C. H. Axtell, the tool Of corruptionists,

intendent of janitors and buildings I'M

rector Davis late yesterday afternoon by
a special messenger. He took no
chances of it's not reaching the man for
whom 1t was intended and Mr.. Davis
receipted for it.
The document is brief, simply con-
tanning the statement that he herewith

did not please Mr. Davis. If there was
to be any resignation it was wanted
without any string to it. 1t will be sent

at might be little strong to express
1t that way, but that is the idea" The
witness admitted that he had also come
under the influence of this domination
in some things and that some OF the
prerogatives of one who held position
like his had been taken from him; that
in some matters he had been compelled
to take back seat and that to certain
extent his work for the best interests OF
the schools had been seriously handi-
capped.
BOTH HAD PASSES
'You had pass to Milwaukee and re-
turn?" was a question that started
something. The witness admitted that
he had received free transportation be-
cause his name was on the program at
the Milwaukee meeting. All such per-
sons had been given passes
'Mr. Webb had a pass also?" asked
Mr.. Gibbon, and when the superintend-
ent said he did not know, Mr.. Gibbon
turned to the attorneys on the other
side and stated that he knew Webb had
a pass.
"I'll make you prove that" Missed
Webb in tone that could not be heard
to the door, but which was full Of venom.
