SUPT. MILLS
EXPL AIN s
CONT TRACT
CLAIMS 1T WAS misunderstood
BY SOME TEACHERS.
He States That Almost All Teachers
Have Returned Thcir Signed
Contracts.

The rumor which startled the city
yesterday afternoon to the effect that
the teachers of the local schools were
about to institute strike, proves TO
be of less import than was at first
supposed. There Is, 1t IS true. some
dissatisfaction among a very few of
the teachers. but it Is believed that
the whole list recently appointed by
the board of education will soon for
ward their signed contracts.
The trouble, it is claimed, was In
stigated by a young lady who has
been teaching in the public schools,
but who was not offered contract for
the coming school year.
Two sections Of the conditions OF
the contract were misinterpreted by

some of the teachers. They claimed
that too much authority was vested
in the superintendent, and demanded
the privilege of studying in their own

The other Objectionable paragraph
of the conditions declared it obliga-

annual convention of the Utah State

by the superintendent of schools.
Mr Mills claims that he has always
excused his teachers from the neces-
sity of making this trip, when, either
for financial reasons or on account OF
poor health. the teacher was unable
to attend.

teachers, has always been left to the

per cent of the new appointees have

ARM OF LAW is STRETCHED
HIGH AND LOW.
Endeavorine to Expose Those Respon.
sble for the Most Gigantic lr-
reeularities.

Toxic, Monday. April 19,-Day by
day. the scope Of what is now known
as the sugar scandal Increases, and
the arm of the law is be lg stretched
into places high and low to arrest and
expose those responsible for the most
gigantic Irregularities ever unearth-
ed in Japan. Aroused by public sen
timent, authorities are leaving no
stone unturned and show no mercy In
the exposure. One member Of parla-
ment after another is placed under
arrest. The constitutional party
which carried everything before it in
the last session of the diet, has been
the chief sufferer, and will find IL ex-
tremely difficult to rally under the
blow.
There have been arrested so far
twenty members of parliament and SIX
directors OF the company A deter,
mined effort has been made for the
last two sessions of the diet to ma
tionaIize the sugar company-that Is

other things dividends were not paid

The whole thing, however. has

condition in Japan, where hitherto the
loose conduct of business, In which
the public was invited to invest was
not considered as much a reproach up
on regulations OF men of high stand
ing as Is the case in western coum-
tries. This last development has in
volved so many foreigners as well as
Japanese, that the widespread public
ity and the outcry of the foreigner is

Enqland's Day.

April % is 4 memorable day In Eng
lish history. To begin with, it is the
day dedicated TO the patron saint Of
England, St. George. 1t was through
the crusaders that st. George was
thus selected. He was born in Cappa-
docio, and later his bravery against
the Romans became a military tradi-
ton: hence the regard for him on the
part of the English warriors who en-
gagged in the crusades. On this day
also Shakespeare is reported to have
been born and died. Later, in 1861,
Charles II. was crowned king on April
%. Lastly, Wordsworth died on tbs
momentous day.-London Standard.
