IN ANSWER INSISTED UPON
To a Question Put to superintendent
Kendall.

| James D. Dewell, jr., yesterday sent
| letter concerning a question which he
put to Superintendent Kendall at a
meeting of the committee on supervis-
ors some time ago:
New Haven, Conn, Nov. %, 1899.
To the Honorable Board Of Education,
New Haven. Conn:
Gentlemen: Either four or five weeks
ago at one of the meetings of the COM
mittee investigating the supervisor sys-
tenn ! asked Superintendent Kendall
this question: What part Of the diff
ference between $3.50 and $2.37 has been
saved because of supervision" This
question was asked Mr.. Kendall be-
cause when he testified before The COM
nittee he made this statement: Cost
per pupil enrolled in schools below high
schools, 1S99-9O, $3.50; 1Ss4-95, $3.50;
1S99-19OO, s2.S7."
superintendent Kendall was. unable
to answer my question, neither could
Mr.. Moran, but said he would have the
matter looked VI, and answer it at
some. future meeting Of the committee.
TO my knowledge this question has
never been answered, although l have
made repeated requests for an answer.
1t seems to me that this question
which is based upon Superintendent
Kendalfs own figures and statements
ought to be answered in five weeks.
The question is important to the tax
payers | represent, and they would like
to know, too whether some Of this diff
ference Is not because you have more
pupils and the game expense.
IS it not true some years that the in
crease in pupils adds but little to the
salary account? If this is so, would it
not decrease the per capita cost?
| do not wish to be understood, be-
cause l am asking, question upon this
statement of superintendent ,Kendalrs
as considering 1t a fair statement, for
do not. But rather agree with Rector
Fox that in giving cost per capita all
pupils ought to be counted-not certain
grades where the cost may be a little
lessas in no other way can the tax
payers get an Intelligent idea Of the
cost per capita and whether it has in
creased or decreased the last few years.
Very respectfully,
iss 1'sUalnes D. DeweIl, IT.

FILE WORKS ATTACHED.

Attorney George r. Cooley has
brought an action for the foreclosure
of mortgage of $1,000 held by Mrs.
George Rotman, wife of grocer,
against William r. Chambers, the pro-
prietor of the Bee Hive File works at
191 Olive street. A keeper has been in
charge of the works, which are still
running. Interest on the mortgage is
overdue to the amount of over $500. The
mortgage covers the file works and the
residence of the owner adjoining 1t is
possible that settlement may be made
by which Chambers can continue to run
the business.
This concern is one of the Oldest file
making companies in New England.
The present proprietor has been con-
nected with it for thirtyfive years and
his father, now deceased, ran the bust
ness for many years before.
The Chambers have always made their
files by hand, and of late years have
had hard work competing with concerns
which use machinery.
Some time ago the owner of the prop
erty about to be foreclosed was offered
900 for 1t, but it is probable that a
sum much less would be realized if
forced sale was made

relating to the contents of the book,

tus, cannot be considered on appeal,
where the only evidence in the record

the remainder OF it's contents would
have complied with the contract.

AN INTERESTING DECISION.

A case involving the right to refuse
payments of a subscription to a pub
lshed work on the ground that it did
not come up to the mark as outlined
in the prospectus has just been decided
by the supreme court. Judge Hall wrote
the opinion Of the court in which may
be found the latest law on the subjects.
Dr. C. b. Graves Of New London,
September 27. 1895, subscribed for a
copy of "The New England States.
Their Constitutional, Educational, Com
rnercial, Professional and Industrial
History" the book to be published by
d. Fl. Hurd & Co., of Boston, for which
he was to pay on delivery $50. Dr.
Graves refused to take the books and
pay the subscription on the ground
that the work was not as represented
and contained cheap commonplace
sketches of individuals of little or no
prominence written by themselves or
persons of little or no ability or noto-
riety, and was very largely composed
of oltraits Of individuals of no histor-
ical Importance or value, who paid for
the insertion of said portraits large
sums, for the purpose of an advertise
ment; and was also composed of cheap,
commonplace advertisements, Of certain
business concerns, written by people of
no ability or prominence
The case was tried in the court of
common pleas in Hartford county, who
gave a judgment in favor of DIR.
Graves. The plaintiff appealed and
Judge Peck's judgment was affirmed.
One of the reasons of the appeal was
that "if what is termed the months
torieal matter had not been contained
in the work. the remainder of the CON
tents of the work would have met the
requirements of the title and fulfilled
the terms of the subscription contract
The record of the case does not disclose
that during the trial any question of
law was decided, the judgment being
based on the facts as found Excep-
tons were taken by the appellants for
the refusal of the court to make addi-
tional findings. The court saws:
l. Findings of fact cannot be correct
ed on appeal, where the appellant fail
ed to file a written motion requesting
the particular corrections devised in
the trial court, and stating his reasons
and ground for the same as required
by chapter 1874 of the acts of 1899: and

The first issue of the Financial Year
Book of Connecticut is just out from
the publishing office Of the Record Pub
fishing company, and is one Of the
most valuable books published in this

will be useful to business men all over
Connecticut. The book contains di-
rectory Of national banks with their
history and financial statements, of
savings banks, concise table of esti-

trust companies, and of life and fire
insurance companies. Besides these
valuable reference directories the book
contains financial statements of the
railroads, both steam and electric, in

panies, and water companies. There
Is a clear statement of the indebted
ness of state, counties, towns and cities
and the volume ends with a complete
directory of all the directors Of corpora
tons and companies in Connecticut,
that is extremely useful as reference
book. The idea of the publishers to
get out such a book each year will UNI
doubtedly prove extremely popular all
over the state, as such a book has long
Been needed and will meet a quick and
appreciative welcome. In future vol
umes the statements will be revised to
date and a set Of the books will form
a complete and running record of bust

COurt Cnaps

The hearing Of the suit of Charles c.
Smith VS. the Security Insurance COM
pany was continued before Judge FL
mer in the superior court yesterday.
Mr.. Chase introduced a deposition made
by Herbert C. Fuller, who was clerk Of
the company, now special agent, rela-
tive to the visit of John Morse to the
office upon the day before the fire, when
ne called relative to renewing the pol
icy. Mr. Chase had taken the deposit
ton because he was not sure of having
the witness when the case came to
trial.
Charles T. Armstrong was introduced
as witness yesterday. He is a son Of
the late Lorenzo Armstrong, who held
the mortgage on the Morse house and
retained the insurance policy. The
plaintiff is endeavoring to prove by his
testimony that the policy was not ac-
cessible at the time of the proposed
transfer to Mr.. Smith, because Rich
mond Armstrong had the papers and
he was ILL., The plaintiff claims that
the insurance company, knowing where
the policy was, waived the right of see
ing it for few days and agreed to
mage the transfer meanwhile.
Mr.. Webb objected to this evidence
because he said II did not show that an
effort had been made to get the policy.
Mr.. Chase, attorney for Smith, went on
the stand to testify to the condition of
Richmond Armstrong at the time in
question.
ME- 4 Webb in cross examining Mr..
Armstrong brought out the fact which
was admitted after objection, that Mr..
Armstrong expects to realize from this
suit, If it is successful, and that he has
borne SO far the expenses of the trial.

MORE TROOPS NEEDED.
Mexican Government Will Send
Them Against the Yaquis.

AUSTIN (Tex.), Dec. ia special
from Ortiz, State of Sonora, Mexico,
states that the Mexican authorities are
contemplating sending more troops into
the Yaqui Indian country at once, as
it is thought that the present force will
not be able to cope with the situation.
General Torres now has some 5000
men, but it will take at least that many
more or possibly twice that number.
owing to the geographical conditions
surrounding the uprising which pre-
vents successful military movements.
The Indians are so scattered that I'M
less more troops are sent to the front
to engage the small rowing bands they
will continue to depredate the country
and harass the soldiers under General
Torres until they wear them out. There
are now about 1,500 Indians engaging
the attention of the soldiers, while the
remainder of the 5000 braves who are
on the warpath have scattered into
small rowing bands for the purpose of
pilfering. These rowing bands of In
dams are capturing supply trains sent
out to the Mexican forces in the field
They have of late captured several
trains containing provisions and am
munition.

REV. SMITHS SOLUTION.
What He Would Do in the Interest
Of Woman and the Home.

ST. PAUL, Dec. 17.-Rev. George D.
Smith of the Peoples Church, whose
arguments against women wage earn
ers have attracted so much attention
all over the country, tonight presented
his solution Of the trouble DR.. Smith
said:
My statistics were taken from the
very latest reports. The awful condi-
lions remain unchanged. The decrease
OF child labor has been paralleled by the
increase in the labor of girls between IA
and Is years which is falsely called wo-
man labor.
-Four States forbid women to work
in mines. These laws should be ex-
tended to about one hundred of their
present occupations which are too Sc
we're and too unhealthy Then all girls
under Is years should be forbidden to
be employed in commercial and indus
trial pursuits. These measures would
cut down woman labor one half. Then
movement, largely social and moral.
but also by woman organizing, should
be made effective to give women who
do equal work with men the same
wages. Thus the family standard of
wages would supplant the individual
standard. The various assaults upon
the family must be resisted, for it is
the social unit The madonna with her
own child in her arms must not be de-
throned to make room for the public
woman. Divorce in this country is in
creasing two and a half times as fast
as the population. 1t parallels the in
dustrial invasion of woman. In twenty
years divorces have doubled in the
State of Ohio, while marriages actually
decreased"
