FAVORING RETIREMENT FU}ND BILL Norwich School Teachers Appoint Committee to Enlist Public Interest and Support For Measure to be Brought Before the Legislature—Pension After 30 Years of Service. The teachers of the schools of the town of Norwich met on Thursday afternoon at the Broadway school building for the purpose of considering the retirement fund bill which is to be presented at this session of the legis- lature. Supt. E. J. Graham presided. The scope of the proposed measure was explained as it has been drafted and is supported by the Teachers' league. In its present form it aims to provide for a retirement fund through which teachers can be retired after 30 Years of service, of which the last 15 Years shall have been in this state. They would then be retired on pay which should be 40 per cent. of the average for the last five years of their service before retirement. It is also provided that there should be a two per cent. addition for each year for the space five years after the retire- ment. The maximum retirement pen- sion to“be paid is set at $500 and the minimum at $200. perintendent Graham spoke of some of the other states already hav- ing a similar plan in operation, among which were New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode I rginia and Maryland, while Ge which is regarded as the most advanced coun- try along educational lines, has had the retirement fund plan for vears. The teachers passed the following resolutions expressing their support of the plan: Whereas, The preservation of the state and nation is best served through the education of its children; and Whereas, To receive the best service, superior talent, training and vigor must be brought; and Whereas, To secure this service for the community and the state the most efficient teachers must be attracted and encouraged to remain in the pro- fession. Resoived, First, That the teachers of the town of Norwich favor the es- tablishment by the state of a teachers’ retirement _fund, thereby securing greater efliciency of service rendered | to the state. Second, Be it Resolved, That the s of the town indorse the Con- necticut teachers' bill to be introduced during this session of the legislature. Superintendent Graham and Super- visors J. B. Stanton, F. L. Newton and F. P. McNamara were appointed | an executive committee to acquaint the | community in general with the te: | and merits of the retirement fund and { to arouse public support for it here.

Big Tree on Washington Street Was Probably One of the Oldest in Town. The giant elm tree recently removed from near the residence of Nelson H. Moore, at No. 28 Washington street, was one of the largest and perhaps the oldest tree in the town. The butt}| measured four feet across, and from its | rings, according to the experienced tree | men of the city, it was in the neigh- borhood of 135 vears old. It was sound | throughout and furunished ten cords of wood. It was 90 feet high. Mr. Moore, Wwho has talen a great interest in the old tree, believes that the gas and elec- | tricity caused its death. For some time, he says, there was a big gas leak at this point, and the tree several times was burned by electric wires. From its estimated age, the three | was probably planted at about the| same time that the Kinney-house,which | stood under its shade for so many years, was built. The sturdy old home- | stead was constructed for Brigadier ! General Williams, an officer of Wash- | ington’s staff, in 1780. The rafters of the house are of hand hewed cedar and the boards are fastened with hand | wrought iron nails, clinched. showing that the architecture of that day was | one of permanence. The house stands in the same form as it did when buMt in the days of generations ago, with- ut addition. For some time past it has been known as the Kinney home- stead, and the last Kinney to occup it was Dr. Elijah C. Kinney, an uncle of Dr. W. K. Tingley. The old house was the birthplace of the latter. Foi- lowing the death of Dr. Kinney thel! residence stood vacant for several| vears, and was purchased by W. H Allen about 31 years ago. For the past 23 years the house has been occupied by Mr, and Mrs. Moore. The house has fifteen rooms, and at the time of its construction was in the center of the exclusive residential section. While poring over some old papers and documents found in the house, Mr. Moore discovered an itemized bill for the the building of the house, the total amounting to 540 pounds steriing. An- other interesting feature of the old homestead is the fact that an old rose- bush which bloomed at least 85 years ago, and perhaps at the time of the construction of the house, still bears a singularly fragrant rose of an apple- blossom pattern. A few years ago Mr. Moore met a woman in front of the house who said she used to visit the people who lived there 80 years before that time. “In those days,” she told Mr. Moore, “ihere used to be a big bush of pink roses in the rear of the old smoke house, but of course it would be foolish to ask if they are there The old smoke house is still and the elderly lady was anding, brought her a bunch of the fragrant roses, which ghe remembered from her hildhoom. The bush wa san old one, | she said, when she was a little girl, | A few years ago two young ladies| from Providences with a diary of an aunt who formerly resided in the old homestead visited the house and, like others who visited the place, found much to delight their interest.

LONDON STI;(F(ED upP BY NEWS FROM TURKEY Powers May Coerce New Government to Make Peace. London, Jan. 23.—To the ambassa- dors of the powers who were congrat- ulating themselves that the concert of Burope had virtually settled the Near Eastern war; to the delegates of the allied Balkan states, and to all London, except the Turkish plenipe- tentiaries, the news of the resignation of Kiamii Pasha and the appointment of Mahmoud Shefket Pasha to the grand vizierate came as a bolt from the blue sky. Whether this means war to a finish with the “Young Turks” in the saddle, or is merely another exhibition of the resources of Turkish diplomacy none can say, nor can apyone definitely predict whether the powers will at- tempt to coerce Turkey into making peace or stand as spectatotrs while events take their course.
