The Industrial SChOOl==SOutheaSt
 Alaska

The Honorable William John Cooper, Commissioner of the United States Bureau of Educa ton, has just announced that the site for the Industrial School ter Southeastern Alaska has been selected, toWit, Shomak- CT Bay. This site is four miles cast of Wrangell, Alaska.
 This site was preferred by the Commissioner because it scored the most points in the elimina- tion contest in which the candi- dates numbered five, namely, r1etlakatla, KlaWock, Ketchikan, Wrangell Narrows (near Peters, burg) and Shoemaker Bay.
 The authorities announced before hand just what they would require and grouped the points as follows:
 Essential, 500 points; Primary. 300 points, and Secondary, 200 points.
 The Essentials (500) were: 1. Water Domestic (including
 fire.
 2. Power Available or Potential. 3. Soil for gardens, etc. 4. Accessibility to population
 centers or ready transporta-
 tiOn.
 5. Possibility of School Atmos-
 phere and Spirit free from
 tribal influence
 The Primary Points (300O were: 1. Accessibility-Steamer Lines.
 Roads, Docks.
 2. Area available. 3. Exposure-elevat t i on; level
 drainage.
 4. Climatic ConditiOns-rainfall,
 winds, pests, sun. 5. HarbOr (for small boats). The Secondary Points (200) were 1. Hospital facilities. 2. Church facilities. 3. Available Industries, canner-
 ies, sawmills, etc.

cessitating double freight charg- es.
 Thus by elimination, Shoe maker Bay (and Wrangel) gets the school plant on which the initial expenditure will be over $2OO,00O.
 Not the least of the arguments advanced for the Wrangell site was the fact that at this point the race question is virtually solved, there being but one per- son of prominence who still talks about the "siWashes."
 Some people of course will say that this site was finally select- ed because the ALASKA NATIVE BROTHERHOOD preferred it there. It is true that they did, but this only proves that the BROTHERHOOD endorsed the site having in mind but the single good of the school, and that they selected the place that stood all the tests that fair minded man like Dr. Cooper could make. The ALASKA MA TIVE BROTHERHOOD is the voice of the organized natives of Southeastern Alaska. The great est good for the greatest number is their motto. While in conven- tion, they selected Shoemaker Bay as being the best location for the proposed school. This solidarity was somewhat broken when one person induced the KlaWock people to repudiate their delegates to the. Conven- tion and to make claim for the school An attempt was also made among the Hydaburg peo- pie, but the leaders there saw that this person was merely try- ing to divide the native people and thus weaken them, and so they stood by their delegates.

 Those who know the facts about each candidate will readi- ly zee that Shoemaker Bay would score the his;hcsJ. 1-> Petersburg location was put out of the running (When it seemed to have won in 1928) by a letter from Governor George A. Parks who transmitted a letter from the War Department protesting that any structure in the Nar- rows would be a menace to navi- gation.
 Ketchikan was eliminated (we think because there was not sufficient area of land available and because of the very things that the managers of the city think are necessary to attract the bachelors among fishermen and sailors are considered ob- jcctionable for schools and stu dents.
 Metlakatla, we think, was eliminated because of the fifth point under the Essentials. The Commissioner could not very we'll overlook the long continued hostility that has existed be- tween the Tsimpshean people and the Thlinget-Haida group.
 But perhaps the strongest handicap of the claim of Metla- katla was the fact that it has no harbor for small boats. This location and Ketchikan as well have about twice the rainfall that Shoemaker Bay has, the ra- tio being 156 to 80 inches per annum.
 Klawock really put up a strong claim for the school but could not overcome the handicap of being entirely out of the line of passenger steamboat travel ne-

the minority did not expect to get

DE NOTE, Ind, April 9.-Dis-
misSal of Rufus A. Eudaly as prln-
cipal Of the Keener township con-
solidated school here, which at
tracted attention of teachers and
school authorities throughout In
diana, has been followed by court
victory for Eudaly.
Judge Grant Crumpacker Of
Porter circuit court at Valparaiso,
to which suit by Eudaly asking re-
instatement was taken on change
of venue from Jasper circuit court
at Rensselaer,, has ruled that Frank
M. Hart, Keener township trustee,
and Morgan L. Sterrett, Jasper
county school superintendent, ex-
ceeded their authority in dismissing
the principal.
Brands Charges False
In his suit, Eudaly recited that
he signed a contract with the trus-
tee to serve as principal for an
eight term, but that several
months before the contract period
expired was dismissed on false
charges. Eudaly's wife, teacher in
the township school, also dismissed,
has a suit similar to her husbands
pending against the township truS-
tee and county superintendent.
In deciding the case, Judge Crum-
packer declared that a trustee has
a right to dismiss a member of the
teaching staff provided a majority
of the patrons of a school ask it. In
the Eudaly case, petition for dis
missal was filed, but there was no
evidence to show that a majority
of patrons signed it.
Cites Dismissal Grounds
Judge Crumpacker pointed out
that it has been held that dismissal
shall be only on grounds touching
qualifications or performance of
duties, and that removal for any
other cause would be in excess of
authority held by the trustee.
The court declared there had been
no evidence Eudaly was not qualified
or had failed to do bis work in a
proper manner
Judge Crumpacker declared dis
naissal of Eudaly was without legal
justification and that it was arhi-
trary and in excess of the authority.
Residents of De Motto have been
divided for more than two years
over the Eudaly case, friends of the
principal contending that his dis
missal was result of spite work.

OLD POLICY OF

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind, April
9.-Gambling devices and carnival
attractions will be eliminated at the
Montgomery county fair this year,
according to an announcement
made by the directors of the asSo-

1t is the plan of the directors to
give an old style fair with numerous
horse races, large agricultural dis
plays and other features of fairs of
decades ago.
Members of the board of directors
stated that In their opinion the
chief reason for the financial failure
of the fair during the past three
or four years was the fact that the
annual event had deteriorated into
little more than carnival and that
the purpose of having fairs-the
display of agricultural products OF
the county had been forgotten.
The dates for the fair have been

Mainjoy, who was at the wheel.
Keep her as she is he said.
Captain Randell had been I'M
der fire many, many times before
in South Africa, in the North
Sea, at Gallipoli and other places.
So had Mainjoy. He held the
croix de guirre for his wartime
bravery. The I'm Alone held its
course.
Then the blue uniformed sailors
on the cutter removed the tar
paulins from machine gun, also
mounted forward. In a moment
the men on the I'm Alone heard
the Staccato rat-tat-tat of that
weapon. Bullets slashed the waves
alongside; then, as the coast
guards got the range, they pep
pered the hull, masts and sails Of
the fleeing schooner.
Captain Randell was wounded
in the right leg.
Just a flesh wound-it didn't
bother any," he explains.
The chase continued all night,
with another coast guard vessel
the Dexter, joining the Walcott.
A S soon as it was light enough
IN the coast guards could be
seen casting off the lashings OF
their rapid-f1re guns. Once more

shot up to the Walcott's signal

the flags.
Captain Randell turned to his
flag locker. Presently the I'm
Alone flags we're whipped aloft.
I'm on the high seas-I won't

There was a flash and jet of
smoke from the forward deck of
the Dexter, and a shell whistled
over the foredeck of the Walcott,
and another shell went overhead.
The cutters were close, now
so close that flags were not need
ed. The captain of one of the
coast guard ships shouted across
the water to Captain Randell:
Lay to for boarding, or we'll
shell you'll"
And Captain Randell yelled
back: Fire, and be daInned!'
Another shell tipped overhead,
and another.
Then a shell found its mark
and nasty splinters flew up from
the deck of the I'm Alone. More
shells followed. Woodwork few

windows were broken, bits of fly

the range now, and we're sending
their shells accurately into her
hull, close to the waterline. They
wanted to sink the ship, but they
didn't care to kill the sailors if
they could help it.
Captain Randell called out to
his crew:

Over the side they went, into
the water of the gulf, with the
bottom 1000 yards beneath them
and the nearest land 200 miles

to the rail, and slid into the water.
A few moments later the I'm

The French quartermaster, who
hadn't had his fishing, after all,
was dead-droWned before the

and he smiled at them; but then
he saw Mainjoy. and he didn't

WOODRUFF IS
GETTING Even
IN TAX FEUD
500 Home Owners Discover
Bargain Counter Method
of Savings.
STARTED UNDER SHANK
Economy to Citizens Under
Plan to More Than Pay
indianapolis Tribute.

Woodruff Place is getting even
with Papa indianapolis for none
tary spanking it received six years
ago.
For on the bulletin boards inside
the stone walls between Technical
high school grounds, Tenth, Mich
igan and Tecumseh streets is tackled
a notice by the town board of Wood
ruff Place that bids fair to write
"even-up' on the $500 yearly
which the town pays indianapolis
for fire and police protection.
Under the signature of John M.
Dis, town clerk, ga Middle drive.
Woodruff Place, is the notice to its
500 home owners giving bargain
counter method Of saving money on
tax assessments by listing all bonds,
stocks and negotiable securities as
of Woodruff Place and not Of Indi-
annapolis.
Feud Started Under Shank
The notice explains that fixtures
in stores owned by Woodruff Place
residents must of necessity be listed
in Indianapolis when those stores
are in indianapolis but that bonds,
stocks and other securities that are
movable have the taxation home of
the actual domicile of their owner.
Higher taxes in the city of In
dianapolis and the advantageous tax
Ievies in Woodruff Place are cited as
reasons for scrutinizing which per-
sonaI properties should be labeled
Woodruff Place" and which should
carry the high-taXing indelible
stamp of Indianapolis
Woodruff Places feud with the
city that holds it in its biographical
lap began in the administration
of Mayor Lew Shank.
Forced to Pay City
Mayor Shank objected to resi-
dents of Woodruff's three drives re-
ceiving police and fire protection
without paying taxes. He held that
inasmuch as the town had walled
itself outside the city it could not
receive something for nothing.
The late mayor ordered fire trucks
in case of an alarm in Woodruff
Place to wait outside its walled en-
virons for the fire to spread to In
dianapolis, but not to enter the
town. He held that thieves could
purpoin what they wished in Wood
ruff Place without interference from
city police as long as they stayed
within the confines of the little
principally of aristocracy.
The mayors edict with its threat
to make Of Woodruff Place neu-
trail ground for footpads; a heaven
for "firebugs," forced the town to
accede to the payment of $500
yearly for police and fire protection.
Getting Back Now
That was six years ago, and each
budget year the town has paid its
tribute money, but now conserva-
tive estimates are made that the
saving in taxes under the towns
selective method of taxation will
balance the ledger with its feudal
lord and Woodruffans can swing
on front porches this summer while
watching Indianapolis firemen ex-
tinguish blazing roofs with the
chortle it isn't costing us anything"

Talks Latin
That's Principal Lam
guage in Conversation
of Granville Now.

GRANVILLE, N. Y, April g.
" Granville citizens stood about
at the stores. on the corners and
over back fences today arguing
about Latin coniugations.
Letitia Whecon, 19, high school
senior, failed to pass her regents
examination last January and her
father, Milford D. Whedon, an at
torney, said today it vas because
she had an incompetent Latin
teacher.
Meanwhile, the state depart
ment Of education at Albany con-
sidered petition filed by Whedon
for the removal Of Miss Nina
Hammond, pretty young Latin
teacher at the high school, on
charges Of incompetence.
Whedon asked that Miss Ham
mond's New York state teachers
license be revoked.
MANY persons insisted today
1VI that Miss Hammond knew
her conjugations.
There we're others who thought
differently,
Members of both factions ad-
mitted, however. it had been a
long time since they were reciting
conjugations and they might be a
little rusty on that sort of thing.
It's d shame" declared Whedor
Our boys and girls can't go to
college from our high school with
out taking an examination. We
need better teachers here and I'm
going to fight this thing through"
-. F. MINISTER, principal of
Y. the high school, said Whe-
dons charges were absurd"
Miss Hammond is completing
her second year as teacher with
us and her services have been en-
tirely satisfactory. We are 60
ing to keep her another year"
Whedon brought similar
charges against another teacher
about five years ago, McMaster
recalled, but he was unsuccessful.
Miss Hammond graduated from
wellesley il 1926 and was one of
the first six in her class.
