demanded at their homes or else
where, and as the institution was
under expense in their enforced
stay at the college, that it was
nothing bnt right and inst that
definite and final action should
be taken. Mr.. White had wired
that he expected to be there,
but the board concluded that in
asmuch as the meeting had been
called week in advance of that
date, that he had a right to send
in his vote and had not done So,
that they would proceed with
the Wellborn case.
AS TO STATEMENTS
The statement sent out from
Starkyille by enemies of the col
lege and President Hardy that
the charges were only defeated
by one vote reveal the character
of malignant attack which has
been made upon the institution.
That it may be understood just
exactly how the vote stood, it
must be known that the Well.
born charges were such that it
was impossible to record the
conclusion of the board with the
single vote ''aye" or ''nay."
For the information of the
public the charges are thus re-
ferred to that the correct vote in
this matter may be made known.
For instance, the first paragraph
of the Wellborn docket charged
President Hardy with having
written to members of the board
urging their influence against an
investigation of himself. This
charge was not sustained by a
vote of thirteen to nothing, one
member of the board qualifying
his vote. The second paragraph
of the Wellborn charges averred
that President Hardy had ap-
peared as chief witness and pros
ecutor against the said Wellbornl
in the Investigation conducted by
Gen. Darlington, of the United
States army. This charge was
not sustained by vote of thir-I
teen to nothing, one member
qualifying. The paragraph
about hastily and foolishly dis
missing a cadet failed of being
sustained by a vote of thirteen
to nothing, six members qualify
ing their vote. Then comes the
formal charges, the charge of
arbitrary conduct was lost un am
imously, one member qualifying,
as was the charge of caitiscising
members of the faculty by the
same vote.
LIST OF CHARGES
Charge No. 8. violating college
regulations, was not sustained by
a vote of II to 2, two members
voting to sustain the same.
Charge No. 4, gross duplicity,
was not sustained by vote of II
to /. Charge No. 5, wilfuf mis-
representation and gross distor-
tion of facts, was not sustained
by vote of IL to1. Charge No.
Is, making a false statement to
Gen. Darlington uuder oath, was
lost by a vote of IL to /. Charge
No. z, making mis-statements to
public IN the jackson Clarion
Ledger, was not sustained uuan-
imously. Charge No. 6 B. mis-
statement of facts to people of
Mississippi. was not sustained by
a vote of IL to I, four members
qualifying their vote.
Charge No. 6. D, misrepresen-
tation of facts to pupils parents,

rity among the employees of the
college, was not sustained, two
members of the board not carry
ing to pass on this important
question until the faculty inves-
tigation had been completed,
eight members of the board
voting not to sustain, one of
which qualified his vote, two
members of the board voting to
sustain the chargas, qualifying
their vote and one member vo.
ting for the charge without any
reservation.
Charge No. 6 F, lax methods
and ver-bearlng attitude. not
sustained. 13 to 0, four members
qualifying. Charge No. 6 G,
that he is a milestone around the
neck of the college, was not sus-
tained by vote of IL to 0, the
remaining member of the board
asking to be excused from voting
for causes. The supplemental
charge of conduct unbecoming an
officer and gentleman, was not
sustained by a vote of IL 90,
one member asking to be excused
from voting. This finally and
detail disposed of the Wellborn
charges and the board adopted a
general resolution at Starkville
later setting forth their conclu-
sion in the matter.
FACULTY SUSTAINS HARDY
: Fhe faculty investigation re-
suited in the vindication of
President Hardy by a vote of 10
to 4, and the members of the
board who voted against the re-
tention of Mr.. Hardy pledged
their support in his future ad-
.,linistration. The investigation
gave to the members of the fac
ulty an opportunity to reconcile
all those appal emily conflicting
and statements which
had resulted in The disruption in
the college and it resulted In
clearing the situation generally
and an ameiloration of the ill
feeling with all concerned.
Several members of the facul-
ty, prominent in their work,
freely and voluntarily rendered
to the trustees the assurances of
their support of the president in
his work.
The tuberculosis cattle incident
was referred to, and Mr.. Maer
said this, like every other Incl
dent in the administrator Of the
president. had been greatly en-
larged upon. The sale of cattle
occurred in May, 1906. The cat
tie were condemned by the vet
erlnarian of the college, who
recommended that they be kill
ed, but stated that they could be
shipped to st Louis under certain
restrictions, provided they were
to be for beef cattle. President
Hardy had this question to deal
with for the first time, and
thought he was following prece-
dent in this matter, inasmuch as
a tuberculosis bull had been for
merly sold at the college.
The cattle were sold to a New
Orlerns cattle dealer, and Mr..
Hardy fully informed him of
their condition and they brought
a small price. Mr.. Hardy, no
doubt, was under the impression
that if the cattle could be ship.
ped to st Louis uuder certain
restrictions that the same ship
ment to New Orleans could be
made. where federal regulation
controlled. The cattle were not
shipped by the college to New
Orleans. but were delivered to
the dealer aG the college, who
assumed responsibility for their
shipment into a neighboring
state. The matter occurred over
two years ago, and no criticism
of it ever ensued against the

THE VOTE IN DETAIL.
p. w. Maer Tells How Hardy
Was vindicated all along
Line.

IP. w. Maer, a member of the
board of trustees of the A. & M.
College, returned to this city to-
dav from that institution, where
he has been since last Wednes-
day, attending the continuous
meeting of the board of trustees.
From Mr.. Maer many things are
Learned which 60 to show that the
press and public have not respec.
ted the wishes of the board since
their last meeting and that sus.
Ipension of judgment should be
| held in the college matter until
the investigation could be com.
lpleted.
| Mr.. Maer said that certain pa
pers in the state had bitterly as
sailed the college. the board of
trustees and the president upon
statements which were wholly
unjustified by the facts in the
case.
The board was in session from
8 in the morning until IL each
night, and their session on Sat-
urday night lasted well into the
Sabbath before their labors were
finally completed. Their work
included a searching and exhaus-
tive investigation into every de-
partment of the college and every
member of the faculty and teach
ing force upon the ground was
examined both as to his relations
with the president and as to the
friction within the various de-.
partments of the institution.
Sixty odd witnesses were exam
ined and many letters were read
from members of the faculty ab-
sent from the institution and en-
gagged In various works for the
summer.
THE WELLBORN CHARGES
The Wellborn charges against
President Hardy were referred
to by Mr.. Maer, who unhesita-
tlngly denounced the statement
that Gov. Noel had decided the
tie vote to settle the matter in
the absence of Trustee 9White
and thereby sustained Mr.. Hardy.
There was no vote taken on the
proposition to defer action until
/ the arrival of Mr.. White at all.
The matter was discussed inform
ally aud it was agreed without
action that the board shonld at
once act upon the matter.
| That the boards reason for not
awaiting the arrival of Mr.. White
might not be understood, it was
stated that it was agreed at the
last meeting of the board, the
meeting at which the charges
against Mr.. Hardy were heard
and tried. that if any member OF
the board found it impossible TO
attend the session at which the
conclusion was reached that he
would have the right to write
Ibis vote to the president Of the
board and it would be considered
and recorded and be connted jnst
as if he was present. Mr..
White vote was not present in
writing and the members OF the
board took the position that as
the people of the state were anx-
iously awaiting a decision in
this important matter, and as
there we're thirteen representa-
tive citizens on the board, inclu-
ding the governor, the state su-
