State Superintendent Barrett Rules Against
Board of Educiticc.
DECIDES AGAINST THE * , OAKLAND TRACT
Dcnlcn the Application ( or a Ilchcar-
liiK In the Smith Appeal Canr
Iloaril Will lie Compelled
to Stand u Suit.
State Superintendent Barrett hno denied
the application of the Board of Education
for n rehearing in the matter of the T. L.
Smith appeal case and his previous ruling
against the Oakland nvenuo alto stands.
This not only leaves the board In the posi
tion that It will now have to select some
other location for the proposed now High
school building , but it will alee have to defend
a Bull brought by Simon Casady against the
echool district to recover the purchase price
of the Oakland avenue property. The de
cision of the state fluperlntcndent denying
the application for a rehearing 'as received
hero yesterday morning and Immediately
after the attorneys for Simon Casady served
notice of suit.
Text of the DcclHlon.
The decision of the state superintendent is
ns follows :
T. L. Smith , appellant , against Inde
pendent District of Council Bluffs.
Comes now the Independent richool Dis
trict of Council Blurts by its attorneys nnd
asks a rehearing In this case.
The act of the board from which this ap
peal Is taken was not wholly discretionary.
Tiie vote of the electors , placing JG5.000 in
the hands of the board of directors of the
Independent District of Council Bluffs for
the purpose of erecting n high school build
ing , contained a direction to that body to
select the site In as central a location as
In its Judicial judgment is possible.
AVhlle it Is true as a general proposition
that the law confers upon boards of direc
tors the power to locate school house sites ,
It has been repeatedly held by this depart
ment , nnd at least once by the supreme
court of our state , that if the location of
the school house is coupled with and desig
nated In the vote to build , the house must
be built In accordance with the vote.
As an Inducement to the electors to vote
the necessary sum for the erection of tne
High school building In question the board
set out In Us notice of election that the
new site should be selected ns centrally as
in its Judgment is possible. This proposi
tion , which in a measure limited the dis
cretionary power of the board relative to
the location of a site , having been made a
part of the vote authorizing the Issuance
of bonds , becnme Inseparable therefrom
when endorsed by the electors , and the
board became bound to select the most cen
tral location possible , both as a'matter of
law and of good faith.
We arc unable to conclude that the board
did select the most central site possible.
On the other hand , the action of the
board on April II , when the street site was
selected ; the admission of a majority or
the board at the hearing before the county
superintendent that the Oakland avenue
site chosen April 17 was not located ns
centrally as possible ; the virtual holding of
the county superintendent that the board
was In nowise bound by the expressions of
electors relative to the location of the
building , for whose erection they voted
money , led us to the conclusion that the
board had not given that consideration to
the vote of the electors relative to the loca
tion of the school house site , which they
were in law and coed conscience bound to
give , and that the site chosen Is not located
centrally , or as centrally as In the Judg
ment of the board it is possible to locate U.
The action of the board since the decision
was rendered' has served only to strengthen
this opinion.
From the transcript of the proceedings
of the board , duly certified to by its .secre
tary. It appears that on the Ibth day of
September flvo ballots were taken to de
termine the choice of a school house site ,
and that upon no one of said ballots did
the site in controversy receive more than
three of the seven votes of the board. This
action on the part of the board Indicates
that n majority does not now regard the
Oakland avenue site as the , most centrally
located.
This case has been decided upon the evi
dence of the members of the board them
selves and In the light of the law as It re
lates to the duties of boards of directors.
Considerable stress is laid In the applica
tion for a rehearing upon the claim that the
owner of the proposed site , ns well as the
persons employed by the board to grade the
same , may Involve the district In litigation.
In our opinion this Is a matter that it is
not our province to consider in determining
the question of a rehearing. Every person
doing business with a municipal corpora
tion Is presumed to know that he Is dealing
with a creature of the law whose powers
are limited , and the members of the board
certainly knew that any person aggrieved
by their decision in locating the school
house site had the right to appeal from
such decision within thirty days after its
rendition ,
The decision in tills case having been
made on the 12th day qt September , 1S99 ,
.1 i.opy of the opinion wa at once trans
mitted to the board , which body , accordIng -
Ing to the transcript of their secretary ,
formally considered the same on September
The secretary's transcrii.t shows that not
until October 16 did In * bciint decide to nsk
for a rehearing , application for which was
filed October 21 , or thlrly-nlno dayw after
the decision was randT'd.
While the stntulo is eilont as to the
method or time of m.ikii.g application for a
rehearing In HIMO oases , yet , reasoning
Jjy analogy Itould PI i m that thirty days
would bo ample 'line wlihln which to per
mit applications to oe made. The person
aggrieved by a .leclsbn or order of a schrol
board him only . . . ij days In which to
malia an appeal t-j HIM county superintend
ent. If the affidavit Is.'not filed within that
time the appeal must be dismissed. Like
wise the person aggrieved by the decision
of the county superintendent nun only
thirty days In which , to perfect his appeal
to the superintendent of public Instruction.
The Ptatuto ( section 4143 of the Code ) re-
Intliui to rehearing In the supreme court
provides that written notice of Intention
to petition for a rehearing shall be served
on thu opposite party or his attorney and
thu clerk of the court within thirty days
after the tiling of the opinion or decision ,
and If no such notice Is served the petition
for rehearing fhall not be Hied after the
expiration of such thirty days.
While thirty days from the < rendition of
i ho decision would. It seems to us , bo amnlo
t.ino In which to Die an application for a
rehearing , and. whtlf . ' ( 'Us ' department would
bo fully Justified In refusing to consider
an application filed after the expiration
of that time , yet wn do not wish to be un
derstood that 'a refusal to icopcn this case
Is based upon that ground.
In the caseof N. R. Johnson against
District Townshln of Utlca , page 36 , S. L.
Decisions. It was" held : 'To Justify the
granting of a new trial a reasonable ) doubt
must nrUr > in the , mind of the officer tu
whom application la made ns to thu abso
lute correctness of his former conclusions.
After carefully considering the evidence
and the law , nstell fin tlu > arguments of
counsel In support of thu application , we
are unable to see any reason for reopening
: hls cane.
The application for rehearing It" therefore
denied. R. C. BARRETT.

A special srfiilon of the school board
was held ycsterday.-nfternoon . , nt which , after
Ibe ruling of the state superintendent had
lH > eu read and ordered laid nwny among the
archives of the district. It was decided to
defer action in the'selection - of another slto
until next Monday night. Action In tbe
matter of the -Casaily eult was deferred
until the next regular meeting.
Member Cooper was In favor of the board
losing no more time over the selection of a
t'lte and wanted action taken right there
nnd then , but failed to secure any sup
port from the other members , who deemed
it betI to wait a few days , aa the offer of
other sites might bo made the board In the
meantime.
During the discussion Member Moore
elated that It bad been suggested to him
that the board could secure the propertr
Immediately north of St. Francis Xavler's
Catholic church , on South Sixth etrcet. This
ho hnd been advised could be secured for
about $10,000 by condemnation proceedings.
The property has n frontage of close upon
200 feet on Sixth street nnd is 102 feet deep.
The Schlltz Brewing company and Mrs. Amy
arc the owners.
The new school nt Cut-Oft was accepted
from Contractor Wind and the final esti
mate on the contract was ordered paid.
Member Stewart reported that Inquiries
hnd been made ns to the possibility of the
opening of n t evonlh grade class In either
the Avenue B school or the Second Avenue
ochool. * Superintendent Hnydcn , when the
matter was called to his attention , stated
that ho had under contemplation the estab
lishment of such a grade at one of the two
schools next February , at the time of the
regular promotions.

The trial of tbo personal damage suit
of M. W. George , the Chicago traveling man ,
against the city wa's completed In the dis
trict court yesterday afternoon and the case
given to the jury shortly after 3 o'clock.
Up to a late hour the jury had failed to ar
rive at a verdict. George sues for $5,000
for the fracture of a leg caused by falling
on the icy sidewalk on Pearl street at the
Junction of the Woodbury block and Grand
hotel last January.
Following the George damage suit , the
case of the Duncan Shoe Company agnlnst
the Iowa Merchants' Mutual Insurance Com
pany was taken up. The plaintiff seeks
to recover $321.01 , part of the damage sus
tained by hie shoe stock In a fire last win

The hearing of the injunction suit of W.
W. Rogers against the Omaha , Council Bluffs
and Suburban Railway Company , set for yes
terday in the superior court , was continued ,
owing to the attorney for the defendant
company being engaged elsewhere.
Judge Aylesworth henrd yesterday the ar
guments in the motion of the defendants
for the transfer to Story county of the suits
brought by D. J. Fogerty against Mary J.
Jonee , T. J. Carpenter , et nl. In these suits
the plaintiff seeks to recover damages for
alleged breach of contract in the matter
of the sale of nureery stock , basing his
claim on what his profits would have been
If the defendants had stood by their con
tracts and purchased the stock. The de
fendants claim that whereas the suits are to
recover damages and not to recover for
goods sold they are entitled to have the
cases transferred to Story countjv where
they reside. Judge Aylesworth took his
ruling under advisement.

ST. JOSEPH , Mo. , Dec. 12. ( Special. )
Lieutenant John J. Deeming , against whom
a serious charge Is made by Miss Tena
Leonard of Council Bluffs , is still held a
prisoner here. Habeas corpus proceedings
were Instituted In the probate court to se
cure his release , but were dismissed by
Judge Thomas on the ground that he had
no Jurisdiction. An effort will now be made
to secure his release on a writ In the cir
cuit c urt.
Deeming returned from the Philippines
with the Twentieth Kansas regiment , in
which ho was a second lieutenant. Ho
had known the Council Bluffe young woman
before ho removed with his parents to To-
pHta and went Into the army. Ho denies
that ho over promised to marry Miss Leon
ard. Soon after Deeming departed for the
Philippines with his regiment he says the
girl wrote to his parents , who now llvo
here , and Informed them that she had been
spcrctlv married to him at Council Bluffs.
The parents of Deeming believed her and
accepted her as a daughter-in-law until
they heard from their son. Ho wrote to
his parents that he had never thought of
marrying her.
Miss Leonard still Insisted that they wore
married , however , and during his absence
vlelted his parents here. Deeming says ho
now has the letters In which she told his
father imd mother that she was the wife of
their son. When . young man returned
from the Philippines the young woman came
to the city on a visit to the Deeming fam
ily and still asserted she was the wife of
the young man. On a previous visit to
his parents she was accompanied by her
mother. On the Oceanian of her lost visit
Deeming refused to remain In the same
Iiouso with her at night , but went to &
hotel while Bho was a guest at his hr.me.
The young woman returned to Council Bluffs
after n short visit and swore out the war
