District Justices, II Il Authorita-

It has been definitely decided that the
justices OF the supreme Court Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia VIII take cognlzance OF
the charges preferred by DR.. William E
Chancellor, superintendent Of schools.
against the board of education
Whether or not action will be taken be-
fore the conclusion OF the trial OF Dr.
Chancellor before the board Of education
on charges preferred against him by the
board is not definitely known.
This fact lends a new and interesting
phase TO the controversy. Chief Justice
Clabaugh and the associate Justices have
received copies of the charges. but they
have not been officially taken up or
brought before the court. No indication
was given as to the character Of the ac-
tlon 10 be taken, or whether it would be
favorable or unfavorable. One Of two
things will be done immediateIy-they will
either be dismissed. or the prayer VIII be
granted and the board Of education called
upon to answer.
Has Right TO Dismiss.
II IS said among lawyers that the Su-
preme Court. being the appointing power.
has the right to dismiss the board or any
of its members for cause. The manner of
a possible hearing is underlined, and the
procedure and decision can only be sur
missed.
Dr. Chancellor, last night made pointed
comment on the question raised by Cap
tain oyster at the board meeting Satur-
day. as to what assurance the board could
have that he would keep quiet and cease
his attacks, particularly the unpleasant
personal attacks. until the trial was con-
cluded. He said:

few moments thereafter, Professor Ever

When his rooms at the Henry were

There was also one letter from a man.

follows

Detective McGough made n few inquiries
and discovered that Spaulding had in
serted the advertisement. He likewise
discovered that many young Pittsburg
men were willing 10 take a chance on such

answers
Last night Spaulding was arrested as a
suspicious person on complaint Of Capt
McGOugh.
Spaulding had a large amount OF money

Capt. McGOugh he would give 5000 cash
