c. lj.CQX ECO ELECTED /: |; | ]: CLERK
Adjourned Meeting of the City
School Board Held Last Night in
Lee Building to Select Kinks Sue
cessor.

+be adjourned meeting of the City
roboo, Board last night. The meet
mo had been called for the purpose OIL
electing clerk in place OF Harry =,
Kirk a former member OF the board
from the Third ward.
Shortly after the board had been
called to order the committee aP-
pointed at the last regular mee'ihs
10 request Commonwealth Attorney
Samuel G. Brent to furnish an opln-
ion as to the legality of electing
superintendent Sweeney clerk OF the
heard made their report in which 1t
was stated thai, according to the laws
Of the Legislature of Virginia, the
SUPERINTENDENT is ineligible for the
position The opinion Of the Com
nenWealth Attorney was then read.
1t follows:
The City School Board, alexandria
Virginia.
Gentlemen:-Through your commit
tee YOU have requested me to ad-
wise You as to whether or not the
Division Superintendent is eligible to
the appointment of Clerk OF your
Beard.
The appointment Of Clerk 70 yo.r yrr
Board is provided for by Section 1916
as amended, Acts 1914, page 49S, and
provides that you, in your discretion
may appoint a Clerk who may, OF
NAV not, be a member of your Board
This section is qualified by Section
1927, as amended by Acts 1912, page
524, which provides as follows: mo
mavor, member of council, treasurer
or other officer of a city, town on
county, shall be eligible to the ofrice
of Division Superintendent of Schools
of such city, town, or county. The
object expressed by the Legislature
in this section is to prevent any "of-
ficer of the city" from holding either
the position of Superintendent Of
Schools tor Clerk of the City School
sBoard.
You will observe that the words,
eofficer of a city" applies to all Off
GERS of the city, whether they be
municipal officers or officers of the
State for the municipality.
The words "oficer of a city"
in my Judgment, are comprehensive
enough to include any one of the OIL
ticers designated as municipal officers
and officers of the State, and as the
Division Superintendent is State OF
ficer for the municipality, I conclude
that the Division Superintendent is
not eligible for appointment as Clerk
cf the School Board.
Section 1888 provides that the City
School Board shall have Clerk who
shall be charged with the same duties
as the Clerk Of District School
Boards. The duties of the Clerk, un-
der a number Of sections, would GER
fainiy, in my judgment, be incom-
patible with the duties of the Division
Superintendent for example, take
Sections 1852 and 1463. which pro
vide for the taking Of the school
census. we find that the Clerk shall
take the census in "proper person OF
by deputies approved by the Divi:
!. sion Superintendent of Schools >
Clearly, here the duties would conflict.
We find the Division Superintendent
as Clerk. appointing his deputies, anc
as Division Superintendent. approving
his appointments made by him a:
Clerk. :.
Trusting that I have made myself
clear upon the proposition submit,
ted to me. I am,
Very truly yours,
o.,xY,rr n ppEhIT

MAN AND WOMAN SLAIN
RANcHMAN's BODY FILLED WITH
SHOT AND BULLETS.
Signs Of Struggle Indicate Farmer
Found With Throat Slashed
Killed Housekeeper.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Colorado Springs.-Thomas CIVIL
linn, farmer, 65 years old. and Mrs.
Mary E. Simmons, So years old.
housekeeper for Gwillim, were killed
by rifle bullets at the Gwillim home
near Falcon, twenty miles east Of
here. The discovery of the tragedy
was made by neighbor's daughter,
when she called at the farmhouse on
an errand
The girl said both bodies were ly-
ing in the sitting room OF the ranch
house. But when the coroner reached
the place the woman's body was in
when she called on an errand.
The coroner followed q trail of
blood across two rooms to closet.
Opening the door he was confronted
by the staring eyes Of Gwillim. In
whose lap was half gallon jug con-
tanning whisky. Stains upon his chin
indicated that he had partaken of the
contents before succumbing.
Gwillims body was found to have
received two rifle bullets and numer-
GUS buckshot wounds, and his throat
had been cut away with a penknife
About the room were evidences Of
struggle. and small holes in the walls
indicated where some of the buck
shot had struck the plaster.
Coroner Boyle believes that Gwillim
killed Mrs. Simmons and then turned
the gun on himself. Gwillim is be-
lieved to have tried to kill her with
shotgun and then to have got q
46-79 high-power rifle and shot her
through the heart He afterwards,
the officers believe, turned the rifle
on himself.
While the officers were examining
the house, Vaza, 1S-year-old daughter
of Mrs. Simmons, returned. She
stated that she had come home from
Falcon and discovered the tragedy
She hitched horse into a buggy and
went to a neighbor's to notify them.
Gwillim, who was brother OF r. j.
Gwillim, formerly assessor of Ell Paso
county, lived on his farm a mile and
half south of Falcon Ten years ago
he was divorced Two of his grown
sons live on farms near his.

they returned to their homes they out did one another in their praise of the financial genius who was leading them to the promised land of profits and pre- ferred stock. As a matter of course they one and all advised their friends to buy, vouching for the fabulous rich ness of Hope Consolidated, and, since their statements were backed by per sonai examination of the property, sub- scriptions came pouring in.
 All in all, the excursion had proved so profitable that Gordon had arranged for another, designed to accommodate new investors and promising pros pects.' Preparations for their wei come were under way when Natalie arrived.
 The girl and her mother talked late that evening, and Gordon saw on the following morning that Gloria at least had passed a trying night, but he gave himself no uneasiness. Emotion al storms were not unusual. He all ways disregarded them as far as pos sibIe, and usually they passed o quietly. During breakfast he inform, them:
 s'I received letter from Miss Go1 en in yesterdays mail. She is to one of the new party
 Did you in-ite her to return tn summer?" Mrs Gerard inquired.
 Yes
 q remember her very wen.'' sa NataIie-''too well, in fact. I thoue her very bo1d.''
 9sShe is one of our largest inYesto and she writes she would enjoy speL ing a fortnight here after the others, go back
 ''wiII you allow it?''
 Allow it. My dear Gloria, can't possibly, refuse In fact, it would be the height of inhospitality not to urge Ter to do so She is welcome to stay as long as she chooses for these quar- ters are as much hers as ours. I hope you will be nice to her.
 Mrs Gerard made no answer, but later in the morning sought Gordon in his private office.
 q preferred not to discuss the Gold en woman before Natahe,'' she ex- plained coldly "But-you don't really intend to have her here, do you?
 Most assuredly.'
 s.Then I shall have to tell her she is not welcome"
 'eYou will do nothing of the sort. my dear. You will assume the duties of hostess, for which no one is more charmingIy qualified
 Mrs. Gerarl's lips were white with anger as she retorted:
