secure what
is just, that we keep the priceless in
stitutions of this land which distin
guish us as a free country.
"It may be very Important that here
and there there shall be a change in
the wage scale. I should be the first
to recognize any demand that is Just.'"
Mr. Hughes left here for Cincinnati
at 6:20 P. M.

William D'Arcy Ryan, Engineer of
World Fair System, Retraces Work
In Illustrated Lecture Here.
mmm
From the diagrams and blue prints
of 1912, through the realization of 1915
and back to the dust of dissolution in
1916, William D'Arcy Ryan, engineer of
Illumination of the Panama-Pacific Ex
position, retraced the great spectacle
last night in his lecture at the Lincoln
High School, under the auspices of the
Oregon Society of Electrical Engineers.
While Mr. Ryan devoted the major
part of his lecture to the illumination
features, the colored stereopticon views
which he used gave a complete history
of the great exposition in its every
detail of architecture and the audience
went from one burst of applause to
another as the beautiful scenes were
flashed before them.
Following the stereopticon .views, Air,
Ryan displayed a group of the prisms
used on the Tower of Jewels and ex
hibited the effect of varied lights upon
the pendent crystals.
"The Panama-Pacific Exposition has
passed," ho said, "but its effects are
going on and schemes of lighting in
all of the great cities of the United
States are being revolutionized by it.
Thus the exposition is being revived,
go to speak, on the streets of our
cities."
Mr. Ryan displayed in the beginning
of his lecture the engineers' charts that
were worked out, whereby every prob
lem of lighting and effects to be pro
duced was dealt with and a solution
found, even beforo the construction had
begun on the exposition grounds.
He called attention to the pageant of
illumination that is to be held in San
Francisco, October 4 and 5, and urged
every person who can arrange it, to be
there at that time and witness the re
sults of the development of the art of
illumination up to the latest moment.
Sir. Ryan was Introduced by O. M.
Clark, president of the Chamber of
Commerce, who has been his host dur
ing his visit in Portland. He will go
from here to Seattle and has arranged
to stop over again returning to San
Francisco, for another view pf the Co
lumbia Highway, which he has pro
nounced the most wonderful scenic road
in the orld. Mrs. Ryan will come
from San Francisco and join him here
at that time.
