that the statement was false.
The chairman objected to such Ian
guage and prevented further trouble
by declaring the gentlemen out of or
der. Bamberger insisted on speaking,
but was not allowed to proceed.
EXPLANATIONS SHUT OUT.
Mr. Moyle then wanted to explain as
to what he had said regarding the new
superintendent having a fight on his
hands. He was ruled out of order, and
appealed. The chair was sustained by
a vote of six to three, one member hav-
ing left the room. Moyle moved that
Bamberger be allowed to talk, to which
Judge Henderson objected. He thought
it all out of place and bad for, the
future harmony eff the board. New
man took issue with the judge. con-
tending that all should be allowed to
speak. It want every man to have his

suppressing explanations. I move you
that the gentleman be allowed to
speak"
THAT is not part of the business be-
fore the house" said Critchlow. still
in the chair The appeal again resulted
in the chair being sustained.
Mr.. Wilson here moved that all re-
marks, including those of President
Nelden, be expunged from the record.
Moyle was on his feet in an instant:
Il shall object to that" he exclaimed,
for it is the most fragrant exhibition
of partisanship we have yet had. l
want it to remain there-al of 1t. -Four
will allow speaking from the floor of
this house; six will not. We want the
record to show that. Mr.. Nelden stood
here and made charges as to what
some member had said, and then he
turns around and votes against the
right of anv one else to speak. He
seems to have no desire to have the
charge refuted. How magnanimous of
him How fair; how broad. Why, [
say it is positively the rankest speci-
men of partisanship We have had.
Mr.. Nelden also said Mr.. Cooper was
the strongest man." he continued, I
say now that j. H. Paul is the strong
est. ablest man we have ever had here.
He better fills the requirements of such
a responsible position. Mr.. Cooper has
no degree, even, he is not graduate
from any college and never did any
work of this kind, to speak OF.

Ignoring this, Moyle continued: IF

RESTORES PEACE.
Giauque then wanted Bambarger to
be heard. Henderson objected. This
talk" said he, SIS a great detriment to
the interests we represent. I appeal to
every one of you gentlemen, personally.
[ hope we do not all forget the old
maxim of our school days. Soft words

The words of Judge Henderson had
the desired effect, and the motion to
expunge was put and carried by a vote
