WHITTIER TO HOLD JOB
Weeks Gives Board Of Control Ruling
Today Which Assures Red Wing
- Man Of Position. Ii
ACCEPTED AS THE FINAL VIEW

st. Paul, Oct. 11.-(Daily Pioneer
Special Wire Service) Assistant At
torney General Louis Weeks today
gave his ruling to the Board of Con-
troll in the Whittier case, and it is
taken to mean that the Red Wing
training school superintendent will
retain his position. ... y
This information is furnished the
board upon it's request and the board
has said it would be guided by it..
The ruling starts out by saying that
"habitual corporal punishment can
not be administered, but the remain
der of the ruling shows that it is
we'll within the province of the board
to continue Mr.. Whittier in office.
The decision, in effect, is as fol-
lows:
eff Mr.. Whittier habitually in
aicted corporal punishment he is re-
sponsible and can be dismissed al
though he did it without malice.
The statutes limit persons to inflict
corporal punishment and Mr.. Whit
tiers position in regard to inmates of
the school is that of parent or guar
dian.
eff his incompetency in the dis
charge of his duties in Indictment Of
punishment can be established he
should be dismissed, but it is per-
mitted, unless proven, where no last
ing physical injuries result, and the
punishment is reasonable and mod
crate
"Age, sex, strength, mental condi-
ton and personal attributes of per-
sons punished should be taken into
consideration. No designated num-
Der of blows can be said to consti-
tute cruel punishment.
"Mr Whittier can not be removed
if in the boards judgment a lesser
punishment would have been sufi-
cient providing no malice was shown
and no permanent injury resulted.
:'The defendant is responsible for
the acts of his subordinates commit
ted with his knowledge It is his
duty to discharge brutal assistants.

the number of children, the weight
of the farmer and other data which
is to be used in awarding the prizes.
DR.. J. A. Mcclure has been chosen
as auctfoneer and The viii arrange
the articles offered for sale, keeping
each variety, so far as is possible, by
itself. Thus all vegetables will be
grouped, etc.

what will be offered for sale, but
those in charge have been notified
that in the line of livestock there will
be at least three cows.
Harry Koors will have charge of
inspecting all produce offered for
sale, grading it as to market price.

be warned that they would be re-
quired to register in order to be elig-

Nearly every business house in
town has announced special trade re-
auctions in honor of the day, and
thriving business is expected.

the general sale of miscellaneous pro-
ducts will take place on the platform
erected for that purpose.
A auction will start promptly at
10 a. m. and at this hour those pres
ent will have the opportunity of Sc
lecting the most desirable things
which are brought in from the coun-
try. this being especially true of the
garden products.

mas, who was found guilty Of an at
tempt at arson.
1T was like this" continued the
juryman when we retired to con-
slider the verdict, the first thing we
did was to elect Mr.. Gould foreman.
That was quickly done and then we
took a ballot as to the guilt or inno-
cence of the defendant
One Voted for Acquittal.
1.-THE first ballot stood / 1 for con-
viction to one for acquittal The
man who voted for acquittal imme
diately spoke up and said that while
he had indicated that he thought DR..
Dumas was innocent, that wasn't
just what he meant; that what he
wanted was to have the jury recon-
mend to the court mercy for the
prisoner.
"We argued the matter briefly with
him and finally decided to take a
vote on the question. as to whether
we should not recommend that he
be shown leniency. On this ballot
there were three jurymen who vot-
ed in favor of recommending mercy
and nine who voted against it.
Agree Upon Final Verdict.
Then we took another ballot on
conviction or acquittal and every
juryman voted for conviction. All
that happened in few minutes time
and as we were afraid we might be
accused of rushing the thing through
and not giving the case due consid-
Grafton, we held up the verdict for
1ully half an hour. Then we sent
out word that we were ready, and
you know the rest.
AT no time was there any question
in the minds of the jury as to the
preponderance of evidence against
DR., Dumas-that is after the state
had rested The defense offered no
witnesses, except to say that the de-
PENDANT enjoyed a good reputation.
That was all right as far as it went,
but it didn't 20 far with the jury.
Closing Talks Counted Little.
LAS to the talks of the attorneys in
summing up the case, it isn't for me
to make comments, but nevertheless
it is a fact that what they had to
say had little influence with the jury.
We were guided by the evidence and
not attorneys talk"
Attorneys for the state were we'll
satisfied with the quick work of the
jury, but are reticent pending the
decision of the supreme court. AS
sistant Attorney General James is still
here and today appeared before the
grand jury.
Other Indictments Likely.
This is taken to indicate that there
are to be other developments and
that there may be still other indict-
ments returned, probably against per-
sons not heretofore directly men
toned in the arson cases. 1t is un-
derstood the burning of a building at
Blackjack is involved in the present
move.
Freeman P. Lane, the Minneapolis
attorney who assisted with the de-
Tense. left last night for his home in
Minneapolis. Mr.. Lanes closing re.
marks to the jury continue to fur
nish material for much discussion.
Doctor Goes Home. -.
Following the return of the verdict
Monday evening, DR.. Dumas returned
to Cass Lake and will continue his
work as practicing physician and
mayor of the town, pending the de.
eisien of the supreme court, which
probably will not be known for many
weeks: 49,,
The father of DR.. Dumas, who was
here during the trial, has returned
to Minneapolis.
