BOARD GUSTS
PRINCIPAL OF
ANDERSON HIGH
John Miller Resigns Upon
Demand; New Head Not
Yet Considered.
CAUSED By FRICTION
Recommended Removal of
Seven Teachers to City
Officials.
BIZ Times Special

| BIZ Times Special
ANDERSON, Ind, Aug. 3.-Fric-
ton in the faculty of Anderson
senior high school, which cropped
out last May when the school board
failed to order contract renewals
for seven teachers, has resulted in
the ousting of John D. Miller, prin-
cipal
Miller, who is attending sum-
mer course in Columbia university,
wired his resignation from New
York in response to telegram sent
him following a meeting of the
board Monday night, demanding his
resignation.
The ousted principal is prominent
in Indiana high school basketball as
referee, having ofhciated at several
state tournaments. He taught in
the English department of the To-
cal high school until about one year
ago when he was elevated to the
principalship, to succeed D. E..
Wledler.
Seven Teachers Ousted
Cancellation of the contracts of
the seven teachers was attempted
on the recommendation of Princi-
pal Miller in a move to get rid Of
the members of the faculty who
we're alleged not to be friendly to
him.
The board, then composed of John
Hyde, DR.. Weir Miley and Mrs. Au-
gusta Millspaugh, sustained Princi-
pal Miller, but with the succession
of Hyde by Joseph T. Day, Dem
ocrat, the balance of pwer changed,
and Miller's dismissal came at the
first meeting attended by the new
member of the board.
Miss Mary Wilson, English in
structor, who was one of the seven
teachers slated for dismissal, asked
for hearing provided by the teach
ers' tenure law and this matter was
hanging fire when the board turned
on Miller. Supposition is that the
charges brought against Miss Wilson
will now be dismissed and she will
be allowed to return to her position.
Others Not Given Contracts
Other instructors who were not
given contracts are Miss Blanche
Swindell, head of the English de-
partment; A. r. Royce, head of the
commercial department; Miss Min
ME L. Adams, English and history
teacher; Miss Maize v. Bailey, COM
mercial teacher; Miss Elizabeth
Potter, Spanish and commercial
teacher; Miss Marjorie c. Parish,
commercial teacher. Some of these
teachers have signed contracts to
teach elsewhere.
The school board has not con-
sidered the appointment Of new
principal.

Gary street car patrons will pay
10 cents instead of the present
8-cent fare if a petition filed with
the public service commission by
the Gary Railways Company is
granted
The company is an insult sub
sidiary.
The company asks authority to
establish a 10-cent fare, a rate Of
twelve tokens for 81 and a weekly

The latter will sell for 40 cents and
the holders of the weekly pass then
may ride the cars by paying a

The company will issue free
transfers to connecting street car
and motor bus routes. School
children's tickets will remain six
for Is cents.
Under the proposed plan, the
present three-fare zones in Gary,
Hammond, and East Chicago will
be eliminated, thus doing away with
the present double fares in these
cities, it was said. Such a step would
reduce the fare between Gary and
Hammond from "a cents to 20 cents
and would permit Gary passengers
to ride anywhere within the city
limits for a single fare.
