TEACHERS AND BOARD.
State Superintendent Defines Their
Mutual Duties.

Des Moines, April 25.-State Super
intendent Barrett In deciding an ap-
peal case involving the discharge of l..
C. Goodrich as teacher of the Cali
fornia Junction schools, upheld the
action of the county superintendent in
refusing to approve the discharge by
the board, and rather severely scored
the board for it's irregularity in this
case. He points out that the record
nowhere discloses that the board or
any member Of it at any time during
the term of school had visited the
school or in any way extended to the
teacher support or encouragement. In
the investigation of the case on Pc
tition of few of the patrons to have
the doctor removed only members of
the board appeared as witnesses
against the teacher. The department
has held for many years that teach
ers are entitled to the support and
cooperation Of the board and should
be shielded from the stigma of dis
charge, and that the board in this in
stance failed TO support the teacher
was manifest. The superintendent
also takes the ground that mere dis
satisfaction of the pupils with the
teacher is not sufficient cause for dis
charge of the teacher. He also sug-
gests that the rule in regard TO con-
tracts should be more rigidly adhered
to by both teachers and school Of
ficerS,

Washington. April 25.-Attorney
General Knox yesterday expressed the
opinion to Postmaster General Payne
that unless there Is something To
show whether the documents taker

no case would lie.
This statement was made after Mr.
Knox had gone over the papers for
warded to him by the postoffice de
partment Mr.. Payne replied by stat
ing the circumstances attending the
taking of the papers and the fact that
most of the papers file] in such gov
eminent safes are of a confidential ma
ture and therefore are not OF record
There will be a conference today be-
tween Mr.. Payne and Mr.. Knox. The
position taken by the postoffice depart
ment now is that it has done all that
Is possible to establish the. facts in
the case; that the improperly OF the
act is of equal importance to the ma
ture of what was taken and that any
further steps rest with the department
of justice. 1t is known by the post
master general that the safe from

contained valuable official papers al
various times and that Mr. Tyner has
SO stated. 1t Is not known, however,
whether any such papers were in the
safe since Mr.. Tyner last had access
to 1t.
Attorney Ross Pray of this city
counsel for the Tyners, called on the
postmaster general subsequent to his
interview with the attorney general.
He told the postmaster general that
the Tyners would be glad to have the
postmaster general or any representa-
tive of his department look over the
papers at the Tyner residence. Mr..
Payne talked with Mr.. Pray at some
length and pointed out to him that

HUNTER IMPROVES DEFENSE.
Goes on the Stand and Tells of strik.
ing Holland.

Osceola, April 25.-Matt Hunters
testimony concerning his killing of
Homer Holland was given yesterday.
He was on the stand fifty-five minutes
for direct examination by Lewis Miles,
and fifteen minutes for cross-examina-
ton by Hon. M. L. Temple. He made
good witness, but was more nervous
than formerly.
He testified that Holland was lung
ing forward to strike him SO that he
received blow on his right shoulder
after the shot was fred. He denied in
toto Walter Rusk's confession story.
Cross-Examination was more for the
purpose of getting material to use
in arguments than for entangling
Hunter while on the stand. Hunter
insisted on using his own language in
stead Of answering yes or no on cross
examination.
Anna Hunter made good witness
for her brother and was corroborated
on miner points by the new witnesses
Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Burchett. Matt
was corroborated by Mrs Billings Of
the Commercial hotel on the import
ant point that he went to the hotel fol
medicine instead of revolver.
The defense finished, after showing
Hollands violent disposition wher
broke" by gambling and also his great
physical strength. Two witnesses
swore to his habit Of carrying re
volver. Several swore that Hollands
left hand was powder burned

one of the best known steamboat

declared by jury to have acted in
