HAY SUSTAINS
TWO POINTS IN
SWAILS' BEHALF
County SUPPLEMENTARY Bat
tie to Be Fought Out on
Majority Vote.

Judge linn y. Hay Of Superior Court
Room 2. today sustained the demurrer Of
Lee L. Swalls, county superintendent OF
schools, to the third and fourth para
graph of q complaint in q quo warranto
proceeding brought by Robert X. Dew
erlcks. who claims that he was legally
selected by the township trustees sitting
"a a county board Of education to act as
county superintendent Of schools for a
four year period beginning last Septem-
Der.
The decision Of Judge Hay gives Mr.
Syails the FIRST victory in the legal con
troyersy over the county superintendents
office.
The court held that the allegations in
the third and fourth paragraphs OF the
complaint did not plead sufficient facts
and SO sustained the demurrer of Mr..
SwaiIs. This leaves the first and second
paragraphs pending on the dockets
RULING CHIEFLY
ON NOTICE.
Judge May confined his ruling chiefly
to the effect that the so-called notice that
Mr.. Swals held a two years teachers
license at the time the trustees consid-
cred the selecting Of a county superin-
tenQent or sChOOIS last spring hdu on the
trustees who voted for Swails.
The court discussed at length the valid
fly Of the so-calIed notice upon the ac-
ton Of five trustees in voting for Mr.
Swails. The court paid particular at
tention to the possible attitude of the
trustees voting for Swails, whether it was
in the spirit of throwing away their
votes on an ineligible candidate or
whether the action was taken in the
spirit Of stubhornness.
Judge Hay clearly indicated that a
school superintendent should obtain q
majority Of the votes Of the trustees of
the county before he was elected. 1t is

SIBERIA GRIPS
IN
ARMS SESSION
French and Japanese
Denials Fail to AL
lay Fears.
ONLY ONE CHOICE
Chita Invitation Can
Not Be RecOg-
niZed.

PARIS, Jan. S.--The French foreign Of
nee today emphatically denied the state
ment of the representatives, Of the Far
Eastern republic at Washington, that
France and Japan had entered into an
agreement by which France agreed to
complete domination of Eastern Siberia
by the Japanese.
The statement was branded as pure
invention" by foreign office officials.
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Despite
the denials so vehemently voiced by
French and Japanese delegates in
Washington that a secret agreement
exists between their government over
mutual policies to be pursued IN
Siberia, the question was uppOrmost
as they resumed work after the holt
days.
Officially the denials OF the French and
japanese have been accepted by the
American Government. Between the word
Of two recognized and friendly powers,
and the word q an unrecognized. unin-
vited new republic OF doubtful stability
there can be only one choice so far as the
United States Government officially is
concerned.
SIBERIA DRAWS
sTTES
The publication Of these alleged secret
agreements by the unofficial delegates OF
the Fer East (Chita) government, how
ever. has served TO draw maximum at
tentlon to the whole question Of Siberia,
which is due to be taken up by the con-
ference shortly. In view OF the dis
closures made, the attitudes OF the French
and japanese over the matter Of n reso-
luton pledging the powers to observe the
territorial and perhaps the adminlstra-
tive integrity OF Russia and Siberia viii
be- watched with absorbing interest by
the other powers of the conference.
There were no indications that the
United States plans to take advants re
Of the Chita delegates invitation TO
have their papers examined by n State
Department representative. As a matter
of fact there are known to be in the files

American observers in the Far East.
which bear a general resemblance TO the
documents made public here in such
startling fashion by the Far Eastern

ago before the advent OF the Republican
administration.

that have befallen this one or that one, but in common with others 1 share, with them, the universal weakness that of ' wanting the great universe itself, the inconceiv- able depths and heights of the side rial heavens to publish now and then the honors that have. come to mel! Let us not try to fool our selves on this matter. Everyone knows how these megaphonic toots get in the papers; we write them ourselves or we hire, beg or tease some professional buffer, or person ally interested vote hunter, relation or friend to write them for us. It is matter of common knowledge that many statesmen and most of the oratorical self tooters or speakers do not write their speeches; they can not say the Lords prayer without a written text before them. A good many people would like to write up their own obituary. Tn it they could let themselves go (before they went) and astonish the whole world with the tremendous unimportance of their important selves.
 Mark Twain said he liked to get heme at night, go out on the back porch, take off his too tight boots, put his aching feet up on the railing and watch them swell up and ob- scure the Armament; just so we poor humans feel about our poor tired feet, hands, heads, hearts and wear jed aching souls.
 Our ambitions, hopes, fears, sor- rows, disappointments, losses, pride, vain glory and love of power are too tight for our immortal souls. So, we take them off at times and try to ele- vate ourselves with imaginary dreams of the vast importance of our own unimportant selves that we yet hope to see swell up and obscure the Armament, like Mark Twain's feet. H f-t I remember when we had our first
