LAWYERS TO TAKE
HAND IN INVESTIGATION
This Is New Rule as to Probing
Charges Against Superin-
tendent Thomas.
Special 10 The Tribune.

OGDEN, June 17.--From a mere investi-
cation of the charges made against Su-
perintendent II. II, Thomas OF the State
Industrial school by the committee ap-
pointed by Governor Spry for this pur-
pose, the inquiry will In all probability
be turned into a legal battle, with both
sides represented by legal talent,
This was decided by the investigating
committee this morning, when witnesses
and others gathered at the industrial
school. pursuant to the order OF adjourn
ment passed last Monday afternoon. In
stead OF continuing the investiga ton as 1t
was begun, Harry Joseph, chairman Of
the Investigating committee. announced
that the committee had decided to allow
Superintendent Thomas 10 provide himself
with an attorney. In this the committee
reversed Itself.
When the investigation first began the
citizens committee presenting the
charges against the superintendent asked
permission Of the investigating commit
tee 10 employ counsel to present the
charges In q proper manner, This was re-
fused by the committee. Chairman Jo

continued until tomorrow morning, when
Mr., Thomas will appear with his attor

The citizens committee has also ar
ranged TO have an attorney represent
them. The investigation from this time
on. however long II may last, promises
to be acrimonious. Many affidavits have
been obtained from former employees of
the school,, alleging n revolving condition
OF affairs, which arc said to have pre-
vailed during their employment. In ad-
dition, a number of witnesses have been
summoned by each side and the introduc-
