School Teachers Testified. Dr. F. C. Reed Defends the Superindendent., .Report Will Not be Ready Next Tuesday Night. The special committee of the Board of Education continue its investi gation into the affairs of the public schools. Friday night the witnesses exam ined were J. Asa Palmer, S: Emer son Findley, a teacher in the High sceool, Samuel Findley, former clerk of the Board of Education, Miss Adelaide M. McCague and Miss Mabel Brookman, both teachers in the Henry school. Prof. R. S. Thomas and Dr. F. C. Reed, his warmest supporter, cross examined witnesses. At times-ani- w onie of the testimony it is said was dam aging to Prof. H. S. Thomas. There is hardly any doubt but that a majority and a minority report will be made when the investigation iq finished. The result may be that the board will vote to have alLtbe testimony read before any action is taken. .. The exclusive report in friday's Democrat that damage cases were likely to be instituted against those who gave testimony has created an abundance of goss'p. It has since been reported that Prof. Thomas has said he had $5,000 to spend in the matter. Chas. B. Raymond, chairman of the Investigating Committee, says' the findings will not be ready by the meeting of the Board Tuesday next. Mr. Raymond said today: "We are now ready to receive from any citizen or interested person a brief written statement of any fact touching the conduct of our public schools, which they deem it proper for the. committee to investigate. It is requested that if charges be pre ferred that witness be named to sub stantiate them and that the com munication be filed at the earliest possible moment with any member of the committee."

Senator Alexander's Dis appointment. Denounced Hanna and Dick as Ingrates. Treachery In Summit County Delegation. Booming-Col. Geo. W. Sieber For State Senator. Senator J. Park Alexander realizes that he was thrown down because he was not favorable to the schemes of George B. Cox, of Cincinnati. He was sacrificed by Hanna to conciliate the Cincinnati boss. While the roll of counties was be ing called for Lieutenant Governor, and the returns were unfavorable "to the'Akron man, Senator Alexander remarked to a Republican delegate from Summit: "I have always been a friend to. Senator Hanna and Charley Dick and can't understand why they are turning me down: I guess I am get ting my pay for it now." This was not all he said. The Sen ator unbosomed himself freely to other friends after the convention. Some say that he was made a can didate for Lieutenant Governor so that he would be out of the fight for the State Senatorship. One delegate went sovfar as to say that if there had been any danger of his nomination Summit would not? have supported him. Some "of the delegates even" boasted after the recent county con vention that they did not consider themselves pledged to Mr. Alex ander. As soon as the delegation returned to Akron, in fact even before it left Columbus, Col. Geo. W. Seiber was selected as Summit's delegate to the State Senate. To a Democrat re porter today he admitted that he was a candidate. Some of his friends will confer with Senator Alexander and endeavor to have him withdraw. If he does not they will desert him for Col. Seiber anyway." The only Summit county delegate to vote for Daugherty on the last ballot was A. J. 'Rowley. He re turned to Akron with the Holeomb delegation from Cleveland. The trip to this city was made in three hours. - Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup is still in the lead. The people seem to like this old reliable cough medicine, and we don't blame them; it is the -best remedy for a deep seated cough or cold and will effect a cure in one day. REPP RELEASED.

LodgeWalsh, Company Laid Its Tracks. The grading on the Akron k Cuya hoga Rapid Transit Co's extension from the C.A.&C. tracks to Randolph Park lias been completed and a force of 60 men are now at work laying the track.

Walsh, president of the A.&C.F.R.T.Co.,and the C.A.&C. to restrain them from laying tracks on property recently bought by him, and which the local street railway people say was pur chased merely to shut them out of the extension. Friday night a large (fang of men were put to work, and 300 feet of the track laid over the territory not within the injunction; and they have also made arrangements to skip over that part of the territory in dispute. Very little, if -any, delay was occa sioned by the trouble, and the exten sion will be completed by next Wed nesday evening.

Prof. N. L. Glover delighted the audience with a vocal solo, "The Minstrel Boy."

Miss Elizabeth E. Perry, principal of the Normal training department of the High school, read a paper on "Present Educational Needs," show ing the necessity of trained teachers in the school room, and the better results of their work. Supt. R. S. Thomas' address to the class was brief, yet filled with perti nent words of advice regarding the great responsibility the graduate's would assume when they began the training of the young mind. He congratulated the members of the class upon their success as students, and predicted for each a useful and successful career. After a chorus, "The Daffodils" the diplomas, were conferred -to the graduates by Charles T. Inman, president of the Board of Education, and the pronouncing of the benedic tion by Rev. F. C.
