Captain Edmonstone Cleared
of Charges.
MR. THOMAS BELLIGERENT
Fireworks Start When Resolution
Is Presented by Mr. Woodward
Expunging Allegations.
BY BEN Hl'R LAMPMAX.
With a single stroke of kalsomlne.
and against one dissenting vole, direc
tors of school district No. 1. assem
bled in session Wednesday night, ex
punged the several charges preferred
against Captain George Edmonstone
superintendent of properties, and
completely exonerated him. The mass
cf testimony thus obliterated, much
of which remained unrefuted. had
necessitated three previous sessions
of the property committee and sum
moning of a score of witnesses.
"No!" voted Frank L. Shull, as the
rollcall circulated. .
Troposed by Director Woodward,
after consideration of the Kdmond
stone hearine had been moved to the
fore, the adoption of the resolution
created a sultry atmosphere of
charge and founter charge, explana
tion and reproof, that lasted for a
half hour, with partisans cheering on
the speakers.
Mr. Shull Pimrm I. one Hand.
Save for a friendly word or so. Di
rector Shull, who initiated the prop
erties inquiry and conducted it.
played a lone hand. He reiterated
his belief that an "Inner ring" has
existed in the school board, hfs de
termination to do his duty as he sees
It. and his candid suspicion of
George B. Thomas, director.
Briefly, ttte charges relating to
Captain Kdmondstone and which wtre
cast aside by the directorial action,
were: That competent employes hart
been dismissed without cause; that
employes had been assigned to pri
vate work during school hours and
while on school pay and that em
nloyes had both campaigned and col
lected funds, at the instruction of
their superiors, for the candidacy of
George B. Thomas in the last school
election, such political activities
being carried on during school hours.
Testimony rriivpn Specific.
Tile testimony of witnesses on
these points had been specific and
exact, and had to a large degree re
mained uncontradicted by the de
fense which merely had insisted,
supporting the claim with some mi
nor testimony, upon the authority of
Captain Kdmondstone to discharge for
cause employes of the properties de
part ment.
At the outset of the session Di
rector Thomas moved that the con
sideration of the verdict be first In
the order of business, and that the
property committee, of which him
seft and Director Martin are mem
bers, be excused from a report. He
felt, he said, that inasmuch as the
testimony tiad been heard by all mem.
bpra of the board, with me exception
of Chairman Xewill. the board itself
should consider a finding, thus in
suring "a more unbiased report."
"Gentlemen," asked Chairman Xew
ill, in some amazement, "what is the
board to consider?"
He was answered on the moment
by Director Woodward, who unfolded
a typewritten resolution, read it. and
moved its adoption with the chair
man clearly nonplussed and Director
Shull smiling slightly. The resolution
in full was as follows:
. "Referring to the charges framed
by Director Frank Shull reflecting
upon the ' character and administra
tion of Superintendent of Properties
llenrire Kdmondstone. it I. th Inriir-
m(.nt of thi board haspd nnon ,hl'
hearings that have been held, that
the charges in question have not been
sustained and are unworthy of fur
their consideration by this board."
Une by one the directors answered
the rollcall with "Aye," save when
Director Shull voted In the negative.
Yet hard on the echo of the responses
Chairman Newlll resigned the chair
to Director Shull and proposed a
resolution of confidence in the latter,
coupled with a resolve that hereafter
I h . nnllov . . t" ( I .. itlat pint ahntl . ,
close scrutiny of all time cards to I
guard against any repetition of theftr
of school time.
Director Shull Is Salved.
"I wish to make a resolution," he
said, "with regard to this matter.
That it is the opinion of the board
that Director Shull has In every way
acted in accordance with his con
science, and that hereafter the policy
shall be that all time cards shall be
scrutinized."
"I miKht wish to vote 'No' on one
and 'Yes' on the other." was the bel
ligerent object ion of Director Thomas,
who proposed the segregation of the
two matters.
Director Newill ignored the request
and again moved the adoption of the
resolution, insisting that It should be
clearly recognized that the Institution
of the properties inquiry by Director
Shull had been conscientiously under
taken "for the children, parents and
taxpayers of the district." Director
Woodward shook his head reluc
tantly. Iloard In "False Light.'-'
"Mr. Chairman." he said. "I would
like to vote for that motion, and I
shall vote for it, but it Is unfortunate
that Mr. Shull should have forgotten
the status of his fellow members. He
hm placed us In a false light, and he
should set us right before the pub
lic." In the ensuing pause the director
appealed to signified no Intent to
comply, and Director Klsman practi
cally reiterated the appeal, adding
that Director Shull had been quoted
in a newspaper interview as declar
ing the existence of an inner ring in
ths board, a statement which had of
fended him and his fellow directors.
Director Shull had subsequently as
sured him. he said, that the quotation
was unauthorized.
Vote of onfldrnre Ilefled.
"Before I v'ote." challenged Director
Thomas, turning once more to Di
rector Shull. "I'd like to have you tell
us what members' of this board you
took this up with before you went to
the papers."
Badgered by the empty taunt In
asmuch as no details of the antici
pated testimony had ever been re
leased prior to the statements of the
witnesses themselves Director Shull
rose and made reply, gradually
warming to his theme.
"Really. I think this resolution Is
out of order." he said. "I do not care
for a vote of confidence with a string
to It. Since the case has been de
cided and everything is lovely, I'm
perfectly satisfied. But that brings
me to the attitude that I am on trial.
I am willing to be considered In that
light."
Director Di fi-iuU Attitude.
Here he related how he had talked
with Director Clark relative to the
charge against Captain Kdmondstone
and had been aware, that Director
Woodward himself had discussed
with dismissed employes their griev
i ances which lter Were aired In tes
! timony. In substance he charged
that hoard members were aware of
the nature of the Inquiry. Chairman
Newill, it should be said, was absen;
from the city during the investiga
tion. "I know that Mr. liisman Is abso
lutely conscientious in any action
that he takes or any vote," continued
Director Skull. "I believe that Mr.
Mariin and Mr. Clark have acted con.
scieivtiously. So far as this question
'of the inner ring ia concerned. I say j
; again that the Interview was sub-
stanuany correct. i-ome or you seem ;
particularly sensitive about the ex
I presslon, 'inner ring.' Yet Mr. Wood- I
tJJZ
I vious meeting when he said that 'the
steam-roller was working.' I wonder
what he meant by that?"
Mr. Shall Digs Dp Pant.
He turned to instances in the past,
when Important business had been
proposed without preliminary discus
sion and voted through In an expe
ditious manner.
"The term inner ring' may be
wrong." pursued Director Shull. "but
such actions as these mean some
thing." Facing Director Woodward, whe
had presented the resolution which )
dismissed his charges as "unworthy
, r further attention " Dfrector Shul"
launt.ned a query a9 to his good faith
in the inquiry and the finding.
' Tonight ha votes that these
charges have not been proved." said
Director Shull, "yet when returning
from the hearing the other night he
said to me: "It's perfectly plain that
Director -Thomas has been working
the old political game in the shop for
his own Interests.'
Substantially Word for Word..
'Word for word. Frank?" asked Di
rector Woodward.
"Substantially." was the reply.
"And I do think." resumed Director
Shull. "that the members of this
board should get this view of him.
He grows' very pathetic in his
speeches and criticism of me be
cause I brought something to the at
tention of the public before I brought
ito him. 1 am going to stay on this
board until my time is done, and do
things as I see them regardless of any
criticism from Brother Woodward."
The situation had been a difficult
one for Director Thomas he had
been restrained for some time from
;he attack. But he lunsed It again,
extolling Director Woodward and up
braiding Director Shull.
.Mr. ThoinUM "Kxplodctt."
"You said here tonight." he ex
''lded, "that you had complete con
fidence in every other director but
myself. But for some time you sup
ported every proposition I brought to
'his board and congratulated me. You
said that you were for me before the
election, yet you told Xewill that I
couldn't win." ,
Veering to the question of his per
sonal honor. Director Thomas shout
ed, to the vociferous applause of half
the audience: 'They say I do, but
you can't put your finger on anything
I do that isn't honorable! And I
won't stand for this abuse of Wood
ward, either. Mr. Shull if you have
anything against any member of this
board the place to take it is the grand
jury. If I have anything against
anyone or against you I'll take It
there. I won't play the baby act by
taking it before some tribunal that
has no power."
Mr. Shull Still on Job.
"I'm here on the Job." was the calm
response of Director Shull, "and I'll
stand for whatever I do. Mr. Thomas
can stand for whatever he does." He
' added that so far as support is con
cerned Director Thomas shall have
his whenever it is merited.
In a comparative lull the resolu
tion, combining a vote of confidence
in Director Shull and a decision to
safeguard the time card system, was
put by rollcall. Each director, with
the exception of Shull and Thomas,
approved it. The former was silent.
The latter barked "Xo!" and glared
as he cast his vote.
In a statement upholding Captain
Edmondstone, and mildly criticising
Director Shull for not having settled
the Inquiry within the board, Direc
tor Martin paid tribute to the motives
lnal prumpieo. me uvnua.ww. .iu
he integrity of Us originator.
the spirit of Director Thomas,
it's a Break for Life.
"He (Shull) comes up here to
night," he said, "and tells me that he
hasn't confidence in me. I don't
want his confidence and he'll never
have mine again ."
In this fashion the Kdmondstone
Inquiry came to a close, and the
board rambled away on the routine
of school affairs. The audience
dwindled regretfully, and its single
i spokesman was G. Springer, who
wished to address the directors. .Mr.
Springer said that the newspapers
had been somewhat indiscreet in
their reports of the hearing, but that
it was all for the best, and the board
should feel glad that the affair was
so "happily ended.
At the ensuing regular session the
matter of Director Thomas' proposed
trips to the National Education asso
ciation one immediately pending and
another set for next summer was
discussed. He is chairman of the vo
cational education department of the
association. Because public criticism
had been directed againt such trips
on the part of Director Thomas it was
at first suggested that the members
of the board personally defray his
expenses. This was declined by the
director.
A vote on a motion that the district
pay the expenses of both trips was
lost, with Directors Clark. Martin and
Woodward voting for it. A subsequent
motion that the district provide funds
for the first trip was carried, Witt
Director Shull casting the only dis
senting vote. As Director Shull had
said that he would not accept unless
the decision of the board was unani
mous, the matter yet remains unset
tled. PRUNARIANPUJ FORWARD

UNDER FIRE AGAIN
Bureau Officials Told Cash
Must Go to Poor.
HOT ANSWER IS GIVEN
Marshall X. Dana Says County May
Take Charge or Charity Funds
if Dissatisfaction Exists.
Investigation of the overhead and
administration of county relief funds
through the public welfare bureau
will continue, according to declara
tion made Wednesday by County Com
missioner Rudeen at a meeting of
the executive staff of the bureau, a
number of the directors and others
interested In the work.
Mr. Rudeen stated. In his speech
following detailed accounts of the ad
ministrative system, that hewas not
standing on a question of giving too
much to the poor, but rather of giv
ing more if necessary, so long as It
was applied in the right place.
"The money must go to the poor."
declared Commissioner Rudeen.
"When the overhead gets so great
that It takes up half the capital, it is
time it must be curtailed."
Reply In Made.
The speech drew the reply from
Marshall N. Dana, president of the
bureau, that at any time the county
court considered that It was in a po
sition to administer the funds in a
more equitable way the organization
was willing for it to take back the
work that has been delegated to the
bureau for the past few years. The
affairs at present are such that close
co-operation is necessary between
the bureau and the county court and
the bureau is ready to place every
thing upon the table for considera
tion, he declared.
Exceeding of Budget Barred.
Commissioner Holman stated that it
was up to the welfare bureau to live
within its budget. The poor may
get along on less, he declared, but
the county must see the welfare bu
reau through to the end of the year
In providing necessities, even though
the second allotment of county
money has been exnausted by the
bureau.
A. R. Qephart. general secretary of
the bureau, and members of the
executive force explained the work
ing of the organization and the par!
carried out by the paid workers and
other members.
1 10.000 I Spent.
The bureau has expended approx
imately $7S. 000 of county relief funds
and $35,000 community chest funds
during the present year. From 75
to 80 per cent of the money goes for
actual relief expenditures, he de
clared. At present approximately 700 fam
ilies aie under care of the board and
101 cases have been added within
the last two and one-half days, ac
cording to Mr. Gephart. County
funds apportioned for the work are
again at the point of exhaustion.
Members of the executive staff re
lated instances to illustrate the value
of complete records in cases, both for
initial handling and for future ref
erence. Other instances were cited
where families or heads of familie?
had been shown means of meeting
their needs without charity funds
through the assistance of a trained
welfare worker who went over their
affairs.
Wnrkem Are Defended.
A man in the audience testified
that after an injury two years ago
relief was asked In his family.
Through the assistance of welfare
workers, he stated, a home laundry
had been organized which has sup
ported the family since, and no char
ity money was expended on him.
Philip A. Parsons of the University
of Oregon declared that criticism of
trained social workers as sentimental
college girls was not founded on a
knowledge of the facts of the case.
STUDENTS SHINING SHOES
Juniors at Washington University
Tackle New Role.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Dec. 7. (Spe
cial.) Shine, sir?
That's the cry that will be set up
tomorrow by hundreds of usually se
date juniors at the University of
Washington.
The junior class has always had
charge of the university's holiday
charity work. In the past funds have
been raised by "tag days," but this
year it was decided to give contribu
tors something for their money. So
members of the class will cover the
campus Thursday and Friday, carry
ing old-fashioned "shine boxes" and
importuning every passerby to get
his or her shoes shlned.
Girl juniors will act as solicitors
for the bootblacks and the actual
shining will be performed by the men.
In addition to these itinerant boot
blacks, there will be a big stand In
front of Denny hall, where Mayor
Caldwell and Dr. Henry Suzzallo will
get the first shines of the day at 10
A. M.
At the Theaters.
Hellig.
BY JOSEPH MACQUEEN.
N A LARGELY attended and ex
I
cellent concert Wednesday night In
the Heilig theater Madame Emmy
Destinn. one of the world's most cele
brated dramatic sopranos, gave a new
meaning so far as ghe is concerned
to the phrase "dramatic soprano."
Time was when highly-trained sing
ers of the tj'Pe mentioned sang with
,he volume ot strength sufficient to
make their voices soar above orches
tra and chorus, with the result that
too many vocal arias were sung with
evidence of forced tone to the point
of distress to create dramatic effect
Last night Destinn sang with new
vocalism, different from that shown
five years ago in concert In this city,
and with splendid art controlled her
big voice until real shining beauty ot
tone, called "bel canto" was reached.
That was why so many of Destlnn's
solos last night had beautifully soft
finishes, where delicate vocal expres
sion was exhibited, rather than merely
grand-opera volume. It is easy to
yelL Destinn never does that. It is
mre artistic to render solos with
such skillfully rendered niceties of
expression that the meaning of the
aria Is demonstrated.
Yes. it was a new and better Des
t.nn who sang .last night a greater
artist than in former days. It was
also interesting to note that three
wrias sung by Destinn "Der Wegwei
ser" (Schubert). "Elizabeth's Aria"
from "Tannhauser" (Wagner), sung in
uerman, and "As the Old Mother"
(Dvorak), sung in Bohemian won
WELFflR
OVERHEAD
the warmest applause of the audience
find near-ovations.
It was a delight to hear the silvery
beauty of vocartsm in Destinn's sing
ing of "Aria di Rlnaldo" (Handel)
and "Caro Mio Ben" (Giordani). The
tone placing was cleanly cut. cool and
agreeable. The breath control was
well judged and satisfactory, while
the resonance was splendid. Destlnn
ham a well-developed chest and reso
rance chambers, and muscular con
trol; 'and these physical gifts fit her
roble voice. If Destinn did not have
her magnificent physique, and if she
had not taken the best care of her
self, she would not have the big,
magnificent voice she has today.
The singing of the Tagore poem.
'Bound." and "Cradle Song" (Dyer
Bowling), both sunir in English, were
exquisite in finish and expression.
The well-known aria from "Hutter
fly." "One Fine Day" was sung with
deep feeling. '
Although the audience did not lose
its heart to Destinn. yet she won
warm approval, and had to respond
kr several recalls. Her extra num
bers were Russian and Bohemian
songs, and her accompanist, Georgea
Lepeyre, a Frenchman from an an
cient province, said he did ntt re
member the names Mr. Lapeyre
played with marked ability. The con
cert was one of the Steers & Coman
series, and Schumann-Heink is an
nounced to sing January 9. 19:12.
SHINGLE FUTURE BRIGHT
WEED OF ORGANIZATION BEEN
AT COXGRESS.
Farmers Heat Maifufacturers in
, Working Together, Says Speaker.
Mill Men Exchange Views.
SEATTLE. Wash., Dec. 7. (Spe
cial.) A future is in prospect but
proper organization is needed. This
was the sentiment of the first day of
the fifth annual Red Cedar Shingle
congress in session here. More than
350 men interested In the manufac
ture of shingles are registered at the
convention and with them are 100
wives and sisters who are taking ad
vantage of the opportunity offered
them for the first time to attend the
meetings.
Saw filers and millwrights met this
morning and exchanged ideas on mill
machinery. This was a new depar
ture at the shingle congress and it
was so well attended and so success
ful that It was voted to make it an
annual event Fred J. Monte led the
discussion.
H. J. Bratlie of Ridgefield, presi
dent of the organization, presided at
the afternoon meeting, at which mar
kets and the trade were discussed.
R. S. Whltling, secretary of the shin
gle branch of the West Coast Lum
bermen's association, demonstrated
that the time to get on a logical mer
chandizing" basis had arrived and said
that it was up to the manufacturer to
get In and help the retailer move his
goods. E. L. Connor of Everett fol
lowed with a talk along the same
line, outlining the desire of the whole
salers to help the shingle manufac
turers. Rev. Peter A. Slmpkin of San Fran
cisco closed the afternoon pro
gramme with a rousing appeal for a
closer organization among the shin
gle men. The farmers, he said, had
beat the shingle men in getting to
gether and working together. "In
all of mv trios to the watering places
and tourist centers, east and west. It
have never seen a single retired shin
gle manufacturer," he said.
The Hoo-Hoo banquet and concat
enation held tonight was well at
tended and was a reunion for old
time shingle makers. Many new mem
bers were put through the ritual of
the order and a large number of old
members renewed their membership.
LIGHT DIET IS
COLORADO DOCTOR SPEAKER
AT WHITE TEMPLE.
Apple for Breakfast, Toast and But
ter for Lunch, and Small
Dinner Recommended.
An attack on methods of the medl
cal profession and a plea for' adop
tion of the "Tilden diet" were made
by Dr. J. H. Tilden 0f Denver, Colo,
in a speech before a capacity crowd
at White Temple Wednesday night.
"There Is no such thing as disease)
in itself," said Dr. Tilden. "So-called
disease is merely impaired health
brought on by the use of coffee, tea.
tobacco, alcohol, drugs and the wrong
kind of food.
"The practice of giving drugs is In
fantile, and cutting out an inflamed
appendix is idiocy.
The perfect menu advocated by Dr.
Tilden Is as follows: Breakfast, one
apple; luncheon, two or three pieces
of toast with a very little butter and
a glass of milk: dinner, a baked po
tato, combination salad and spinach.
For dinner meat or fish may be sub
stituted for the potato.
This diet and an abstinence from
all stimulants means health, but woe
to the man who wants food that sticks
to his ribs," according to Dr. Tilden.
1 "An early death will come to the
man who eats dinners of steak, pota
toes, bread, pie and coffee," he said.
"Our jails are filled with men who
didn't eat the right kind of food. We
punish people for food drunkenness.
We sometimes excuse the booze
drinker for his acts, but not the food
toper.

The reason for such enthusiastic tribute is plain :
Owing to the new Hexeon Process, used only by us, Cycol is free from de
structive "sulpho" compounds and other impurities. Cycol is made from
Cyclo-Napthenic base crude.
Consequently Cycol does not break down, thin out or evaporate rapidly
under engine heat. It maintains an unimpaired lubricating film between all
moving parts. This film prevents metal-to-metal contact and the serious
damage that follows friction wear.
