PROTEST FILED AGAINST HIM ! It Is Based Upon a Very Serious Charge Reported by Pittsburg Newspapers and Is Alleged to Have Oc curred Last April. When will tho coutso of sensations turn and a check bo brought to bear upon tho norvo, mind and tongue-trying developments which tho modern management of public school affairs scorns unablo to escapof Last night tho School Board of U1I3 borough held another meeting, and tho first sinco its re organization. Tho developments of the ovening wero among tho most sensational over mado beforo tho Board. That tho charges embraced in tho presentations inado aro groundless must ho tho hope of every friend of tho canso of education. Had a bomb exploded in midst of tho School Directors tho surprise could not have been greater to most of thoso assembled when President Prlco aroso and Btated why, in making his appointment of committees, ho had failed to designate tho Library Com' mittco. Tho superintendent of schools is ah ways mado a member of that committee After announcing tho appointments mado President Prico said in explanation of tho omission, "Yesterday I heard considerable rumor through tho town in regard to tho Superintendent-elect and I considered it my duty to bring it beforo tho Board to-night To-day I mado all tho inquiry possible as to tho whereabouts of Prof. Bogartand as to why ho is not with us. I sent a telegram to Prof. Bogart, to his address in knoxvillo, Pittsburg, and tlieso aro tho words : When may wo expect to 6co you ?"' Mr. Price con tinued with a statement that tho dispatch evidontly did not reach Prof. Bogart, as ho received an answer from another party say ing Prof, Bogart had left Knoxvillo and was supposed to bo in Philadelphia. Ho then continued, "I tried to rcacli tho Department of Public Instruction by 'phono at Harris- burg and failed to get Scbacfler, Stewart, or Ilouck; they wero out. Schaeifer will ho at homo to-morrow. I got Secretary Glenn and asked him if ho knew about Prof. Bogart that ho had not, as yet, appeared. I wanted to know when tho commission had been given him and ho slated that a protest had been Jiled against Prof. Bogart against tho issuing 01 mo commission, 1 ocnevo no sum it is on tho ground of immorality, lie is now at Germantown, Philadelphia. A letter had been received from him by tho Department stating he had forwarded tho protest to tho Knoxvillo School Board and they have not heard from tiiat Board as yet. Mr. Glenn supposes that at an early day a hear ing will ho appointed. Ho slid ho had seen somo clippings of papers In regard to somo report. When asked as to his opinion as to tho strength of the also ho said ho didn't know, hut ho didn't think' it was a a strong case. In regards to tho filling of tho positions in case Prof. Bogcrt docs not return, Mr. Glenn stated a new election would bo necessary. Ho also stated wo do not como under tlio Supervision of tho County Super intendent. 1 ho protest was issued a few days ago. As' for myself, "added President Price, "as ono of this board, if I had tho least suspicion of anything immoral in this case in tho guilt of Prof. Bogart I certainly would object to any man of that kind com ing Into our midst." At this point Director Treziso aroso and said: "In tho matter of Mr. Bogart, tlioio is no doubt' about him coming hero lion in tho least. I know considerable about' that matter. Tho protest was filed on cither last Saturday, or Monday, and it is signed by four members of this Boanl ; and it has not como in tho usual manner beforo this Board. I havo been receiving letters from Mr. Bogart, personally, since. Ho has not run away from Pittsburg; ho Is now stopping in Philadelphia," Director Edwards then aroso and, after stating that ho did not think it wise for tho members of tho Board to make many re- marks in regard to tho matter, ho moved that a special committee of thrco ho ap pointed tomako inquiry, look up tho ques tion thoroughly, and report to tho Board at tho earliost possible moment and tho iiuard pay tho expenses, tho commlttco to bo ap pointed by tho chair. Mr, llanna thought tho Solicitor would ho n suUlcient committee and stated that lie heard tho Department had sent the oath of olilco to Knoxvillo and ouo to Shenandoah nud nothing was heard from, except n letter about tho 23th, or 20111 of May, in whicli he mentioned his qualifications and then wanted to know what further he should do. Mr. Hauna said the remark was made that "tliero must bo something wrong" and it was presumed that the letter was sent as a feeler to soe whether there was a protest against him. Mr. Edwards jumped up and retorted with some feeling, "I don't think this Board has any right to attack Mr. Bogart's character. That is about all a man has in this world. Tho Board is not in possession of legal docu ments or of facts detrimental to the char acter of Mr. Bogart." Jlr. lilwurds added. "This protect was mado by four members of this Hoard, and through an illegal chanuol." Mr. Treziso again arose ami read the following letter : "Philadelphia, "0-2-IbOo. "Jlr. William T. Treziso, ".shenutulouh, l'a. "My Dear Sin "Yoorswas reo'.l a ft.iv tlav .slim,, nml T cannot suy when 1 uluill Ix)!;'"1'.," . Possibly iiiu juuer pun oi mis witK, uuj inore llKeiy early next week.

Tho following Is tho remainder of tho letter oopiM by u reporter from the document, which Is In possession of Mr. Treziso. El). ' "1 cannot remain In Shenandoah at nrtwiciit. as must ho to Baltimore and JVushinKtou soon to so arrange our. business n Miers that 1 will need give It no more alientlon after August. Shall writ.- ainiln, informing you what day you may expect mo. very iruly y iur, 'C. J). HooAur." Mr. Treziso added that 'ie also had in his possession a letter from tho Secretary of tho School Board at Knoxvillo, dated May tth, highly recommending Mr. Bogart. Mr. Hauna raised a point that ho thought tho letters wero tho property of tho Board and ho did not sco why the letters wero held back so long. Mr. Trozizo answered, "I received my information and used tho samo methods Mr. Hanna and others did In the samo matter. This is a personal matter bc- twoen Mr. Bogart and myself and tho com munication from tho Secretary of tho Knox villo School Board was privato also." After Mr. Leo got in a few words in which he said ho bclloved somo crooked work was going on, and tho wholo mattor was news to him, and tilings ought to bo douo "abovo hoard," Mr. Dcvitt got on tho lloor and gavo tho alleged' charge as ho remembered it from reading n Pittsburg newspaper clipping. Mr. llanna's subsequent statement practically gives Devltt's remarks moro clearly. Mr. Treziso then read tho second letter as follows : "Philadelphia, "0-2-lK3. "Mr. Wm. T. Treziso. "Shennndoah, l'a. "My Dear Sir: Since writing you I ree'd from Dr. Schuclter, State Supt., a cony of n protest by Messrs. Connors, Conry, Dcvitt and Manly to prevent the issuing of my commission. "I havo just matlctl It to tho School Board at Knoxvillo, l'gh, l'a., asking that a reply to It bo sent to l)r. .Schaetlcr. Tho protest is based upon vilo rumors gotten up by a cabal, as leader, in a factional light of long standing. 1 havo asked that a copy of tbo letter bo sent to you. butl want you to write to W. O.

Tiio remarks and readings quoted wero intcrspercd by discussions as to whether tho committeo of thrco should bo appointed; and tho reading of tho last letter was supple mented by tho following sensational remarks on tho part of Mr. Hanna : This offenso occurred on the 23rd of April. It is a plain, straight chargo of an attempt to outnigo u 13-year-old girl in tho school room. It is tho Pittsburg Leader of the issuo of April 27th and tho Pittsburg Dispatch of tho samo dato two ditlercnt versions all agreeing on tho facts. Both say his resignation was de manded. Otio says tho mother refused to ho interviewed. His open defense, beforo tiio Board was that tho child's clothing was torn by romping around tho room. There is no necessity for tho child being in the school room after hours, romping around witli the Superintendent. Tho eliargcs aro not light and Mr. Bogart must appear beforo the Stato Department, make his denial, ask for a hear ing if ho wauts to, nud if ho says ho wauts no hearing he cannot bo Superintendent of any district In Pennsylvania." Mr. Williams could not seo what could bo accomplished by sending a committeo to Ham'shurg and Mr. James thought tho Presi dent and Solicitor ought to constituto tho committeo. Mr. Hanna finally moved an amendment that tho President and Solicitor ho appointed and tho amendment was carried on division by a vote of 8 to 0, tiio President not voting.
