Mayor Smith may go before Magis

by Magistrate i arson at the Instanc"
of Otto T. Mnllery. a director of the

The letter of resignation of Mrs. Ed
ward W. Bltldle. refusing the Mayor's
appointment to one of the vacancies
mado by the resignation of three mem
beis of the old board, scjs forth her
reasons for not ncceptlng the place. Mrs,
Blddle said:
"Since accepting a few days ago ap

of the Board of Education, I find n
terlous difference of opinion exists
among members of the Chic Club con
cerning my action. I happen at the

"Many years of work in the Inter

such withdrawal will cauto no lncop-

much as I have not yet taken my seal."
Mrs. Blddle said that It Is unlikely
