V
California Is Read Into Record
and Women Tell of Regard
for Mrs. Alexander!
The hearing of charges against Mrs.
Aleviav Alexander, demoted principal of
Benstrn "Poly" for girls, brought be
fore the School Board by Superin
tendent Alderman, reached the heated
stage last night. Dr. E. A. Sommer,
iormer School Director, added consid
erable ginger to last night's testimony.
'; "I spoke to Hammer about this
eafee," said the witness, "and told him
It was a damned shame to send Mrs.
Alexaader East on a vacation and then
bump her when she got baek."
Last night's audience was distinctly
highbrow. School teachers, Parent
Teacher members and uplifters, 99 per
,cent women, made up the spectators,
- but when Dr. Sommer used the great
big D, there was loud applause.
Attempt Made to Show Animin.
This occurred during cross-examination,
when Attorney Robert McGuire,
for Superintendent Alderman, sought
to show animus against that official
"was behind Dr. 'Sommer's,' testimony.
Lack of ' harmony between the two
while Dr. Sommer was a member of the
Board was well known. '
"Didn't you say In speajting of this
. caee, 'This is where r am g-oing to take
my coat off and show 'em up?" " ques
tioned Mr.t McGuire.
"I did not," was the reply. Asked fur
ther as to what he had said to Director
O. M. Flummer, Dr.Sommcr said:
"1 suppose Plummer could fill a book
a yard long with conversations I have
had with him on Alderman's incom
petency." .
"Did yon offer Mrs. Alexander an?
financial assistance In this case?"
asked Attorney McGuire.
Question Declared Impossible-
Dr. Sommer seemed to struggle for
eelf-control. He hesitated before he re
plied, and then ha said:-'
"I think that is an absolutely dirty,
low-down question to ask a gentle
man." Again applause swept tile highbrow
audience and Chairman .Beach had to
rap with his gavel to restore order.
Dr. Sommer testified to the organiza-
under Frank Rigler, who, after his re
tirement from the position of super
intendent of schools, became supervisor
of special schools. -. "v-
Mr. Rigler, said the witness, had
Sr-taJ. confidence in Mrs. Alexander
arid she was appointed without ques
tion. The school thrived, grew in num
bers, and became one of. the show
placed of the city's school system. He
said the Rotary Club and other clubs
eon and be thought Mr. Alderman was
proud of the institution. .. v
Ex-Pastor's 1lfe Testifies.
"Did ycu show the visitors .through
the school at such times?" asked At
torney McGuire. - ''.
"Oh, yes; we were strong on that
stuir replied Dr. tooinmer. .
Mrs. W. B. Hinson, wife of the for-
mer pastor of the White ffemple, was
an excellent character witness for Mrs.
.Alexander, one ioia oi a conversation
she had with Superintendent Alderman
.last January in which he spoke in en
thusiastic terms of Mrs. Alexander and
her work. - '
"He-said she was a woman I would
- enjoy meeting and that she had done
a wonderful work . at the Benson
. School," eaid-the witness. "He was
very eulogistic of her work. Later 1
visited the school, met llrs. Alexander.
and was very much impressed witJa her
conduct, of the school. It. was a de
lightful visit. I enjeyed it very much
and I have often recalled it since. Mrs.
Alexander struck me as being highly
capable." i v -
Kdncat.r'a Praise Recorded.
' A. E. Clark, attorney for Mrs. Alex
ander, read into the records a minute
from the school board records of last
January, In which the visit of A. -C.
Htirker, superintendent of the schools
of Oakland, Cal., was mentioned. Su
perintendent Barker' praieed Portland's
schools and he lauded the Benson
Trade 6chool as the best on the Coast.
Miss Anna Iverson, art-instructor at
Benson "Poly," also testified in praise
of Mrs. Alexander's leadership. She
said she felt it a privilege to teach un
der her direction, that she co-operated
with the teachers--and students and
helped them, and her criticism, when
necessary, was kindly. She said the
first criticism she had heard of Mrs.
Alexander was the round robin circu
lated a few days before the Fall term
met, and she refused to sign the state
ment. . - .
Miss Helen Eprague, teacher in sew
ing at the trade school, said Mrs. Alex-
ander, so far as she knew, had the
confidence and respect of thel teachers
ana .that she co-operated with them
Th rnniwl t- n K I n -11-1. i CUA u .c1f.i1
to sign, was the first intimation she
had of criticism of her principal, and
ehe declined to eign it. She said the
round robin, she was told, was request
ed as a statement to the school board
as an indorsement of Miss Tingle.
The next hearing in the series of the
Alexander case will be next Thursday
