The BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Papers east window. There I found him and asked him to explain. In the morning I said I would let him off on the ~.~4 p.m. train but up to that time he must attend to his work. When the bell rang for school at one, instead of obeying it he went to the ~.o7 train for Boston and returned at nine. This morning I asked him to explain his conduct. He said it was a case of distinct disobedience, but he had thought it all over and made up his mind to do it; he thought that was best. I conclude, in view of his conduct and his attitude of defiance that I can do but one thing and that is to ask you to remove him from the school, and I await a prompt telegram from you instructing me where to send him.

The thing got so warm at one time, that Forbes and Hayes had to be separated. Forbes called Hayes a coward and a hypocrite because he did not stand by Trotter's attack on ''His Nibs.'' The convention was simply a huge pow-wow and nothing more. ~66
