he said he believed some crooked work was
going on, and the whole matter was news to
him, and things ought to be done 'above
board f." Mr.. Dewitt got on the floor and gave
the alleged charge as he remembered it from
reading Pittsburg newspaper clipping. Mr..
Hannas subsequent statement practically
gives Devitt's remarks more clearly.
Mr.. Trezise then read the second letter as
follows:
philadelphia,
"6-2-ls96
"Mr. VIM. T. Trezise
"Shenandoah, Pa.
MY Dear Sir Since writing you l reed from
Dr. Schaeifer State Supt., "a copy of protest by
Messrs. Connors, Conry, Dewitt and Manly to
prevent the issuing of my commission.
81 have just mailed 1t to the School Board at
Knoxville, Pgh, Pa, asking that reply to it

upon vile rumors gotten up by cabal, as
leader in factional fight of long standing. |

you. but ! want you to write TO w. o. Quest
Pres. of the Board; W. J. Hunter Sec'y Of the
Board, and j. f. Grimes Treas, for such infor-
nation as you may desire. Or getan expression
from the Board | think you should do some
thing of the kind and then address "a letter to
DIR. N G. Schaeifer, State Supt., representing the
other side at Shenandoah. | am not the least
afraid of the matter, but now | must come
front, and draw the sword, and show these
gentlemen that they are wrong. Write Rev. NJ.
j. Eklcs, pastor Arch street Pres. church here.
He has known me for yeRrs. We were in
Bradford at same time years.
sc. d. BoGARr."
The remarks and readings quoted were
interspered by discussions as to whether the
committee of three should be appointed; and
the reading of the last letter was supple
mented by the following sensational remarks
on the part of Mr.. Hanna This ofTense
occurred on the 23rd of April 1t is plain,
n,rl,N oh g
13-year-old girl in the school room. 1t is the
Pittsburg Leader of the issue of April 9th
and the Pittsburg Dispatch of the same date
two different versions--all agreeing on the
facts. Both say his resignation was de-
manded. One says the mother refused to be
interviewed. His open defense before the
Board was that the child's clothing was torn
by romping around the room. There is no
necessity for the child being in the school
room after hours romping around with the
Superintendent. The charges are not light
and Mr.. BOgart must appear before the State
Department, make his denial, ask for hear
ing if he wants to, and if he says he wants
no hearing he cannot be Superintendent of
any district in Pennsylvania"
Mr.. Williams could not see what could be
accomplished by sending a committee to
Harrisburg and Mr.. James thought the Presi-
dent and Solicitor ought to constitute the
committee
Mr.. Hanna finally moved an amendment
that the President and Solicitor be appointed
and the amendment was carried on division
by a vote of S to g. the President not voting.
