While they worked, the names of all willing to circulate the petitions, insuring at least 5.000 petitioners, in eent Mayor Keller saw fit to refuse to require his appointees on the school board to submit to the terms of the res dutions. These 9o and more names were, by motion, appended to the petition to be presented to Mayor Keller today. The meeting adjourned subject to call of the chairman. Mr. Kidenour. The charges against Supt. Montgomery, made by Board Member Kupel to a News-Times representative lust Thursday, and published the following day. and which Mr. Bupel later confirmed by letter, photograph of which has also been published, will probably constitute the main points for the proposed tribunal's investigations. These charges were discussed quite at length at the meeting as reflecting upon both Supt. Montgomery's character and ability, with accompanying insinuations, which it wns asserted ought to be cleared up. "Both Mr. Kupel and Mr. Clem told 'no that thev knew nothing a-ajnst the character of Mr. Mont gomery." said Bev. i A. Uppin- : cott. addressing the meeting. "They J claimed to me that their reasons for dismissing Mr. Montgomery do not rtlort upon his personal character at all." Dr. Lipplncott was chairman of a eomrtittee from the Rotary club which sought an .audience with tMe school board members to learn the reasons for discharging Mr. Montgomery, which audience was refused the committee after it had at first heen promised them. Home C. Stephenson was another speaker of the eveninsr, who referred ;to the charges made by Mr. Uupel. land especially to the saving clause in the last sentence of his confirma tion, which is insinuative in the fact that it presumes the holding back of information which the hoard did not at the time care to discuss openly. The confirmation is reproduced later on. as a part of this report. The resolution? adopted, end tn plan of organizing the tribunal. with a statement of its powers, etc., were signed as follows: S. J.
