FILES = SUIT AGAINST BOARD Claims Box Butte City is Ent School and that Waa Not Come pliea With, led te Law (From a Statf Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Neb., March 17.—(Special Tel- egram.)—Acting for the Commerecial club of Alllance, Ira E. Tash secured a tem- porary pestraining order late today to pre- vent the State Board of Education from proceeding with the construction of the Btate Normal school at Chadron. Judge Frost, who granted the temporary injunc- tion, set March 25 ms'the date upon which to hear argument for a permanent Injunc- tion. ‘The attorneys appearing for the merolal olub of Allfance are N. K. G:iggs of the Burlington rallway ‘and C. C. Flons- burg. Tt Is alleged fn the petition that the law under which the board acted is uncon- stitutional in thta the object of it Is not set out clearly in the title; that the law required that proposals for the new school be flled with the board within sixty days after the law became effective, town flled such proposal within the time limit; that the secretary and president of the board of trustees of the Chadron acad- emy had no right to make a deed to the | property which it is thought to turn over 9 the state, and that there is doubt of the title whith the state can secure to wound. To proseed with the bullding, the petition | sald, would necessitate the state getting into serious litigation In putting such ex- pense to the taxpayers. The Jaw which provided for the location of & new normal echool was enacted by the late democratic legislature, which also enacted a’'law which abolished the State Board of Education and created the State Normal Board of Education. Governor Bhallenberger appointéd five members of the Btate, Normal board, and then the con- stitutionglity ‘of the law was tested in the supreme court and'it was held to be in- vaMd. In ‘the “meantime, however, five towns which desired the normal school filed thelt proposals with the new board, Alllance belng'the only town to file with both boards. Before the case was declded the sixty days following the going into effect of the normal school. law had elapsed. The meeting of thé Schoolmasters’ club fo Omaha Friday hight promises to be of some {nterest, Inasmuch as an effort has been made to see to it that the State Nor- mal board s censured at that meeting for disobarging Principal Crabtree of the Peru Normal school. It is reported that a r representative of & publishiing house has been busy at work the mambers .of the club and that it 1s pfactically certain that the resolu- tlons of denunciation wil be adopted. Parties who are connected with this boog selling concérn have already busied thomaselves to see that the board selects a successor to Prinoipal Crabtree who will be as friendly to them has been the deposed principal.

ABERDEEN, 8. D., March 17.—(8pectal.) —The executive committee of the stalwart republican organisation, consisting of one committeeman from each ocounty, met at Aberdeen yesterday with John C. Bimmons, chairman of the committes. A number of candidates of that faction for state office were also present. Candldates and com- mitteemen expressed confidence in the out- come at the primary election in June, the general feeling being that the insurgents had committed a fatal error in placing R. 0.

Dr;:: stalwarts, in addition to attacking the alleged compact between Vessey and Richards, by which they clalm Richards, rather than Vessey, will be the real gov- ernor of South Dakota—the power behind the throne—if the progressives win, are also attacking the alleged extravagance of the present administration, which, it s/ charged, has spent over $L500,000 more | during the first year of its incumbency of the executive offices of the state than the | Eirod administration expended during nm‘ two years' term The progressives, however, are not at tempting to defend their alleged extrav gance. They simply “stand pat'' and claim the growth of the state demands the | increased cost of the state government, | which, they state, ls stlll lower, per capita, than that of any state of similar population. The campaign, so far, has been com- paratively free from the bitterness which characterized former factional contests within the party in South Dakota,.but both factions are nevertheless very much in rnest, and the fight will not be de cided until the ballots are counted in June.
