Principal of Sciiool Declares Barrett

Elected Also Says Jerry Stone,
Chairman of the Board, Has Been
Acting in Illegal Manner Com
plaint Filed.
There is a merry strife on in the
Athena school district between Homer
I. Watts, principal of the school, and
Jerry Stone, chairman of the directors,
and It may figure prominently in the
race which Mr. Watts is making for
the office of county school superinten
dent On April 30 Mr. Watts filed a com
plaint against Mr. Stone in the office
of the county superintendent and the
following extracts from the same will
show the nature of the case:
"To the County School Superintendent
of Umatilla County, Oregon.
Your Informant, the undersigned, in
this, his information, most respectful
ly shows:
That the above named school dis
trict In Umatilla county, state of Or
egon, a duly organized and continuing
district, did on or about the last of
December, 1907, have three duly elect
ed and acting directors in the persons
of A. M. Gillis, M. L. Watts and Jerry
Stone.
That on or about the last of Decem
ber, 1907, A. M. Gillis moved from the
district out of the state of Oregon,
causing a vacancy in the director's
office, and on or about the same time
W. L. Watts sent In his resignation,
which was duly- accepted, thereby
leaving only one director, namely,
Jerry Stone. '
That the said Jerry Stone as direc
tor, caused the district clerk, F. Ker
shaw, to issue notices on December 26,
1907. for a school meeting to be held
on January 4. 1908. and the said Jerry

Stone signed these notices well know
ing the same to be invalid and that
an election held in accordance there
with would be illegal. ,
That on January 4. 1908, at said
Invalid meeting, C. A. Barrett and W.
R. Taylor were chosen to fill the va
cancies caused by said A. M. Gillis and
M. L. Watts. And the said C. A. Bar
rett and W. R. Taylor have accepted
to act and are still attempting to act
as directors contrary to the laws of
the state of Oregon, well knowing all
oi these facts and conditions.
That Jerry Stone has neglected and
refused to call a legal meeting of the
voters of district No. 29, but has at
tempted to run the ffair himself.
That he did on or about the 12th of
April, 1908, himself, hire a teacher to
fill a vacancy in district No. 29, which
teacher has since the 14th of April
been teaching in the public school of
district No. 29. That at the time of
hiring said teacher there was no meet
nig of directors called, and said con
tract between Jerry Stone and said
teacher Is In the aforesaid condition.
That the said Jerry Stone has at no
time helped or tried to help the
teachers prevent truancy in the school,
nor has he visited the said school for
the purposes of seeing after the con
dition of the property.
That the said Jerry Stone, C. A. Bar
rett aad W. R. Taylor on or about the
24th day of April, 1908, met and at
tempted to transact business as duly
elected, qualified and acting directors
by ofH-rlng to hire teachers at the
same time knowing their acts to be
void and illegal.
Wherefore, your informant, a duly
employed and acting teacher In the
public school of district No. 29, in
Umatilla county, state of Oregon, and
a resident of the above named district,
prays that you take steps In accord
ance with the laws of Oregon and de
clare the two former places vacant
and oust said Jerry Stone from his of
fice of trust upon the grounds of his
nonfeasance and misfeasance as. pre
scribed by section 3391 of B. & C.'s
Annotated Codes and Statutes of Oregon.
(Signed) HOMER I. WATTS.
Informant."
Saturday Mr. Watts was In the city
and urged the county superin
tendent to act upon his complaint, de
claring that If he did not he, the
complainant, would take the matter
up directly with the district attorney,
or if the latter refused, with the gov
ernor. Mr. Welles has taken the matter up
with District Attorney Phelps, who Is
now attending a session of circuit
court at Heppner and the matter will
be brought to issue as soon as pos
sible. What the outcome of the fight will
be remains to be seen, but there is a
possibility tnat Interesting develop
ments may be In store.

Tie For'Tlilrd Place Knapp Wins
Individual Cup.
On a muddy field that worked
greatly td the disadvantage of the
IVndleton sprinters Spokane won the
field meet 'at Pullman Saturday with
a score of 49 points, while Pendleton
came second with 23. Oakesdale and
Lewlston tied for third with 18 points
each and from one to eight points
were scored by eleven other schools
in the meet. Walla Walla took but
six points.
Last evening the Pendleton boys,
accompanied by Professor Hampton,
returned home from Pullman. They
say that it had rained hard the night
before the meet and as a result the
track was very heavy and the day
was cold. This was disastrous for
Jay, Kimball and the other Pendle
ton sprinters for they are all light in
weight and unused to running with
their spikes filled with mud.
But though they were unable to
win the meet the local team has the
honor of being second In a meet In
which twenty-five schools participat
ed and they will have two represen
tatives on the Inland empire team
that goes to Seattle for the Interschol
astlc meet May 23.
Jay and L. Means will be the two
athletes to make the trip and they
will have the pleasure of seeing the
battleship fleet enter the sound.

Some Pract lee Error Column Is
Well Filled.
The Portland Greys were "easy
picking" for Lorlmer's heavy hitters
yesterday and those who anticipated
a red hot game were disappointed.
From start to finish the O. R. & N.
boys were outclassed and though they
wore pretty blue suits and were nice
fellows they could not play ball in the
class that Is now current here.
Though the score stood 12 to 5 at
the finish It really does not tell the
story of the game for after Pendleton
had secured a good lead the team
played tag with their opponents and
did not run up the high score they
were capable ft. In the sixth Inning
Jerry King, the team's old-time
southpaw twlrler was put In the box
in place of Parkes and he pitched
during the remainder of the game In
a manner that showed he still re
membered how,
Munson, the new catcher, was be
hind the bat throughout the game
and displayed some evidence of
league experience, and Houten show
ed cleverness by getting under bunts
and by anticipating things In the
neighborhood of third base.
But the star work of the day was
by Parkes when he knocked the ball
over the fence Into the river and
scored a home run. Some fine long
distance hitting was also done by
Baker and . other members of the
team.

The Freewater Times says of the
Streeter-Bryan company. The Or

has closed for a month, during which
time the theater will be thoroughly
renovated and seated with opera
chairs, making It one of the most
commodious little theaters In the
northwest. .
During their stay In Walla Walla,
MIrs Bryan and Mr. Streeter have
made many friends among tho Inter
urban people. In addition to their
splendid acting, the personality of the
actors has .added much to. the inter
est of those who have attended thu
Orpheum. and when they return to
Walla Walla they will have an Increas

This morning M. A. Rader, score
keeper for the ball team, tabulate!
the batting and fielding scores made
by the eight regular Pendleton players
and the result shows a wonderful high
batting average. Tracy Baker, right
fielder, now leads the list with an
average of .429.
In every game played this season,
Lorlmer's team has batted well and
Its victories have been largely due to
the ability of every man on .the team
to "hit the ball on the nose."
The following shows the fielding
and batting averages to date for the
eight regular players. The other
players have been "pick-ups," none of
whom have played more than two
games. King has played In but five
games, Shockley six while all the
others have played seven:

It will be seen that the Pendleton
