LEGISLATORS HEAR
PLEA FOR SCHOOLS
Increase Asked Said Merely
to Meet Dollar's Drop.
SOLONS DO NOT WARM UP
Opim.Mtion to Introducing Subjects
Other Than Those Mentioned
by Hart Crops Out.
OLT.MPIA. Wa.h.. March V,. (Spe
cial.) Preliminary to asking: the spe
cial session of the legislature, which
convenes March 21 for enactment of
legislation for the financial relief
of the common schools of the state,
.Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston, state
superintendent of public Instruction,
appeared before an informal confer
ence of members of the appropriation
committee in the governor's office
this afternoon to urge support of the
eo-ralird "20-;0" law.
As proposed by Mrs. Preston,
backed by the state teachers' league,
the "20-L'O" law would increase the
present state and county contributions
of $10 each to the school fund to $-0
each. The "10-10" law in effect at
present was passed in 1009. and Mrs.
J'reston in presenting arguments for
enactment of new legislation ex
pressed the view that since that time
the purchasing value of the dollar
had been' cut in half so that what the
schools were in reality asking was
not an increase, but to be placed on I
the same financial basis they were
on when the present law was passd.
F.duetara Support Kfforl.
The state superintendent was sup
ported before, the conference by a
delegation of educators, including
M. J. Geigcr. superintendent of Ta
coma schools; A. C. Davis, city super
intendent of Yakima schools and
president of the Washington Kduca
lional association; Alfred Lister, sec
retary of the Tacoma school board;
A. S. Burrows, county superintendent
of Kins county; Miss Minnie D. Bean,
superintendent of Pierce county; H. l.
Hopkins, president of the State
Teachers' l.easue. and C. C. Hras. ed
itor of the Northwest Educational
Journal.
While no formal action was taken
at the meeting, it is understood mem
bers of the legislature present did
not become enthusiastic over the
prospects lor the introduction of the
meeting, decided that the preferential
right of soldiers to file upon home
stead lands. Is of no practical benefit
to the soldiers, as there are not suf
ficient claims suitable for agricul
tural purposes to make a drop in the
bucket.
The post went on record against
making any request to the govern
ment for bonus or other assistance,
but in case any action is taken by the
government it would be welcomed.
A special committee reported that
Marshfield merchants who have been
patronizing an offensive newspaper
at Astoria have withdrawn support
and no more advertising will be given
that periodical.
Mair Dano was elected commander
of the post; John Ferguson, vice-commander;
George C. Huggins, adjutant;
John Cook, treasurer; Ilobert Dillard,
historian.

DISSATISFACTION" WITH CTTV
SUPERINTENDENT CAUSE.
Parent-Teacher Associations Con
deinn Action of School Board in
Kctaininjr Obnoxious Official.
EL'GKXE, Or.. March 15. (Special.)
Not one grade teacher. in the Eu
gene schools who signed the recent
agreement not. to serve in the local
schools should W. R. Rutherford, city
superintendent, be retained by the
board of education for another year
will repudiate the agreement, accord
ing to leaders of the movement.
Since the announcement of the
board that the present superintendent
has been retained for another year
the teachers have had two meetings
and at each every one of the teach
ers who has declared against his ad
ministration has stated that positions
will be sought elsewhere, notwith
standing the fact that Eugene has al
ways been the home of many of them
and they would prefer to teach here.
Resolutions condemning the action
I of the board in retaining Mr. Ruther
j ford were adopted unanimously at a
meeting of the parent-teacher asso
ciation of the Condon school Satur
day night and similar action was
taken at a meeting of the Patterson
parent-teacher association the pre
vious night. P'eeling over the con
troversy is intense.
Practically 100 per cent of the
grade teachers of the city, it is de
clared, signed the agreement not to
serve under Superintendent Ruther
ford, and heads of the grade teach
ers' union and the parent-teacher as
sociations say they believe there is
no break in the ranks. J
Right Leg Injured From Foot to
Above Knee and Left Leg About
Half Way to Knee.
ROSEBLT.G, Or., March 15. (Spe
cial.) Suffering from severe burns
on both legs, the 18-months-old
daughter- of Mr. and Mrs. F. S.
Meagher of Portland was brought
here from West Fork late yesterday
and placed under medical sare.
The baby, who was in the care of
her grandmother, Mrs. J. B. Sloan
was taken to West Fork a few days
ago, where they were visiting, and
yesterday morning the child was
given her bottle nd left in bed, but
soon her screams attracted attention
and rushing in the family found the
bed clothing on fire, with the lower
part of the baby's nightgown blazing.
The origin of the fire is jnystify-
ing, but it is conjectured that per
haps the baby had in some way got
ten hold of a match and in playing
with it started the blaze. The right
leg is badly burned from the foot to
above the knee, and the left leg
about half way to the knee.
Physicians fear amputation may be
necessary to save the child's life.
Mr. and Mrs. Meagher arrived this
morning from Portland.
