against the university regents to re-
strain them from removing him as
president. The complaint cited
that he was Under contract and had

&bling act, WITH the duties of en-
ploylng and Closing whenever, in

ment of the regents, removal was
required Therefore,, Judge Steele

today that the United States officials.
when they learned of the prevalence of

necessary to fumigate the mail after it
leaves the infected city. But few post
Offices on the coast are permanently
provided with disiufecting apparatus,
so the order could not be put into i'm
mediate effect. 1t was also directed
that any mail which may have left
Spokane for British Columbia which is
suspected Of being infected, shall be
returned to Spokane for fumigation
Postofiice officials here are of the
opinion that if the British Columbia Of
ficials desire to have the mails disin-
fected at the border they should attend
to that duty themselves All the mail
in question is addressed to residents of
British Columbia and some of it orig
mated in Canada. Il has been the
custom of this government to disinfect
mails from infected countries as soon
as they cross our border
