WAVERLY SCHOOL CASE
Called Up in Equity Court on Pinal
Hearing.
MANY WITNESSES EXAMINED
Arguments Mndo by Attorneys A. A, Vo's
burg and II. M. Ilunnuh-I'lulntlffs
Arguments Will Ho Heard Today.
Franklin Avenue Caso Heard,
Before Judge Edwnrds In equity court
yesterday morning the Injunction pro
ceedings of George R Stevenson against
Professor I C. Hunyoii, principal of the
Waverly graded school, nnd N. C,
Muckey, J. L. Stone, Lester Stone and
John Hall, members of the Waverly
school board, entile up for final hear-
In. The court Is asked by the plaintiff
to prevent ithe rending of tho Bible and
the holding of what he believes to be
sectarian religious exercises prior to
the opening of school each day.
The case has aroused great interest.
and there was a large delegation of
Waverly men and women In the court
room nil day who listened with great
Interett to the proceedings and the ar
guments of the array of legal talent.
Attorneys Ilulslaiider and Vosburg, H.
M. Hannah nnd A. D. Dean represent
the defendants, and Attorney K. C.
Newcomb and Attorney John P. Kelly
the plaintiffs. After the case had been
opened the plaintiff, Mr. Stephenson,
was called to the stand und gave his
testimony.
Cause of the Trouble.
He said thnt on March 1 he visited
the Waverly graded school and was
present during the opening exercises.
There are three rooms In the building
but the pupils of ull met in Professor
Hunyon's room for the morning ex
ercises. On the day he was present the
scholars sang a hymn which was writ
ten on slips of puper, the first line of
which wns, "We shall never say good
bye in Heaven." A reading from the
King James version of the Iilblo fol
lowed, and then the thirty-second
Psalm was read in a responsive way.
Next a hymn was sung from the
"Happy Hours" four book, after which
the first Psalm was repeated by the
teachers and pupils in concert.
John C. Mahoney, 17 years of age, a
pupil of the school, was the second wit
ness, and testified that the order of
opening exercises were usually as testi
fied to by Mr. Stephenson. They fre
quently were requested to sing, "We
Shall Never Say Good-Bye In Heaven"
and "Bringing In the Sheaves." Last
December Rev. Mr. Thomas visited the
school and at the request of Professor
Hanyon made an address. He spoke
on religion and asked thoae who -were
followers of Jesus to hold up their
hands. Those who fulled to oo so were
urged to reform at the earliest moment
posslbls.
Muhoncvs Made C miplnints,
Rev. -Mr. Broe also visited the school
and addressed the pupils by request of
Professor Hanyon. He spoke on the
necessity of knowing that the future
lives of the pupils depends, on their edu
cation. Witness and hi3 parents ob
jected to the form of worship indulged
in at the school and lodged a complaint
with Mr. Stephenson. On cross-examination
Mr. .Mahoney said that It was
the custom of Professor Hanyon to in
vite all visitors to address the school.
On one occasion Father Drlscoll called
and was asked to speak. He said he
did not want to urge his convlotinns on
the pupils, but would like to tell them
the meaning of the cross.
Andrew Mahoney, father of the pre
vious witness, said that himself and
wife objected to the exercises in the
school because they did not think that
the proper place to Impart religious in
struction. Rev. D. N. Vail is an old
school Baptist parson and a member of
the school board. He declared that he
was opposed to the religious exercises
and after he heard of the visit of cer
tain clergymen to the school, he drew
up a resolution and presented It to the
hoard, forbidding any person to ad
dress the pupils on religion or politics.
Misses Sadie and Sophia Mahoney
enumerated the songs sung In opening
the school and the general character of
theexercises. Miss Cora Relph, one of
the teachers in the building, gave testi
mony as to the exercises complained of
and the-plaintiff rested.
Versions Were tho Same.
Professor P. C. Hanyon was the first
witness called for tho defense, nnd testi
fied as to the nature of the opening
exercises at his school. His tory was
substantially the same as that related
by the witnesses for the plaintiff.
Rev. A. B. Broe was recalled to the
stand and examined the "Happy
Hours" hymn book. It was contended
that this Is a Methodist hymnal, but
Mr. Broe, after his examination, said
that it did not contain one selection
usually found In the Methodist hymn
books. That closed the testimony, and
Attorneys A. A. Vosburg and II. M.
Hannah made the closing arguments for
the defense. They said that the King
James version of the Bible had been
read in the public schools of ithls state
ever since they were first founded; that
such reading was not sectarian teach
ing by any means, ns the Bible is the
foundation of all Christianity, and far
removed from the taint of sectarianism.
Mr. Hannah had not concluded his ar
gument when court adjourned and will
resume this morning. He will be fol
lowed by Mr. Newcomb, who will pre
sent the arguments of the plaintiff.
Franklin Avenue Injunction.
Before Judge Gunster In chambprs
argument was heard on the injunction
asked for to restaln the People's Street
Railway company from laying a track
on Franklin avenue alongside of the
track of the Suburban company.
Attorneys Horace E. Hand and J.
Alton Davis, who represented the Peo
ple's company, offered In evidence van
ordinance allowing the track of the
Suburban company on Franklin avenue
to bo moved to one side to admit of the
laying of a track by the defendant
company. Attorney I. H. Burns, who
represents tho property owners of the
avenue, objected to the ordinance on tne
ground that the title is not in harmony
with the body of the ordinance.
Mr. Bums also produced a decision
of the supreme court whleh prohibits
two companies from laying tracks on
the Bame street. Court took the papers
and will hand down Its decision later.
THREE HUNDRED GIRLS.
Received tho Sacrament of Confirmation
at St. Peter's Cathodral.
Three hundred little girls were con
firmed yesterday morning at St. Peter's
cathedral. It was' the feast of Ascen
sion Thursday, and after the children
had ibeen seated In the center aisle a
high mass was celebrated. The church
.--ded wlthifrlends of the happy
little ones.
..ie mass Rt. Rev. Bishop
O'mira ascended the altar, and seated
there Imparted the sacrament of con
firmation upon the children. Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas F. Leonard acted as spon
sors in the same manner as they did
for the boys last Sunday.
The bishop addressed the children
and spoke to them of the graces and
blessings that God would bestow on
them with the reception of this sacra
ment. They were exhorted to open their
hearts and receive the bountiful mer
cies that are ready for the pure souls.
The children marched to the altar and
knelt before the bishop. Rev. Fathers
O'Reilly, Campbell, tMillane and Feeley
assisted in the ceremony. Each young
soldier wbb presented, as is the custom,
with a silver medal as a memento.
I
MR. HEWITT'S VERSION.
Tho -Fertilizing Works Near Taylor llnvo
llccn Officially Approved.
Proprietor F. H. Hewitt, of the Hewitt
Fertilizing establishment. Is Inclined to
take exception to the published reports
of tho proceedings before Alderman
Wright, so far as they Indicate that he
bus disregarded the Interests of the
community In the matter of offensive
odors. He Hays that more than a year
ago he consulted Dr. W. E. Allen, of
the state board of health, health officer
for this district, as to the sanitary con
dition of his plant. Dr. Allen, Mr. Hew
itt says, made a number of visits to the
plant nnd, while recommending the use
of improved machinery, added that the
plant as It stood was not deleterious to
the community.
Tho Hewitts, however, have ordered
an entire outfit of new machinery. The
bolleis are already .in place, und by
Monday next, It Is i expected thnt a
steam drier, with a deodorizer and other
Improved attachments, will be put In.
This machinery, Mr. Hewitt explains,
was ordered several months ago of
Smith & Brothers, Newark, N. J., nnd
should have been In readiness by the
middle of April, but unavoidable delays
prevented. The ease, unless Bottled In
the meantime, will probably come be
fore the next grand Jury.

ing a report he waited some time, and
