Squires Makes That Assertion in Communica- tion—Mrs. Tiedemann Says Klan Issue Did Not Enter Into Controversy. . Last week T HR , R EVIEW published an article relative to the Hampton Bays -Board of Education horextend- - ing an invitation to Principal Charles McCall to return nejrc year. This in- formation came fo/us from a very re- liable source and in ail interview a member of the Board of Education •corroborated the statements made to T HE R EV IE W and which were con- tained in the published article. T HE R E V IEW takes -pleasure in pub- lishing the following -communicalianj from Joseph E. Squires , of Hampton Bays , and Mrs. Addie Tiedemann , the latter a member of the Board of Edu- cation , and will he pleased to -publish others , as we desire to give both sides of the controversy. Editor , County Review:— Referring to thi (article «n the front page of the last issue of your paper relative to Principal Cha. -!es McCall , of the Hampton Bays H' gh school , it seems to me only a fair proposition that any article on any subject which is given ns prominent a -place in any publication as was J given the article referred to , should be a statemen t of facts and should not be misleading. I claim for the article in question that it is misleading and contains some errors. It is true that Principal McCall h&j. made . his opposition to the Ku Klux -Klan 'known botlTbutsido and inside of the school . ¦ It is stated in your article of last week that three\ members of the Board voted for Principal McCall to retu rn , while as a matter of \ facL there were six members of tho Board present at the meeting at which thi = vote was taken, five members voted, four voting no , and one voting yes. Two of the five teachers mentioned in your article as having declined to return because of the attitude of the i majority of the Board toward Prin- cipal McCall, would have returned, but the majority of the Board de- I dined to offer them a e-mlraet , and l one other did not. intend !o return. ] Relative to the sciiliim-nt of t ' -ie people, in regard to the matte r it J would not tane any diftintererted per- son very long to ascertain that th^ sentiment of a targe m.n ' ority is with the m. -i i-iiity of the Board rather than jwil h Principal McCall.

Altnough \Kaiser , \ the 11-year- old dog owned by Simon Rukofsky, a Polish farmer of Patchogue was ex- hibited' before a jury in the Courty cour t , and was .claimed to be a harm- less canine , the jnry awarded Ernest W.

Schwarz , who Was represented by Lawyer Harry A. Davidcw , sued for $2 , 000. . Rtrkofsky requested Schwarz to sell his farm and the real estate man went to inspect \the'property. ' While he •was being shown about the p lace the uog bit him in the calf of (he leg and he was partially disabled for ten weeks , according to the testimony the plaintiff and ms wife gave at the trial. Schwarz stated that the dog broke his chain and . -an after him. Rukof- sky- declared that \Kakier \ was so 1 old that he had lost all of the teeth j that were ' capable of inflicting any) serious injury ' s that the ones remain- ! ing in his jaws could do no injury and in order to prove his statement \Kaiser ' _ ' was brought into the court room , his mouth was opened , and his teeth exhibited to the jury. Mrs. Rukofsky accused Schwarz of 'itriking the dog with an iron pipe and also of pushing her (Mrs . Ru- kofsk y) over onto the grounjl , but Schwarz denied that he had laid his bands on the woman. Seme of the testimony given by the plaintiff and the deferdant was very amusing. Arthur Kominsky, 14, who resides near \ the Rnkofsky farm , testified that \Kaiser \ had bitten him in the leg in the fall of 1923 , while he -was ¦ \rid- ing his b.
