OF U. 5. FLAG
SUPREME COURT
UPHOLDS ACTION OF
SCHOOL BOARD IN ExPELL-
ING PUPIL

ATLANTA, May 14.-Tha
Georgia Supreme Court has up
held the action of the Atlanta
school board in expelling Dorothy
Leoles, IL, from city schools for
refusing to salute the United
States flag during patriotic exer-
cises.
"Saluting the United States
flag can by no stretch of the
imagination be regarded as a re-
ligious rite" the Supreme Court
ruled. at is a gesture of patriot
ism signifying respect for the Am
erican government and its institu.
tons and ideals.
''Where a pupil absolutely and
continuously refuses to salute the
United States flag, the privileges
extended such child of a free edu-
cation may be withdrawn and the
child may be expelled"

In connection with the propos-

funding OF Monroe county and
the bond situation as found by
the subcommittee appointed by
the House of Representatives,
Representative B. C. Papy, who
was the member to introduce the
bill, forwarded to The Citizen a
copy OF the findings, which is re.
produced herewith.
The report is addressed to Hon.
George E. Holt, chairman of the
committee on resolutions and is
signed by Representative A. B.
Buie. chairman, of Marion coun-
ty; r. F. Skies, of Okaloosa coun-
ty and G. P. Wood, of Liberty

investigation.
The report follows:
we, the undersigned Sub-Com-
mittee appointed to investigate
the purchase or non-purchase Of
bonds with the gasoline funds.
pursuant to House Resolution No.
80, beg leave to report that while
the Resolution covered the entire
State of Florida, we were given
to understand at the Committee
hearing, that we were to invcsti-
gate only the purchases or nom
purchases by the Board Of Admin
istration, Of the bonds of Monrca
County, and we have confined our
investigation to that County only.

The states claim is for licenses
which the receiver for the defunct
bank has refused to pay, claiming
that the national banks exemp-
ton from licenses extended to
any business that the bank might
operate on the side.
Comptroller Lee, who has been
negotiating to collect these hcens-
es, was forced to act suddenly and
levy on the property in order to
protect the states interest in the
claim, which since it covers Ii
eenses, could not be held against
the purchaser as would be the case
were the ad valorem taxes delin-
quent.

in April, 1884, and had been OPP
Grating under the Hammer Act
continuously since that time; that
on July 1, 1888, there were So
740,0 900 in road and bridge BOMBS
outstanding with $3.50. GS2.50
in outstanding interest coupons.
"We further find that since
that time, there has been S724,-
164.07 available with which 10 buy
bonds, and that there were pur-
chased $4,000 worth Of bonds
under the Hammer Act, at an
average price OF 47.13.
1.-THE market price of the bonds
when the Hammer Act was adopt
ed, was 81, and the prevailing
market price of the C0unty's
bonds at this time is 74l4 and IN
tersst, an average o. which would
be little OF 50.5.
From a discussion with the
State Treasures office and a
check of the records, we are con-
strained to say that it was through
no fault of the State Board Of
Administration that the bonds
were not purchased at lower r.
cure than they were, but our In.
vestigation leads us to the con-
clusion that it was mainly the
fault of the Board of County
Commissioner o. Monroe County,
who either failed or refused 70
recommend purchase when the
bonds were at a much lower r.
cure than they are today.
eve therefore recommend that
the Resolution be reported UNI
favorably.
"All OF which was respectfully
submitted.

OBSERVANCE OF
JEWISH HOLIDAY
BEING PLANNED
SPECIAL SERVICES WILL BE
CONDUCTED AT LOCAL
SYNAGOGUE IN coNNEc
TIoN WITH EVENT

Shovuos, the Feast OF Weeks
or Pentecost, will be observed by
the Jewish people this week. The
holiday begins tomorrow evening
and is celebrated for two days by
Orthodox Jews and for one day
by Reform Jews.
Special services in connection
with this celebration viii be held
at the local synagogue, corner ST.
monitor and Southland streets, by
Rabbi Joseph Male.
Rejecting the two-fold origin
OF the holiday, synagogues viii be
decked with green branches and
flowers and the Ten Command
ments will be read in the syna-
gogue service. In Reform Jewish
congregations boys and girls will
be confirmed in the Jewish faith.
The greenery represents the
spring harvest festival character
of the Feast of Weeks, while the
other features OF the holiday are
in recognition of the fact that
Shovuos is the traditional season
of the giving of the "Torah," or
law, on Mount Sinai.
Shovuos, which literally means
weeks, takes its name from the
fact that it is celebrated a week
of weeks, that is, seven weeks
after Passover. Greek-speaking
Jews more than two thousand
years ago gave the holiday the
name "Pentecost" because Of the
fifty days counted from the sec
ond evening of Passover to the
Shovuos festival.
The holiday is one of the
''three pilgrim festivals" of the
Bible and in olden days was the
occasion for the bringing of the
offerings OF first-fruits and of
grain to the Temple in Jerusalem.
The agricultural significance OF
the holiday is SCENTED by the
reading of the Book of Ruth,
with its idyllic scenes of husbandry
and harvesting. The book also
sounds a universalistic message in
its story wherein Ruth, nom
Jawess, became the ancestress Of
the beloved figure of King David.
When the Reform Synagogue
introduced the rite of Confirma-
ton for Jewish youth, Pentecost,
by virtue of its traditional associar
ton with the ancient revelation,
was the day most naturally select
ed.
Through an impressive public
ceremony, young boys and girls,
having heen taught the meaning
of the Jewish faith and the duty
of leading religious and moral
life, accept this faith as did their
ofrefathers at Mount Sinai.

Dead Infant Found on Ice---Coroner's s
 Jury Is Convened

Today at 2:3O pm. a Coroner's jury was impaneled by U. s. Com missioner Tanner, to investigate the finding of dead infants body on the shore ice close to the Nome beach at the East end of town. The testimony developed by Coroner Tanner and the jury established the fact that the little body was found partially wrapp- ed in women's clothing, in the center of large dump short distance from the beach.
 A young native boy Louis Oz- una, while rummaging through the dump discovered the body. He related his discovery to an older boy, Mathew Thomas, who in turn went to the police station with the news. Chief Laws im- mediately investigated, placed the small body in a box and noti- fled the coroner.
 Dr. Thomas Morcom informed the jury that in his opinion the child was approximately 6 mon- thS old, weight 3 to 3l2 pounds, of male gender, and prematurely born. Examination showed no marks of violence. Dr. Morcom stated that prematurely born bab. ies of this age had very little, if any, chance of survival. When quered by Coroner Tanner as to racial characteristics, the doctor stated that all babies of the age of this one, reveal similar out ward characteristics, and that it would require the use of scien- tific apparatus, none of which is available here, to determine the baby's racial ancestry. Dr. Mor- com also testified that it would be nearly impossible to deter mine the length of time since birth, due to ice and snow pre-
