The new contracts involve, the .
expenditure of almost • $1,000,000 i
this year. I have never believed
this to have been necessary and X 1
do not think J would be protecting
the interests of the schools of the
state without doing everything th ‘
my power to secure a test of the
valadityof the contracts by the
courts. ” I shall await the hearing, in
Ban Antonio on August 10 at which
time I hope the federal court will
pass upon the validity of the congy
tracts and I shall have a judicial
decision to guide me in my official
actions. In the meantime the public
should surter no uneasiness as the
only important books in the litigar 1
tion, are the seokrarhien.

Man Held For
‘Divers’ Reasons
Neglects Rope
DETOIT, August 1. Ito—Russell
Hurt of Sandwich, Ontario, today to
under arrest for divers reasons.
“Captain” John Spear, a diver,
was forty feet under water at the
Ojibway, Ontario, docks yesterday
and Hurt, his helper, was on the
dock. One end of a rope was around
Spear’s waist, the other was in the
hands of Hurt, whose Job it was
to heavs vigorously when the “cap-
tain” signalled that he wanted to
come out of the water.
The "captain" signalled and Hurt
heaved, Spear climbed a ladder with
the assistance of the etrong pull at
his waist. Half way to the surface
the rope slackened. "Captain" Spear,
who is well along in years, all but
fell back to the bottom. Fighting
the pressure of the water and ham-
pered by hle heavy diving suit, he
fought his way to the surface and '
reached the dock exhauted.
In making complaint to the Cana-1
dian authorities, Spear said Hurt
became engrossed in conversation
with a passerby and forgot all about
hla chief under the water.
The warrant charges criminal
negligence.
