ALCOHOL THEFT CHARGED
TWO KMPIvOYES AT WOODARD,
CLAKKK & CO. ARKKSTfcD.
High Cos-t of Living Is Blamed by
W. R. Ivey Ten-Gallon. Krg
Recovered by Officers.
Because the cost of living has gfcne
up W. R. ivey says he stole a ten
gallon keg of ordinary alcohol on the
night of March 9 from the supplies
of Woodard. Clarke & Co. He turned
it over to W. .A. Lyle to sell and the
keg eventually was recovered yes
terday morning in the possession of
W. H. Raabe, a butcher, who has a
shop at the corner of Milwaukee ave
nue and Brooklyn street. Revenue of
ficers marched the trio off to the
county jail, from which Raabe later
obtained his release by putting up
000 bond. Lyle was held for an
equal amount and Ivey for $500.
When the drug company's alcohol
permits failed to check up a leak was
suspected and officers were put on
the trail of the ten-gallon keg. An
other of five gallons also was said to
be missing.
I never heart! of the five gallons,"
Ivoy insists, "and this is the first tirye
I have stolen any alcohol. I heard of
Raabe through Lyle, but I ve' never
been in his butcher shop. I had the
keg delivered to Lyle's residence at
408 Madrona street, as he had told
me he could dispose of any alcohol I
could get hold of. I got it easily one
night when we were loaded up with
express orders and I was working
late.
with regard to what he is pleased to call
a "mrit system.
By this system the ability and gonoral
qualifications of teachers are adjudped
entirely by a primary supervisor, who has
general oversight of the grades from one
to six, inclusive, but who visits each room
only a few minutes each week. In no
instance has a principal been asked for !
a formal estimate of the teachers under
his charge, and their work has presumably
been ranked by the result of a few testa
and then almost exclusively in arithmetic
The teachers have felt that the arbi
trary method of judging them was wrong
in principle and pernicious in practice.
since it has led in several Instances to
teachers being dropped without previous
warning that their work was unsatisfac
tory, and in other instances to certain
teachers receiving little or no increase in
salaries to which they felt they were en
titled. The superintendent insisted with
the board that this merit system must be
maintained in Eugene.
Patrons Ignored, They Say.
Finally, after having asked the superin
tendent and board so often for a redress
ot grievances and having been haughtily
Informed by a prominent member of the
board that he would favor keeping Ruther
ford if every teacher should resign, the

except six, signed a ntatement that the
board need not expect them to teach next
year if the present superintendent were
re-elected to the head of affairs.
Now, this is our one unpardonable sin.
The board simply had their choice of
corps of teachers or one man.
In the face of the insistent demands of
the patrons, to the extent, we believe, of
SO per cent at least, they chose to keep
the superintendent and discharge a corps
of teachers that placed this town on the
map as the best school town of the state.
We only ask for an impartial hearing.
In conclusion we will state that there are
many teachers In the Portland schools who
formerly taught in this city.and some of
them were induced to leave this city be-
ause of the very conditions we relate in I
this article.

Head of Schools Said to iook Out
for Own Interests Even if
Faculty Passed Vp.
A merit system which has proved
pernicious in practice and an un
sympathetic attitude on the part of
superintendent and , school board in
the matter of living salaries are held
directly responsible for the breach in
Eugene between the school board and
local teachers, according to a state
ment received by The Oregonian yes
terday from the publicity committee
of the grade teachers' association of
that city.
Forty-three of 49 teachers in Eu
gene signed a statement that they
would not teach next year if the
superintendent of schools was re
tained. The board decided to retain
Superintendent Rutherford.
Limit Declared Reached.
The teachers' side of the contro
versy "is given as follows:
The unbearable situation was very much
Intensified last spring- when the Bohool
board, through Its agent, the superinten
dent, notified the teachers of their re
election and yearly salary- at a date so
late that It was impossible for them to
secure positions in other towns. When the
teachers aaked that an Increase be made
the budget to b offered, because of
the meager increase in salaries, the com
mittee was coolly informed that it was i
little too lat, that the district had no
funds to maka more than a vary meager
increase.
The teachers were very much surprised
later to learn that tha superintendent's
salary had been Increased from $2750 to
f:'.000. when he had assured various teach
ers that he was to receive no increase
whatever.
The teachers concluded that while ho
might neglect or forget to look after tbera
in the matter of commensurate salary hih
own interests were not . overlooked. Dooa
any lair mind think that this was in
clined to Inspire confidence on the part of
teachers in tne superintendent 7
After debating the Question for some
time, and -having no other alternative in
the matter, the teachers finally signed
the proffered contracts and went to work
to render the best service of which they
were capable. Matters went on along this
line, until because of the mounting cost
of living a committee of teachers waited
on the board and axked if something
might not be done to remedy the.sttu-
Uon. Again they were met witn the
excuse that the funds were exhausted and
ft was - invpossible to vote any additional-
funds during the current year.
Head Not in nrene.
In connection with this It might ba
added that during the interval the super
intendent had 'one to California at the
nstance of the board to take an additional
course in the university, although be was
needed to advise the board as to a proper
method of relieving the necessities of the
teachers, when every other school board of

WALLA WALLA, Wash., March 20.
(Special.) Sale of the Baker-Lang
don orchard to the Stanton Invest
ment company of Steuhenville, O.
yesterday for $1,050,000, is only the
beginning of eastern investment
this locality, according to uhn W,
Langdon of the Bakcr-Lafigdoni com
pany today. The company will im
mediately start work on a huge cold
storage plant and this will be fol
lowed in all probability, he said, by
construction of a by-producf plant of
sufficient capacity to care for small
apples.
The tract bought is a trifle under
600 acres and the price per acre
$1775, a record figure for fruit land
in large tracts.
The Stanton Investment company is
composed of wealthy manufacturers
and bankers of that section, whose
combined wealth is many millions.
Mr. Landon said the investment in
apple lands here was but the first
step in plans which the company has
in view.
Obituary.
SEATTLE. Wash.. March 20. (Spe
cial.) J. B. Hatch, a pioneer of
Whatcom county, where he had re
sided for 40 years and where he was
one of the leaders in republican poll
tics most of that time, died at Provi
dence hospital in Seattle today after
n illness of four months. He was
60 years old. For many years Mr.
Hatch was one of the associates of
Harry Fairchild, a political leader of
Whatcom county. He resided at
Ferndale, just, outside of Bellinghem.
He retired from business nearly 10
years ago.
Besides Mrs. Rathbun, who resides
at 2012 East Fifty-second street, Mr.
Hatch is survived by the following
children: Mrs. Earl Reed, Portland;
Mrs. W. K. Sears, Seattle, and W.D.,
Wendell P. and Harold J. Hatch of
Ferndale.
Edward L. Naylor. a native son of
Oregon and an old resident of B'orest
Grove, who died March 15, was born
in 1862, the son of Oregon pioneers
of the early 40's, and during the last
20 years became an expert in the
raising of angora goats and pure-bred
shepherd dogs. Mr. . Naylor made
Washington county his home during
practically his entire life, graduating
from Pacific university, and for some
25 years conducting a real estate,
loan and notary public office in
Forest Grove. Before retiring to the
farm, which he inherited from his
parents, he had become an important
factor in the growth of the town and
urrounding country.
Mr. Naylor had been in poor health
of late years as the result of an at
tack by a . man of Yamhill county
named Lenocker, who committed sui
cide following the shooting. No rea
son was ever found for the attack,
he man being a total stranger to
Naylor, who was confined to the hos
pital for several months. He is sur-
ived by two relatives in Oregon, a
sister, Mrs. Edith Kenworthy of Port-
and and a brother, George Naylor
of Forest Grove.
