PLAIN WHY he had not furnished the prom

him in his application, calling attention
10 the TACT that the special certificate
issued to Mr.. Milne Sept. 8, 1898, had

the understanding, and up
on MIR. Mines premise, that said state
ments should be verified within reason
able time by submitting to this Board
certificates OF standing and other original
papers and testimonials. "
Mr.. Milne replied that he had not
oeen given fair examinations; that the
kindness and courtesy shown him by
Examiners Eckstein and Nix had been
put on only to conceal their real
motives; and that Supt. NIX had done
everything in his power to undermine
his (Milnc's) position. Mr.. Milne also
said that he had never before made any
statement to any person whatever which
could he construed as charge or COM
plant against said Examiners; and that
he preferred to make such charges in
their presence, wherein he differed from
SAID Examiners. Examiner Schaller
agreed with the ether members that Mr..
Mines remarks were uncalled for. Ex-
aminers Nix and Eckstein, after reprov-
ing MIR. Milne for his insolence, demand
ed that he specify his charges against
them' MI. Milne replied that he needed
time for thinking over the matter, where
upon Examiner Nix inquired whether
MIR. Milne could not comply with'the re-
quest without asking certain parties for
instructions. Mr.. Milne remarked that
be should like to see his paper on Eng
fish grammar, in which the questions had
been such as he would give pupil Is yrs.
of age. He also said that his examina-
ton in physics had been unfair because
the Examiners made no allowance for
the fact that he had made mistake in
copying the answer to certain problem.
The Chairman interrupted him by the re.
mark, "Unfair in your opinion" where
