MAYOR Bowen AND TIE BOARD or TBus-
TEES or CoLoRED SCHooLs.-To TIE p,lbiie
A report having been circulated that certain
statements had been made by Mayor Bowen
involving the honesty and integrity of Alfred
Jones, trustee Of colorcd schools, take the
liberty Of stating that was present, as was
also Alderman Baker, Of the Seventh ward,
when the conversation took place at which
the statements alluded to were made, and
have 10 say that all the charges aud the
entire allusion to Mr.. Jones by the Mayor,
were based on the Idea that said Board OF
Trustees had published a report containing
misrepresentation as to the course OF the
Mayor respecting said schools, and that he
did not In the least reflect on the integrity Of
Mr.. Jones as q private citizen. And on in
curing Of the Mayor this morning, he stated
TO me that in abiding TO Mr.. Jones, he had
never intended TO advance tho Idea that he
was dishonest man. q. W. GooDALL.
