In Norwich last year the maximum n to I ra Derby $1000, Middletown $1,000, Nau- gatuck, Torringion, Shelton, stol and Danbury $950. G The proposed extra $100 for the Norwich salaries will make the ma mum $1,050 and minimum $700, w Ansonia’s minimum is $1,000. The resolution, which he was advocating, said Mr. Stewart, would make an in- crease in the tax list of less than two- thirds of one m. Judge John H. Barnes spoke bri in a breezy way, saving that he was one of those who signcd the petition for the meeting at the request of a teacher, but in advocating the passage of the resolution he did so as a friend and held no brief for anybody, nor did he want a fee. Of course, he said, he ought to advocate that the lawyers should have their pay raised, but next to the lawyers the teachers were cer- tainly the most deserving. He spoke of Rembrandt and Michael Angelo and how they always ascribed all they knew and amounted fo their teachers, and said while board might get teachers for less, the question was whether the teachers were asking for something that was fair and just. The school board had | done the best they could. The fire- men and policemen had been given a 30 per cent. raise, but the teach were not asking that tory had increased 50 and 60 per cent he hoped this resolution would passed. Explains School Board’s Position. President B. P. Bishop of the school board explained their position in the matter. He said that no men in Nor- wich were more loyal to the teachers and the schools, and they had tried to meet the teachers fairly and do justice towards the taxpayers from _every standpoint. The board members were the last ones to want the teachers half paid, for they wanted them well paid, and 'to maintain the good will of the teachers. For weeks the school board had been considering this question and had se- cured figures that would show Nor- vich compared well with other cities of its size. The board felt that it was not justified in recommending more than'a $100 increase, but if the tax- payers see fit to pass this resolution, that is quite another matter, and if the town votes for the raise the board will be very glad to have the teachers receive it. When we get above 6 mills in the tax for schools, we are at the danger point, said_President Bishop, and we have already reached that point. He quoted from a letter from New Lon- don that showed that both this city and that had ‘a maximum of $350 for e Ca pl a se: <} in of su r M = m: cot S va m; col their school teachers’ pay, and he in vited School Superintendent E.

MATTERN MUST ANSWER | IN SUPERIOR COURT To Charge of Misp Concealing berry. on of Felony in Whereabouts of Sals- George Mattern of Preston was pre- sented before Justice of the Peace Virtume P. A. Quinn at the Norwich state hospital for the insane at 2 o'clock on Friday afternoon, charged with misprison of felony in connection with the Salsberry murder case on May 6 in Preston. Court Stenogra- pher Graham iwas'in attendance and took the testimony. The state was represented by Lawyer Arthur M. Brown and Lawyer Thomas M. Shields apeared for the defendant. The state claims that Mattern through two letters he had received from Salsberry a few days after the shooting, one postmarked Newark, N. J., and one Philadelphia, which fact Mattern did not divulge to the au- thoritiees, was guilty of misprison of felony, which is the concealment of the place of resort of a criminal when one has knowledge of the same. The wife of Salsberry testified that Mattern told her not fo worry about her husband because he (Mattern) thought that Salsberry was in Texas or some other place that Mrs. Sals- berry had forgotten the name of. Sheriff Draper and County Detective Jackson testifieq briefly that Mattern admitted to them having received two such letters from Salsberry. The de- fense put in no testimony. The state claims that Mattern's failure to disclose the fact that he had received letters from Salsberry was wit hintent to obstruct justice and | prevent the apprehension and punish- ment of Salsberry. To this charge Mattern claims that his failure to ac- quaint the ‘authorities with the facts was through fear that it might involve him in some way and from a natural disinclination to be in any way con- cerned in such a notorious and un- pleasant matter. 3 The matter was argued briefly and Judge Quinn expressed his opinion that the state had made out a prima facie case, although in his opinion it would | be quite unlikely that any jury would agree to convict Mattern, but since the prima facie case had been made out he had no alternative but to bind Mat- tern over to the September term of the criminal superior court. Bonds were fixed at $1,000 and were provided by Mattern's mother. This case is an unusual one, as the crime is an old common law misde- meanor. Judge Swift mentions it in his digest and further states that he never knew a prosecution under it. The law is almost obsolete in the United States, as in most states there are statutes to take care of such a situation. Local lawyers do not recall any such action ever having been taken in this locality. The law comes from the old English common law that was in exect in Colonial days. REV.

The hens in the contest at seem to be gradually little each week, but this must be ex- pected at this season of the year, and also from now on because of the fact that some of the poor producing hens want to molt at this season of the year.
