Five Accused of Political
Activity and Irritations
May, Fight Abrogation of
Contracts.
At an all-day hearing held at
Butte Falls, tho school board' up
held charges of "political activity"
and "political irritatlotj"- against
five Butte Falls school teachers.
They are N. D. Stoddard, William
Mee, Mrs. William Mee, Naomi
Van Gross and Rhea Hoover. The
charges are the basis of annulment
of the contracts of the school
teachers, against which they plan
a legal fight. An appeal will be
taken to the county boundary
board, from the decision of the
school board, Attorney George M.
Roberts, associated with Attorneys
F. 1. Farrell and C. M. Thomas,
said this morning.
The attorney general of Oregon
has held that a teacher's contract
is binding, unless charges ., arc
proven, and It was said that the
ousted teachers will appeal on
the grounds that the charges of
political activity were not substan
tiated by the evidence.
- Witnesses include members of
the school board, and AUorfeoys
E. K. Kelly and Edward C. Kelly,
representing the school board,
and the Owen-Oregon Lumber
company. The present angle dates
back to last December, when the
county boundary board, after a
hearing, ordered a heavy cut In
the Butte Falls school budget.
There was a large attendance at
the hearing.
The annual school election was
held at four o'clock yesterday
afternoon, resulting In Mrs. Julia
Doubleday, named to fill , the
vacancy on the board flue to the
ousting of Mrs. Elizabeth Simmer-
ville, being defeated by Merle
Brainerd by the close vote of 62 to
67, and W. Richmond winning over
R. B. Baker, 71 to 55. The vote
was one of the heaviest ever seen
lit u school election In Butte Fulls.
