Mobile June 1.--(srscial.) )--The friends of pr. J. 4. B. Lovett. Presi- dent of the State Normal School at Daphne, are not satisfied with the treatment accorded him by the school trustees at their meeting Saturday.
 pr. Lovett it seems. was charged with serious indiscretions or improprieties against one or more of his young ,wo- men pupils who are conceded by all 70 be innocent of any. wrong. pr. Lovett demanded an investigation and assert ed that he would establish his inno- cence when given the opportunity. He claims that he was given no such op- portunity; that the action of the board was paramount to a conviction with out hearing; that the board received evidence against him and refused to hear his defense. ws
 His friends declare that if the board refuses to accord a hearing they will appoint local committee to go into the matter. They say such a move will show that there existed plot to remove Dr. Lovett from the head of the school and that at least one of the trustees was concerned in that plot.
