the other night and he said TO me and
another gentleman who was with us,
that he had nothing against Moret0n,
That he liked him. and that II he had

Neden gave as his reasons for want
ing TO question Judd the fact that the
board knew nothing about the man.
SERlOtS CHARGE,
II know that Judd ran a cigar store
here In this city with q card room IN
the rear, where men played cards for
cigars, Now, Mr.. Moyle says that he

THOSE SAFFRON INTERVIEWS.
Giauque talked for some time on the
small evening sheet story, as well as
an interview In the morning edition
OF the same paper. He had thought
that MI Nelden was manly enough
TO take defeat gracefully and in his
opinion the statements OF Nelden in
the papers would do the schools more
harm than anything that has occurred
In years.
Think Of member saying our
schools are not as good as they were
few years ago" he exclaimed, 81
suppose Mr.. Nelden means that since
he ceased TO be president Of the board,
the schools have fallen from their
standard I should think that any
member who would make such a state.
ment ought to resign"
NELDEN MIsouoTED.
Well. ] made the statement and I |
maintain 1t and can prove It." said
Nelden. But the entire latter half
OF that interview Is not true and / have
asked the Tribune TO retract II. They
misguided me In some material things"
II has been said" continued Giau-
que, that II the Mormons' ever got
IN control OF the board. the schools
would deteriorate. ] use the term Nor
mon because II is evident what Ia
meant by a certain religious element"
THAT is the first time the word was
ever used on this floor, said Nelden.
Giauque went on In peaceful strain,
refutlng the Idea that any attempt
was being made to place the Mormon
element IN control Of the board. He
said he could not help resentng the
statements made by Neden and he
therefore offered a resolution providing
for a committee OF two to investigate
the effect OF Nelden's statements. and
their truth or falsity.
If these statements are true we
ought 10 know Il. IL they are false
We ought to state II TO the world"
WILL INVESTIGATES TT.
well, go ahead and state It," put In
Nelden, you don't need committee"
Cummings spoke briefly in defense of
himself Young made a calm talk in
opposition to the resolution. He urged
that II was unnecessary; that the soon
er the subject was dropped, the sooner
II would be forgotten; that men IN the |
heat Of temper often say things they |
would not otherwise say
And why should we get into a furry |
and appoint committees, and all that |
sort Of thing. because certain state |
mcnts appeared In some lurId pubica-
tIons. They will not leave any effect"
