TWO EMPLOYES ABE OUSTED Alleged Purchase of Positions in Colored to Be Investigated--Commission High School Regiment Granted. Prizes Awarded--Teachers Promoted, Transferred and Appointed. Harmony was the keynote of thejneet- Ing of the board of education yesterday In spite of the rumors of impending strife over the alleged discovery that of the colored schools had been paying unidentified persons to obtain and hold their positions. A letter from Calvin Chase, a c6l- ored attorney, who charged that R. C.

Bruce assistant superintendent of colored schools, had "falsely and maliciously' accused him of Accepting- a fee for obtaining an appointment for a colored teacher was read, and the board promptly voted, to refer Mr -Chase's charges to a committee of flve members Collins, the colored janitor of the Jones school, who admitted having paid $10 month to keep- his place, was dismissed D. Monroe, tne engineer of the Armstrong Manual Training School, who has several times figured In controversies before the board, was dismissed for dereliction of duty and Incompetence It was explained that Monroe, not being a teacher, was not entitled to trial sifiih as is provided tor teachers by a Congressional act. Payroll Delay Explained, A letter from the superintendent was read, attributing the delay in the pay rolls to the following causes A jiew system of pay roll accounting that is materially different from the one in use for many years, various oral rul- ings made during the preparation of the rolls, awarding the contracts for printing firms not having the requisite facilities for handling rush work, smallness of the office force, which prevented the detailing of sufficient help during the preparation of the rolls As a result of the examinations for commislpns in the High School Regiment the hoard appointed the following officers Colonel Clagett, Central High School, lieutenant colonel "Williams Eastern High School, major.
