PROSECUTOR
OFFERS QUIZ
OF SCHOOLS
Remy Ready to Investigate
Alleged Irregularities
If Requested.

Prosecutor William H. Remy today
offered to investigate alleged irregu-
larities in school board affairs and
the ousting of School Superintendent
e. U. Graft.
Remy also disclosed that several
weeks ago, when reports that Graft
was to be forced out were heard, he
conducted a preliminary investiga-
ton.
If any group of citizens ask an
investigation of school board affairs
he will go into the matter thorough
ly, he said, and present evidence to
the grand jury and ask indictments
if the facts warrant such action.
To Consider Matter
Emsley w. Johnson, attorney for
a group of citizens organized recent
ly with a view of impeaching the
majority faction of the school board,
indicated the group would probably
consider the matter at meeting TO-
day.
"Remy is busy man and we have
hesitated to place the situation be-
fore him in the face of the heap of
Investigations he already is con-
ducting," Johnson said.
Il have thought considerably Of
that angle, however,
Henry L. Dithmer, temporary
chairman of the organization, was
reluctant to discuss the feasibility of
presenting the "tangle" for Remy's
probing.
I'VE have a hard bunch to fight in
this situation" Dithmer declared,
'They are smart and are keeping
their moves closely guarded with the
| hand to them constantly with what
1--WE are going to do and are doing, it
offers than an untold advantage. 2 ~
Permanent Organization
"One important thing to be ac.
complished at the meeting today is
Then we are in better position to
fight"
Letters sent out to several hun
dred citizens resulted in the original
body of about thirty-five being aug
mented to nearly 200, according to
Joseph j. Schmid, temporary treas
urer. Grier M. Shotwell is tenn
porary secretary.
That the civic affairs committee of
the Chamber of Commerce might en-
ter the breach also was indicated.
William H. Book, committee direc-
tor, who resigned as business man
ager of the school board when he re-
fused to accede to the demands of
the incoming majority faction a year
ago, stated he was in sympathy with
Graft, and the committee would con-
slider the situation.
Graft Explains
Graft was summarily ousted, with
no reasons given, by the majority
faction of the school board Tuesday
night. The group is comprised of
Theodore F. Vonnegut, president;
Mrs. Lillian Sedwick, vice president,
and Commissioner Charles w. Kern.
"When I asked the faction why
they wished my resignation when
they called on me Feb. 9, they told
me they were dissatisfied with some
of my appointments" Graft declared.
II asked to whom they referred,
and they named an assistant school
superintendent, declaring he was ar
1 bitrary and would not listen to
reason.
''Then the faction said they had
made campaign pledge to discharge
me-"
