ent of Chicago But Case Will
be Taken to Courts For DeCi-
sion.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2A-Mrs. Ella
SUPPLEMENTARY of the Chicago public
schools Tuesday after a stormy ses-
sion of the board OF education. Seven
members refused to vote on the
grounds that the board had no
power to reconsider the election of

tendent, under Mrs. Young, who had
been elected her successor. Conten-
ton also was made tina the tour new

ing ShOop and replacing Mrs. Young
will at Once be challenged in court, it
was announced by the opposition.
Mrs. Young's failure To be re-elect-
ed two weeks agO by the chOOl board
aroused a storm of popular indigna-
ton. Mass meetings were held and
the school board and the mayors
office were beseiged by delegations
which demanded that ShOop resign
and make way for Mrs. Young to
come back.
The wOmen's organizations, pO-
IticaI and civic, were solidly behind
the depOsed superintendent.
Mayor Harrison asserted that
members Of the school board ap-
pointed by him had voted against
Mrs. Young in an 'u~nderhand way"
He summary accepted the ~resigna-
tions Of Jour whose designations had
been placed in his hands when they
took office. Refusal OF the four TO
abide by this action was the storm
center Of the fight in the board
meeting Tuesday.
The fOur were in their seats before
the meeting convened II refused to
leave. The new men were forced to
find chairs elsewhere. Men and
women damned into every available
corner Of the board room. a squad
Of policemen summoned TO keep or
der remained in the corridor and did
not interfere. although during the
latter part of the meeting when the
Young faction got TO working
smoothly together, the uproar was
continuous.
