COMMITTEE HEARS
RODMAN LETTER
Teacher Mother Advocate
Notified of Charges
Against Her.
ADMITS FAMOUS NOTE
ON MOTHER-BAITING
Case First Big One Education
Board Puts in Hands of
Corporation Counsel.

Miss Henrietta Rodman was informed
yesterday that the charges Of insuDor-
dination ana gross misconduct made
against her by the Board of Education
because Of her mOther-baitlng letter
had Deen turned over TO the Corpora
ton Counsel. who will act as attorney
for the board
With her lawyer, Mrs. Jean Norris,
Miss kodman appeared at the meeting
Of the high school committee yester-
day afternoon at the board Offices.
Arthur Somers, chairman of the com
mittee, stated 10 Miss Rodman that the
charges had been preferred, and he
read aloud the now famous mother
batting letter to T. p A. Miss Rodman
admitted writing the letter, but not the
heading, Sporting Note" which was of
f. J. As invention.
Mr.. SOmers said that he had not a
copy Of the charges, but that they
would be sent 10 her lawyer. Miss
Rodman was tnen dismissed from the
committee room.
The case vii! be put in the hands OF
Assistant Corporation Counsel c. f.
Mcintyre, according 20 a new arrange
ment by which the Corporation Counsel
acts AS attorney for the Board of Edu
cation. Miss Rodman's case is the first
Of large public interest to be tried
under this new plan.
Miss Rodman will have ten days in
which TO file her reply. The case will
then be argued before the High School
committee By Mrs. Norris and Mr.. Nc
lntyre.
The high school committee will
make its decision in the form Of re-
port TO the whole board. which is at
liberty 10 reject the report, if It
wishes. Il has been in the habit OF
doing this Of late as the high school
committee is as much on the side OF
the teacher-mother as the board as a
whole is opposed 10 her.
The issue in this case, however, Is
not the right of teacher to be a
mother, but the right of q teacher to
employ the time-honored form OF
satire" to quote Miss Rodman. SO no
predictions can be made as TO the out
come.
Mrs. Norris said after the meeting
yesterday that the defence in the case
would be largely along the lines Of
the free speech argument She had
lot considered, she said, showing that
there was any special animoslty
against Miss Rodman or that the case
bordered on persecution, as has been
charged By some Of the teachers ad-
vocates.
Following out her free speech inves-
tIpation, Miss Rodman yesterday dis.
closed a section from the report or
DR. Paul Hanus, Of Harvard, who made
the special investigation Of the New
York City public school system a short
time ago.
"Dr. Hanus pointed out the need Of
greater feasibility both in action AM
in speech on the part Of the teaehlnl
force" said Miss Rodman. The
Board Of Education itself, too, adyo-
Gates more initiative on the part of
the teachers, and the democratic
ideal has been repeatedly enunciated
AS a cardinal doctrine of the so-called
progressiyes on the board

GERMAN RIGHT WEAK

THEM THROUGH NORTHERN
PART OF FRANCE.
KAISER'S MEN SURROUNDED
Officially stated That Peronne Is Re-
taken-AlI Automobiles to Be Had
Rushed Into Service to Pursue
Germans in France.

London, Sept. SO.-A Paris dispatch
to the Exchange Telegraph company
says:
1T is stated here tonight (Tuesday)
that the German right has been en-
tirely broken and is now being pur-
sued by the allies. All the automo-
biles in northern France have been
requisitioned for the purpose of pur-
suit
"Armored motor cars with mitrail-
leuses are also being used to pursue
the retreating enemy.
"The official communication issued
at o'clock demonstrates unmistak-
ably that the Germans have been sur
rounded in the Somme department,
the French front extending further
east
1T is officially stated that Peronne
has been recaptured.'
The above message has been refer
red to the British official press bu-
reau, which, while not objecting to its

ALASKA BILL PASSED SENATE
Leasing of Coal Lands Important
Features-Differs From
House Measure

A new bill for leasing government
coal lands in Alaska passed the SEN
ate as a substitute for a similar bill
recently passed by the house. 1t would
restrict leases to American citizens.
Several senators pointed out that there
was danger that foreign corporations
might otherwise control much Alaskan
territory.
The measure as now framed differs
from that recently passed by the house
in many particulars. 1t provides that
the government shall reserve 5120
acres of coal-bearing land in the Ber-
ing river field and 1880 acres in the
Mantanuska field, to be mined at the
direction of the president for govern
ment work, construction and opera
ton of government railroads for the
navy, for national protection and for
relief from oppressive conditions.
Unreserved coal lands would be
leased for not more than so years in
4O-acre blocks, in no case exceeding
1850 acres and in any one tract, at a
royalty of from 2 cents to cents a
ton and 25 cents an acre for the first
and second years, so cents an acre for
the third, fourth and fifth years and
81 an acre thereafter, the rentals to be
credited against the royalty.
Leases for purely local needs would
be made in tracts not to exceed 10
acres to any one person or association
without royalty or land charge.
Should any of the lessees attempt tC
monopolize the product or form part
of an unlawful trust or conspire to
control more than 1850 acres Of the
coal lands, the leases would be for
feited by court proceedings A provi
sion would direct that no person EN-
ployed underground should work more
than eight hours a day

Washington State Banks Failed.

Following a checking by the United
States bank examiner and the state
bank examiner, the United States Ma
tional bank at Centralia and the
Union Loan & Trust Co. of Centralia
were forbidden to open their doors.
The two concerns are financially al
lied According to the statement Is
sued as required by law September
10, the deposits of the United States
National were over $1,O00,000 and the
Union Loan & Trust Co. over $780,
900. Loans made to lumber interests
are said to have brought on financial
difficulties.
The Olympia Bank & Trust Co, Of
ficered almost entirely by Washing
ton state officials, was closed by
State Bank Examiner w. r. Hanson
Wednesday after an existence of one
month. The roster of officers in
cludes C. S. Reinhart, clerk of the SUI
preme court, president; Secretary of
State l. M. Howell, vice president;
w. Dean Hays, member of the legis-
lature, cashier; Chairman H. T. Jones
of the state board of control, chair
man of directors, and c. viii Shaffer,
state law librarian, secretary. Hays
and Howell were the largest stock
holders. The Raymond Trust Co. also
was closed by Examiner Hanson. The
closing of both banks is due not to
general business conditions or loans
but to the connection of the institu
lions with the United States National
bank of Centralia, for the wrecking Of
which c. 5. Cilchrist has been sen
fenced to the federal penitentiary

The absence of demands from Japan
coupled with the fact that transpor.
tation rates are now favoring the Co
lumbia river for cOastwise shipments
have had a weakening effect on the
local situation, while the attitude OF
buyers is influenced largely by the
course of current demands. Having
covered the business Immediately in
sight, they are inclined to await the
development of further requirements
before accommodating supplies, which
imparts something of an uncertain un
dertone to spot quotations, although
there is no apparent underlying weak
ness of serious import.

ELECTION OFFICIAL RETURNS
CanVassing Board of State of Wash
ington Finds Black Wins.

ington Finds Black Wins.
Olympia, Wash.-The state canvass
ing board decided Tuesday that owing
to the failure of Snohomish county to
return the total number of ballots cast
for supreme court candidates in the
recent primary, Justice Chadwick and
five others must go on the November
ballot, as follows. H. d. Crow, e. q.
Mills, o. r. Holcomb, John h. Humph-
ries and W. H. Pemberton, making
the race with him for three positions
on the bench.
The only candidates in the state to
win their nominations on first choice
votes alone are William E. Humphrey,
republican, for congress from the First
district, and Ole Hanson, progressive
for United States senator, each having
as high as 60 per cent of the total first
choice votes cast in their contests.
The official canvass gave w. w.
Black of Everett, third man on first
choice votes, the democratic senatorial
nomination by margin of Is combin-
ed first and second choice votes over
the combined vote for Geo. Turner
of Spokane. Turner had a lead OF
more than $500 in first choice votes
over his nearest opponent, Geo. F. Cot
terill.
Harry Rosenhaupt's victory for the
republican nomination in the Fifth
congressional district is confirmed.
The official canvass shows the fol
lowing vote by parties: Republicans,
100000 democrats, $4,000; progress
ives, 25,922; socialists 6SO1.
The total number of first choice
votes for all democratic senatorial
candidates was only 24,SO7, making 1t
evident that thousands of votes were
rejected and wasted because voters
failed to mark second choices.

Buying business" is almost invari-
ably very poor business, but, if you
feel that it is worth while to pay a
cash bonus for trade, it is infinitely
better to give the customer the full
benefit than to pay double and play
some one else's game.
