WORTHLESS
Is Claim Made by Leopsr
And MaKcn at Reno
To-day

RENO. Nov. ..--i-a-t evening a the
meeting OF the city council the report
of City Attorney King was presented
to the council. He stated what had
become of the guns and oJner Wta-
pons taken from the men who had
been arrested. made IN accounting
for all fees taken in from this source,
re then turned himself to the city
council and in lengthy statement in
formed them that they would do bet
ter If they attended to the needs OF
the city more than to the constant
naceiN9 OF the officials of the city,
which they had themselves appointed
TO the Offices He gave that body
general rakinc down and ended up
that they could better use the peo-
ple's money by attending to the du-
ties of their own Offices and for the
advancement of the city than in
wasting their time censurins the 9th
or city officials.
Navor Kirman stated that he
would reply to the report but that 1t
wo,,ld take too much time. The mo-
lion to file the report of the city at
tOrnev was lost. the only one voting
for the filing being the councilman
that made the motion.
Mayor kirman then presented the
RESERVATIONS of City Engineer Maxson
and Chief of Police Leeper to take
effect at once This was entirely
unlocked for and caused quite sen
sa.ion. No attempt to fill the vacan
cjes in the city government was made
last evening. although it is said the
council had the men in sight for the
new appointments.
This afternoon both Leeper and
NaXson stated that the designations
presented to the council last evening
b. Mayor Kirman were written d,
them previous to their appointment
N case that when he proposed thei
names for the position that the res
of the council would criticise his &C
ton

hold and that he would fight thel
until they were ousted from once
He states that new appointments WI
ba made With nthe next few day
be made within the next few ga!
Nsxson will be forced to vaca'e 'he
Offices.
The whole thing is up in the a
and the officials seem to be taking
easy and doing the least OF the W"
rving. Kirman is the only one oI Il
council Who has expressed hlmse
in omen terms and it is believed TN
hn will do everything in his power
force the men out OF office.

High School Courses Extended

The Maryland Board OF Education
in ITS session at Jamestown recently,
decided to extend the course of study
for high schools to a four year, in
stead of three-year course, without
increasing, however, the number of
studies, but only extending it over a
longer period. This increases the per-
lod of the public school instruction in
Maryland from Io-year to a 1I-year
course. The board also adopted an
elective commercial course for the last
two years of the high school course.
these changes were made upon the
recommendation of the High School
Teachers Association.
