to the front in the effort at bedeyil-

II seems that what happens in the
fair grounds in Muskogee is no local
affair when the possibilities of playing
politics of the cheap john sort is APP
parent. Once upon time this paper
appealed to the Honorable West for
assistance, when the local authorities
refused to act. The Honorable West
refused his aid, which required merely
the signing of his name to a petition,
on the grounds that the mater was
purely a local one. Thus this paper
and the people were denied day in
court. The politics in the affair was
with the other side and so the state
in the person of its attorney general
refused to interfere no matter what
the loss might be to the taxpayer.

FIND SCHOOL HEAD
GUILTY OF CHARGES
Probers Make Report on
immortality Accusations.
Pittsburgh's Board of Education Or
ders That Superintendent Heeter
BE Suspended and That He Be
Giving Hearing.

Pittsburgh, a.-Superintendent of
Schools S. L. Heeter, into whose
morality committee of citizens went
as an investigating body, appointed
by the board of education, was ad-
judged guilty of making improper
advances and taking unwarranted lib
critics" with three women in the report
of the committee made to the board.
The board received the report and
ordered that copy be placed in the
hands of the superintendent, that he
be suspended and that, under provi-
sions of the school code, he be ac-
corded hearing.
The finding of the committee was
unanimous on the immortality charges,
but in the matter of an alleged re-
fusal to pay the bill of a teachers
agency, the majority found that the
superintendent made an improper
and dishonest proposition to use his
official position in order to compro-
mise a claim made against him indi-
vidually."
The latter case, known as the Brew
er letter, was brought about by
claim for monies alleged to be due
for services in getting Heeter his po-
sition. In response to letters, Heeter
is said to have written offering to
find under his jurisdiction positions
for applicants to the agency in pay
ment of the claim against him. The
dissenting vote was that of the Rev.
George r. Shelton of the Second
Presbyterian church.
With the report the committee sub
mitted to the board of education a
sealed bulky package containing the
testimony taken in the investigation.
This the board declined to make pub
lie.
Rumors associating Mr.. Heeters
name with charges brought by do
mestic, who was taken from his home
to a hospital in serious condition,
began IL weeks ago. When it was
thought the girl would die, the coron-
er was summoned and Heeter was i'm
plicated in the girls statement.
Heeter was indicted, arrested, tried
and found not guilty. He then re-
turned to his duties, having been
given leave of absence in the course
of his trial. Then followed a demon
stration or strike of school children
and rumors associating Heeter's name
with other unpleasant cases than that
of the domestic.
In order to clear the situation, the
board of education, unable to get any,
thing but anonymous charges, author
lied the appointment Of a committee
of citizens to take testimony, and in
vestigate the truth or falsity of these
charges.
This committee was composed of

chamber of commerce, Rabbi ]. Leon

mile Memorial Day race here. His
time was hours, 81 minutes, 4S.45
seconds, an average of 1853 miles an
hour. His rewards were internation-
al honors, cash prizes worth $4,000,
including the $4,000 cash prize IF,
fered by the management of the
speedway for the winner of the race,
kiss from dirt covered mechani-
clan and a shower of champagne
made of grapes that grew in the coun-
try whence he came.
Wishart Second In Contest.
Spencer Wishart, who drove a Mer-
Ger car into second place at the finish
of the race, was given kissless and
champagneless reception at the Mer-
Ger pits, but his two hands, worn out
by the steady work at the wheel of
his car, were shaken wildly by hun
dred admirers. He was lifted upon
the shoulders of his pit men and
cheered with the enthusiasm equal to
that accorded to the Frenchman. He
was given a check for $4,000.
One of the most remarkable bits of
race car driving was staged by
Charles Merz in his Stutz car when
he drove three and one-half miles,
more than one lap around the course,
with his car ablaZe beneath the en-
gine and his mechanician and himself
hardly able to keep their seats on ac'
count of the flames that were licking
at their legs. Merz was watched on
his lap by the breathless thousands
who feared his car would explode or
that he would be driven from the
wheel by the flames. Displaying al
most unbelievable nerve, he waved
acknowledgment of the green flag
| flashed over him by Starter Root as
he crossed the finish line for the next
to the last time and settled into the
hot seat of his car for the final lap.
Races With Car Ablaze.
Spectators remaining in the grand
stands and bleachers were on theil
feet straining for a glimpse of the
intrepid young indianapolis driver as
| rounded the ldSL curve anu SldTleI
down the final stretch with tongues
of flames squirting from under the
hood of his car. He could not have
made another lap. His car would
have gone to pieces in another mile
But it remained intact and continued
to do his bidding until it limpet
across the finish line and Merz wa!
$4,000 wealthier. Pit men had ex
tinguishers ready and extinguishec
the fire that soon would have de
stroyed the car. Charles Merz's faith
er is an indianapolis policeman will
record for bravery to his credit.
Another FrenchEan, Delbert Guyot

beam, drove consistent race t.
fourth place and prize of $3,500. HI
was more of a favorite with tn,
crowd than GouX because of numer
Gus brushes he had with other car
in front of the main grandstand
where he showed a wonderful contro
of his mount and left a trail of smok
for the other cars to travel in.
