Judge Guy Fulk Says Boards Re ,noval Charges Not SubStantiated Permanent Injunction Against
 Interference With Management

Little Rock. July 1.-The Board of Control yesterday lost on every point in the case in the Second Di- vision Pulaski Circuit court to de- termine whether 1t had sufficient cause to oust Dr. E. P Bledsoe. su- perintendent of the State hospital Judge Guy Fulk overruled all the boards contentious. overruled a mo- ton for new trial and ordered the board to pay the salaries of Dr. Bledsoe and Dr. R. F. Darnall. as- sistant superintendent which had been held up by the Board of Con- trol pending the decision. Judge Fulk ordered Dr. Bledsoe and Dr. Darnall to make bond for refunding the money to the state if the Su- preme court does not uphold the de- cisiOn
 Can't Remove Darnall.
 Judge Fulk held that the board completely failed to substantiate any of it's charges" The court also held that the board had no author ity to remove" Dr. Darnall and elect in his place Dr. R. E. Row land or anyone else, because the law specifically provides that the only two offices the board can appoint and dismiss are the superintendent and the steward. The board was given 60 days in which to file a bill of exceptions and take an appeal.
 Case Goes Over.
 AS the Supreme court adiourns Monday until the latter part of Sep tember 1t is improbable that the ap- peal will be submitted before early in October Grover T. Owens. one of the boards attorneys, said yester- day the appeal will not be filed be- fore the court adjourns.
 Judge Fulk's decision referred to the boards investigation of charges against Dr. Bledsoe as "a semblance of a hearing The proceedings. the court said, were nuasi-judicial. and subject to the writ of certiorari up- on which the case was tried He or dered quashed the proceedings. de- claring Dr. Bledsoe and Dr. Darnall not dismissed, and ordered the in- junction preventing interference with Dr. Bledsoe's administration made permanent.
 Governor Silent on Dr. Bledsoe Case.
 Little Rock, July 7.-Neither Gov. Hays nor any member of the Board of Control will make any comment upon the decision of Circuit Judge Fulk in deciding that the Board had no authority to remove Dr. Bledsoe as Superintendent of the Insane Asylum. All that any member of the Board would say is that they have not, stopped fighting yet, and it is intimated that the, decision of the lower court will be tried in the Su- preme Court on the ground that Judge. Fulk had no jurisdiction. The Supreme Court however, will ad- Journ next Monday for the summer recess. Just what step the Board will take to prevent the decision of the lower court establishing the sta- tus quo until the Supreme court can pass upon it, has not been made public, Several courses are open" said a friend of the administration.
