kernels were literally cooked, biighting 9

The investigation In at the instance OF Gov.
Melietts, with whom the afidavits were
filed. Hitherto the matter has been kept
quiet. DR.. Livingston is the fourth super
intendent against whom charges OF the
same nature have been made. Some weeks
sgo two attendants were discharged, Kate

Laid before the state advisory board, which
declined 10 take action on account of
insufficient evidence. Eidred aud Mas

charging DIR. Livingston and one or
two employees with various immoralities.
Eidred claims to have seen DIR. Livingston

to investigate, the matter was placed be-
fore the governor, resulting in the investi-
