Dr. Krctl Clowlng, has been up-State attending the deathbed of one brother rind tho sickbed of another entirely unconscious, ho said this afternoon, of the fracrfs that his speedy election to tho prlnclpalshlp of tho Girls' High School as Miss Katharlno 13. Pun cheon's successor caused. Miss Puncheon resigned becauso she Is soon to bo married. Her resignation did not go through tho hands of Dr. John P. tlnrber, Superintendent of Schools, but was kept secret from him. as well as from l)r, Hdward Martin, member of the Hoard of education. Out ot this secrecy and tho so-called "railroading" of Doctor Rowing Into tho ofllce, without consideration of other capable candidates, grew tho quatrel be tween Doctor Martin and Simon Giatz. and other members of tho Hoard, whom Doctor Martin1 nccused of electing Doctor (lowing purely on the grounds of personal friendship. Back in his office In tho Stephen Glrard Building today. Doctor Gowlng expressed his total Ignorance not only of the contro versy, but also of any previous knowledge of his election before that event took place. "I had no Idea of Miss Puncheon's resig nation," he said. "I did not know that I had been nominated to succeed her. 1 did not een know that I had been elected until Mrs, Gowlng called mo on the long distance one night when I was In Scranton at tho Hotel Casey. "So, as I haen't had time to go Into this fuss nnd don't know what It Is all about, I shan't comment on It. Hut"." he added whimsically, "If anybody bellees that I, am merely a book agent, he Is mis taken. 1 am n classicist. 1 have had a classical education, and 1 am prepared to carry out the Ideals and traditions that hac been- in oguc at the Girls' High School. Howeer, 1 haven't een accepted the job yet." "Hut you aro going to?" hem-as asked. "The natural presumption Is that I shall," he replied. "Docs that mean that you will resign your position with the D. C. Heath Publishing Company?" "The natutal presumption Is that I shall," he reiterated. In the meantime the "fuss" was further augmented by a charge of untruth on the part of Doctor Martin mado by Thomas Shallcross, member of tho Hoard ot Kduca tlon and one of Doctor Gowlng's supporters. Mr. Shallcrobs referred to tho accusation mado by Doctor Martin that Miss Puncheon had conspired with Mr. Gratz In keeping secret her resignation, an accusation that Doctor Martin tetractcd yesterday after visiting Miss Puncheon. Mr, Shallcross spoke heatedly. "I know that Doctor Martin Is himself an educator of wide reputation," he said. "I fully recognlzo his high position In the scientific world, but I cannot help saying, In spito ot tha distinction that lie enjoys, that ho spoke an untruth. I cannot say It too emphatically. He spoke an untruth. Whether it was due deliberately or not I do not know. "The best proof of the fact that Doctor Martin was wrong when ho nccused me nnd other members of tho Hoard of Kducatlon of conspiring with Miss Puncheon, Is the fact that he wrote to Miss Puncheon, re tracting his charges." Doctor Martin is a brother of Judge .7. Wllljs Martin, president of Common Pleas Court No. 6. Ho was formerly Director of the Department of Health and Charities and has for many years occupied tho chair in genito-urlnary surgery in tho medical school of tho University of Pennsylvania.
