Juror at Hamtramck High School
during an assembly program last
Thursday, when he jokingly re-

After the program, delegation
of students went to Mr.. Moriarity
and demanded an apology, but the
umpire said: This is free coun-
try, and l am at liberty to say what
] please, without dictation from any
one. His statement only increased
the Indignation of the students,
but teachers came to the rescue,
and restored tranquility.
A student committee, headed by
George Jackson, made a formal pro-

the school. Mr.. Conklin express
ed his sincere regrets that the in
cident occurred and so informed
Mr.. Moriarity in a letter to that
effect.
