DISCORD IN THE FACULTY.
Bozeman, June s.


This morning there arrived in town a
committee of the state board OF educa-
ton which will begin an investigation OF
the Montana State College and school or
Mechanic Arts. There is a strife among
the officers in charge of the various de-
partments and the members of the col
lege faculty. The committee on investi-
cation consists of NJ. J. Garrett, of Hell
n j. G. Mckay of Hamilton and Henr
r. Melton of Dillon. The committee has
Instructions to secure data from every
department of the school relative to the
management of the various departments
and require those informed Of the
trouble existing in the school to give evil
dence touching the matters in contro-
versy. n examination will probably
last a week. The sessions will be held
at the college and the evidence will be
taken down in shorthand by a competent
stenographer who will afterWard trans
scribe the notes for the volume of facts
submitted in the report of the committee.
The investigation will be open and free
to all spectators, but Chairan Prof. Gar
rett, stated that there would be no I'M
seemly conduct allowed in the presence
of the mmi and if the malcontents
wished to call each other names they
would have to select some other place

opinion appears to be that the ault of
the whole trouble is in having the man.
agenent of the school in the hands Of a
local board instead Of the state board of
education. The members of the college
faculty are only human and their actions
toward one another have probably been
about as angelic as would rave been the
case had another set of men been in
charge of the school, instead of those
now employed. There appears to be too
much playing to the local board. To win
h applause O r bring down the disap-
prevail of the local board seems to nave
been the incentive of every worthy action
and mis%chievous scheme of those who
are concerned in the present trouble. 1t
is understood that the school at Mis-
soula, which is under the management Of
the state board, has no such trouble as
the schools run by local boards. The To-
cal board is composed of able men but
they are constantly made the recipients
of the petty troubles of the members Of
the faculty and this disturbing feature
would be lacking if the college manage
ment had to go to Helena with it's trou-
bles instead of airing them at home.
Latest pews from the country is to the
effect that the victory of the Clark forces
is not as great as was at first supposed.
Gallatin county has always been counted
safely a Clark stronghold and there are
many who hesitate to believe that the
capture of the convention by the DAILY
forces is within the bounds of possibility.
Yet it appears the country precincts have
leaned uniformity toward the opponents
of Mr.. Clark n with few exceptions
have sent a majority to the convention
that will not favor an endorsementof the
of the senator-elect. The DAILY camp is
as neutral ground and into it has been
decoyed a numbe of democrats who
nave lost their political reckoning in the
obstruction attending the reorganization
of the party along fractional ines and
who may yet go over to the opposition
cap. Posing as an "a%nti-faction,' ticket
the DAILY delegates have won in several
parts of the county and the contest in
the county convention will be more fierce
and interesting than at first supposed,
Both sides are still working hard.
R. D. Steele left this morning for a few
days trip to Dillon and vicinity where he
will transact business.
A. E.. Mcintosh departed for Livingston
this morning expecting to be absent sew
eral days on legal business.
