Or. William E. Chancellor, superin-
tendent of schools. on trial for his Off
cial head. viii be ordered by his physi-
clan TO leave Washington as soon as he is
in condition TO travel
DR. Charles L. Bliss communicated with
Or. ChancelloT's attorneys. and announced
that his patient is in such poor health it
is imperative that he be taken away from
Washington, where he is more or less
brought in daily contact with matters
pertaining 20 the schools and to the
charges against him. so that he is in a
continual state of worry.
For this reason, Or. Bliss said and
for the added reason that the climate of
this city is such that the superintendent
cannot recuperate quickly. he will be told
to take a rest in some place outside the
city. where his mind will be entirely az
rest, and where he will also receive the
benefits OF a change of air
Unable 10 Bear II.
II is well known that DR.. Chancellor.
although III. has. whenever able. at
tempted 10 aid his attorneys in refuta-
ton of the charges uttered against him
by the board of education. In his already
weakened condition this IS believed TO
have proved too much for him. and as a
result he has broken down almost COM
pletely, although by a change of scene II
is hoped he will speedily recover.
As the board at its last adjournment
tacitly agreed there would be no resump-
ton OF the hearing until DR.. Chancellor
was able to give his version of the whole
course Of school events. since he came 70
the District. II is. of course improbable
that the trial can go on now for several
weeks. unless some entirely unexpected
change in the superintendent condition
is brought about soon.
II is not known when DR., Chancellor
will be ordered 20 leave Washington, nor
is it known where he will go. That he will
be directed to proceed 10 some resort,
where he viii not be bothered by any
news Of school affairs in Washington,
however, is most probable. AS to the time,
Il Is likely DR.. Chancellor will be directed
to 20 IN a few days, as his physician said
II is desired he recuperate as fast as pos
sible.
With the board of education thus un-
able. by its own act, 10 continue with
the trial inasmuch as it has said in
substance IL would not proceed until the
superintendent's condition is such ne can
be present, II is likely the fate of the
superintendent and of the board viii come
before Congress before that Of Dr. Chan
cellor comes before the board.
A Pulling Point.
one OF the most puzzling points in the
trial Of the superintendent, il is believed
has been cleared 10 some extent by a
fact msde known yesterday TO The Wash
lngton Herald. The long-famous article
which. somewhat changed from the orig
inal. appeared IN an educational paper OF
February. 1907. and which was alleged tr
have been written by DR.. Chancellor, has
been discovered. It was asserted yester-
day, not TO be the article which the sup
erintendent denied having written.
Dr. Chancellor. il Is alleged, at a meet
ing of the board OF education. held in the
latter part of April. 1907, was asked by
member Of the bOard-said TO have beer
Mrs. Mussey-whether he had written an
article which appeared in the publication
not for February. 1907. but for the issue
/ Of April in the same year.
DR.. Chancellor, it was ascertained. de
ried fatty having written the article
which appeared in the April number OF
80
asked about the, one which appeared in
the February issue of the same magazine
/ The members Of the board, it has beer
shown in the evidence given at the trial
already knew that DR.. Chancellor haC
/ written the article in the February issue
50. IL is claimed. he could not have de
MED at this April meeting, having writ
I ten an article, which he had already ac
knowledged as his own.
/ II was also stated yesterday, that. az
/ ter this board meeting in April, one mem
/ Der of that body went TO the secretary
and asked that the questions put TO Or

/ This it is alleged, was not the usual Gus

The questions and answers, il is alsC
alleged, were not put down when made
but written there after the board ad
/ iourned, and were made merely from tn,
memory OF the secretary, and from tha
OF the member who made the request.
Correct in the Main.
1t was also stated yesterday that tn
article which DR.. Chancellor wrote 10
the educational paper was not only ap
proved. IN fact. If not in it's terms, b!
several of his subordinates. but after I
| had appeared and had borne the scrutin,
of some of the board members. one O
them expressed the opinion that ther
was nothing the matter with it, and tha
it was correct in the main. Dr. Chan
ceHor it is alleged. was to have signet
the article, as were two other teachers II
this city. The other two. it is said. go
what are known in the Southwest as "col,
feet" and backed out at the eleventh
hour Dr. Chancellor signed the aSticle
which was typewriter, and forwarde,
it to New York.
II has already been shown by the test
mony of one witness-for the prosecu
tion-that the article which appeared i
the February issue of the educationa
/ paper had suffered many changes afte
