In answer TO the ''Grieved One" an
article in Fridays Herald. we the col
ored patrons who have children in
Douglas school wish to say that we
are not grieved at the action Of the
school board in the appointment OF
Mrs. Coleman. Rather, we are happy
because she is qualified in every way.
We believe 1t because we know her
work. We also believe that the school
board would not appoint her If she
were not.
We are happy for another reason:
her life and conduct are above re-
proach; thing that we need for our
girls. Her associations are such that
will properly influence our girls.
AS to married women in the Doug
las school, every principal who has
had charge Of the school. has been
assisted by his wife. Mrs. Coleman is
competent. Why make difference
In Prof Coleman's case? He has al
ways treated us right, and we are

lowing conference between the at
torneys for the government, held
here this morning, It was decided
that the first witness would be 0rtie
Il. McManigal. He was taken from
the Jail by Detective McLaren, who
has been his custodian ever since his
arrest, and direct to the federal build
ing, where he went before the grand
jury at once.
McManigal was to tell the entire
story OF his alleged operations, and
also what both James b. and John j.
Mcnamara had told him OF the In
ner workings of the dynamite con-
spiracy. His story was to lay the
groundwork for the entire structure
to be built up by the government
which was finally expected to result
in wholesale Indictments,
So far as the McNamaras were con
cerned the government Is in decld-
ed quandary. Despite the fact that
the testimony OF neither man would
be competent at trial, Lawler want
ed to get them to tell their story, or
at least to tell their side OF McMa1-
lgal's allegations. Because of tn
defiant attitude, however, the govern
ment has not fully decided whether
to swear them and put them on rec
ord as refusing to talk or to dlcker
with them. Until that point is de-
cided no definite action will be taken
in their cases by Lawler.
SO far as McManigal is concerned
he will occupy for some time the po-

But Los Angeles county will retain
Its claims on him, and his punish

punishment will be Is the business OF

WOMEN VOTE
ON PROHIBITION

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec, THE
first real test of women's attitude to-
ward prohibition came in the prohi-
bition election here, when the
amendment was defeated by over
three to one. The latest available
figures give prohibition 29,9lS and
against S3,111.
The fight was waged for and
against the adoption of an ordinance
drafted by Attorney Newton Newly,
executive commissioner Of the Good
Government League This is the first
prohibition election in which the wo-
men of California have voted since
they were granted the franchise The
women's political organizations
formed to work for suffrage and az
forwards to continue to educate the
newly enfranchised women in their
duties, declared strongly against the
prohibition ordinance, and worked
against it.
