Barney Bernard, the Famous
Hebrew Impersonator at
the Grand
On Thursday ovonlng, at 'tho Grand
Opera House, Bnrnoy Uornard, tho fa
mous Ifobrow impersonator, is to np
Xear with his own company in Cot
troll's famous high-class comedy, "Tho
Financier." Mr. liornnrd's season
lias boon ono of continuous ovntions
from coast to coast. Ills portrayal of
tho Hobrow character in this play Is
rt high class work of nrt. Mr. Her
nnrd has many opportunities in tho
tbroo nets to piny to tho gnllory, but
ho indulges in no "rough lioiiso" work
or a slnglo expression thnt might provo
offonslvo to tho moat oxnctlug ropro
eontatlvo of tho rnco lto so truly pic
tures for tho entertainment of his au
ditors. At times when ho drifts into
pathos ho is most nffcctlug, and shows
tho ability of an cxcollont actor, ns
-troll ns thnt of a natural born como
llnn. Many of thoso who witness his
work express tho opinion thnt Ber
nard stands today for tho stage .Tow
-what Jlooth lias mndo tho stage Ham
let. Ho bus n first-class company in
support, but tho play being n ono
mnn play naturally prevents tho mom
tiers of tho company from participat
ing to any gront oxtmit. Tho rod no
tion itself was writton especially for
Mr. llernnrd. Framed so as to glvo
Mm full scopo of his ability, showing
tho two sides of tho Jewish character,
namely, tho Intense doslre and faculty
of acquiring money, nnd tho well

Tho school board held n spccinl
mcoting Inst night, but this is not
nows to Superintendent Travcr. Ho
discovered it early in tho ovonlng, for
against him tho tido of public Indig
nation beat and swelled, and receded
only to swcop higher with oach wavo,
until ho was swept off his foct and
drowped, ns it were, in n flood of
words. Ever slnco tho enforced roslg
nntlon of cortnln lady teachers, tho
patrons of tho schools havo boon grow
ing moro nnd inoro indignant, nnd last
night tho dam thnt hold tho pent up
torront broke. It was a Johnstown
flood, nn outpouring of public senti
ment that simply overwhelmed Super
intendent nnd board. What most
aroused tho wrath of thoso who do
mnndod fair piny for tho discharged
tcachors was tho sccroey tho board
maintained ns to tho reason why tholr
resignations woro asked for. Tho
board, howovcr, wns bound not to toll,
and somo of Its mombors, in turn, got
nngry, bocnuso Superintendent Trnv
ors who, of all Salem 's citizens nlono
knows what tho board knows, sprung
a lonk, and gavo out information ho
had promised to withhold, and this,
too, in plcccmcnl, nnd only such of
it as wns calculated to shield him,
and throw tho blamo upon tho board.
Whon Mr. Carson filed his request
for information concerning monoy col
loetod for tho ostensible purposo of
purohuslng pictures for tho schools, nnd
nbout nn alleged attempted graft of
$300 by tho superintendent in tho mnt
tor of tho heating plant woll, if Mt.
Pelco had suddenly blown its head off
again right out in mcoting, it wouldn't
havo caused moro stir. Things got a

Dr. Byrd reported, on behalf of tho
contractors, that tho now high sehool
building would not bo completed bo
foro November 1st, or, at host, on Oc
tober 20th, tho date stipulated by the
contract.
Tho South Salem committee, who
appeared in bohalf of the three toaoh
ers who wore "lei; out" at the recent
ejection, was present. Mr. Bayno
opened for tho comuiitteo by reading
tho resolutions passed at a mass meet
ing of patrons of tho Lincoln sehool.
He then stated that the committee ap
peared in behalf of the patrons of
Lincoln school, and that they submit
ted the resolutions of tho patrons with
tho utmost respect. . I
Mr. MeMahon, of the committee,
then spoko in behalf of tho patrons,
and mado the statement that nono of
tho patrons, had found fault with any
of tho teachers dismissed, ami lnlm.l
that it was nractleallv the nnantmmm1
desire of the patrous to have theso'
toachcrs restored. Ho also asked that,
if thcro wero any charges against
them ns to their efficiency or morality,
that the patrons wero entitled to
know them, and also thnt tho teachers
in question lind a right to a hearing.
Mrs. Swlcnick next spoko for tho
committee, nnd said thnt in tho six
years during which her childron had
attended Lincoln ochool sho had
known Miss Myers nnd tho othor
teachers, nnd that sho had found them
perfect Indies, obliging nnd competent
to perform tholr work. Sho nlso pre
sented a roport card of ono of her
children, which rfpoko woll for tho
work of Miss Smith. Sho also called
nttcntion to tho fact that tho work of
theso tcachors was marked "No. 1"'
nt tho St. Louis exposition last year.
Sho closed by nsklng to havo theso
thrco teachers in question rostorcd.
Sho had, during tlio pnst wcok, visltod
ninny of tho patrons of tho school,
nnd nil had spoken woll of theso young
Indies.
Mr. Bnyne asked of tho board that
thoy glvo tho commlttco somo infor
mation ns to why theso toachors wero
let out, or what promptod tho board to
tako this action.
Mr. Leo stated thnt ho thought tho
board had noted In good faith, and
thnt unless somo ono had "reportod"
what had tnken placo nt tho private
meetings of tho board, nothing should
bo revealed. Ho then stated that Su
perintendent Travcr had roportcd to
somo of tho teachers what took placo
nt tho secret meeting, nnd suggested
thnt, inasmuch as ho had givon this
information out in part, that tho re
mainder of tho procoodlngs of tho
bonrd bo mado public.
Mr, Condlt stated thnt- it was cus
tomary to hold such secret mootings
nt tho election of tcachors, and that
ho was opposed to opening up tho mat
ter. He then excused hlmsolf and
loft.
Mr, Carson then submlttod tho fol
lowing communicatien:
"To tho Board of Dlroctors of tho Sa
eom School District:
"During tho past yoar a largo sum
of money was collected by your super
intendent from, tho toachors, pupils
and friends of tho city schools for the
ostensible purposo of purchasing pic
tures to decorate tho school rooms,
and, ns contributor nnd ono of the
friends of tho school nnd a taxpayer,
I demand nn accounting. I furthor re
quest an investigation be held by you
to ascertain whethor or not your su
perintendent attempted to graft $300
from the contractor of tho heating
plant to bo installed in the high school
building now boing erectol by you.
Grafting is not commendable any
where, but in our public school nITairs
it Is most reprehensible. Yours truly,
"JOHN A. CARSON.
Ho then addressed tho bonrd, nnd
condemned the position of Mr. Condlt,
that the nations of tho board aro not
subjeet to review.
Mr. CrolsNn objected to such state
ments being made in tho absence of
Mr. Condlt. The chair sustained tho
speaker, and said that Mr. Condit had
been urged to remain, Mr. Carson
then urged tho re-election of tho three
teachers, nnd stnted that, in their dis
missal the teachers and a majority of
tho board had been tricked.
Mr. McMahan then asked that the
reasons for these dismissals be given
the committee. Mr. Acheson also
asked for the reasons.
Mr. Bayno stated that he was glad
that Mr. Carson had mado the charges
against Supt. Traver, and that he had
expected to make similar charges.
Mr. Bayno asked if the board was
acting undor tho merit rule, nnd that
n9 to whether It wns necessary to got
unanimous nction of tho board to open
up tho mnttor. Chairman Fletcher
stated thnt if a motion woro made to
reopen tho question ho would enter
tain it.
Dr. Byrd stntod that ho regretted
tho nction of tho board in tho dismis
sal of thoso teachers, and thnt ho
thought nmends ought to bo mado as
opportunity afforded. Ho bcllovcd nl
so thnt tho board had nothing to do
with tho picturo business of Prof.
Trnvor, but moved that a commlttco
of thrco bo appointed to invostignto
tho "grafting" charge This motion
carried, and tho chair appointed
Messrs. Byrd, Leo and Condlt, as such
conTmittco. '
It wns again urged that tho charges
ngnlnst theso tcachors bo mado known,
but Prof, Trnvor thought it would bo
improper to glvo out such information.
Mr. Bayno stated that tho city super
intendent was unwilling to mnko such
statements, nnd repented that ho con
sidered it a cowardly net, Mr. Trnvcr
stnted thnt ho had not been asked by
tho board to mnko such charges pub
lic. Mr. Carson nsked why, ns citizens
nnd taxpayers, they could not have tho
Information nsked for.
Mr. Leo repeated that ho considorcd
that it was unjust to him to havo Sn-j
porintendont Trnvcr run to teachers
nnd glvo out such parts of tho pro.' ,
coodings ns suited his intorosts, nnd
put him (Mr. Leo) in a fnlso light bo-
for tho people. Keho answered blank
Tho requost wns ngnin mndo for tho
charges ngalnst tho tcachors, and it
wns suggested that tho meanost crim
inal in tho penitentiary received tho
right to n hearing, and that it wns con
sidered no moro than just to tho
teachers to havo tholr day in court.
Tho various memuers of tho com
mltteo thanked tho board for tholr
courtesy, and stated that thoy would
appear again at tho regular meeting
Saturday ovening.
