DALY CONSIDERING MACLEOD'S CASE Membe:s of the Investigating Committes Hold Their First Scssion, WHAT WAS ACCOMPLITHED LAST EVENING YA Fall Attendance and Free Discassion of the Matter Question of Authority Settied —Stenographers Employed to Re- port the Trial—fates Adopted. A meeting of the committee appointed the Poard of Education to investigate the sMicial acts of Samuel Macleod, suverinten snt of buildings, was held last ovening Mossrs. Axin, Duryea, Picrson and Thomas »f the committer, Messrs. Morrison and I3\ rutter representing the committee of the soard on buildings and property and M Burgess of the board were present Bids were opened for doing the steno rraphic work that would be requived, and the job given to Boyles & Babb, the lowest vidders A long dfscussion then follo the committes should proceed general omnion of the members the statute they w A3 a court, but Mr. das to how It was the that under a court and should siv Igutter desired that something mora specific bo laid down, He said that the commiitee on buildings and property had certain charges to make against the ofMicial conduct of the superin- tendent, but before those charges were filed 1t wanted to know ucder what rules the Investigation would be conducted, how testi- mony would be introduced, how witnesses would be examined, and whether each side would be allowed counsel Dr. Duryea said that inasmuch as the committee would sit as a court. the rules of evidence as followed in o court of law should be adhered to. The attorney of the board should uct as o legal assistant of the investigating committee and should cross- examine witnesses, and the superintondent. of buildings should request the aid of coun- sel and the committee should give it to him. This was not entirely satisfactory to Mr. Morrison, who stated that a criminal pro- ceeding was not contemplated. The mem- bers of the committee should sit as business men Lo determine whether or not an em- ploye of the board had performed his duty properly. He believed that if strict legal rules were adopted much important testimony might be ruled out on techaicalities. Ho thought the com- mittee tvould not go amiss in adopting tho method of procedure emploved by the city council in conducting the Furay investig tion. Mr. Thomas said® it would bo the aim of the committee to go to the bottow of the wmatter, and rules would bo adopted that would be fair to all parties and would not exclude evidenco that the committee snhould have. Dr. Duryen's Idea. Dr. Duryea said that the committce on bulidings und property might huve presented to the Board of Fducation in ex- eoutive session any facts in its possession soeming to reflect on the superintendent of buildings. The superintondent might then have been called in and results reached that would determine the action of the board; but now charges had been made public in. the newspapers, and Mr. Macleod, brought into this plight, had asked an investization. Now 1f the committee did not proceed in the regular way people might say in vhe end that Macleod was not properly acquitted or properly convicted, as the case mignt bo. It had also been charged that the committee had been made up by the president in par- tiality to Macleod, and ad, indeed, been denounced as a committee bre- determined to whitewash. Therefore he thought that the commitiec should put itself in such a position that its verdict when found should have all the value and weight of a verdict of a legal court. If the charges hud been made in executive session he would agree with Morrison as to the kind of rules that should be adopted for the ad- mission of évidence, but now it was a more serious matter. While not partial to Mac- leod and while he might in the opinion of some people be justified indeed in striking back at Macleod for certain zealous work that he did in the ranks of u certain secret society to the cna of defeating Dr. Duryea as a candidate for membership on the school bourd, still the doctor con- tended that Macleod’s case should not be tried in the newspapers nor made a caso of whitewash. Therefore, strict rules should be adopted. At first Dr. Duryea was not in favor of drawing up rules for the conduct of the investigation until charges had been pre- ferred. Queation of Authority Discussed. At this point & remark made by somebody raised the question whether the committee under its instructions from the board was empowered to render a verdict. Mr. Elgut- ter stated that it was to make a finding only respecting the facts, leaving the board to determine the verdict. He was reminded by Mr. Thomas that this was voted down by the board and that the committee was empowered to render a verdiet, Mr. Akin said that he was not certain what rules would be adopted. He oxpected to have the attorney of the board at hi right hand during the taking of testimony but who should act as prosecuting attorney had not entered his mind, Mr, Morrison then wanted to know whother the charges would be considered as coming from the committee on buildings and prop- erty or from the board through that commit- tee, or whether the attorney of the board would act on behalf of the board. If "they should be considered as coming from the committee how would it get an attorney? These inquiries brought into prominence a estion that had been overlooked and con- roing which the committee was for a time in great doubt, and that was what attitude those making ch; s were in and what a! titude the committee was in respecting both Macleod and those making charges against Jhim, A reference to the request of Macleod for an investigation showed that it called for an investigation of his official acts, not of any specific charges that had been made. proted by Dr. Duryea, meant that at Macleod's own invitation the Jboard had bocome his prosecutor, though the ‘prosecution should be an amicablo one, and now the committee acting for the board might invite any membors of the board pres- ‘ont to furnisk 1t with information respect- ing alleged improper conduct on Macleod's rt. lml\ll' Akin suggested the question whether Macleod by asking voluntarily for an fuy tigation did not throw himself on the board for protection, which it wus bound to extend, 80 that it was uot a prosecutor, but those wero prosecutors who mude churges, Dr. Duryea thought not. If Macleod had ‘kept still, then those piessing charges against him would be in the attitude of presccutors, but by askiug for an investiga- tion he had relieved the committee on build- ings und property of responsibility for the charges and its members could now be called on simply us the assistants of the board in gettg at the fucts, As Members and Not as Individuals. Mr. 3'~utter and M Morrison gave the committeo oxpressly to understand .at this point that they had as iodividuals wo oharges Lo make against Macleod. As mem- bers of the committce on buildings and prop- erty they were ready to submit some facts teading to show that” Macleod was an un- faithful servant of the board—facts not to be urged by thew personally, but to be investi- gated by tho board and i the namo of tho Dr, Duryea then moved that, in view of the duty laid on the committee by the board, It invite the committee ov buildings und property to furnish any facts in its posses- sion, 80 that the commitiee might get at them and report to the board Mr. Elgutter said that the committee, be- fore charges were preferrod, wanted o know :::ar what rules the investigation would be Mr. Thomas thought that had been talked over sufticiently for Mr. Elgutter 1o get the ldea. aur. Elgutter then submitted a set of rules similar 1o those used at the city council in- vestigation. They stipulated that the - vestigation should be iy the nawe of the Board of Education regarding the oficial acts of Macleoa; that charges should be made and then a reply, and then twenty-four hours be given for those complaining to make amended charges. ‘hen evidence on both sides should be lntroduced, either siae TE¥: TUREN having the rizht to question and cross- examine; and the sessions should b opsa ty he pubiie. Adopted the Ra es. Mr. Thomas was opposed to tha adoptiod of these rales. He balioved chirges should be preferred before rules were adoptel, A other objection was that theattorncy fo Macleod had not had an opportunity to so the rules. He further contenied that the investigation should not run in the name of the board regarding the acts of Macleod and he declared that it was not fair for the com- nittee to adopt rules drawnup by those making the charges Mr. Pierson was inclined to take Thomas’ view of the matter, but when both Mr. Elgutter and Mr. Morrison said that unless les woro adoptea no charges would be made nor would they bounless the proceed- ings against Macleod ran in the name of the board, D Duryea, who had from the first considered the rules faw, urged that | every reasonabie concession should be made *0 those ready to furnish information, and Mr. Pierson said that with a little reluctance hie would vote to adopt the rules. Mr. Akin found no fault with the rules, believing them to be in conformity with the instructions given the committee by the board, and they were at length adopted, Mr, THomas alone voting no for the reasons befora given. ‘Then Messrs, Elgutter and_Morrison filed the charges, which are practically identical with those réad by the committee on build- ings and property ata late meeting of the board and published in Trne Bre. A copy of them will bo handed to Mr. Macleod today and his reply will boin the handsof the committee next Monday might. The next day the taking of testimony will bogin, ——— STATE LABJR CONGRESS, Treparations Completed for a Federation Nebraska lndustrial Organizations.

John Cox was arrestel Saturday afternoon and some of the stolen goods found in his house. Today Depu Sheriff Slonecker of Soward county arrived in Lincoln with two more of the fellows whom ho had captured in that county under circumstances which preclude n doubt of their guilt. They give their names as Willlam Waltersand Larsh Fender. Both men live in Seward and both seomed to spring from poverty to comparative afiiu- ence within a day or so after rest. Deputy Sherift Slonecker found two suits of cast-off clothing 1n a de- serted house in the suburbs of Seward and in looking through the pockets found some letters which proved vhat they .haa formerly been worn by the men under ar- rest. He also found out that the new clotn- ing worn by the men corresponded with some that had been stolen from the store at Malcolm. He accordingly placed them under est. Both udmitted their guilt to him, but when they were arraigned in county possible | | court today both followed the advice of an attorney and utered a plea of not guilty. The police 180 received word from Te- cumseh today that two men named Ham scott and Adams were under arrest there for the burglary of Loder & Son's store last Thursday night. They were captured with some of the stolen goods in their possession. Mr. Loder this afternoon failed to inden- tify thé goods as those taken from his store but was of the opinion the men were con- nected with the same gang and the probable ones that robbed the storé at Malcolm the same nig ht.

Mrs. Eck, the propriotress of the hotel, awoke to the roalization yester- day morning that she had been robbed of a watch and $25 in monoy. Suspicion pointed to Polski and she had him arrested. Frank Hubbard, not the farm boss of the insane asylum, buta weary wanderer, who claimed to be &' full-blooaed Apache Indian, was arraigned in police court this morning on the charge of attempting to defraud a local hotel keeper of the price of his board and lodgings. He claimed to bea ward of the govert.ment and that he was expecting money trom Washington by every mail. He was roleased on his promise o roturn to_ his reservation. C. H. Freeman, the consort of a woman known to the police as Sadie Freeman, was before the court today on the charge of frequenting a place of ill-repute.

[Special to Tre B, ]—In about two weeks, or perhaps less, tho wheels in the Oxi su| tory at this point will coass to go a ad mon L bo put to work cloaning up the ma- chinery and putting it in shapo tor a long rest. ‘Tho last beets cntered the west end of tho factory this morniag and the last sugar will come out of the cast ond i about two woeks. Noo that it takes so long to manufacture the sugar from the time the beet enters and is ground up, but a lot of syrup romaining over from last yoar will yet bo made into sugar. Big Yield of Sugar. Mr, Howe says the output this vear will be about 19,000 sacks, or 1,900,000 pounds. This will be over 200,000 pounds less than last year. The decrease in manufacture is owing to the fact that the farmers raised less boots this year than in any previous year. Only acres_wore furnishod by farmers this soason. Mr. Loavitt, who is 10 all intents and purposes & farmer, but who devotes nearly all his time to beet calture, raisod 432 acres and the Oxnard company raised 1,185 acres. The Norfolk factory, on the other hand, will not stop its wheels until_some time in February. Toe favmers 10 that vicinity, it s sad, take hold of the new industry with much greater vim. and whero Hall county’s agriculturists raise 225 acres the farm aoing business near Norfolk raise 1, acres. Better Frospects Next Year. Mr. Howe, however, believes that a turn- ing point in the matter has come. lue correspondent was shown a table of con- tracts for 1804 in which ave found the names of some who have in the past been crying the industry down an®*ridiculing it. Somo of Hall county's influential Gorman farmers are also interesting themselves in the matter and it is confidently behieved that next season the factory will bo able to make a much longer run. The Steppans process of extracting from syrup will be put in if the farmers take hold of the matter and this will en- able the manufacture of wmuch more of tho remaining syrup than is now possible. The factory at Norfolk has this process in vogue and is for that r son, combined with the greator interest the farmers there have in the cuiture of beets, en- abled to put out more than twice the amount of sugar thav the Grand Island factory yields. ‘I'he latter has been running day and night since October i1, sugar SURANDMOTHER PAUL' DEAD, End of a Notable Career on Roservation Prxper, Neb..
