WRIT OF PROHIBITION.
DR.. Hartigan Goes after the
Board of Regents.

Col. Arnett and W. X. ID. Dent appear
Before Judge Mason at Fairmont and
ask the Intervention OF the Courts in
the University Naturalization i'm
the Petition.
Special to the New Dominion.
FAIRMoNT, W. Va, Dec. 29.-This
afternoon Col. w. w. Arnett, of
Wheeling, and Attorney w. R. d.
Dent, of Grafton, applied to Judge
Mason for writ of prohibition re-
straining the board of regents from
interfering with DIR. Hartigan in the
disch large of his duties as professor
in the West Virginia University and
also to prohibit them from removing
him from his present position at the
time set by the majority of the boar
at their recent meeting at Parkers-
burg.
The petition recites the fact that
the proceedings of the board were
unlawful in every particular. The
members of the board were not mott
fled of the intention of proceeding
against the professor in the case.
No notice was given to him. No
opportunity was given him to appear
in his own behalf No charges were
filed against him. And no reason
was given as to why he should be
removed.
The action taken was simply no
tice to the professor that after the
first of March he was no longer to
be connected with the University In
his present capacity and that in the
meantime he was to hold no classes
and his connection was virtually sew
cred from the institution.
The protests of the minority of the
board in which they state that the
action was Illegal and beyond the
power of the board under the law is
made par of the petition. These
facts are set forth by four of the men,
bers of the board in a vigorous protest
against the action of the board and
: this is incorporated in the petition,
There are two courses of action
open to the court in case that he de-
cides to take any action. 1t is the
rule to always do some thing when
Z such proceeding is brought. The
petitioners have no doubt that this
will be done.
Judge Mason will either grant a
temporary writ and notice will be
served on the board to appear at GER
tain time and show cause if any why
the writ should not be made per-
manent. Or he may serve notice for
them to appear and answer why 1t
should not be granted as temporary
writ.
In case it is granted even in a tenn
porary form DR.. Hartigan will be left
in his position and will meet his clas-
SEES as usual until it is decided. Ii it
goes against him he will then be out
until other legal proceedings can be
taken.
A writ of mandamus will be asked
for in case the writ of prohibition
fails. The board Will have plenty of
opportunity to appear in court and
tell what actuated them in making
the removal as they did in the star
chamber method that they used.
