Former Student TeStifies to See
ing Principal Drinking
Beer in Cafe
WOMAN UPHoLDS MISS CLARK
Attorney Asks That State Super
intendent OF Education
Quit the Inquiry
Associated Pressl

CHICO, Cal, July 22.-Following a
day of sensational charges made
against c. c. Van Liew, principal of
the Chico state normal school, Elmer
Ranker, a former student of the in
stitution, took the witness stand this
afternoon and swore that while he was
in a cafe here two years ago he saw
the instructor drink several glasses of
beer.
Attorneys for DR.. Van Lew point
out, however, that RanBer was dropped
from the rolls of the school for poor
scholarship and say they do not re-
gard his testimony seriusly.
The cross examination of Miss Ada
Clark, who charges DR.. Van Lew at
tempted to hug her, and the attack
by Attorney Yoell on State Superin-
tendent of Education Hyatt because
he Insisted on serving on the board of
trustees which is hearing the charges
against the instructor, after he had
expressed an opinion that Van LEV
was guilty, were features which kept
interest keen among spectators. The
inquiry was not completed today.
Yoell asked Hyatts retirement from
the board after presenting an affidavit
had said he could not help but believe
Miss Clark's story. Hyatt refused to
retire. saying he could be fair.
Il hope to God even-handed justice
will bring the same home to you
again. shouted the attorney
Later Hyatt said while he had made
up his mind regarding the guilt or in
nocence of DR.. Van Liew that he was
willing to be shown the accused man
was innocent. He also said he was
present at an interview between Gov
ernor Gillett and Miss Clark. When
Yoell asked Hyatt during the morning
session If he was present at this inter-
view Hyatt had testified he could not
remember. Although at a former hear
ing Miss Clark testified she had no
corroborative evidence Of her story she
said on the stand today that she was
met at the door of Van Liew's office
by Miss Mona Lindley. Miss Lindley
testified she met Miss Clark at the
door of Van Liews office and that she
saw her friend was greatly perturbed
over something.

mented by further telegraphic reports
from Lieut.. COX G. p. TOWnsley, of
the Coast Artillery corps and com
mandant Of the fort.
Conspicuous in the heroic group was
Lieut. Van Deusen, who suffered a
broken leg from the body of one OF
his men being hurled against him. He
was the timekeeper during the target
practice.
Lieutenant Van Deusen." said Col.
| Townsley in an official report sup
ported himself on the railing Of the
platform and directed that what as
sistance was offered to him to be given
to others in the vicinity, some of whom
were lying helpless with burning pow
der grains in their clothing"
Lieut.. Hawes was praised by the
commandant for having eXtinguished
with his bare hands burning material
that threatened to ignite the second
charge, which was on its way to the
emplacement."
Following the receipt of these re-
ports General Wood sent telegram to
Fortress Monroe expressing his SYM
pathy with the bereayed and suffering,
and his appreciation Of the excellent
conduct" of the officers and enlisted
men.
Until the Official report Oh tne III
vestigating board is received, the eX-
act cause of the accident Is expected
TO remain a question of conjecture.
Reports received at the department say
the board has completed taking tes-
timony and soon will submit its find
inEs.
Enough has been learned at the de-
partment to satisfy officers that for
some reason there was tension on the
lanyard. which resulted in an eXplo-
sion before the breech lock had been
rotated into place. 1t is believed that
for some reason the safety devices on
the gun, intended to make such an ac-
cident as this impossible, failed to
work.
Col. TownsIey has informed the de-
partment that the detachment manning
the gun which exploded was exception
ally well trained and expert.
