OConnor to Be Investigated Unsatisfactory Beport of the Committee Important Eecommendation Con cerning Classification Other Business The Board of Education met last night and was called upon to consider the much talked of charges against Principal OCon nor et the Valencia street Grammar School preferred by the parents of young Chester Kinsman whom Connor is alleged to have beaten in a brutal manner on account of some slight infraction of school rules The assembly room of the Supervisors where the meeting was held was blled with eager spectators both on the lower floor and in the gallery fnlly half an honr before President Sabin Called the meeting to order Connor occupied a seat inside the rail with a score or more oi other teachers in the department whose sympathies he seemed to have Cheter Kinsman and his father also occupied eats inside the rail and were interested observers of all that went on Outside the railing and in the gallery was a mixed assemblage of men women and children representing tbe sentiment of the Mission which seemed to be against Connor Gray haired men and women with their daughters occupied every avail able seat while around the walls stood an interesting delegation of boys from Con nors school who marched down to the meeting in a body to the music of a drum The presence of this large number of spec tators was something of a mystery until several of those present displayed copies of a circular which it was stated had been freely circulated throughout the Mission yesterday The circular read as follows WEDNESDAY Turn out to ght ittend the meetlne of the Board of Education at the new City Hall and let people know you are opposed to that man Connor beating the daylights out of your offspring The discussion of the Connor charges was introduced by Director Decker who rose to present a report of the investigation held by the Rules and Regulations Com mittee of which he is chairman He re cited at length the testimony taken but made no recommendation to the Doard Tbe report was not signed byxt majority of the committee which fact prevented its being received as ati official communica tion Director Hyde objected to the testimony being considered as a part of the report Acting on that the Committee on Rules had supended Connor and it was now for the board to determine whether or not that action was warrantei by the facts Director Harney thought thatO Connor being under suspension from his position was entitled to a prompt investigation He had asserted his innocence of the charges prepared against him and if he deserved vindication any unnecessary de lay in granting it would be an act of in justice Finally Mr Harnejr moved that tne Doara snouia met to morrow night and on Saturday night as a committee of the whole to investigate the charges pend ing a hearing of which 0 Connor had been suspended Director Hyde offered as an amendment to the motion that the board should meet as a committee of the whole and investi tate all charges which might be preferred against Connor in writing In support ot his amendment Mr Hyde claimed that the board had a right to inve tigate Connors general fitness to erve as a teacher in the department I have been approached he said with a Dro position to quash this entire matter but 1 don believe in that way of doing business Charges have been pro ferred and they are of such a nature as te require at our hands a most careful hear tng What charges do vou refer to de ra an ded Director Woodward There are no charges This sort of thing il an out rage The chairman interrupted the director and ruled that teachers in the department are subject to investigation by the boarl at all times Applause frota the gallery But there are no sj ecial charges except those preferred by the parents of the boy Kinsman said Director oodward iou forget replied Director Hvde the public press has made charges which if true of any teacher unhts hira or her tor a po tion in this department More applause and hisses Director Dunne oojected to so much ar guraent and demanded the previous ijues tiou At the same time he intimated his belief that Director Hyde was nmplv talking for newspaper notoriety Director Hyde indignantly denied this imputation and moved that the board should go into executive session On roll call the motrbn was lou bv a vote of i to 8 Those voting in the afhrmatiye were Directors Hvde Decker and seawell After further scusston Director Hyde amendment that the board as a committee of the wlole should investi ate all charges in writing

his report for Marchyin which he specially em Dhaized the necessity of a careful super vision of the classification at the begin ning of the next school year In this con nection attention was called

Southern Pacifics Annual Meeting A Talk With the President HIs Purchase of tbe Ohio Line The annual meeting of the stocUtolden of the Southern Pacific Company which was held yesterday afternoon could hardly have passed off more quietly than it did Leland Stanford was not present owing to a bad cold but the other three paramount interests those of Huntington the Crocker estate and the Bopkrns

The directors elected are the same as those who served last year namely Huntington Leland Stanford Charles Crocker Thomas Btillman and Thomas Hubbard representing the interest of Mrs Searles A Towne Stubbs Miller Jr Stephen Gage Huntington and YT Brown Mr Huntington was chosen president and the newly elected board will meet to day The president made a statement relative to the condition of the company and its business during the past year quoting largely from Controller Lansings figures In his forecast he spoke hopefully pronouncing the prospects of the company very good Messrs Hubbard and Stiliman were absent but were represented by proxies The meeting was a very brief one and at the close Mr Huntington was Inter lewed He said that the company has in contemplation some additions to its tines in this State and will rebuild a por tion of the uma division line at a cost something under 250 0U0 The Western Traffic Association appears to eive the president perfect satisfaction and he said tfiat it in no way bars other roads from building into this State It is as its name suggests a traffic association and deals only with traffic matters We have learned satdhe to respect each others rights and don intend chop pine each other heads off Ot the likelihood of any other trans continental line building into this State Mr Huntington evidently thinks lightly He Says there little tonnage comparatively and the hauls are long while the cost of such a line is between 0 000 000 and 60 000 000 He cited tne Oregon Pa cihe as a warning of the fate that mieht overtake any road hich should at present bvild to thn coast He said that while 15 000000 worth of 1 per cent bonds were put into the road it was offered him for 10 cents on tbe dollar before he left New York In comoarn the chances of immigration to this and other fc ates of the coast Mr Huntingto eipreedthe opin ion that land is too dear here whereas in he Northwest it is to be had for from 2 to 5 an acre and with the cost of reach ing tbe coast tne i rice of land is a big consideration to the immigrant ith regard to the rumoreu purchase of the Ohio VaHey road Mr Huntington said that he had bought it The line is 180 miles long running from Princeton Ky to Evanston Ind and connecting with several other roads He still owns the Chesapeake Ohio ai Southwestern running from Louisville to Memphis a distance of 392 miles having sold only tne main line known as the Chesapeake and Ohio With the new acquisition Mr Huntington controls a very valuable ter ritorv As an illustration of the business done by the Chesapeake and Ohio main line he cited the fact that in 1838 the ton rage carried by it was more than on all the Southern Pacific lines combined Of his suposed acquisition of banta Fe stock Mr Huntington said he had bought none for a long time and has only changed 30 000 shares of the old St Louis and ban Francisco for Zo 000 shares of the reorganised Santa le and it is probably this change which gave rte to the rumor that he was bu ing santa Fe Stock With regard to the banta Margarita Ellwood line Mr Huntington said that it will be built as soon as all the right ofJ way has been secured He does not think however that ut will be a paying line or that it will be a much shorter one than the valley route Mr Huntington and his party will probablyiemain here till May 1st after whi they will go to New Orleans and Memphis where there are many matters requiring Mr Huntington attention John i llurgin president of the San Franc sco and North Pacihe and Peter McOrynn the general
