LOCAL and PERSONAL
MEMORIAL.

Katie Sue, the beautiful and ac-
compiished daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs
E. Crum, was born May 8, 1905, and
died September 26, 1918.
She was of that kind, gentle, low
ing disposition that ever renders ser.
vice and makes and keeps friends
This was truly exemplifed in the
beautiful talk she made just few
hours before her death. To those OF
her dear ones at home and some OF
her schoolmates she talked Of heaven
and asked them to meet here there
in such an earnest, sincere manner
las to leave an impression that will
not be erased soon from their mem
cries.
Rev. Moses Hay conducted her
funeral Friday at 1890 o'clock at
Mt. Olivet, using as his subject,
Heaven" and developing some beau
tiful thoughts.
Six girls, who were former school
mates, preceded by two laden with
flowers, all dressed in white, carried
her tenderly to her grave to await
the resurrection.
As these, and her immediate fam
lily, except an absent brother, who
is hero of the Marine, nursing a
shattered arm in France, stood weep
ing about her white casket, could
not but think with Carleton:-
"Would l might utter all my heart
can feel;
But there are thoughts weak words
will not reveal"

American and man of decent in
stincts, arose and sharply reproved
the speaker, for which action he was
taken to task by DR.. Gilbreath. Since
the advocacy Of Hun principles has
become unpopular, not to say danger
Gus, Mr.. Gilbreath has become one
of our most enthusiastic little Lib
erty Loan speakers.
You say "Details of these charges
have been suppressed" They have
not been suppressed by those who
brought the charges. If the Times
wishes to publish them, it can get a
copy.
Your informant states that 'the
charge in which the girl is concerned
is ridiculous in the extreme, and is
not couched in very definite TERMS
This is not true. If the Times wishes
to publish the charges, it will find the
public will have no difficulty in I'M
Outstanding them, and will not think
them at all ridiculous in connection
with the name Of a man who is in
charge Of great educational insti-
tuition where, in the course Of the
years, thousands of East Tennessee
girls are to be educated
The intimation that there was
hearing at Nashville and that Presi-
dent Gilbreath "refuted" the charges
is not based on fact He may have
denied them, but there has been no
hearing. We were asked by the state
board to appear at Nashville and pro-
duce witnesses, which we refused to
do for obvious reasons. After this
the board met and adjourned to john
son City. If Mr.. Gilbreath asked for
a hearing here, it was by way of
making a virtue of necessity. Mr..
Thompson made no request on the
subject.
If Mr.. Gilbreath and his friends
wish to try this case in the newspa-
pers, they can be accommodated, but
if the Times wishes to ascertain for
itself whether the charges are "ridic-
ulous," let it have its reporter attend
the hearing"

Cleared Up
Johnson City, Tenn,
October 2, 1918.
Editor Chattanooga Times,
Chattanooga, Tenn.

chattanooga AeHH'
SIR
l have a clipping from the Greene
Vile Sun in which is quoted an ar
ticle recently published in the Times
on the subject Of the charges pre-
ferred against Prof. Sidney G. Gil
breath, president of the East Tennes-
see State Normal. There are some
glaring mistakes in this article, and
| trust that you will kindly give
space for the publication of this let
ter in order that the facts may APP
pear.
1t is not true that the charges are
brought by "Sam Thompson, of Bris-
toll, former State Superintendent, and
by a man named Kennedy. -"
The charges were made by citizens
of Johnson City-men who have been
and are independent of Mr. Gilbreath
and whom he has not been able to
hurt in any way. Your informant
was either ignorant or deliberately
misled you when he tried to make
the impression that these charges
were brought by some one who was
disgruntled because Of having been
discharged from the Normal school.
The complaint and demand for in
vestigation comes from men who are
well acquainted with Mr., Gilbreath's
character and who do not consider
him fit person for the position he
now holds.
1t is true that Mr.. Samuel H.
Thompson, former State Superintend-
ent, is a witness as to one of the
charges, that of drunkenness.
The "man named Kennedy" of
whom you speak, is Dr. Edwin w.
Kennedy, for seven years professor
of history at the East Tennessee
State Normal and formerly of the
Peabody College at Nashville. He is
a man of high standing: a scholar
and a gentleman, and one of the most
highly respected and best-liked men
in this community. DR.. Kennedy has
been one of the Normal's best assets
because of his learning, his charac-
ter, his personality and his enthusi-
asm for the cause Of education, and
there is no doubt that his omission
from the faculty for the coming year
is an added reason why hosts of peo-
pie in Johnson City and East Ten
nessee generally think Mr.. Gilbreath
is unfit for the position he now holds,
but the filing of the charges against
Mr.. Gilbreath did not arise out of
DR.. Kennedy's dismissal. The move
ment to acquaint the state board with
the true character of the Normal
schools president started before the
election of teachers for the coming
year and before we had any intima-
ton that Dir. Kennedy would not be
reelected
We understand Mr.. Gilbreath gives
as his reason for not asking the re-
election Of Dr. Kennedy, that he, DR..
Kennedy, had criticized the president
of the Normal and some of the teach
ers there. The fact is that one of
the teachers, of Austrian birth, made,
in the assembly hall at the Normal
and on public occasion, a speech in
which he undertook to defend the
submarine infamies of Germany, at
which time DR.. Kennedy, being an

that TO educate them even IL German

TO TRY VOLUNTARY BASIS,

will be introduced in Congress and
pressed for enactment only II the gov
ernment is unable to shut off capital
expenditures for non-essential enter
prises by moral persuasion and pa

A committee. consisting of Paul M

Delano. members of the reserve board
is at work on plans for effecting the
voluntary regulation. The committees
recommendations will be submitted
probably in about a week to the board
and to Secretary McAdoo.
Meanwhile hundreds of requests for
specific approval of contemplated Sc
curities issues are held without action
having been referred to the board by
Secretary McAdoo.
