AN ABSURD CHARGE.

The college people wero hot and charged
Secretary Stockwell OF the state board
with trickery. The charge was ridiculous,
for the bill was introduced in the Senate
when Senator Coggeshali of Bristol, pres
ident of the board OF managers of the
college, was present. lt was referred to
the Judiciary committee. reported back
with recommendation Of passage, and
again.with Senator Coggoshali present,
the bill was READ by sections and passed.
Prof. FlagR has since published an
article in which no charges trickery and
an attempt to railroad the bill through.
Az the same session there was an attempt
to get bill through, without reference,
authorizing the college TO use up an un-
expended balance OF eleven thousand
dollars. That was railroading but it
was sido-traoked.
