MpEADS mm\f£ not ■Pit posts AsSpmt Superintendents and Others Are Accused of Disloyalty. Assistant superintendents and other Indianapolis school officials under fire of the school board Wednesday afternoon when charges of disloyalty were made, today declared they had no intentions of resigning. Joseph P. 'Thornton and D. T. Weir, assistant superintendents, declared they would investigate charges before making any statement. Murraj A. Dalman, director of research, refused to make any statement. No Names Mentioned While no names were mentioned when charges were made of disloyalty to the board and Superintendent Charles F. Miller by Charles W. Kern, board member, it was understood he referred to the assistant superintendents, Dalman and Clyde C. Rickes, purchasing agent. After board meeting, when asked to whom he referred, Kern said: “It starts next to Miller and goes on down the line in the educational department.” Kern declared Miller should ask for certain resignations if loyalty of those under him is not assured immediately. He brought up the subject with criticism of purchasing methods, declaring that frequently advertisements are placed for articles requisitioned by various departments and the first the board knows of the matter is when bids are submitted. “Then the board is told the supplies are needed immediately and there is no time for investigation,”. Kern said. He charged Miller and the board are not receiving proper cooperation and loyalty, declaring Just prior to opening of school and to Miller taking office a number of teachers were transferred without knowledge of the board, causing much dissension and dissatisfaction. Kern declared he believed this was done to create dissension and to embarrass Miller and board members. May Discharge Leaders Board President Theodore F. Vonnegut and Mrs. Lillian Sedwick indorsed Kern’s statements. Opinion that the superintendent had power to regulate the number of assistant superintendents and could discharge those now employed was expressed by Vonnegut. Resolution for borrowing $500,000 from the Shortridge High School building bond fund, subject to approval of the State board of accounts Jjnd the tax board, was adopted. The money will be used to tide the schools over until the December settlement of taxes. 2 DAYS FOR CONTEMPT Negro Sentenced for Trying to Change Testimony of Child.

SYNOPSIS Nancy was pretty, a GAGE, and a blue-blood even though she did live on the other side of the railroad tracks. So when Raymond Hollandsbee. member of one of the most exclusive families lr. town and Nancy’s ardent suitor, departed for college with an understanding. Nancy’s mother was pleased. But Nancy just couldn’t help falling In love with handsome Eric Nelson, whom she had met at Edith Harcourt’s, a rich school chum. She is forced to tell Raymond of her change of heart when he returns home for the Christmas holidays. Her mother Is displeased with her attachment for Eric. CHAPTER XII. The morning after Christmas Amanda Gage faced her daughter with tear-reddened eyes and an air of heart-broken resignation. “There’s no use my saying any more," she sighed. “You’re a Gage, and you’ll have your own way in spite of everything." “That’s a sensible darling. After all, I’m of age and it’s my own life. If I make a mistake . . . “How soon are you planning to be married, Nancy?” “Well, you see, we thought . . . Oh, mother, you’ll be horrified, I suppose, but we want to be married the first of May.” Amanda’s knees collapsed. She sank into a chair. “Don’t be tragic about it, mother, Think how nice it will be for me to be living in the same town with you instead of flying off to the city, as most daughters do. Eric thought we’d rent the Postlewaite cottage. You know, that’s in a lovely neighborhood.” But Amanda was far from evincing any enthusiasm “All right. I’m not going to fight it. If I do, you’ll probably run away.” Nancy’s flash of color confirmed the truth of this supposition. ‘‘What kind of a wedding are you going to have?” “The simplest kind possible. No one but you and dad and Eric’s mother, if she should decide to come.” “Where does she live?" inquired Amanda, dourly. “Minneapolis. They have always lived together until Eric came out here.” Amanda said no more. Her attitude was plainly aggrieved, but she made no further attempt at interference. With her husband on Nancy’s side, she realized the futility of opposition. Within the week Nancy was wearing an engagement ring. “It’s gorgeous,” she cried. “I think it’s darling of you to give it to me.” “Isn’t it the customary thing to do?” Eric smiled. Sho caught his hand between hers. “Everything you do seems nicer than anyone else could do it.” “That’s because you see me in a glamour of romance. After we’ve been married a couple of years “You haven’t any faith in my love at all,” she pouted. “Sweetheart, I have. I only wish you didn’t idealize me. I’m just an ordinary everyday man.” “But you aren’t,” she insisted. “You’re different.

you made me think of a Viking on a rolling ship.” “Foolish little dreamer,” he murmured, kissing her. She threw her arms around his neck. "Don’t wake me up, then? Let me keep my dreams • * Golden days followed. It was no longed difficult to put in time. Her practice was neglected while she made lists of the things she would need. Nancy was surprised and touched when her father gave her a check. “There are lots of things I haven’t done for you,” he explained. “But I want you to have whatever you need now.” Nancy replenished her wardrobe with a discernment which would have pleased her grandmother. And she wrote her a note, explaining that she was marrying the “finest man in the world. I wouldn’t anyone I would be ashamed to introduce as your grandson. He’s wonderful, grandmother.” The girl was rapturous with love and pride. She exhibited her fiance as if he were a foreign prince. And her friends put up with it partly from loyalty to Nancy and partly because they really liked Eric Nelson. There was something dependable about him, and inherent firmness and self-control which seemed to inspire confidence. During the remainder of the holidays, he was invited everywhere as Nancy’s escort. When they saw her ring some of the girls were fiankly envious. ’‘He’s a peach, Nancy. What a beautiful ring. ... It must be thrilling to have such a handsome man in love with you.” Even Edith Harcourt’s manner had changed. Bhe announced that she was “tickled pink” over her friend’s engagement. “I helped make this match,” she said, publicly. “They met in my home. And I insisted that he take her home that first night. Give me credit.” Eric smiled, and Nancy, rather admiring the girl’s bold front, cr.ed.

“Indeed we do. Edith has been the little mutual friend.” Edith’s grateful glance pleased her. Much nicer to be the one granting favors than the one who must receive. Supposing she had been forced to congratulate Edith? The very thought made her feel cold and ill. She told herself it would have “killed” her to see him engaged to any other girl. A week later Eric explained that his mother was coming to California.” “Coming for our wedding, you mean?” “No,” he said, “mother has decided to move out here. She has missed me so much. We’ve always lived together, you know.” “You can’t live with her now.” “Not after we are married,” he agreed. “I can then, of course.” A chill seemed to sweep across Nahcy’s heart. "Where are you going to live?” “There’s a little house a couple of blacks from here.” * “Not below the tracks?” “My dear, why not? Mother has very simple tastes. She wouldn’t be happy in a Ritzy neighborhood." He_added, “You live below the tracks, Nancy.” “Not from choice,” she retorted bitterly. “I’m afraid mother won’t be satisfied any place,” he worried. “She has lived in Minneapolis for so long. I suggested that she close her home there and make me a visit to see how she likes it. But she is too good e. Swede for that. She has sold the house and shipped the furniture.” Nancy wished he would not insist bn speaking of himself as a Swede. It gated on her some way. . . . But she said nothing. There seemed nothing for her to say.

“Sweetheart,” he begged, “this isn’t going to make any difference?” With an effort, Nancy threw off her depression. “Os course not,” she smiled. “You must bring her to see me as soon as she comes. . . .
