EDUCATION BOARD
APPROVE CLAIMS
ROUTINE BUSINESS TRANSACT
ED BY NEW BOARD. WILSON
DID NOT ATTEND.

The governor board of educa-
tion met and transacted business
Thursday afternoon in the office of
J.. E. Warren, Farmers National Bank
building, and without any interfer-
ence either from the ousted board
members or the courts. State Super
intendent Wilson was not present,
being out of the city.
Attorney General West stated
Thursday night that the purpose of
the meeting of the new board was
to approve emergency claims for
teachers salaries due and emergen-
cy acquisitions for supplies that were
nesessary. The attorney general sta
ted that both these claims and re-
quisitons had been approved by the
"old' board, but that because of a
doubt of their legality he had believed
best and the board members had
agreed with him to have them ap-
proved by the new board also.
The statement is made that the
Thursday board meeting does not by
any means confirm the new board
in security. 1t seems the opinion
of experts that it will take a direct
court opinion to settle the matter,
since the question really at issue is:
Whether the governor has right to
remove the appointive officers prior to
the expiration of their term?
In the meantime, however, the
teachers will get their salaries, and
necessary supplies will be bought

MISS MALECKA CONVICTED.
Warsaw, Nav 10

warsaw, May la
The trial Of Miss Malecka concluded to-
day. The Court found her Guilty and
condemned her to four years penal serv;-
tude. Her immediate arrest was ordered.
The Public Prosecutor, addressing the
Court, after the conclusion of the evidence,
declared that Miss Malecka's guilt had been
proved md asked fpr her condemnation in
accordance with the new Russinu criminal
law of 1903, which provides that any one be-
longing to a revolutionary organization aim
ing at the separation of parts of the country
from the Russian Empile shall be subject to
q mjnjount penalty of exile to Siberia for
life and utuatneuns penalty of 20 years
penal servitule.
NJ. Papleski, Miss Malecka's counsel, made
a most able and eloquent speech for the de-
fence, in which he admitted that his client
was acquainted while in London with q pro-
minent Polish Socialist named Filipovitch that
sue knew that he was q political exile, and that
she afterwards met him i'll Warsaw. If the
Court considered this acquaintance an Of
fence then Miss Malecka was guilty. But
nobody had the right to consider her guilty
for sympathizing with Socialistic ideas.
Counsel declared that the greatest nation in
the world was interested in the case, and on
that account be hoped shat She Court would
prove that Russia also accepted the princi-
pie tnat no one should be punished unless
legally proved guilty,
Miss Malecka heard the sentence calmly
and after thanking NJ. Papieski warmly for
his energetic Efforts for her defense, quietly
added, "WelI, [ cannot help it."
During both days of the trial the British
Vice'Consnl here, Mr.. R. E. Kiinens, was
present in Court Watching the proceedings.

at home our entire supply of sugar, which
last year amounted to 1851 ,391 tons, or
more than four times the amount of sugar

Furthermore, we have gathered hun
dreds of reports from farmers showing that
