ders. II viii also show that a certain
member Of the board. IN the matter OF
purchasing books has, without authority
OF law. purchased books and caused
acquisitions to be issued for the payment
thereof. and has deceived the board as tc
tile parties from whom these books were
purchased, by representing to the board
that he purchased the books from a con
cern which had been out OF existence for
at least one year prior to the purchase
Of the books"
DR. William L Chancellor, through his
attorneys. Fulton. Leckie. & Cox. made
this statement last night. The position OF
the board Of education and some few OF
it's individual members on the present
controversy was severely scored. The
references is made to Prof. Barton w
Evermann. vice and acting president OF
the board. and the statement OF the su-
pertntendent's attorneys goes on 20 say
He (Dr. ChanceIlor) also coptends that
said member, without authority of the
board. and in the absence of the president
of the board, issued to the secre airy, and
through him 10 the entire clerical force
Of the board. an order forbiddigg them

the truth, and afraid Of giving the super
intendent fair and honest trial, and
access 10 indisputable evidence? II not,
why was such an order issued?
Charges Personal Spite.
"The foundation of the whole fabric
Of charges rests upon the personal an
tagonism Of certain members OF the board
TO the superintendent. He contends that
if a thorough and impartial investigation
can be had. IL VIII be fully established
that the board has violated the law
creating il. and has repeatedly interfered
with the administration OF the business
Of the superintendent; that members OF
the board have sought by threats and
intimidation 10 dictate how he should
discharge his duties and whom he
should nominate for various positions
in the schools. and that on his refusal
20 accept such dictation they threatened
10 antagOnize him in the discharge Of
his official duties; and this is. in part.
the cause Of the antagonism alleged IN
the charges.
"Dr Chancellor desires a thorough in
vestigation. and is willing TO answer any
charge properly brought against him. but
he objects 10 being tried by a board that
is prosecutor. witness, judge, and jury,
