PRoBsT LOSES OUT

perinte ndent Probst Of the Nevada
Schools, Is Not Valid.

Special 10 Times Republican.
Nevada, Feb. 10.-After considering
the matter for three days, County Su-
perinten6ent of Schools, I. G. Welty,
gave his decision last evening in re-
gard to the validity under which Su-
perintendent Probst of the city schools
is teaching, the decision being averse
to Mr.. Frobst and the certificate will
be revoked.
Superintendent Probst has made no
statement as yet whether he will ap-
peal the matter to the state superin-
tendent Or not. Neither has the board
made public their intentions regarding
allowing Mr.. Probst to take an exam
nation acquire a certificate in the
usual way and allow him to continue
his worl; in the schools. A heavy
pressure will be brought to bear
against such a procedure, however, as
there are large number Of the pa
irons of the schools, who are anti
Probst and will resist any attempt to
retain him in the schools.
This same action will soon start an
action to force him to return such
money s.s he has so far drawn as sal
ary and to prohibit the board from
paying him any salary that might
still be due him.

ifs office and deposited bond for
$1,000. In the Memphis race a man
named Saunders drove Billings horse,

laurels of the Billings stables by de-
feating Delmar. At that time man

disguised with the committees action
that he left the meeting. announcing
that he would be back next Friday,

Senator Dolliver took the committee to
task for it's "levity" in considering
railway rate legislation. He called at
tention to the fact that the committee
had been conducting hearings since
last summer and had not arrived ut
any agreement He charged that some
members of the committee did not ap-
pear to desire an agreement. Objection
was made by Senator Aldrich to the
charge that Mlevity" had been display
ed and said that he had been serious
in everything that he had said. Com
ing up to the defense of his sincerity,
he said that he would talk in any man
ner he pleased in discussing the pro-
posed legislation and would not be
called to account by Senator Dolliver.
The Iowa SENATOR who is the particu-
lar champion of the Hepburn bill, with
equal emphasis. replied that he, too.
would choose his own language and
characterize as he choose the methods
that he said had been resorted to.

EIght-Hour Law.
Washington, Feb. 10.-Workmen on
the Panama canal will not be govern

Patterson made an Intellectual effort in
their behalf yesterday by introducing
an amendment to the urgent deficiency
appropriation bill to strike out the
provision relieving alien workmen from
the operations of the eight-hour law.
The senate voted down the amendment
and passed the bill practically as it
came from the committee on appro-
priations.
Requiring men to labor more than
eight hours a day in the tropics was
inhuman, contended the Colorado SEN

provision was allowed to remain the
result would be to bring the cheapest
labor to the isthmus and he contended
that the example was not a good one
