Prof. McCoy's Comment.


to place his resignation at the board s
disposal.
Prof. McCoy's Comment.
Commenting upon the above letter
last night Mr.. Mccoy said: The chief
part of the censure seems to be, not
upon the severity of the case, but the
punishment being administered in pub
lie. AS TO this l may say that 1 struck
the boy with a pussywillow twig used
as u baton in singing class to empha-
size the fact that he must keep still.
The real punishment took place in the
office and was witnessed by one teacher
who was present and possibly by few
pupils from the outside.
However, l do not see that this has
any bearing on the Mulhall case, and
am surprised that it should have been
brought up. 1 am glad to say that the
same board practically exonerated ne
in the former case by promoting me 20
the principalship of the Oquirrh at a
higher salary, a few months later. This
fact, / hope, should satisfy the doubts
of any as to the enormity of the crime.
Letter From Millspaugh.
Upon another occasion Mr.. Mccoy
received a letter from DR.. MillspauSh,
suggesting that his discipline was, per-
haps, too stringent at times, the provo
father of boy that had been fined for
damage to a book and had not seen
the book. The reason was that at the
time of his demand all had been stored
away for the vacation months. In the
same letter, the principal was congrat-
ulated upon the good work being done
at the .Oquirrh school.
1t has also been claimed that Mr.. Nc
Coy had received Instructions from the
superintendent not to resort to cor
poral punishment. The following, A
sample of more than a dozen like notes
during the past two years, speaks for
itself:
Mr.. Mccoy: Please administer cor
poral punishment to - for presenting
you a forged excuse and for inducing
another boy to prepare the same. Then
have him make up all the time thTt
has been lost. Will you kindly preserve
the excuse given you?
(Signed) ]. H. MILLSPAUGH
A second reads:
Mr.. Mccoy: l send - back to you.
My understanding of the case is that
he was the more blameworthy boy, eS-
pecially as he refused TO stop fighting
when told to do so by a man. l there
fore give Ray no choice but to receive
corporal punishment at your hands.
(Signed) J. H. NJ"

the document to the Judge But then
there arose fear that an august fed
eral judge might look with disfavor
upon such a proceeding, and there was
much doubt about the propriety of the
act.
However it was finally agreed to ask
Judge John w. Judd, one of the attor-
neys for the plaintiff, to present the
petition.
Are you going to present the petition
in open court?" was asked.
well / guess not" said he. do you
want TO see me get into trouble?'
So the petition was presented to the
judge in his chambers after the adj
journment.

Fought to a Draw.

New York. May 12.-Oscar Gardner.
the Omaha Kid and Martin Flaherty
Of Lowell, Mass. fought a twenty-five
round draw at the New Broadway Ath-
letic club tonight in the presence of a
crowd that packed the auditorium and
held overflow meetings in the aisles and
entries. 1t was am unsatisfactory fight
from the standpoint of the spectators,
for there was a SameneSs about the
tactics OF the men throughout the sue
cessive rounds. and flashes of bril-
liancy were of infrequent occurrence.

each day, for the testimony is that
given before Referee Williams and is
being read by the lawyers. Hour after
hour and day after day there has been
the monotonous sing-song of question
and answer till WEAKNESS encumbers
the courtroom like the darkness of a
London fog.
The only change in the case yester-
day. was the fact that the plaintiffs
rested their case. That was. however,
no relief, for the defense began the
reading of its testimony and the drama
proceeded. 1t is feared that some day
judge, jury and lawyers will be found
asleep tagged out over their volumes
of testimony.

The Salt Lakes and Short Lines meet

$3.50, for the first time this season.
Neither team has yet known what it is
to be defeated, and as they are the best

no doubt, be a hot one from start to
finish. Another game between these
crack mines is scheduled for tomorrow

Manager Mckay of the University
team made arrangements yesterday
afternoon whereby he will take his
men to Provo today and give the boys
down there a return for the game
played here week ago last Thursday.
The cheap rates for the Christian En-
deavor excursion today offered such a
good opportunity that Mr.. Mckay
thought it the best time for the con-
test. The University nine defeated
Provo in their first game.

The talk among baseball people at
present is for the organization of a
state league. Considerable difficulty
has thus far been experienced in max
ing schedules, and the formation of
some definite organization of the ball
clubs is being discussed as a means of
making a satisfactory arrangement of
dates for all teams concerned The
mines now active in the field are the
Ogden, Salt Lake, Short Line. Colts and
Il. G. w. teams. Later on the Browns
will doubtless be ready to play ball,
Park City may also do so, and in all
probability a Pocatello aggregation. A
league composed of these ball-players
would certainly serve to make things
very interesting for the baseball lovers
in each community concerned, and
much interest would be added to the
sport If a definite arrangement We're
made at once for all games that are to
be played this season. Not only would
rivalry become more keen, but the pub
lie interest would increase in proper
ton. 1t is hoped that such an organ
ization as is proposed will speedily
ccme into existence, at least not later
than June l.
