aroused his ire.
THE assertion that caused cotterii 10

Cotterill was a candidate l wired him
that ] did not consider the positions Of
school director and assistant city engineer
compatible. When / returned 10 Seattle

DIR. Titus circular contains an attack
upon Supt. Barnard. in which he is charged
with having employed eight school children
upon the work OF copying the registration
rolls. DIR, Titus publication also charges
that II was brought out In the trial OF the
charges against Mr.. Barnard that he had
for his assistance in the Van Houten cam
pagn."
Regarding these matters Mr. Barnard
said last night: "Dr. Titus manufactures
has lies quite skillfully, but people can easily
see through them. His statement that
employed school children To copy the regis
tration rolls is absolutely false. One even
ing las, week as l was leaving the office
several people entered and asked 10 see the
roll books. I directed them to the room
where DIR .f'lius' hired clerks were at work
fAHz, FAI%
None OF these persons were connected with
the schools In any capacity.
The record of the testimony OF the trial

ment that had paid him $3.50 =
