.CARAB|NCLEANS
UP HUBBARD

Frank cCarabin, the 1875 pound
boxer of the S. A. A. c., last night
outfought Ed Hubbard, the Seattle
boy, in three of the fastest amateur
rounds ever witnessed here. The
athletic club arena was crowded
with enthusiasts. 1t was hard luck
for the Seattle bunch as they had
done much loud talking about Hub
bards cleverness.
Other bouts Of the evening were
tame. Joe Adams and Max Ander-
son, Spokane, did some wrestling.
The big fellows rolled about a lit
tie and Adams threw Anderson
twice, so quickly the latter was
puzzled all the rest of the evening.
Frank Kahn threw Art Hsdgins.
Both were Spokane tntries.
Clarence Robert and Sam Creel,
both of Spokane, put up fair go
for three rounds, the former prov
ing the better man.
Ira Robinson, Seattle, and Otto
Boerner Of Co. H, National Guard,
put up some pretty wrestling. Rob
inson won with a fall which was all
hard luck for Boerner, who up to
that time had made pretty show
ing and handled himself equally as
skillful as his opponent.

Kimball, went to the high school
for a personal interview with Cloyd
on the day of the suspension, he
testified. There it was the girls
word against Cloyd's in regard to
the disputed cards. Mr.. Dudley ar
gued that Cloyd might be mis-
taken. Prof. Cloyd replied that he
could not make mistake.
The matter had been finally set
tied and the girls returned to
school. In answer to Cloyd's query
as to why he had reopened the
trouble, Mr.. Dudley said because
he had heard that Cloyd accused
his daughter of being forget.
Cloyd asked if Dudley would be-
lieve his denial of such state
ment and then it was that Mr.. Dud-
ley handed back the unqualified
declaration that he would not be-
lieve Cloyd under any circum-
stances. Prof. Cloyd subsidized at
this and Superintendent Tormev
took up the examination as to why
the matter had been brought up
again and received the same an
swer-on account of Miss Dudley
being accused as a forger to one
of the teachers by Cloyd. Pressed
for the nature of this information
Dudley told Tormey that was none
of his business. but said he would
disclose the identity of the in
formant to the board if desired.
Miss Grace Moore. high school
teacher gave instances in support
of her testimony that Prof. Cloyd
was discourteous. In a yelled refer
ence to Miss De Lashmutt he had
said he would rather his child
would die and go to heaven than be
exposed to the influence Of such a
teacher.
The witness said that one of the
teachers meetings was disgraceful
on account of Prof. Cloyd losing his
temper over the disloyalty to him
he suspected among the teachers.
In reply to a question from Mr.
Tormey as to why she had not told
him about it witness said she I'M
derstood that other teachers had
got into trouble by doing so.
Miss Charlotte Collins. another
teacher, substantiated Miss Moore
in regard to the Prof. Cloyd's DEM
onstrations at the meetings. She
had had her troubles also. When
asked why she had not gone to the
superintendent she said she under
stood that he knew everything that
was going on and that Tormey and
Cloyd were hand in glove.
Miss Inis Weed considered Prof
Cloyd discourteous and said he had
blamed her for the junior party
whereat Cloyd was immortalized in
"a parody pertaining to his
whiskers.
The teachers testifying last night
admitted that personally Prof.
Cloyd had treated them we'll. They
said there is a great deal of dis
satisfaction among the teachers
over present conditions in the high
school.

CLOYD CASE RUNS INTO
ALMOST HOSTILE CLASH

The high school teapot tempest
over Prof. Cloyd dubbed furiously
last night and nearly boiled over in
one instance when Superintendent
Tormey arose in wrath apparently
inclined to mix with Attorney Post.
President Phair, of the board, call
ed time however, and left what
might have happened merely mat
ter of speculation.
This symptom of hostilities. it
was one of several that made last
nights hearing lively, was caused
by Attorney Posts expressed sur
mise that Tormey and ClOyd are
like two peas in a pod in the high
school trouble, an intimation that
Tormey accepted as conveying a
yelled statement that he was
shielding Cloyd at the expense OF
truth. Thereupon Mr.. Tormey de-
nounced such remarks as an insult
and planted his six feet or so OF
stature squarely on the floor, At.
torney Post regarding him very
earnestly meanwhile. Then the
board broke 1t up.
The city superintendent, who
supplanted his accused subordinate
as the leading character last night,
invited a further collision with the
legal profession represented by
stating a belief that Judge Huneke,
as complainant, was in position
to intimidate attorneys into sign
ing a petition for Cloyd's removal.
Cloyd supplemented the remark
with another that he had heard the
judge was circulating such a petit
ton and requesting attorneys to
sign it. Judge Huneke was out of
the room when this allegation was
made, but returned in time to
catch the drift of the argument
and emphatically deny that he is
using his influence as judge to
influence the investigation.
AS result of this encounter thu.
board ordered its secretary to with
draw all petitions that have been
circulating through the schools ask
ing that Cloyd be retained. Super,
intendent Tormey said he had no
knowledge of such petitions, did
not approve of them and supported
the motion that they be withdrawn
The board took the testimony Of
Fred M. Dudley on the suspension
of his daughter from the high
school on an implied charge OF
forgery. Horace l.. Kimbal's
daughter was also implicated in
this matter and both girls also
testified.
Mr.. Dudley as witness told
Prof, Cloyd point blank that he
would not believe anything Cloyu
said under any circumstances,
which naturally tended to tighten
already strained relations. The
declaration was brought out by
Prof. Cloyd's efforts to show that
he had not accused Miss Dudley OF
forgery. This trouble arose from
Miss Dudley taking up an addition
al study at the high school.
Miss Dudley testified that she
had asked Prof. Cloyd's permission
to do this and that he had signed
her study card. granting the re-
quest. Later she was called TO the
Office by Prof. Cloyd. who demand.
ed to know who gave her permits
sion to take up the additional
study, denying that he had known
anything about it and claiming that
the qualification had been added to
the card after he signed it. He
then suspended her Miss Kimball

with Miss Dudley and was also
