JORDAN DISTRICT
SCHOOL FIGHT On
Bitter Controversy Over Super
intendenCy Being Waged
in the Courts.

The fight for the superintendency OF
the Jordan district schools was on all
of yesterday afternoon before Judge
NJ l. Ritchie OF the district court In
the school board to recognize his APP
pointment The court hearing is the
result OF q fight among the members
of the school board aud many or the
voters in the Jordan district. John
Hansen. Jr.. is now superintendent Of
the district--at least, he has been act
ing as superintendent since July 10,
1909. though Smith was appointed on
the board on June n. last year;
feeling which has been aroused In the
Jordan district over the appointment
OF superintendent and other matters
is that ]. r Rawline was recently in
dicted by the federal grand jury on
charge OF perjury.
The action yesterday was continued
until Monday, and may go over until
later in the week: The whole matter
hinges on the validity of the claim OF
Rawlins that he was duly elected to
the board to teke the place OF Heber
A. Smith. When Smith was member
OF the board, with c. c. Grape, {. l..
Countryman, John Dunn and George
G. Gardner. John W. Smith was re-
appointed to the position of superin-
tendent of the Jordan district schools.
This was on June p, 1903. But on
July Is Rawlins came in as mem
Der Of the board, and this resulted in
a court action by Heller A. Smith to
retain his seat and protesting the cleo
tion of Rawlins. But when Rawlins
took the reins the appointment Of
Smith was reseinded, and John Hansen,
Jr., was named as superintendent of
the district, taking effect on July 10.
Since that time Hansen has been act
ing as superintendent, though the ap-
pOintment of Smith was for two years.
Heber A. Smith was the only wit
ness examined yesterday, when the case
was continued until the first open
date on the calendar. He declared he
was still an active member of the board
when Rawlins claimed the seat and
ousted John w Smith.
The action now before the court is
brought by John W. Smith TO force the
present school board TO appoint him
superintendent 1t will likely last for
several days. when finally given an
interrupted hearing, and much inter
esting Information is expected to de-
velop in the testimony of the rival fac
tiOns.

Explanation Offered.

Under the Illinois law, when the
Western Indiana and two smaller roads
were consolidated some thirty years
ago. the consolidation, according to the
opinion of some lawyers, including Mr..
Travous, contained a technical flaw,
explained Mr.. DelanO. Two roads
might consolidate, but not three. TWO
roads might consolidate, and then take
in a third, however. The Western In
diana was formed in the former man
ner. Mr.. Travous pointed out the Flaw,
or alleged flaw, in the consolidation.
1t was plain that If some Inscriptions
lawyer discovered the situation, innO-
cent in itself. he might make trouble,
particularly for innocent bOndholders.
Hence we wished for the valida-
ton act and we wanted it in a quiet
way to avoid perturbing innocent hold
ers who might eXaggeFate technical
ity into something momentous.
1.-THE only opposition which developed
to our bill no. 777) for valuation was
in connection with the story which

Mr. B. Thomas. then president of the
road, personally stated to Morton ID.

no money whatever was being used,
or would be used TO secure the passage
of the act.

GaynOr's Statement.
For the mayor, Robert Adamson, his
private secretary, gave out the follow
ing statement, made before the mayor
had seen Mr.. Hearst'S statement:
The mayor is not required to sign
warrants at all They are made out
and signed by the comptroller, and
then by the chief clerk of the mayors
office, under authority Of the charter.
over $4,000 such drsfts are signed in
year, some days over LOO The may
or has never signed one. The (Coha-
LAM claim was for legal services in
the franchise tax suits. Several law
yers were paid, including Judge Al
ton b. Parker. The claim was audited
and filed last December. after much ev-
tdence was taken, and thereby became
a total claim against the city. Mayor
Gaynor never had anything to do with
it,"
One BY Comptroller.
Comptroller Prendergast gave out a
statement in advance of Mr.. Hearst's,
substantiating some OF Mr.. Hearst's
statements, in substance as follows:
Il told Mr.. MatthewsOn (the deputy
eomptrolier) that 1 had come to the
conclusion that the warrants having
passed through the comptroller's of
lice, II would not be a proper thing for
me TO recall it, thus rejecting upon
the action of my predecessor. unless
there was some excellent reason why
the warrant should not have been paid;
that the mere fact that the warrant
was in favor of Mr.. Cohalan did not
constitute any such reason, but that
mad made up my mind to talk to the
mayor about il.
About 1 o'clock on that day New
Years day. l called upon the mayor
and told the mayor just what / have
described above. He asked me Yyhv
Mayor Mcclellan had taken the action
he did. 1 told him 1 did not know the
reasons. He then asked me what the
warrant represented, and l told him
my understanding was that 1t was for
services in connection with disputed
franchise tax cases
He then said to me: We must he
very careful about paying large bills
to lawyers in these matters! The
mayor then said: If you had not told
would have gone right through in the
ordinary course
Il said: I presume that is what
would have happened
He then replied: 1t is very nice of
you TO speak of this 10 me. What
ought we to do about itg
L toId MIN that II he wanted to re-
turn the warrant to the comptrolIers
office would be very glad to make a
report to him uPOn it,"
Clarence J. Shearn. counsel for the
Hearst interests, called at the comp
trollers office today and his visit
raised the instant supposition that Ie-
gal action might result from Mayor
Gaynor,s address. The district attor-
ney said tonight, however, that no steps
looking toward such action had vet
been taken through his office.
