SCHOOL POSITION CAUSING TROUBLE

Petitions Being Circulated By Friends of Two Applicants.

LAMOTT IS INCUMBENT

Mrs. Rose Ladd Seeks the Place As Principal At Number 11.

Considerable controversy has been caused over the appointment of the principal of District School No. 11, located west of this city on the National road. Petitions are being circulated on the west side and among parents of children who attend the school indorsing Mrs. Rose Ladd, of this city, for the position. , The position Is now held by R. N. Lamott, who it was reported would resign this year. It was reported to County Superintendent Williams that Mr. Lamott gave the children of the school to understand that they would not be promoted unless they Indorsed his application for reappointment to their parents. It is said. It is further alleged by members of the school that Mr. Lamott asked all members of the school who were favorable for his return next term to stand. All children stood, though according to some they did so for fear of Incurring Lamott'a displeasure. ; Yesterday petitions wer circulated by the janitor ol the school at the suggestion of Lamott Indorsing him for reappointment. Many signers of the petition for Mrs. Ladd then' signed the petition for Lamott to show that they had ho ill feeling toward either. This morning and yesterday the telephone of County ' Superintendent Williams was kept busy asking htm what decision would be made In the case. Many of the signers of the petition for Lamott told Mr. Williams to pay no attention to their signatures. No decision has been made, as yet, and if persons signing the petitions continue to Indorse both, they will not have any Influence when the authorities make a decision. .Yesterday afternoon a patron of the school told -Superintendent Williams that if Lamott were appointed a re- . monstrance would be Jlled against him by the patrons of the school. It is said that the trouble was caused by children who had been disciplined by Mr. Lamott. One of those who remon- - strated against his reappointment for next year signed a petition for his appointment last . year. He told the officials ,he; was sorry he indorsed the teacher as he was unworthy, it Is said. ' -r .:- ..." -'." : ;;- - Trustee James Howarth said if the patrons of school wanted Lamott he wouldv be reappointed. He will be guided in his decision by the attitude of the patrons only, he says. MY. Howarth said Mr. Lamott had, acted indiscreetly though he believed . he was a capable teacher.

COURT RULES FOR APPEAL TO REASON Throws Out Case Charging Violation of Regulations of Post Office.

(National New Association) GIRARD. Kan., April 25. Federal Judge Pollock today sustained the demurrer, in the famous Leavenworth case of the Appeal to Reason, which practically puts an end to the prosecution. Fred D. Warren, J. A. Wayland, and C. L. Phifer of the Appeal editorial staff, had been Indicted for sending obscene matter through the mails in making an expose of conditions in the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas. Deputy . Warden Lemon was dismissed on the strength of the expose and a congressional probe sustained the charges made by the Appeal. J. J. Sheppard had brought suit against the federal prosecutor, Harry Bone, charging him with malicious prosecution. In the evidence taken by Sheppard, L. C. Chance, post office inspector, had stated he did not consider the Leavenworth expose a violation of the post office laws. Following this testimony came very quickly a decision of Judge Pollock's, throwing the case out of court. There is still an indictment against Eugene Debs, Warren and Sheppard for alleged attempt to spirit away a witness in the alleged obscenity case.
