Four Hundred City Laborers VIII
Each Receive a Check From City
Auditor Lake This Morning-The
New Plan for Weekly Payments TO
be Tested To.day-The special A I'D
iting Committee of the Court of
Common Council to be Present and
Watch the Effect. -4--1--'---
This morning at II O'Clock the new sys-
tenn for paying the city lsborers by checks
direct from the city auditor will go into
effect. About four hundred laborers will
assemble at the city hall and receive checks
for their weekly earnings. It is thought
that this will be good test of the new
system in consequence of the large number
of laborers to be paid. A executive ses-
sion of the special auditing committee was
held yesterday afternoon, at which Alder
men Gallagher and Hitler and Councilman
Parish were present. Mayor Sargent and
Alderman Hoadley were absent in Hart
ford. Alderman Gallagher and Council
man Parish, who were appointed sub
committee to devise some plan Of payment
at previous meeting, made their report
Of the arrangements which had been per-
footed. The committee have now pracH.
cally devised a plan whereby the city Ia
borers have one paymaster and will event.
ually, 1t Is said, try to secure some plan
whereby but one man shall re csive moneys
instead of 1t being done by everyone, as at
present.
The provisions of the city charter con-
corning the payment of money are con-
tanned in Section 81 of that document.
This seetion declares in effect that all
claims accounts against the city shall be
transmitted to the city auditor who shall
carefully examine them and lay them before
the board of finance for approval.
When the claims are approved they
aIe numbered and entered upon book.
kept for that purpose. When claims
have been so presented, approved, num-
bored and placed upon the books of the
city 1t then becomes the duty of the city
clerk to draw his order on the city treas
urer for the amounts due and place the
orders in the hands of the auditor, who
| countersigns each order and disburses It t.
| the claimants. The paying of the cit.
laborers has always been q source of con
siderable difficulty If not irregularity. Tn
amounts due to the men employed on tn
city streets, especially under the week.,
payment system, are usually small, rang
Ing from rs cents for half days labo
for shoveling snow to 50 or $40 for q week
work in cleaning off the crosswslks.
The 400 checks have all been made out
and of course this required consiaerabl
extra work on the part of the city clerk
city auditor and Clerk Bassett, who kindl
volunteered to assist in the extra work re
quired, and worked until midnight Wednei
day to complete the making out of tn
checks. The officials feel, however, tbs
the taxpayers demand reform, and oonst
quently are willing to take charge of tn
extra amount of work that falls on then
The auditing committee will be present i
body to watch the operation of the syi
tenn this morning. 1t is Understood this
there will be come fault found on sccour
of the laborers being obliged to spend tt
time to come and get their money in tn

LAW SCHOOL MEN FIGHT.

An Exciting Baseball Meeting Yester-
day Afternoon In Which the Stu
dents Nearly Came to Blows-An
Organization Perfected.
A meeting of the law school WAS held
yesterday afternoon. It was called to order
by President Parsons of the Kent club.
It was voted to form an association to be
known IS the Yale Law School Baseball
association. A committee of five was ap-
pointed to prepare constitution and re-
port at subsequent meeting. The fol-
lowing officers were elected: President,
Roger s. Baldwin, 1913; secretary and treas
urer, Couse, 81. When the question of
electing manager came up, hard and
bitter two hours wrangle ensued,
and several of the students near
ly came to blows in the heat of
the discussion. 1t all came about
over the question whether or not the man
sger should be elected from the junior or
senior class. The upper classmen were
paralyzsd to think that the juniors should
have the audaeity to think of putting one
of their number in the coveted position,
and they fought tooth and nail to down
the under clsssmen. Bowers nominated
n. R. Durant '94 for the position, and
Hincks 's3 was put up by the seniors.
Fiery speeches were in order for several
minutes from the supporters of each can
didate, and then Hincks' friends, seeing
that they were in the minority, tried several
times to adjourn the meeting, but each time
the motion was voted down. Here the
Pond appeared from the superior court
room below and said that If they did not
make less noise they would have to vacste
the premises. They then oalmed down
somewhat and vote was taken which re-
suited in the election of Durant. The vote
was 80 close, however. that tho friends of
the latter wisely decided to put the matter
off until Saturday morning between 8 and
IL o'clock, when each class will vote for
its candidate.
Durant is the choice of all the players,
and will undoubtedly be elected, as he has
had much experience In baseball matters
while employed on the staff of this paper.
he was sent with the New Haven team,
then in the Atlantic association, as special
correspondent for the COURIER While
city editor of the Waterbury Republican in
1891 and 1892 he was manager of the
Waterbury team which for two years has
won the state championship, and secretary
and treasurer of the Connecticut league.
Nobody questions his fitness for the posi-
ton, and yet, despite the fact that Hincks
has had no experience, the seniors declare
that he must be elected or they will not
support the team said junior last night:
1--WE are going to elect our man, and we
don't care whether the seniors contribute q
cent or not, as we can raise the money
easily enough. We want a man of expert
ence, and furthermore We want to place
our money in the hands of one who knows
how to handle tn
