It has been increased to $3,000 and Dr. Bray thought it should be in- creased to $3,500.

The salary committee in taking ac- tion on the increases favored that of Dr. Lee's, of Mr. Dolan's and Mrs.p Bowen’s. In the case of Dr. Witte, the members favored an increase to $1,800 instead of $2,000 and to $1,400 instead of $1,500 in the case of Mr. Crowley. They did not favor an in- crease for Miss Brooks.

L. Hatch of the board of water commissioners spoke in fav- or of salary increases for the em- ployes for that department and said {that he thought so much of their work that if they were employed by him he was quite sure he would grant them their increase.

Willimantie, Jan. 10.—Prof. Henry W. Lawrence, Jr., of the Connecticut College for Women, in an address here today before the school of citi- zenship conducted by the Connecticut ILeague of Women Voters, declared that the American party system is in danger uniess the parties again stand for live principles. He said the direct primary had shown itself to be more than a fad, but had not cured the fils 'of party government although it was a promising experiment. “Not only existing political parties tut even party government as such is today belng eved with growing sus- picion” he sald. “Nobody knows how we could get along without parties, but an increasing number seem ready to risk the experiment.” EW BRI Recommended ttached to Decision R, BRAY REMAINS | INLEAD ON BIRTHS Dr. 0'Comnell Is Second-Fees Paid by City Total $550 Records for 1922, just compiled in the city clerk's office, show that during'| the year the number of births far exs ceeded the number of deaths, the lat ! ter being 1,076 fewer than the fors| mer, As has been the case with birth ' records for a number of years, Dr, Henry T.

Judge Mangan requested Chief of Police W, C. Hart to report on Janu- ary 22 as to whether Frank has dis- posed of his store, and at that time the court will consider a suspension of the jall sentence. Andreczyk was arraigned in court on New Year's day for a violation of the liquor law in his store, He was fined $160 and costs at that time. Through'lLawyer Stanley J. Traces- ki, Andreczyk pleaded nolo conten- dere this morning. Prosecuting At- torney Joseph G. Woods told the court that the police found two containers of liquor at Frank's store on January 6, five days after he had beep pun- ished for another liquor law infrac- tion, Lawyer Traceski asked for a sus- pension of any jall sentence. He sald Frank is going out of business and that the police will not be troubled further by him, therefore the aim of the police department to close up places where liquor is being sold whl have been accomplished. Through Lawyer M. A. Sexton, Alex Karwoski pleaded nolo contendere in charges of keeping liquor at . 106 Broad street, with intent to sell. . He was fined $150.

Stadler secured the evi- dence and made the arrests after Karwoski admitted ownership. Breach of the peace charges against Michael Lilly were nolled. Lilly was arrested upon complaint of a neigh- bor, and in court yesterday he laid the blame on the complainant. Pro- bation Officer E. C. Connelly investi- gated and was convinced that Lilly was right. 5 Judge Mangan continued the case of * Alex Asatonius, charged with breach of the peace until Saturday morning. i THE OLD CLOTHES MYSTERY Police Department Baffled by Strange Discovery in Freight Car This Morning. The detective bureau of the local police department has a deep, dark and dank mystery, a case which baf- fles solution. It is one which Detec- tive Sergeant Mathias Rival has tried {n vain to fathom. It might be called in detective thrillers, “The Mystery of the Old Clothes.” It all started this morning about $:30 o'clock when George Green of the American Hardware corporation telephoned Lieutenant Samuel Bam- forth that there was a sult of clothes in a freight car on Washington street. Sergeant Rival conducted an in- vestigation, only to learn that the mystery had deepened. Instead of one suit, he found two suits. Both suits were old and bore signs of having been discarded for good and sufficient reasons. But no sign was found of the own- ers of the discarded clothing. Whether two tramps played stick-up men and relieved some embarrassed citizens of their wearing apparel, or the owners of the clothing were murdered by some mysterious masked organization, or whether the suits represented a bootlegger’s disguise, no one seems to know. In the meantime the plot thickens. EIGHT PATIENTS IN WEEK Nurses Added to Staff At New Court Street Hospital—Just One Week old.
