CARROLL INSTITUTE WILL
ADMIT N0N-CATHOLICS

Important and somewhat radical
changes were made last night in the
constitution and rules heretofore in
vogue at Carroll Institute.
At a meeting OF the board OF direc-
tors and about forty OF the members
OF the institute. held last night. thirteen
amendments TO the old constitution were
adopted. which VIII tend TO broaden the
field of operation, and. under favorable
circumstances. enable the building IN
OF the club TO rank as the foremost OF
its kind in the United States.
Heretofore the constitution was con-
siderod so conservative az 10 imped.

under the new rules a provision has
been made for admitting non-Catholics

which bears upon that subject. follows:
The board OF directors may also
grant the use OF the gymnasium. bowl

SWARIzELL TESTIFIES
TO EDUCATION BOARD
Secret Sessions Are Held During In
vestigation of Eastern High
School Troubles.

Moseheim z. F. Swartzeu was the
principal witness before the Board Of
Education at its "star chamber" meet
ing last night.
What information the board got from
Mr.. SwartzelI relating to his admins
tration OF the Eastern High School could
not be ascertained. but It was said that
each member OF the board subjected him
10 very rigid examination.
The board, which is sitting as a COM
mittee of the whole. held last nights
session behind closed doors, and when
the meeting adjourned declined to even
intimate whether they had gained any
new evidence from Swartzell that would
tend to establish his actions in the
Eastern's trouble during the close OF the
last school year as legitimate
Ii Is understood that Swartzen com
pleted his testimony last night. but he
will attend each meeting OF the board
during the investigation in order TO
facilitate the work OF the board in ar
irving at It's final conclusions. Thomas
w. Smith will be invited to designate
two members from the East Washing
ton Citizens Association 10 attend the
meeting tonight.
Asked this forenoon whether he had
received such an invitation, Mr.. Smith
said he had not and could not say
whether he would comply with the re-
quest or not until after he had received
the letter In question. though IL was in
ferred that in all probability such a re-
quest would be complied with as the
East Washington Citizens Association
is bent on having Swartzell superseded
basing Its claim on the conditions that
have existed at the school, and that ere
sure to again exist when the school term
opens. II Swartzell is retained as its
principal.
1t was said last night that letters were
also sent out to parents OF students at
the Eastern with the object in view of
getting some new light on the subject
from that source. The names of the
parties to whom the letters were sent
the board declined to make known last
night
IT was learned. however, from other
sources. that the various associations
who have manifested any interest IN the
affair would be asked to delegate COM
mittees to attend the nightly meetings of
the board With Mr.. Swartzell in attend
ance some very exciting sessions should
