USED RUBBER HOSE ON THE CHILDREN Charge Made Against Teacher of Seuth Windham Scheel. (Special to The Bulletin) Willlmantic, July 9.—A moest im- portant meeting of - the town school committee was held Wednesday eve- ning. The following members were present: Dr, Gulld, chairman; Curtis Deane, T, J, Kelly, C, C. Case, George S. Elliott, L. C. Lincoln and Mrs. Kate Spauiding secretary. Chairman George Taylor of the building committee of the new Natchaug school building ex- plained the plans and specifications of the new schoolhouse which he esti- mated would cost not far from $70,000. He said it _would be practically fire- proof, the Massachusetts standard of fireproof construction to govern the contractors in particulars whete the Connecticut statuteg did not apply. Town Counsel Kelly asked Mr. Taylor many questions which the chairman of the building committee answered in a clear and comvincing manner. C. C. Case, H, Dion and T. J. Kelly were appointed by Dr. Guild a sub- committee to examine and approve the new Natchaug plans and specifica- tions with power to act. Mrs, Richard Turner and Mrs. Wil- Mam Park presented a petition pro- testing against the retention of Miss Augusta Thomas as teacher at the school in South Windham. Eighteen scholars were represented on the pe- titfon which it was claimed after the meeting was drawn up- by Attorney T. J. Kelly. Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Park steted there was considerable dis- satisfaction with Miss Thomas’' work in South Windham in the matter of marking, her refusal to explain the les- sons to her scholars, the few promo- tions, and in her method of punish- ment. These petitioners claimed that Miss Thomas used rubber hose treat- ment that made the scholars fear her. Mrs. Turner said Miss Thomas had re- fused to dismiss her child at the time school was out one afternoon a week so she coulq attend a dancing school, and that she kept the scholars after school for some time, except in in- stances where she, Miss Thomas, had engagements. Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Parks each stated they thought the majority of her parents desired a change in the school taught by Miss Thomas. Dr. Guild, chairman of the school committee, said he believed there was a strong sentiment among the parents in South Windham in favor of Miss Thomas, who had signed a contract to teach the school another vear. He said many had come to him and spoken in excellent terms of. Miss Thomas' work, and that her friends fncludeq representative people like Mrs, Keller, Mr. Holmes and others. That there is strong feeling on both sides that has resolved itself in two factions in South Windham Is very evident. 7. J. Kellv thought the protest should receive serious consideration JAY Mi.

O, Linesln was peinted a committee to investigate ‘rhe matter and repert at a future meeting of the board. Principal_Burr of the state Normal school in Willimantic requested that the ‘model school be changed from ‘Windham Center to South Windham to secure better transportation factli- tles. If this is done the change may involve some changes in teachers that will settle the South Windham diffi- culty, C. C. Case was authorized to confer with Principal Burr with power to make the change if the state would bear the extra expense incurred. Changes In textbooks for the Natchaug and high schools were voted. Mr. Southworth was hired as janitor of the Natchaug school building and current bills were ordered paid. This last routine item of business included the bill of $50 of Mrs. Kate Spaulding for visiting schools In making a_ motion to pay these bills Attorney Kelly stated this item was not voteg by him. It was called to his attention after the meeting by L. C. Uincoln, and he, Lawyer Kel- ly, who is town counsel as well as a member of the school board, returned and withdrew his vote in faver of the payment of the bill. Town Counsei Kelly stated that it was contrary to the opinion that he had previously giv- en as to the legality of paying a school visitor a salary and he said he was sustained in his view of the law by Attorney General Light. Lawyer Kel- ly sharply criticised » the auditors, George Eliiott and H. Dion, for approv- ing a bill he (Kelly) declared was il- legal and Attorney Kelly saig if it was not withdrawn he should oppose its payment by the town treasurer. Mr. Elliott thought Mrs. - Spaulding’s bill was just and should be pald, but he said he (Elliott), had no intention of acting contrary to law and suggested that the town at its annual meeting would undoubtedly vote to compen- sate Mrs. Spaulding for her services as school visitor. This was also the opinion gf C. C. Case and Dr. Guild although Lawyer Kelly was non-com- mittal as to .what his attitude would be on this matter at a town meeting. Mrs. Spaulding said she had consulted an able attorney, who said her bill was legal and could be collected un- der the present law. After discussing the matter Mrs. Spaulding decided to withdraw the bill until action shall be taken at the an- nual town meeting in order not to place Town Counsel Kelly in an am- barrassing position. Members of the school board expressed their disap- proval of L. C, Lincoln's calling At- torney Kelly’s attention to the matter which delayed the payment of a legit- imate bill and one person present at the discussion thought that Town Counsel Kelly was straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel. BUYS GREENE HOMESTEAD. Helman Stern Acquires Fine Property Without the Aid of Alleged Broker. Wednesday Helman Stern, who claims the distinction of having trav- eled in South Africa, purchased of Fred 1. Greene his homestead in the castern part of Colchester on the Card road. The property brought about $5,000. An interesting feature of the deal was the somewhat amusing way in which a broker claiming to be from New, York formed Stern's acquaint- ance on the boat from New York and while the deeds were being passed yes- terday almost succeeded in securing several hundred. dollars as a commis- sion for selling the property in which the parties in interest said the “Smart Alek from New York had no part” The alleged New York broker cifered to advance Stern money on a mort- gage from which he was to deduct a commission. Mr. Greéne said another party, if anybody, had the right to a commission fee and he had had no dealings with the New York man. The papers were finally passed and the four-flusher from the metrepolis found he coulg not fool the Willimantic 1 lawyers, Attorney P. J. Danahey and seorge E. Hinman who conducted the legal proceedings. Mt. Holyoke Alumnae at Lake. Ten members of the alumnae of Mt.

Latter Alleged to VH-vo Got Commis- sion on City Contracts. Albany, N. Y. July 8.—Before the joint committee of the legisiature, John A. Connolly, former president of the Victoria Heating company of New York, today began his story of having paid to Supreme Court Justice Daniel I. Coholan, several years before Mr. Coholan's elevation to the bench, $3,949 for commissions on work alleged to have been procured from New York city departments as a result of polit- ical influence. Connolly, the only wit- ness called today, had not completed his direct tectimony when adjournment was taken until tomorrow. Connolly told of having destroyed or delivered to Judge Coholan documents relating to the transactions in ques- tion, and stated that the accused jurist acknowledged the incriminating chai- acter of one of the letters at the time by saying that if known it would af- ford ‘the basis of “a cas¢ for the grand jury. Continuing, Connoily told of hav- ng quarrelled with Coholan over the latter’ss demand for a larger sum than 55 per cent. alleged to have beea agreed upon as his share of the profits. The main commission payments, Cop- nolly said, were made in the two years ending in the fore part of 1906. Three years later, he said, he had endeavored to make Coholan return every cent of the “tribute” given him, and after & bitter controversy had effected this purpose by instituting a legal action. This action was suppressed, he contin- ued, on receipt of the money, with the stipulation that all records of the mat- ter should be destroyel. Hoiding in his hand a cancelled check for $55 which the witness testified he had paid to Coholan on account, counsel for the commission asked: “What did Coholan say when you gave him this?” “He exclaimed irritably,” the witness answered, “‘if you ever bring such small change as that in here again 1 will take the work away from you’ He always insisted on cash.” When a young man thinks a girt's plano practice is music—that is love.
