Mr. Evans' committee reported that
the school had been so engrossed in
a text book, squabble that it had been
almost impossible as yet to secure co
operation in the discussing of special
laws for metropolitan districts, but
that a full report would be made un
doubtedly at the next meeting of the
committee.
It'was recommended by this com
mittee that a large committee of
. tfarhers be appointed to recommend
books for use in the school libraries.
It Joined with Dr. Rebec's committee in
Urging that' all registered voters be
given the right to vote at school elec

given the tenure of office or civil ser

urged that a law should be passed re-
. fusing admission to primary pupils
after. November 1, because of the hand
icapping effect on other primary pupils
of such a practice; also that the com
pulsory school law be changed. It
now requires attendance of children at

yesterday sustained -defeat in Judge
Gatens' court when an attempt was
made - to have vital portions of Tire
Journal Publishing -company's answer
to Howard's $30,000 libel suit against
it stricken out.
Greenman in putting his motion, took
the stand that The Journal's answer
was Irrelevant and portions of it were
reauy conclusions of law and not
Issuable facts. He also arsued that a
story published in The Journal on the
morning of January 4, to the effect
that Howard was being sought on a
felony, warrant chararinr In rr-n v hv
bailee, was malice per se and for this
reason relieved the plaintiff nf all re
sponslbillty of proving malice on th
part -of the defendant. It is on account
of this news Item that Howard brough
suit.
After Greenman had set forth 'hi
objections to the publishing company's
answer. Attorney John Logan, for the
defendant, explained that The Journal,
by its answer, undertakes to prove
more than the plaintiff asked.
"We take it upon ourselves to prove

Judge Gatens said:

Greenman did so.
The portions of The Journal's an
swer which Greenman asked to be eith
er stlcken out or amended recited that
a criminal warrant was Issued for
Howard, charging larceny by bailee, on
January S, by Deputy District Attorney
Robert Deicb. '
This warrant, it alleges., was placed
in the hands of a deputy constable for
service, and directed that Howard be
brought before Judge Jones, but How
ard could not be found. It concludes
with the statement that the warrant
was Issued before the story was pub
lished in The Journal.
