Miss Dwyer Submits Her Case on Charge of Severely Beating Pupil. s Mrs. Rebecca Greenan, who was dis- missed from her position as principal of the John W. Taylor School after a trial, appeared before the Board of Education yesterday in behalf of her petition that her case be reopened in order that she might be given an opportunity to refute the charges upon which she was dis- missed from the School Department. Rev. Fathers Smith and Gallagher have interested themselves in the effort made by Mrs. Greenan to obtain a rehearing and were present to assist her in the en- deavor. The charges against Mrs. Green- an, which a formér Board of Education, | of which Director Mark was a member, ruled had been proved, were read and Mrs. Greenan entered a specific denial to | each of them. To offset the charge of in- | competency Mrs, Greenan produced a let- ter from Superintendent of Schools Web- | ster testifying to her efficiency as a teacher. Regarding the charge that she had closed her school at 2 o'clock p. m. | in order to attend the races, Mrs. Greenan | | stated that she had permission from the | Board of Education to do so and ako to open the school at 9 a. m. because she | lived four miles away from a car line, | Mrs. Greenan blamed Mrs. Burnett, jan- | itress of the school, with having caused her to get in trouble and she accused Mrs. | Burnett with having one day closed the school on a forged order, which explained | | Black Silks: White Prices.

A decree of divorce was granted me late Saturday afternoon in Los Angeles on the sround of descrtion. Friday Luddy was in this city, staying at the Palace, and tele- graphed e a long message In response to one | sent by me notifying him of the divorce find- ings. In his telegram he Implored me to withdraw the suit. I was glad to get rid of | him and signed a paper waiving all claim to | community property and allmony | Luddy and I were married—well, it don't matter where or when. Suffice it to say that we lived for some time at Wheeler Hot Springs in a cottage known to everybody in that locality as “‘Luddy villa.”" A few weeks ago he left me, after we had agreed to separ- ate. 1 realized that I could not afford to remain as a guest at the springs, although the proprietor was anxious that I should. He | finally gave me employment and It was there | that T met Archie Van Curen, the bookkeeper, under whom I worked. When the season be- | gan to draw to a close I did most everything, | even going into the kitchen to wash dishes. | I like that kind of work. In this confiding manner Miss Flem- | ing continued to tell of her life in South- | ern California, but her story was so dis- | Jjointed at timés that it was hard to de- termine just where she had been located | and efforts to straighten it out were not | particularly successful, for she was averse to discussing certaln perlods of her nast. INTERESTED AS A FRIEND. She refused point blank to tell where or under what conditions she had mar- ried Luddy. Asked as to whether there were any grounds for the suspiclon that she is soon to marry Van Curen, she re- plied: : I don't know. Tn fact T could not expect to marry him for twelve months, for the law prohibits a divorcee from marrying within t time. To be frank I have not made up my mind what I will do. I may go to 'Alaska, possibly to Spokane, where I formerly lived. or back to Richmond, which Is my old home. As to the references in yesterday’s tele- gram to the effect that Luddy is a well known capitalist in Los Angeles, the woman who claims to have been his wife said that he was formerly a saloon keep- er, but had accumulated property and had money enough on which to enjoy life lefsurely. Van Curen, when seen yesterday at the Russ, said he is on his way to the Klon- dike. Regarding Miss Fleming he said he had become interested in her while she was employed at the springs. He denied that an clopement had been planned and that Miss Fleming and he are engaged. According to a dispatch from Ventura Luddy and Miss Fleming were secretly married in SBanta Barbara two years ago. Another dispatch from Los Angeles says there is no record of the Luddy divorce there. . —_— e, Is the reconstruction of the Geary- street railway a civic necessity, in view of the fact that the road is now in first- class condition?

While off the coast of San Luis Obispo the prisoner hit Ward over the | head with a water glass and ‘attempted to | swim ashore. He was easily recaptured. The Deputy Sheriff died from the wounds inflicted by Ross and the latter was tried, convicted and sentenced for murder in San Luis Obispo County. The State Su- preme Court affirmed the judgment.
