OUSTED MEMBERSOF SCHOOL BOARDENTITLED TO SEATS
Judie Foell Holds Mayor HadNo Power Over Hardlni, Di-belka, Huffmann, Sethness.
PUTS MRS. YOUNG IN PERIL
Appeal by City, However, WouldKeep Ouartet Out Until
Terms Expire.
COUAT ~UOTES HEALY DECISION
Judge Charles M. Foell of the Superiorcourt ruled yesterday that the four mem-bers of the school board ousted by MayorHarrison are entitled to their seats on theboard. The men are Henry W. Huttmann,Charles O. Sethness, John C. Harding, andJames B. Dlbelka. These were ousted InDecember after Mrs. Ella Flagg Young hadbeen dropped as superintendent.The city's demurrer to the quo warranto
proceedings filed by tho ousted trustees wasoverruled by Judge Foell, who found thatthe mayor m taking resignations from thetrustees at the time of their appointment wasacting against public policy and, in effect, de-priving them of the Independence of actioncontemplated In the law.Immediately on hearing of the ruling two
of the ousted men-Huttmann and Sethnea_showed a pronounced friendly attitude to-ward Mrs. Young. The other two could notbe reached.
Affects Mrs. Young's ElectionPThe ousted men say they will take their
••sts at the next meeting of the board. ColinC. H. Fyffe, attorney for the four, said hebelieved, without having looked up the lawIn the case, that the latest election of Mra.Yc·ung Is Invalidated. She was elected bythe votes of the four new men-John W. Eck-hart, John A. Metz, Joseph A. Holpuch, and.Axel A. Strom.It Is uncertain what effect the ruling will
have upon John D. Shoop, who was electedsuperintendent by the old board. Mr. ShoopaeN'pted hi position uf firtlt IlSslstaut super-Intendent following his dismissal from thehigher position by the new board. It maybe, It Is said, that this acceptance wlllinvall-elate his eJection as superintendent, thus leav-in~ the place open.
City May Appeal.The city may appeal the case, however.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Leon Horn-stein asked that the judgment be not entereduntil 2 o'clock this afternoon so that he mallhave an opportunity to consult with Corpo-ration Counsel Sexton In regard to What ac-tion the city will take. ,The city has until Saturday to appeal, but
unless the case Is appealed Immediately themen will take their seats on Friday In themeeting of the buildings and grounds com-mittee. of which they all previously weremembers. If they take their seats before theappeal, according to Mr. Fyffe, they will re-tain them until the question finally is settledb~' the Supreme court.If the appeal Is taken today, however, the
ousted men probably will have to contentthemselves with a paper Victory. Their termsrun out in July. and the Supreme court can-not 8ettle the case by that time.
Foell Gives Decision.Judge Foell interrupted the hearing of the
closing arguments of the vote fraud case toalve his decision. He based his ruling prin-cipally on the precedent established by theHealy case, when former Mayor Busse triedto remove several trustees.Judge Foell held the acceptance of the
resignations by Mayor Harrison was an at-tempt to control the actions of the board.and that no statute prevails which allowshim this power or the power of removal.Mr. Harding was a party to both cases, hav-ing been twice ousted from the board andtwice restored.Dlbelka, Harding, Huttmann, and Seth-
ness, says Judge Foell In his decision ••• wereappointed members of the school board onthe 17th of July, 1911. Prior to their ap-pointment, and In response to a letter writ-ten to each of them by the mayor, In whlcbthe mayor had requested that they place Inhis hands a resignation from the position towhich he contemplated appointing them.each member tendered his resignation. Thisresignation Is In the following language: 'Ihereby tender my resignation as a member ofthe board of education of the city of Chicago,to take effect at your pleasure."
Time of Ouster.••The four trustees served as members of
the school board and performed the duties oftheir position until December, 1913,when,under the authority of the resignation whichI have just read, they were removed andthe respondents appointed In their places.••The question Is whether or not under the
law of this state the mayor has the right tomake such removal. I think the case of thePeople vs. Healy. 231 Illinois, Is practicallydecisive of the case..•That was a case where the mayor sought
arbitrarily to remove school trustees, andthe Supreme court held that the mayor, al-though the law Imposed upon him the obli-gation of appointing the school trustees, hadabsolutely no power to remove them.
High Court's Ruling.••On page 03;; of this opinion the court
.ald:"In considering the question as to wheth-
er or not the mayor had the right toremove municipal officers whom he Isgiven the right to appoint, the question Isto be borne In mind that If an officer ofa city undertakes to exercise a power hemust be able to show that the power hasbeen conferred by legislative grant, andthe power to remove an officer whoseterm of olflce Is fixed for a definite periodby statute rs not incidental to the powerof appointment.••This case of People vs. Healy elearly

Washing in Kitchen.The facts In the case are so Incomplete that
the police are mystified. Theknown circum-stances Indicate MrL<.Healy had been wash-Ing in the kitchen when her assailant ap-proached. She fied to the Inclosed porch at theback ot the house. There the man attackedher, and after a desperate struggle cut herthroat. There was no one In the fiat at thetime save the woman, the assassin, and twopet dogs.The two Healy children. 8 year old Mer-
cedes and 6 year old Jerome, had been sentto school half an hour before. The police,questioned the husband closely. Theychecked up his story and his history, thenannounced their theory that a beggar orpeddler was responsible.Healy tells a story supporting this theory.
He says he lett the Revere pharmacy, as Ishis custom, shortly atter noon and went to abank on the north side, Where he made a de-posit. Then he took a car to his home. Ithas bee nhls practice to take luncheon withhis wlte. The Healy fiat Is on the secondttoor, above an undertaker's establishmentowned by Mrs. Healy's brother, a man namedKlassen .
Approach to Flat.The tlat Is approached by means ot a hall-
way and a filght of stairs at the side of theundertaker's establishment. It was the cus-tom of the Healys to keep both the outer dooron the first tloor and the Inner door on thesecond fioor ot this entryway locked. Healysays both doors were locked when he arrived.This was at 1:4;)0' clock.••I ran up the stairs," said Healy, .• and
unlocked the door to the flat. I heard thedogs barking. I thought this strange. In-stead of removing my overcoat In the hall of; the tlat. as Is my custom, I walked stralght1--------------------------------- through the fiat. My wife was not In thekitchen, but the door opening Into the jft-closed porch was open. I walked throughand found my wife lying on the top of a. pileot 'broken furniture.••My wlte's throat had been cut. She was
stili alive, but could not speak. EvidentlYshe had struggled hard. Everything In theinclosed porch had been turned topsy turvy.The door of the Inclosed porch opening on th.stairs was open.
Says Wife Nodded."The first thing I remember doIng was
calling to the neighbors. Then I telephonedthe police. Afterward I picked my wife upand carried her Into the kitchen. She rec-ognized me, but she was weak and her woundwas such that she could not speak. I askedher It she knew who kllled her and shenodded. I asked her It the murderer was aman and again she nodded. I could get noth-Ing more from her. The pollee came soonafter and took her to St. Joseph's hospital,where she died. While the police were In thehouse they found the gloves."An examination of the gloves showed them
to be the canvas kind worn by laborers.They were not new and were of unusuallylarge size.Dr. Irving H. Eddy of 844Fullerton avenue
