CHARGES FILED AGAINST
FORMER superintendent

Oklahoma City, Aug. Sit develop
ed that charges have been filed with
the state board Of education against
Dr. Frank p Davis, former superin-
tendent of the State School for Feeble
Minded at Enid, alleging improper con-
duct. State Superintendent r. II. Will
son stated yesterday that the board
took no action on the charges, as they
were made by discharged employees
and were not, in his opinion. supported
by proper evidence. He said that the
resignation of Davis, having been re-
quested by the board, prevented the
filing of the accusations. Mr.. Wilson
added that the action Of the board in
requesting the resignation had moth
ing to do with the accusations.
The charges are in the form of aft
davits by Mrs. Florence Davis, super
visor of the school, now living in this
city, and Miss Malta M. Beecher of
Weatherford, formerly teacher in the
institution. Miss Beecher charges that
Dr. Davis made improper proposals to
her, and that he attempted to draw
her upon his lap. DR.. Davis made
strong denial of the charges, declaring
that they were part of a political
plot against him and asked the board
for an investigation.
State Superintendent Wilson stated
that the board is not inclined to con-
slider the charges seriously and that
an investigation is not believed neces-
sary. DR.. Davis formerly was secre-
tary of the state board of medical ex-
aminers.

Cumberland County Cases Will Be
In Order, Thursday.

The entire day in the law court
Wednesday, was devoted to the hear
ing of arguments in Androscoggin and
Aroostook county cases. Among the
lawyers in attendance during the day
We're: Harry l.. Weber, Auburn;
George d. Bisbee, Rumford; Seth M.
Carter, Auburn; Hon. Frank. A. Mo-
rey, Lewiston; w. b. Skelton,A Lewis
ton; James a. Pulsifer, Auburn; Coun-
ty Attorney Perley G. Brown, Pressure
Isle; Bernard Archibald, Houlton;
Peter Charles Keegan, Van Buren, and
Charles p. Barnes, Houlton
The first case TO be argued was that
of ettngill-Andrews Co, VS.. Range
ley Light and Power Co., and Charles
G Benson tr. This is a companion
case to that of Keer VS.. RangeleY
Light and Power CO., and the briefs
submitted included the contentious in
volved in both cases. The principal
defendant in each suit is the. same
and is corporation organized Tor the
purpose of distributing light and pow
er in Rangeey and vicinity. The COM
pany in the summer of 1909, in order
to procure the necessary funGS Tor re-
building it's plant, voted To issue bonds
to the amount of $4,000 10 be secured
by mortgage of it's plant The bonds
and mortgage We're executed and the
mortgage recorded. The question at
| issue involves the acts of the alleged
| trustee Charles c. Benson who is also
named as defendant and who was
| trea surer of the Light and Power Co,
and carried on the business of broker
| and banker at Lewiston under the
| firm name of Charles G. Benson and
| co. The directors passed vote au-
thorizing the trustees to dispose of the
| bonds selling them at 80. The vote
further provided that the bonds should
| he disposed of to Charles G. Benson
| and CO., provided the firm took then
| at that rate. Charles c. Benson ant
| Co, took II of these bonds paying fol
them at 80, and, it is claimed by tht
plaintiff, agreed to purchase the bal
ance of the issue 1000. Only $1l, 900
of the bond issue was paid for and i
is denied by the defendants that the
| treasurer of the corporation can bt
| charged as trustee for property of the
corporation, which he has in hand by
vote of the officers. The case was ar
gued by Harry L. Weber for the
plaintiff and Seth M. Carter for tho
, defendant.

URGE EARLY GIFT BUYING.
Roosevelt and Riis Among the Signers
of Appeal.

Carrying on the campaign for early
Christmas shopping, which the Ma
tional Consumers League has waged
for six years. a letter has been sent
out TO over 1000 department stores
throughout the whole country, and to
newspapers in nearly 400 cities urging
early shopping-early in the month
and early in the day Moreover, min
listers in every state have been asked
to bring the matter strongly to the at
tention of all in their congregations.
Among the signers of the letter are:
Theodore Roosevelt. Jacob Riis, and
Edward Box
Every year" says the communica-
ton sent to department stores, the
celebration of Christmas grows more
elaborate. More presents are bought
and the crowds are greater. For two
weeks before Christmas department
stores do a capacity business" and
the pressure of the merchant is inten-
sified at every point. Public opinion
more and more disapproves long hours
and late work, particularly for young
women, girls, and children. Yet I'M
less vigorous steps are taken, many

fer their purchases until the last mo-
ment at the cost of unnecessary strain
upon sales-people and delivery forces
Faced by this condition, many stores
in order to handle the business have
often reluctantly heightened the hours
of labor for their hands, Authentic
records from the lives of clerks, deliv-
| cry boys, and wagon drivers show
that as a result the season of Christ
mas festival and of charity for the
lame, the halt, and the blind reduces
to illness apd exhaustion the young
and faithful who serve us, seen and

THE EASIEST WAY
TO REMOVE FuZZ
CBoudoir Secrets)

No longer is it necessary for women
troubled With hair on face or arms to
submit to the torturous electric needle,
or experiment. with injurious prepara-
uons, for it has been found that ordi-
nary powdered delatone, mixed with
water to form a paste and spread on
the hairy surface. will remove every
trace of hair or fuzz.
After leaving the delatone ON for two
or three minutes, it should be rubbed
off and the skin washed. Not only
will the hairs vanish but the skin will
be left white, soft and firm. Even
though druggists charge a dollar for
an original one-ounee package, no one
will hesitate an instant to get it, as il
is unfailing.
