The troops of Virginia were
among those of thirteen States
which were ready for service on
the Mexican border within q rea-
sonable time after the Presidents
call to arms. This il evidence OF
their efficiency, training and pre-
parcdness, which since that time
has made them the cynosure of
military observers and brought
them commenda ton from high Of
ficers of the army.
1t Is q privilege to lie known
as one Of the few States of the
Union ready at the cali to serve
the country, and Richmond and
Virginia owe to its troops the
united thanks of the State. 1t Is
this appreciation that Richmond
wishes to show the Virginia boys
when they return from the border,
and the public is asked to send
contributions to Colonel Thomas
b. McAdaMs at the Merchants
National Bank Or to The Rich

BRINGS CHARGES Of
IMPROPER CONDUCT
Bellevue School Is Incompetent,
Teacher Declares.
SAYS HE USED PROFANITY
Accusations Brought in Writing to
School Board, and Riddick Trans
ferred-Case to Be Decided by
Board Tuesday Night.

Broad charges of unbecoming con-
duct and failure in discharge of duty
have been made against G. A. Rid
dick, assistant principal of the Belle
vue Prevocational School, by r. N.
Thomas, instructor in history and civ
les in the institution. The formal
complaint was made to DR.. ]. A. G.
Chandler, superintendent of schools,
and the matter was to have been
laid before the School Board at 6
o'clock yesterday afternoon. but has
now been set for Tuesday night.
Thomas has filed list of charges
against Riddick. and among the com
plants he alleges that the assistant
principal has been guilty OF the
grossest Encouragement of the school
and declares that he Is lacking In the
essential qualifications for the post
ton which he occupies. He further
charges Riddick with smoking and
with using profane language In the
school building. The statement, In
writing, which has been forwarded
instances in which the alleged mis-
conduct OF Professor Riddick has
placed the other teachers OF the
school in an embarrassing position.
Countcr-Attacks Alleged
It IL charged in the stateme 1t that
when Thomas brought conditions to
the attention OF the school authori-
ties he was urged to drop the mat
ter and was himself threatened with
certain charges II he continued to
press the accusations. He claims
that Ernest Shawen. principal Of the
Bellevue School. and w. II. Magee,
superintendent of prevocational
schools, told him they had some
charges of their own they would
bring against him in case he didn't
see At to allow the Riddick affair
TO drop.
DR.. Chandler said that he had given
the case hearing on both sides, and
had consumed a great deal OF time in
the matter. after which he had trans
ferred Riddick TO another school. Rid
dicks attitude, he said, as laid out in
the charges against him, was not con-
ducive to the best interests OF the
school He could do no more than
transfer Riddick, as all powers OF dis
missal rest with the School Board.
Riddick has firmly denied the
charges made by Thomas, and when
asked to give out statement in the
case. he declined. merely saying that
all the charges against him were
false Thomas declares that he de-
sires the fullest investigation of the
matter and that II was only his own
disapproval of the laxity with which
Riddick was running the school that
gave rise to the charges he preferred.
The charges were set for investiga-
ton before the School Board yester-
day afternoon. but some OF the men,
hers not being present, II was trans
ferred to Tuesday night. At that time
the whole situation will be thoroughly
gone into. and the blame placed on
the proper parties, with fun adjust
ments. 1t is hoped. TO all difficulties.

Is the first time in the history OF any
disease that an epidemic has circum-
navigated the globe.
"One of the puzzles OF this disease Is
that the term infantile paralysis is
not correct. 1t Is a misnomer, because
the malady can appear without any
paralysis whatever resulting. paralysis
being merely an incident. During the
