bring the matter to the attention of
the whole board. This they did not do.
but held sessions secretly for months,
and then laid the alleged evidence be-
fore the grand jury. in no single instance
informing any member of this board Of
the same. Hearing that the grand jury
Of this county. had not made out case.
as the affldavits do not allege that a
money consideration. except in one in
stance, and that to an outside party,
they then. In order to protect themselves
from a criminal libel suit, and in order
to damage the good reputation which
have always maintained in the eyes of
the public, brought the matter to the at
tention of the board.
"ABSOLUTELY INNOCENT"
Messrs. Conrey and Davis demanded
that l come to their office for the pur-
pose of answering certain charges. This
I refused to do for the reason that !
did not consider that they had any right
to summon me to appear before them,
they not being a committee appointed
by this board for this purpose, nor rep
resentng the grand jury Of this county,
nor any other judicial department. ]
informed the gentlemen at the time that
should they desire to see me, ]
would meet them at the offices of the
board of education at any time they de-
sired, and in public, in regard to any
charges or affidavits they desired to pre-
sent. These facts will he fully substan-
tiated upon investigation by the board
and will prove me to be absolutely inno-
cent of any wrongdoing. AS to Mr.
Axtell's connection with the matter, ]
look upon 1t as an attempt made by enc
mics Of long standing in the department
to damage his reputation. I have al
ways known him as an honest man, and
If he has ever tried to help any one tc
retain his position, it has been from
purely friendly motives-and many poor
people for whom we have both secured
positions will bear us out in this matter
will further state that my influence
being Populist member of this board
has been less than any other member;
that of some twenty-five new teachers
did not appoint but two whom l hao
recommended, and that Of the changes
made there were fewer in my ward thar
in any other in the city.
l further desire to state that the mon
ey alleged to have been paid to one Pit
man. former member Of this board
was never received by me.
In conclusion l desire to request thai
a committee be appointed by your hon
orable body for the purpose Of thorough
ly investigating this matter. and tina
my actions be given full publicity in thi.
regard: and If the evidence obtained
warrants my resignation or reflects up
on the good name which have hereto
fore borne, the same will be forthcoming

Committee of the Board of Education Sitting
in judgement
RESOLUTION SUSPEND sUPERIN-
TENDENT AxTELL
White Cooper
Rack-Night Held End
Investigation Reached

Of said investigation to this board as
speedily as possible.
That this committee be empowered to
summons as witnesses any Of the men,
bers OF this board or any of the en-
ployes or teachers under the employ OF
this board.
That this committee be empowered to
extend its investigation to other mat
ters not directly connected with said
charges, but which may be developed
during the process of investigation, and
in It's judgment may require investiga-
tion.
That this committee be, directed to
proceed with all possible dispatch to the
conclusion Of it's Investigations, and IL,
in it's Judgment, it may seem necessary
at any time to make partial report of
its proceedings. or il the board shall so
direct, a partial report shall be made to
this board at any time during the pro-
gress Of the investigation.
That this committee be empowered to
call on the district attorney, for legal ad
vice, and to employ stenographer to
take down the proceedings in shorthand
and reduce the same to typewriting.
That all the sessions Of the committee
shall be open to the public.
Director Conrey moved as an amend
ment that the investigation be made as o
board without the intervention Of any
committee. Director Davis seconded
this motion.
Mr.. Webb opposed the amendment
saying that such action would entail an
almost endless task upon the members
of the board. and would prevent a
speedy conclusion Of the matter. He
said that the members had not the time
to devote to the matter, and by referring
1t to a committee much of the work
would be taken off the shoulders of the
board.
Mr.. Poor argued that If the board
could make the investigation it could
delegate the authority to a committee of
its own members.
At this juncture Mr.. Davis suggested
that i0would be proper to give those who
were accused of wrong doing an oppor-
tunity to make a response to the charges
The herald., 1897-11-21
PROCEEDINGS BEGUN
Axtell Wanted an Attorney but Failed
to Get One

Anxiety as to his case or desire to be
promptly on hand at the investigation
impelled Director Adams to lose no
time in getting back to the board Of edu-
catio,3 rooms after dinner last night. He
was there first, having admitted him
self to the rooms with his pass key.
There was nothing in his manner to in
dicate that he was suffering from any
pangs of conscience. He chatted
pleasantly with his acquaintance as
they came in. Axtell did not appear un-
til later, and his manner showed that
he was worried. He conversed for a
time with Mr.. Davis andithen with some
of the members of the board, including
the members of the committee. He de-
clined to discuss his case. however
During the afternoon he had engaged
Judge Mckinley to represent him as
counsel, but the latter found 1t impos-
sible to be present. and this information
seemed to worry Axtell greatly. He
appealed to Chairman Poor OF the in
vestigating committee for delay. He
said the persons prosecuting the case
We're attorneys, an6l he was not compe-
tent to fight out the case. Against
such prosecutors I would be greatly
Handicapped" said he. All that the
committee could do was to wait to see
If he could not secure the services Of an
other attorney. For nearly an hour the
committee waited, but no attorney came
for Axtell. and at 1856 o'clock Chairman
Poor called the meeting to order.
PRELIMINARY MOVES
The action of the board at the morning
session was read from the minutes in
order to show that the committee had
authority to conduct the examination.
The roll of the committee showed Mr..
Braly to be absent. Mr.. Conrey asked
/ what method was to be pursued in the
examination Of the witnesses, and Mr..
Poor stated that the direct exalnina-
tion was to bS conducted by the commit
tee; that the accused might then cross
examine the witnesses and afterwards
others who desired to ask questions
might do so. The committee reserved
The herald., 1897-11-21
COMMITTEE APPOINTED
Adams Makes Several Motions ant
Uses His Vote

Mr.. McInerny moved that the mem
bers of the board, other than those of tn
committee, be especially invited to at
tend the investigation and take part il
the proceedings. but it was thought tn
last parag graph of the resolution cover
ed that point. M
Replying to the statements made by
Mr.. Adams. Director Davis stated thai
the accused had been misinfornled as
to the source of the information which
led to the charges. The matter first
came out as vague rumors and 1t was
not until positive information was had
that any action was taken. He stated
that there had been no great inquiry
among the teachers and that he had
questioned only two of them. He in
vited every person involved in the mat
ter to make replies.
mo, no." said Adams. excitedly:
why didn't you obey rule 104? You held
star chamber sessions to get at what
you thought would reflect against me-
You are prosecuting innocent men, ana
the time will come when you will wish
that you had kept your noses out Of
other mems private business"
The vote on the amendment of Mr.
Conrey was then taken as follows: Yeas.
Messrs. Davis. Mathis. Conrey and Bra
y. The negative vote was Poor. Webb
McInerny and Adams. The amend
ment was declared lost.
INVESTIGATORS CHOSEN
On motion of Mr.. Davis, the name Of
Superintendent Foshay was stricken
from the original resolution and instead
it was provided that the committee
should consist of three members of the
board. On the original resolution DR..
Mathis asked to be excused from vot-
ing, as he had to appoint the commit
tee. The vote was: Yeas, Poor, Adams,
Webb and McInerny; nays, Conrey, Da-
Wis and Braly. Messrs. Conrey and Da-
Wis insisted upon the charter provision
that the investigation be made by the
board as a whole, and as there was much
doubt as to the legality Of the commit
tees action they positively refused to
serve upon it.
DR.. Mathis then appointed the COM
mittee as follows: Chairman. Mr.. Poor.
and Messrs. Braly and Webb. AS Mr..
Braly asked to be permitted to with
draw, Mr.. Webb moved that DR.. Mathis
be made the chairman of the committee,
but this motion was declared to be out
Of order. At this juncture Mr.. Miner
ny remarked that there were no charges
against him and intimated that he was
available for service on the committee,
but his offer was not accepted.
A long wrangle followed as to whether
Mr.. Braly was to be permitted to resign

from the committee. DR. Mathis stated
that 1t is a matter of curren rufGor,
and with some truth, that there was Il
well defined majority and minority in
the board, and he desired to recognize
both sides on the committee. He insisted
that Mr. Braly remain a member The
vote on Mr. Webb's motion to substitute
Mr. Bartlett as a member in place Of
Mr. Braly was: Yeas, Poor, Adams AMI
Webb; nay, Mathis. The other members
declined to vote and as the vote did not
indicate the wishes of a majority Of the
board DR.. Mathis declared the motion
lost. Mr.. Braly suggested that COM
mittee OF persons not connected with the
board be appointed, but this was said to
be impossible under the law.
Adams here interposed the demand
that, since he was willing to resign If
the charges were proven true, it is un-
derstood that the two members who had
accused him resign II he was exoner-
ated.
ATTORNEYS TAKE A HAND
Judge Houghton Of the League for
Better City Government was granted
the privilege of the floor, and stated that
that organization desired to be repre-
sented at the investigation. He was
assured that the league could have a
representative there who might take
part in the proceedings.
Mr.. Webb thought the public should
be admitted, and moved that all politi-
cal and other organizations be permitted
to be represented. He said the matter
had been before the grand jury AND If
that body acted it's action could be taken
as sufficient to satisfy the board and the
public and that the board could gauge
it's own action by the attitude Of the
grand jury. Adams asserted that he
feared no grand jury and moved that ali
affidavits and other information be sent
to the grand jury. His motion failed
of a second.
Mr.. Davis mentioned the fact that the
affldavits showed that Axtell had re-
ceived money and that there was enough
evidence before the board to justify the
suspension of Axtell pending investiga-
ton. He made a motion to that effect,
providing that Mr.. Charlton, the dep
uty building superintendent, act in AK
tells place during his suspension.
Webb objected strenuously, asserting
that it was unfair to condemn man
before he had been proved guilty. He
asserted that the members who were
pushing the prosecution, when they vot-
ID for Axtell knew of the matters with
which he was now charged. He thought
Axtell should be given an opportunity
to be heard.
ADAMS HAD A VOTE
Mr.. Conrey denied that he had known
Of the charges or the fact upon which
they are based at the time Of Axtelrs
election. Mr.. Davis also denied that he
had heard more than rumors. "Axte.l
was shown these afIidavits several days
ago. He knew of their contents" as
serted Mr. Davis. HE was given an
opportunity and even invited to make a
