Superintendent Of Schools
Scott Of Ellsworth
Loses Official Head at Hands
Of the School Board.
In Controversy Over School Gen.
sus Charged City With Fraud.

Ellsworth, Me-, March 3l.-The long,
standing school controversy was prac-
tically ended when the school board
turned down petition signed by
every student of the Ellsworth High
school for the reappointment of As
sistant Principal John NJ. Scott and
elected in his place Everett c. Higgins
of Clinton by vote of two to one.
The refusal of the board to re-elect
Mr.. Scott is in line with the action
taken some time ago, when they re-
quested him to retract charges of
fraud made by him against the city,
which he charged with attempting to
obtain money from the State on an
incorrect school census.
AS superintendent last year Mr..
Scott took the school census and filed
it with the State board. 1t showed a
falling off from the previous year and
reduced the school funds from the
State by more than $1,000
The school board ordered second
census taken by a former Superintend-
ent, John i. Royal, which showed more
pupils than the Scott census, and ac-
cordingly filed u bill asking for $3.50
additional from the State on the ground
of incorrect returns. The resolve had
gone through the Legislature and was
waiting for the Governors signature,
when Mr.. Scott wrote to the Governor
and various committee, claiming that
his census was correct, and accusing
the city of Ellsworth of having filed
fraudulent returns for the sake of OBJ
tanning more school money.
The result was that the resolve was
held up with but little prospect of
the city getting the $3.50. The school
board voted to demand of Scott that
he retract the charge of fraud or con-
slider himself dismissed at the end of
the current term. but Mr.. Scott reiter-
ated his charges.
The action of the board Monday in
electing Mr. SCOTS successor was in
accordance with this vote. At the
meeting of the city council Mayor
SimOnton expressed himself as salts
fed that the Royal census was correct
and that the city had lost $3.50 by the
action Of Mr.. Scott
The people are divided in sympathy.
Mr.. Scott has many friends who be-
lieve that he did what he thought was
right and files the school census ex-
actly as he thought it should be. 9th
ers believe that he went too far in
charging the city with fraud.

ed A representative of producers OF
crude oil appeared before the committee
and argued in favor of the imposition Of
duty. He took the position that the
countervailing duty contained in the
Payne bill would not affect the mporta-
lions of Oil from Mexico for the reason
that it is believed Mexico would repeal
its duties on petroleum. particularly as
that country is rapidly becoming one of
the principal exporters. Consideration of
these schedules was not concluded.
During the afternoon session of the
Senate committee on finance. number
of paper manufacturers appeared and adj
vocated retention of the Dingley rates
on print paper and wood pulp. Sometime

of the leaders of the movement for free
