C. E. Cleveland, were made In the ap- . peal filed yesterday with the School Board of Appeals by K. F.

His dismissal by the board followed '. a complaint filed by him and later in ; vesticated by the board in which he ; charted Principal Cleveland with beine t necrlifirent. Incompetent and unfit for 1 bis position and asked that he be dis missed. Principal Cleveland was given V a hearing and exonerated by the board. .ater on complaints submitted by Actinic Superintendent Grout and -distant Superintendent Whitney, the ' board voted to discharge Mr. Williams. ; l-ack of harmony between Mr. Williams and Mr. Cleveland, which was held harmful to the school administration, ; was given as the reason. When notice ; of dismissal was served on Mr. Williams lie asserted he would fleht it and en . pared as his attorney, William S. ; U'Jien. Dlreefer Itnu Acenaed. In the appeal Mr. Williams alleges that before he brought charges against t Principal Cleveland he talked the mat- ter over with Director Thomas, who .' advised him to bring the matter be ; fore the school board, saying he "was ; among friends." Jn concurring with the action taken by the school board which exonerated Principal Cleveland by dismissing the charges as "frivo lious" and by later discharging- Mr. . Williams as unfit because of having filed those charges, the appeal declares ' that Director Thomas acted in bad ; faith. J "The charges filed against Principal ' Cleveland were in good faith." the ap-'- peal asserts. The appellant alleges further that "if the board of directors J had been willing to hear all the truth concerning those charges and if wit- nesses could have been produced and J examined, the charges could have been proved." Further evidence of the al- leged unfitness and Incompetency of '. Principal Cleveland are then set forth. ; Among them are listed the following alleged Instances: Discipline Declared Bad. As the result of the common practice " among the students of converting rub ber bands Into bean shooters, bits of metal and chalk were shot around the shoprooms with the result that Lind say Caldwell, a student, was hit In his left eye so that sight was utterly destroyed.

LID IS IDENTIFIED AS PAROLE VIOLATOR Murder Suspect Once Served Term in Washington. WOMAN BEFORE GRAND JURY Miss Augusta Carlson, Alleged Wife of Prisoner, Admits to Police She Is Aot Married. John Cyril Liard, alleged murderer of Frank W. Twombley, was Identified yesterday as J. K. Giles, alias Jack Knight, who was sent to the Wash ington State Penitentiary from Lewis County July 4. 1915, and who was granted a conditional pardon- August 4, 1918. Liard is now wanted at the prison as a parole violator. Local police records show that Liard was sentenced from five to ten years n the Walla Walla Penitentiary for robbery. At the time of his trial Liard said be was a surveyor and that his home was in Seattle, Wash. Chief Inspector Clark said yesterday hat Miss Augusta Carlson, the girl who says she was with Liard on the night he Is said to have robbed C G, Ilerrman. a tender on the Interstat bridge, and shot Twombley, has admit ed that she is not married. Unless th defense can prove that she is Liard' wife, she will be a competent witness against him in both the robbery and murder cases. Woman Before Grand Jury. Miss Carlson was taken before the grand Jury yesterday to tell her story. She was taken over the scene of the rime in an automobile and described the robbery and murder to the police in great detail. The net around Liard has tightened until it seems almost impossible that he should escape. He has from two o seven years coming in Walla Walla Penitentiary, and it is probable that if e went back there he would De obliged to serve his full sentence. Besides that, police have strong evi ence connecting him with both the rain robbery near Seattle and the Twombley murder, both of which may i punished by life sentence. Prisoner Remains Sullen. But the prisoner remains sullen and efiant. He has not as yet been told that Miss Carlson has turned against im. The grand Jury had not returned n indictment against Liard. at a late our last night. The authorities probably will accept as true Miss Carlson's statement that he was forced to keep silence if she ppears in court as a witness for the state. Without her evidence it would be difficult to convict him of the mur der, although Herrman's testimony probably would be sufficient to send ira to prison for the robbery. Some the liberty bonds stolen from the train near Seattle have been found in Liard's possession, police say, and pos tal authorities are working on that case. had just been discharged from the Ca nadian army.

The former Portlander was wounded by shrapnel on Christmas night, 1916, but stayed at the front for several months after that, before being in valided back to England. He did not again get in shape for front line trench service. Indicative of the gruel ling experiences encountered by his unit was the fact that in the first eight months !t spent in France his battal ion's personnel was reduced to 90 men. Mr. Roberts is not sure that he will remain in Portland, but refers to his present stay as a "visit with relatives." 60 WILL RECEIVE MEDALS SOLDIERS WHO AIDED IX "FLU" EPIDEMIC TO BE HONORED.

It was a magnificent spec tacle, and the spirit of democracy and good fellowship dominated. Each table represented a nation, and upon each was a handsome card with the name of the country and the colors handsomely embellished thereon. All the attendants at the tables wore the National costume, and during the dinner a parade of wallies . wound through the tables, one line being headed by Uncle Sam and the other by Liberty. It was an., inspiring sight. Another feature was ' the community sing, each plate having a card with the words of five National airs. Opening the musical programme the assemblage sang the "Star-Spangled Banner." later followed by "Joan of Arc," "Rule Brit tania." the "Marsellaise." and "Amer ica." The singers were led by the orchestra and a quartet, and a number of the well-known vocalists of the city who were among the guests. One of the largest tables and from several viewpoints the most important was "America" at which the president of the club. Graham Glass, presided. One of the numerous impromptu sur prises of the evening was when Uncle Sam and a corps of assistants released a flock of tri-colored balloons, which floated through the drawing-room, dining-room and ballroom, the guests eagerly grasping at them, and throw ing them about from table to table. It was not only a vast amount of fun, but also a pretty feature. One of the most important points of the decorative scheme was that ar ranged In the broad hall, in the alcove under the staircases Here was a back ground of a handsome silken robe, of red. white and blue, supported by standards bearing the allied colors. In front of this was an easel showing the names of 4 members of the club in service, and three gold stars. One vacant chair on one side of the honor roll, was draped with the service flag, and a chair on the other side held a service uniform, field hat, ammunition ti)y to normal pronoruona. Adv. .

Official Information received from Washington. D. C. by Brigadier General Brice P. Disque gives figures relative to aerial strength that are convincing proof of the aircraft supe riority of America and the allies. Within a single year," said. General Disque, "we have eclipsed the aircraft superiority of Germany and have es tablished a ratio of approximately six to one in our favor." The official statement of aircraft strength follows: The number of allied airplanes on the western front when the armistice was signed was approximately 10,000. It was understood that the enemy air. plane strength on the western front last Summer was 3500 planes. The allied armistice terms originally re quired the enemy to turn over 2000 airplanes, which number was later modified to 1700. The rate of production in America had reached 450 Army planes per week. The rate of production of serv ice planes only by our allies for the American forces approximated 500 per month. Some of these belated lots were sold at 35 cents to suburban dealers, but most of the receipts were still on hand at the close of business and will have to be put into storage for future use.
