was removed from Office about March
10, 1911, although he would be re-
tired from such office Ky expiration
of his term in about three weeks.
Proceeding further, the former col
lector of the Cleveland port sets
forth that it was intended "wickedly
and maliciously" to injure and dis
credit him in public estimation, ito
bring upon him public distrust, and to
expose him to hatred, public de-
rision, and contempt for the malicious
purpose of degrading him and de-

TEACHERS PENSION PASSED
Retirement Fund Bill Wins in Senate
After Long Oebate-Assemby Re-
garded Favorable to Measure

Madison.-The senate has passed
the Hoyt teachers pension bill by a.
vote of Is to 3. This action came
after a long debate. The argument
of those in favor of the bill was that
1T would promote the welfare of the
public schools, and insure an indie
pendence to those who spent their
lives in teaching.
The opponents argued that the bin
would injure the rural schools, i'm
pose an unjust burden on poorly paid
teachers and create a civil pension
system which was highly undesirable.
The bill provides for the retire
ment of teachers after service of
twenty-five years or more on a. pen.
sion not exceeding $3.50 annually.
The pension fund is to be raised by
a state appropriation and an annual.
assessment on teachers.
Little opposition to the bill is
looked for in the assembly
