CAUSED HALF HOUR TALK
JONES WAS BUSTED AND PERRY
PUT IN.
School Census Enumerators Selected
For All Precincts Except the
First, That Being Left to the
Members From the Precinct-Fi-
nancial Report For June.

A SIS janitorship that is good for
period of nine months blocked the bust
ness of the board of education for hal
an hour last night. Chairman Wilson
of the buildings and grounds committed
started the row by moving that Jo-
seph E. Perry, who was recommended
by L. a. Benton. be named as janitol
at the Jordan school, N place of Mar
Gus Jones.
This brought Mr.. Newman to his feet
for the purpose of uncorking some in
dignation. Il want to KNOW" said Mr.
Newman, addressing himself to Mr.
Wilson, why a good man is being dis
charged and a man of uncertain quail
| fications put in. Mr.. Perry, know, is
not as good as Mr.. Jones. People have
been to me and have told me so.
IF Mr.. Benton has any strings on
this board l want to know it. He sim
ply wants Jones discharged because he
has had some disagreement with him,
and Jones has left Benton's farm"
Why Motion Was Made.
Replying to Mr. Newman, Mr.. Will
son stated that he had favored the cleo
ton of Jones originally, because of Mr..
I
favored Perry for the same reason. He
explained that when Mr.. Benton donat-
ed the site for the Jordan school he re-
quested that the tenant on his farm,
which is near by, be employed as jan
itor, if willing to do the work II was
in favor of carrying out that under
standing in the Jones case, and / am
in favor of it in the Perry case Mr..
Wilson added. Mr.. Perry is now Mr..
Bentons tenant
Mr.. Wilson then suggested that Mr..
Benton, who was present. be heard on
the subject, but Mr.. Newman objected.
Mr.. Bamberger made little talk in
favor of Perry, because it would be
courtesy to Mr. Benton. Mr.. Moyle de-
clared that he could not vote to make
change in janitors. He said that if the
janitor got the impression that Mr..
Benton could remove him at Will he
would work to please Benton rather
than the board.
Jones ousted.
Here Mr. Walker made little talk,
in which he stated that Mr.. Benton
had authorized him to say that if this
change was made he would never ask
for a similar favor again. When the
question came to vote Jones was dis
charged and Perry elected. Those vot-
ing in favor of Perry were Wilson,
Critchlow, Walker, Young, Bamberger
and Nelden. The Jones men were Gil
auque. Moyle and Newman. Judge
Henderson was absent.
A letter from Jones, which was sent
to the committee on buildings and
grounds. but which was not read to the
board last night, contained some salty
charges against Mr.. Benton, but the
committee did not think they were en-
titled to serious consideration.
