Judge Henshaw OF Department is also
veIy restless. but is striving for higher
things han the Superior bench. He is
the regular Republican candidate for the
Supreme bench Of the State for the 10 ng
term, and in his seeking after this plum is
compelled 10 90 far afield. he is low
fitting through the southern part of the
State making fri .nds. When last heard
from ne was in Los Angeles.
While the majority of the Superior
bench in Alameda County are restless 1t
is NOT the case with ltigants These
latter are having good rest. ONLY YES
terday Judge Greene dismissed a venire of
forty-five jurymen summoned in Judge
Henshaw's court They were told they
would not be needed. But while the
wheels of Justice are ciogged the political
dizzy rate, with as much favor to the COM
mon office-seeker as to the man who covets
the ermiue.
School superintendent Salary.
The Board If Education held spaciaI
meeting last night and Directors Chestnut
and Rosborough distinguished themse Ives
by Directing to almost everything that
came up.
Their first tilt occurred when a motion
was made TO order the payment of the
salaries for September. Mr.. RoSbnrOugh
objected to the payment of the salary
of School Superintendent MeClymondS,
and to facilitate matters all salaries
excepting that of the superintendent were
ordered paid. Then Mr.. RosbOrnugh de-
clared his objections. 1t appears that the
charter provides that the school superin-
tendent be paid $500. but the board some
time ago fxrd the salary of that official al
$1,000 per anuum, and ever since that there
has been a monthly row over the matter.
That is why McClymonds remarked
somewhat rreverently last night that he
was tired of hearing the same old objec-
tions.
Rosborough held that he could not see
why the salary should be in excess of that
provided by the charter, but President
Redington broke in with the statement at
courts had time and time again confirmed
the power of school boards to fix that
particular salary. II was then moved that
Mr.. McClymouds be paid his salary as
fixed by the board. and the motion was
carried, only Chestnut and RosbOrough
voting IN the negative.
Their defeat must have made these two
directors very angry, for they steadfastly
opposed themselves 10 nearly every motion
of tleir colleagues.
In his arguments by President Redngton,
and on one occasion he Indignantly de-
manded to know of the Board OF Educa-
lion if It is ruled by dict,tor.
