EVANS HEARING
Ousted Colored Principal
Charges Discrimination at
Mandamus Trial.
DENIES NToxIcATION
Plaintiff Tells of Accusations Made
by Capt. Oyster Declares
Z. IT, NIL l,,k De-.
DENIES NT0xICATION

Whether Wilson Bruce Evans shah be
reinstated as head of the colored night
schools Of this city is the question before
Justice Stafford in the District Supreme
Court. The hearing on Evans manda-
mus action against the school board
started yesterday afternoon.
DR.. Evans was dismissed from the
schools in November. 1872 because. 1t
was alleged, he had been found lacking
In the necessary academic, pedagogic and
administrative qualifications" The plain
tiff, however, insists that it was a con-
spiracy to oust him and that 1t was pre-
ceded by numerous secret investigations
contrary to the law of the District.
Most of the evidence was in, and
probably the most important witness
thus far. Roscoe NJ. Bruce, was on the
stand when recess was taken until
Tuesday afternoon. Mr.. Bruce. as assist
ant superintendent of the colored schools
division, had direct dealing with the pro-
grams of classes from each of the prin-
cipals and teachers. He testified that
DR.. Evans was slow and unreliable In
returning programs and ether papers
and reports asked of him.
Thurston on Stand.
On the matter Of the dismissal of the
younger Mr.. Evans, point brought up
by the plaintiff to show discrimination,
Mr.. Bruce testified that he was dis
missed after being employed only tenn
porarily because an investigation showed
clearly that he was not needed. A lively
contest arose on the point of whether or
not the Office was not filled soon after
by another. showing that there was a
need for some one. None of Mr.. Bruce's
replies to this query appeared to be sat
isfactory to the counsel for the plain
tiff. The, assistant superintendent later
agreed that one Holmes had been en-
ployed. though not Immediately after.
E. L. Thurston, superintendent of
schools. testified that his opinion of DR..
Evans was not requested, and he never
asked any questions concerning DR..
Evans habits. He had. however, signed
the request for his dismissal when he
found II necessary to act, and he thought
at that ime he had sufficient information
to Justify him. On cross-eXamination he
declared that the question of DR.. Evans
personal habits had not weighed in max
ing his decision at all.
The dismissed man, himself. took the
stand and detailed various meetings he
had with Capt James F. Oyster. then
head Of the board. Capt. Oyster had
demanded to know II he were not having !
classes Of less than ten pupils. the |
minimum allowed by law and wanted |
also to know If he were not trying to |
work his son into a position. This, he |
says he denied. At another time the |
captain. he testified, accused him of visit |
ing the Capitol to influence legislation
and said that he had been thrown out
Of q committee meeting there intoxicat-
ed, all of which DR.. Evans says he told
him was untrue. 4

Against Reappointing Excisemen.

Senator Jones, of Washington, an
nounced yesterday that he will oppose
confirmation by the Senate of Gen. Rob-
ert G. Smith as chairman of the Dis
trict Excise Board. Gen. Smith was re-
appointed by the President during the
summer, and the appointment has been
sent to the Senate. Gen. Smith Is from
New Jersey, the Presidents State. Sem
ator Jones will base his opposition on
the ground that the board has failed
to carry out the provisions Of the Jones'
Works law.

BETTER BUSINESS CONDITIONS.

The fact that the amount in Iiahili-
ties in business failures in the past
month was smaller than in the same
month for any recent year is taken by
the commercial agencies as an indica-
ton that the weak spots in the gen
eral business situation are being elm
mated. The assurance of big crops
strengthens the confidence in business
conditions which has been growing
several months.
The New York Central and Pennsyl-
vania came out yesterday with reports
Of earnings for July which set the OPP
timists talking. Business men who
have returned recently from the West
report that hundreds of smokestacks
which have been idle for months arc

these lines between New York and
