The superintendent said he had learned
many things since he came to this city,

II believe that Prof. Barton W. Ever
mann Is trying to lead the other MEM.
bers of the board of education by the
nose and that he has completely fooled
them. If il were not for his influence on
the board I believe the board would not
be at present attacking me. Prof. Ever
mann is the scandal monger who is re-
sponsible for the dismissal from the school
system of Mrs. Ida G. Myers. formerly
assistant superintendent of schools, a
woman who believe has been terribly
wronged. simply because her natural bril-
liancy aroused the jealousy of others in
the school system. What / am saying is
the absolute truth, and you can quote
every word OF II with my authority"
These words were spoken last night by
Supt William f Chancellor of the local
public schools to n reporter for The Star
who talked 10 him for nearly half an hour
in his home on Fairmont street. Mount

every one knows they are not the sort Of
people that anybody might expect to lead
by the nose.
Il may say with regard to the rest of
the interv ew that when l visited DR..
Chancellor in New York as the represen-
tative of the board I simpy went over
with him thoroughly as possible in the
short time at our disposal the various
provisions of the school law in order
that he might know what to expect. 1t
was not difficult to persuade him to ac-
cept. In fact, it seemed TO me that ne
did not examine the law carefully as
many other men might have done under
the circumstances.
Il made no promises of any kind to him
and eXacted no promises from him. In
fact, there was no agreement other than
that which was understood when he ac-
cepted the position under the provisions
of the law. l made no stipulation that
Miss Meyers must be dropped.
'Of course the law itself gave him con-
troll of all educational matters connect
ed with the schools, but under the direc-
ton of the board of education The
trouble has been that he did not give US
chance to approve of his course of ac-

our two nations which are so necessary to
the peace of Europe. We are of the same
race and religion. ties which should prove
strong enough to keep us in harmony and

needed was simply a little good sense on

RAILROADS ECoNoMIZE.
Blame Retrenchment on the Finan-

Special Dispatch to The Star.

CHICAGO. Ill. November 16.-Forty-
nine railway systems in the west and
middle west many of them operating
from Chicago. have made large reduc-
tons in the number of employees in the
mechanical. construction and maintenance
of way departments during the past few
days.
Between 25 600 and &c, ,OCO men have been
laid off. No great reduction in the train
service so far has been ordered
Il would rot undertake to classify the
reductions" said Slaso Thompson, statis
tician for the General Managers Asso-
citation. Neither would / attempt to give a
reason beyond the general one that ready
cash is too scarce to continue extensive
work along lines of construction and
equipment. Railroads are badly in need
of more trackage and more rolling stock
and it is not natural that work along
these particular branches would be stop
ped If money could be had conveniently
1 believe that the reduction in the num-
Der of employees at this time is largely
due to the financial stringency."
