MISS BRYLEY
IS DEPOSED


cultural school here today and l.. II. |
Jackson, who succeeded MIR Faulkner
as president of the school, is having
difficult time in controlling the stu |
dents who from the very start have
taken the side of Miss Dorothy Bryee |
in her ight against o. A. Brewer and
| lother members of the state board of
agriculture, When word was received
here that President Faulkner had been
dismissed it was thought that Miss
Brylee had come out successful in her
contest with the Brewer-Elliott fac
tion but recent developments havel
shown that Brewer is now absolutely
in control of the board of agriculture,
the members of which realize that
since the Campbell Russell bill went
through it is a case of all hanging to-
gether or else all hanging separately
| The success of Brewer was first
demonstrated when it became known
THAT Faulkner had been succeeded as
president of the Connors' school by
L. H. Jackson of Helena, Okla, and
that Jackson was the personal choice
of Mr.. Brewer In fact, they both re-
side in the same city.
Otto J. Brylee Of Chanute, Kans.,
and Senator Campbell Russell got
wise to the fact that the Brewer fac
tion had won over the opposition AMI
that Miss Brylee was about to be de-
lcapitated Mr.. Brylee went to Warner,
where he was rendered a public demon
Istration, and when he called at the
lschool at the close Of the first period
he was urged to deliver an address to
the students, and this, too, over the
lprotests Of Jackson. There came near
lbeing riot in the school room and
jackson and one of the male profess
sors had war Of words in the pres
lence of the entire class.
| When Mr. Bdylee, who is an attor-
lney, discovered that Brewer had Sc
lcured some alleged afTidavits in which
the moral reputation of his sister was
questioned, he went to Oklahoma City
and demanded that he be given per-
mission to see these affidavits. This
privilege was denied him, but he was
Iadvised that no action would be taken
on them at this time. Senator Russell
Il
discovered that the affidavits bore the
signatures of doctor and a dentist
who desire in Alfalfa county, and Mr..
Brylee, accompanied by his sister,
started for Alfalfa county last Thurs
Iday to see the parties whose sigma
: lures were on the affidavits. 1t was
necessary to drive twenty-five miles in
the country to see one of the men and
; then before he could be located war
, Irant charging him with perjury had to
be issued After being taken in Gus
, tody, the man denied ever making the
, Iaffidavit in which the name of Miss
Brylee was used. The next day it is
claimed he received telegram from
IOklahoma City, in which he was adj
Ivised that he could not be held for
Iperjury, and that Judge deGraffenried
had SO decided in Muskogee The man
then declined to make a counter affi-
davit, but said he was willing to go
lon record as saying that he had never
r signed the affidavit submitted to the
q Iboard.
:. The activity of Mr.. Bdylee was com
Imunicated to the board of agriculture
8 and while he was busy at Beaver
O President Jackson received word tC
n dismiss Miss Brylee
Word was received here two weeks
!. Iago that Brewer and his faction hat
! Won over majority of the members
n Iof the board and that they were {
unit in demanding Miss Brylee's resig
Ination, and when Mr.. Brylee dis
lowered that his sisters resignation
: had been demanded, he returned Il
Warner.
When school met Monday Mis-
y Brylee went to the school and looked
after her classes as usual, although
! her successor was on the job Mr.
2 lBlylee was called to Erie, Kans., Mon
n day night and Tuesday morning wheT

2, to permit Miss Brylee to teach. Miss
Brylee demanded that she be pro
sented with written order of dis
II missal and President Jackson advised
