MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED DIRECTORS IX ATTENDANCE Problem Confronting School Districts of County Being Discussed Many OiiCMtloiis Asked and Answered . Stale SuH-riutendciit Ackernuiii and Superintendent Robinson of Mult iioiuu County Among PrliiciMtl Sjieukers. With one hundred and eight di rectors and fifteen visitors in attend ance at the morning session and more urriving every hour to be present this afternoon, the third annual conven tion of the Umatilla County School boards was convened today in the circuit court room at the court house. These annual gatherings are arrang ed on a mutual benefit basis and will eventually become a leading factor In t'lt- solution of all the problems which confront school authorities. While much of the time at both sessions today wus consumed by ad dresses and musical selections, con siderable time was devoted to a free discussion and the asking and .jmis wering of questions from which it was manifest that great interest pre vailed among the directors. County .Superintendent Frank K. Welles opened Ue meeting with a short talk after which the Pendleton male quartet rendered a selection. .Superintendent R. F. Robinson ,of Multnomah county wus the first speaker and he discussed In detail the qualifications of an efficient member of a school board, stating that such a man should be ready nt all times to listen to the complaints from the "par ents of his district, should give such complaints thorough consideration and should be capable of reasoning with unreasonable people. Further, he stated, the board should meet at least once a month anl should invite the teachers and public to such meet ing. t"tate Superintendent Ackerman. who delivered the only other address this morning preached the doctrine of sanitation and health in schools. Fure water, pure air, and chastity in out buildings were the three things he was insistent upon ns necessary in each school for securing the physi cal, mental and moral health and de velopment of children. Another selection by the quartet and a humorous reading by Principal J. W. L. Kaufman of lone, both of which were greatly appreciated, com pleted the program at the morning session. Afternoon Session. Both Robinson and Ackerman were again the principal speakers this af ternoon, Robinson speaking along the line taken up by the state superintend ent in the morning, that is on the question of the physical environment of the school. At the conclusion of his address he devoted considerable time to the answering of questions put by the directors. Superintendent Ackerman took as the theme of his address this after noon the more efficient supervision of 2d and 3d class schools, pointing out the advantages to be gained by such a method. "If supervision over city teachers Is good, then supervis ion over country teachers is better," he stated, "and that Is a task the ed ucational authorities of this state must assume." Two selections by the quartet and another reading by Principal Kauf man concluded the session, and ad journment was taken shortly after four o'clock.

DR, COE INTS lil.i I II J I (I Damage Suit Fil d in Portland Agsinst W, J. Furnish Charges Fraud. ,KL MEN WILL SOON FILE ANSWER Until Full Statement Is ITeparod Withhold Reply to Attucks Mado Colonel Haley Denies Personal Charge Hint He Acted Simultan eously as Attorney for Coo and FjiniKli Tlio Cue Complaint In Detail. Dr. Henry Waldo Coe has brought suit against W. J. Furnish In the cir cuit court In Portland for $300,000 ac tual and $300,000 punitive damages for an alleged conspiracy to defraud, defame and injure Coe In his handling of the affairs of the Inland Irrigation company and the Furnish Ditch com pany. Coe has also filed suit against the Inland Irrigation company, the Fur nish Ditch company, Furnish and H. L. Moody for $800,000 damages because-of the cancellation of the con tract held by him for the handling and sale of the lands of the two com panies. He also asks costs and dis bursements. The two suits. In which Coe asks aggregate damages of $1,400,000, have grow n out of the dispute between Coe and Furnish over the transaction of the business of marketing the Furnish lands near Pendleton In Umatilla county. Will Answer Charges. "At this time I do not want to re ply in d"tail to the charges made by Dr Coe neither does Mr. Furnish," sa'd Colonel "j. H. Raley to the East Oregonlan this afternoon. It is a case that involves so many things that must be set forth at length In order to be properly understood. Within a short time we will file a formal answer to the complaint filed In Portland and until that answer is ready we will have no statement to make." Answers Personal Charge. However, upon ono feature of the charge brought by Dr. Coe, Colonel Raley was willing to speak at once. It was to deny emphatically the ac cusation that he served simultan eously as attorney for Dr. Coe and for W. J. Fs-nlsh. According to Col. Raley the charge is wholly un justified. He says that when the Fur-nish-Coe contract was drawn up the work was done at the Imperial hotel in Portland. He was present as at torney for the Furnish Irrigation company. Dr. Coe was represented by George S. Shepard and Charles H. Carey, while A. C. Spencer was pres ent as attorney for the Hlbernla Sav ings bank. Colonel Raley also rep resented W. J. Furnish in connection with the- bond issue that was made. The following story from the Ore gon Journal sets forth in detail the charges in the complaint filed by Dr. Coe. Sensational Charges. In the complaints filed Coe makes sensational allegations against Fur nish, owner of the lands, J. H. Raley of Pendleton, attorney for the com panies, and H. L. Moody, president of the irrigation companies. It Is set out in the complaints that up to July 2, 1910, the business and social relations of the plaintiff and Furnish were pleasant, and that Coe had every confidence in the friend ship fcnd integrity of 'Furnish. He did not believe, he says, that Furnish would enter into any plan or scheme to injure the plaintiff, damage his reputation, defraud or defame him. Furnish took advantage of this trust fulness, Coe alleges, and conspired to wrong and defraud him. Coe alleges that he entered into a contract with Furnish February 25, 1909, to handle the lands of the two irrigation companies. When he enter ed Into the fulfillment of the contract, Coe snys, he found that the project was In a badly tangled and disorgan ized condition. Furnish had been un successfully trying to market the lands. The project was greatly In debted, sales were nt a standstill and the property apparently had no mar ket value. Sold Much Land. No provision had been made by Furnish for the construction of dams or reservoirs, the system of ditches was defective and Inadequate, and things were In a had state generally. However, Coe sets out, between the date of tho contract and July 1, 1910, he had sold upwards of $500,000 worth of land, for which $275,000 had been raid as a part of the pur chase price on the contracts of sale. Reservoir sites had been purchas ed, dams had nearly been completed, ditches had been reconstructed, and the price of the land had Jumped from $40 to $80 an acre to $200 and $300 an acre.

ON STRIKE ISSUE REPORTED THAT ENGINEERS WILL TIE UP RAILROADS Relieved That Refusal of Western Roads to Grant Increase of Fifteen Per Cent in Wages Will Result in Tleing Up of Many Western Lines.
