Miss Ida 8. Dove, who was recently de.

Oh OFFERS from which to select
The controversy over the principalship of
the Bethesda school continues to be the
chlef topic OF conversation In public school
circles Of the county. and the outcome Is
awaited with interest. Mr.. Frank Higgins
attorney for Miss Dove, stated this morning
that the case WILL In one way or another
be taken to court and that there Is a pos
sibility or Its being taken to the court of
appeals. The question at issue will first
however, be passed upon by the state board
or education, and, If the decision of that
tribunal Is adverse to the county school
board 1t will probaly end the case. The
point to be decided is this: Has the county
school board the right to adopt and enforce
q regulation which IS at variance with a
regulation Of the state board OF education?
One of the regulations of the state board
OF education reads as follows: Certificates
of the first grade or first class of the Sec
ond grade may be renewed with or without
an examination at the order of the coun-
ty school board" 1t Is commended on be-
half of Miss Dove that she holds a first
class certificate of the second grade, and
that the same was renewed in June Of this
year by Prof. Earle B. Wood. county SUI
perintendent OF public schools. the paper
bearing his Endorsement to that effect, and
that the county school commissioners had
no right to enforce rule requiring her to
hold frst-grade certificate. 1t Is argued
that il county school boards are allowed to
adopt and enforce regulations irrespective
of those of the state board of education,
the latter are ineffective.

Work of Striking Dock Laborers.
More Attacks on Strikebreakers.

ANTWERP, September ga more disas-
trous fire than that of Tuesday ravaged
the timber dock last evening. 1t originated
undoubtedly among the riotous strikers,

heat was so intense that nobody could ap-
proach within 200 yards of the fire. Enor-
nous crowds gathered to watch the great
column of smoke and flames
At 10 o'clock last night the flames we're
raging furiousiy. At that time three steam
engines and five freboats were pouring
streams Of water on the fire. Nine sheds
had been destroyed and the damage had
then amounted to 50, 100000.
Two battalions Of infantry guard the dis
trict where the fire Is raging, but there has
been no rioting beyond continued attacks
upon the imported English lockers. Two
hundred Civic Guards are on duty, and an
order forbiddtng the formation Of crowds Is

REVIEWS OIL TRUST FIGHT.
Indianapolis Stops Retail Delivery
Alleging Short Measure rr

INDIANAPOLIS. September 5.-Patrons
Of the Standard OIL Company's city deliv-
cry were not served yesterday. The au-
thorities started in early to arrest drivers
and the latter finally fefused to drive the
wagons. The war against the trust was
renewed this morning when the inspector
Of weights and measures arrested driver
for selling oil in cans that do not bear
evidence Of official inspection. although the
Standard had announced that 1t would sell
by the can and not by the gallon as here
tofore.
The city holds that this is an evasion of
the law and that buyers have a right to
know how much they are getting for their
money. Notice of the arrest caused all
drivers to return their wagons to the
stables and they will deliver no more oil
till the question Is settled.
