Director Hughes Declaration.
Other Witnesses Heard.

After the departure of Mr.. Hughes the
impatient group in the outer room was
given g. hearing. Mr.. Fred c. Coldren and
Mr.. w. T Piersen each occupied consider
able time before the board.
Fred G. Coldren. chairman of the COM
mittee of investigation of the Business
Mems Association, disclaimed, 1t is said,
any personal interest in the case as he does
not live in the school district and has no
children attending the school. Not having
any evidence from experience at first hand,
his conclusions were necessarily based on
the testimony of witnesses. The associa-
ton which he represented, he said. was
not committed to the removal or trans
fer of Mr.. Swartzell, but to a change In
methods practiced by him or the appoint
ment of a new principal. X necessary. The
general reasons for the opposition to Mr.
Swartzell were founded. he said, on the lat
ter's lack of diplomacy and tactfulness In
governing the school and method of
handling the pupils indicating suspicion
and lack of confidence.
W. T. Piersen who was chairman OF the
citizens committee which made the unsuc-
cessful defense OF c. NJ. Lacey Sites remov-
ed from the Eastern nine years ago, attested
the high efficiency of Mr. Swartzell as q
teacher of his children. The charge of lack
Of tact. which, he held. has never been
put down one OF the categorical crimes,
constitutes no specific charge. If terms not
80 general were used 1t might be possible,
he said to determine wherein Mr.. SwartzeH
was lacking as q teacher and man.

courteous gentleman. teacher OF excep-
tainments" he said II believe that he
most assuredly should be retained, and
that his transfer would mean q distinct loss

SwartZell Not the First.

1t was pointed out last evening at the
general discussion, which goes on each
night among the witnesses prior to their
admission to the board room, that the three
principals who have governed the Eastern
High School have all been subjected to
criticism Mr. Sites, the first principal. 1t
is said, made the target of charges by
the school authorities and was defended
by the citizens. his case being the reverse
OF the present controversy. The second
principal. II. NJ. Johnson is understood to
have been the subject of citizens commit
tee inquiries when he was promoted to
supervising principalship. Mr.. Swartzell,
it is said. is reaping the harvest of years
of general pickering and senstiveness on
Capitol Hll.
Dr. w. u. Trow, graduate of the East
ern High School in 1899. who is now prac-
ticing medicine In Washington, paid glow
as "A helper of teachers and pupils. He said
with air of courage that the principal
was being prosecuted for having carried
out the orders of those above him: that he
had not that support of the officials In the
high school and on the board which was
tected him in the past and present. He
said that the question Of athletics, which
had aroused contention at the Eastern, was
not confirmed there. and that all the high
schools in the city would bear nvestiga-
ton. DR.. Trow did not remain long before
the board
X. a. Church and John F. Cash, the for
mer having children in attendance in the
school for several years, testified to their
high appreciation of Mr.. SwartzelI and the
injustice of trying him upon general accu-
sations. Specific instances show, they said
that Mr.. Swartzell is scrupulously honest
and painstaking and solicitous in the dis
charge OF his duty.

HEARING CONCLUDED
No Decision in Swartzell
Case Before Thursday.
he WILL OPEN SCHOOL
BOARD SAID TO BE AGAINST
PRINCIPALS RETENTION.
Director Hughes Emphatically De-
clares for Mr.. Swartzell-0ther
Friendly Utterances Heard.

Testimony in the Swartzell-Eastern High
School controversy was concluded last
night before the board of education. and
the principal was given until September q
to file final brief in his own behalf.
Mr.. Swartzell will open the school, though
It is stated that repairs now under way In
the building make it doubtful whether it
will be ready for the assembling classes
by Monday.
The feeling among many of the parents
on Capitol Hill this morning is that It
would be better If the board were to post
pone the opening of the school rather than
allow Mr. Swartzell to take charge while
under investigation.
1t is thought by many that in permitting
the principal to open the school the board
Is adopting an expedient by which the
strength of the opposition, as shown by
the number of entering students, may be
tested. The general sentiment Of the board,
however, in spite of the favorable testt-
mony Of teachers. parents and pupils. Is
reported to be against the permanent re-
tention Of Mr.. Swartzell in his present posi-
ton. No decision will be made until after
next Thursday.
Several witnesses were examined by the
board last night, and nearly all OF them
strongly urged Prof. Swartzelrs retention
on grounds or efnclency ana character. Inc
witnesses included p. NJ Hughes. director
of high schools, who urged that Mr. Swart
zell be retained. w. T. Piersen, chief ex
amlner In the pension bureau and promi-
nent in East Washington, told of the bene-
fit his children received under the instruc
ton of Mr.. Swartzell. Other witnesses in
cluded Mrs. Birtwell. Miss Halves, Samuel
Stonebreaker Mr.. Berry, w. B. Trow, r.
A. Church, H. r. Schneider and John F.
Cash.
Director Hughes Declaration.
Mr.. Hughes was the first witness at the
closing session. and he was closeted with
the board from 8 O'Clock until after 8. In
answer to the question as to whether pupils
from the Eastern High School district at
tended the Central High School, Mr.. Hughes
stated that in his opinion the falling off in
attendance at the Eastern was due rather
to the growth of the Mckinley Manual
Training and the Business High Schools
than to dissatisfaction at the Eastern. From
sixteen to twenty-five pupils in the Eastern
district had attended the Central. Mr..
Hughes said. but all on examination. were
found to be actuated in doing so by trans
portation facilities. which were better in
their individual cases. Are you in favor of
the retention of Mr.. Swartzel?' Mr.. Hughes
was asked. Most emphatically l am" he
replied.

Romantic Necklace story.

There is a romantic story attaching
to the great rope of pearls worn by the
Princess Frederick Of Hanover at re-
cent functions. They are magnificent
specimens and very old. Centuries ago
a princess of the house loved them so
that they were buried with her. But
in process Of time the great grief OF
her relatives grew gradually fainter
and fainter until they began to whis-
Der what q shame it was that such glo-
rious Jewels should be wasted. one
day the princess tomb was opened
and the pearl necklace was taken from
her neck. But the pearls were spoiled.
They had lost their luster and beauty:
The new owner wept over them ana
dreamed about them, and her dream
told her that three generations OF love-
" women would have to wear them
before their luster returned. Three
lovely princesses did wear them, ana
they are now pearls without peers
