Parliamentary Suspension.

Sir Henry Lucy drops hint from
the Gross Benches" in the Observer
as to the suspension" Of members of
the house-and the vagueness of the
penalty Can it be true that members
get themselves named and suspended
on purpose to achieve a compulsory
holiday? Eight pounds a week will
make for modest comfort at Brighton
or Eastbourne. The member of par
lament is paid whether he is in the
house or at Margate or in the Clock
Tower. Budapest has a more drastic
way. If the member is suspended he
is fined 16 shillings a day. That
teaches him to behave. Now that we
pay our Representatives we might
make payment conditional on their
representing us in the proper place.

SCHOOL HEAD IS
DECLARED GUILTY
FINDING OF CITIZENS COMMIT
TEE Is UNANIMOUS AGAINST
HEETER.
IMPROPER ADVANCES SHOWN
Shown That Pittsburgh Superintends
ent Took Liberties With at Least
Three Women-To Get Fur
Their Hearings.

Pittsburgh, Pa, June 4.-Superin-
tendent of Schools S. l.. Heeter, into
whose morality a committee of citi-
zens went as an investigating commit
tee appointed by the board of educa-
tion, was adjudged guilty of making
improper advances and taking unwar-
ranted liberties" with three women,
in the report of the committee, made
to the board.
Recommend Immediate Hearing.
The board received the report and
ordered that a copy be placed in the
hands of the superintendent and that
he be suspended and that, under the
provisions of the school code, he be
accorded a hearing at once.
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 teachers
agency, the majority found that the
superintendent made IAN 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 a
claim for money alleged to be due for
services in securing Heeter his posi-
ton. In response to letters, Heeter
is said to have written one offering
to find positions under him for appli-
cants to the agency in payment of
the claim against him.
Minister'S Dissenting Vote.
The dissenting vote was that of
Rev. George R. Shelton, of the Sec
ond Presbyterian church.
With the report, the committee sub
mitted to the board of education a
sealed bulky package containing the
testimony taken in the committees in
vestigation. This the board declined
to make public.
Rumors associating Mr.. Heeter' s
name with charges brought by do
nestle, who was taken from his home
to a hospital in a serious condition.
began II weeks ago. When it was
thought the girl would die, the coro-
ner was summoned and Heeter was
implicated in the girls statement.
Heeter was indicted, arrested, tried
and found not guilty. He then return
ed to his duties, having been given
leave of absence during his trial.
Then followed demonstration or
strike of school children, and more
rumors associating Mr.. Heeters name
with other unpleasant cases other
than that of the domestic.
Committee Is Authorized.
In order to clear the situation, the
board of education, unable to get any
thing but anonymous charges, author
lied the appointment of committee
of citizens to take testimony, and in
vestigate the truth or falsity of these
charges This committee was w. H.
Stevenson, president of the Chamber
of Commerce; Rabbi j. Leonard Levy,
Bishop Cortlandt Whitehead of the
Protestant Episcopal diocese; A.
Loewel president of the Voters Civic
league; Valentine Barrie, a prominent
labor leader, and Rev. DR.. Shelton.
Bishop Regis Canevin of the Roman
Catholic diocese declined to serve on
the committee.
Heeter was formerly head of the
ST. Paul, Mimi, school system.

RELICS OF PREHISTORIC AGE.
covery of Elephants Bones
Near Wabasha.

Winona.-Professor J. M. Holzinger
OF the Winona normal school, gives
out the following interview concern
ing the remains of an elephant recent
ly found on the Budde farm near Wa
basha, the article being prepared after
a careful inspection of the skeleton.
Some confusion" he says at the
outset, has been caused by the fact
that about year ago an elephants
tooth was taken out of the gravel pit
in the railroad right-of-way, a short
distance above Wabasha station That
this tooth belonged to a travelling cir
Gus elephant of recent years is
evidenced by the fact that students
from Wabasha recalled that show
elephant had died about a dozen years
ago at their home town and had been
buried in the railroad right-of-way.
Now, it happens that, close upon
the heels of this incident, the brothers,
George and Frank Budde, reported to
DIR. Sanderson their finding elephant
remains on a farm of Frank, five
miles in the country out of Wabasha.
Frank Budde's farm is in a secluded
little valley tributary to Trout Creek
valley, which joins the main valley OF
the Zumbro and Murfrees.
Revealed by Erosion.
1.-THE valley farms nestled in the
side streams to the Zumbro in this vi.
cinity have in the last decade or two
been subject to tremendous erosive
action at the annual spring freshets.
Frank Budde's farm, nearly level, on
the most fertile soil, has within one
decade been Quilted by ditch nearly
twenty feet deep and a mile long, with
numerous side gullies. 1t was from
the nearly perpendicular wall of one
of these side gullies that year ago
Frank Budde found projecting piece
of tusk over six feet long and fully
seven inches in cross section. Frag.
ments of this piece are now in pos
session of George Budde, residing at
Kellogg fully substantiating the state.
ment of the large diameter of the
tusk. But the larger part of the
tusk has since crumbled into small
pieces.
''The Budde brothers have brought to
light two we'll preserved elephants
teeth, nearly perfect. These have a
grinding surface of 3.5 by inches,
their longest root measures 75 inches
They have also laid bare a part of
what appears to be the skull. To pre-
serve this will, however, be a difficult
task, for the bone has changed to a
soft, cheesy consistency. What other
parts of the skeleton are preserved un-
der the mantle of glacial stay, it is not
possible to foretell. 1t will require the
removing of severaS tons Of material
to lay it bare This seems to be a
less serious task, however, than the
preserving of the bones after they are
secured, unless they are in better
state of preservation than the skull.
State Should Excavate.
The conclusion reached is that
while it is difficult to foretell just
how much of the skeleton will be
found, the spirit of science demands
that some institution with sufficient
funds available should undertake the
task of unearthing this truly pre-his-
toric mammoth

which Colonel Roosevelt testified at
