/ A. Yes. SIR, / wa.
O. Was il At that time when the mat
| ter about the iron bars was brought outt
| A. Yes, sir ~ was.
= Did the board examine into the Yates
| charges;
a do not think il was an evamina-
ton because the board mad no power to
! send for persons and papers. and this is
| the very reason why ! introduced the bill
| recently which gives all boards Of visitors
! such powers. The board took some steps
a.
| thought it necessary. think St appointed
a subcommittee 10 see a young lady I'm
| regard 10 the matter.
At this iuncture the chairman read
| from the record Of an adjourned meeting
OF the board held on June %, 1892. the
following
"rhe report OF the special committee
| composed Of Nessrs. MOffett and Turner
| 10 further investigate the Ogden-Riggs-
! Yates affair. was presented and read to-
| gctner with the dispositions, exhibits etc.
| and on motion il was ordered 10 be re-
| ccived and filed and on motion of Capt
| Mushhacn IT was resolved Toy the board
! after reading the evidence, exhibits. and
| REPORT of the subcommittee appointed
| on the 9Th instant 10 investigate the
| charges against Mr.. +. h. Yates. a teach
| or ia the institution. made by Miss Emma
| ogden. that there IS no foundation for
/ such charges and that I'm the opinion OF
| the board 10 is unnecessary for 10 TO - q
/ any further consideration 10 said charges,
and that Mr.. Yates should not I'm any
! respect be preJudiced thereby
! And thereupon. on motion OF Captain
/ Musnoach, ar. T.. q. iaies Was unani-
/ mously reelected teacher Of the second
| deai-mute class al the salary heretofore
fixed hv the board"
O. Then the Yates matter has been
| investigated and this is the resolution
| adopted In consequence;
s. Yes. sir: and If the record Is right
which says that Mr. Yates was unsni-
mously reelected. then the iron bars
! question had not reached any ears at
