Pawtucket, r. T., FEB 27.-Miss Mary
e. Rogers, the strenuous High school;
teacher, who punched two of her big
boy pupils, was reinstated with honors
by the school committee Miss Rog-
ers gave her version of the affair,
which was substantially in accordance
with the statement published. She said
that when she struck Mcneil he was
In his seat, and in doing what she did
she felt that. she was perfectly justi-
fed.
sgThere seemed to be concocted
scheme on the part of certain young
men in the class to make trouble for
assuming my duties In the High school
and resolved to take a determined
stand. Realizing the Importance of
having discipline maintained, unless
proper respect Is shown for teachers,
| do not see how much progress can
be made in an educational way.
1T resolved itself into a question
as to whether the boys or myself
should run the school I was elected
for the purpose and If failed to take
n firm stand on the opening day knew
full we'll that there would be trouble
ahead.
AS result Of the investigation by
the school committee the two young
men concerned in the trouble were sals-
pended for two weeks. and the Joint
committee 'sheartilv sustained the ac-
ton of Miss Rogers.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
Bill for Cities to Repair Sidewalks
n VIII Probably Pass.

N
Mayor Kildufr and City Attorney
Kellogg appeared before the commit
tee on cities and boroughs at Hartford
yesterday in support of the bill provid-
Ing that sidewalk repairing be done
10y the city and paid for by the pub
lie. The mayor and the city attorney
explained that the walks are the prop
erty OF the city and that it was it's
duty to keep them in proper condition
for public travel. The present plan
has not proved satisfactory and be-
sides they believed with the board OF
aldermen that the proposed change
was fairer to all. r. X Brown was
opposed to the measure and pitched in
to the mayor and city officials with
out gloves. In the course of the bout
Mr. Brown estimated that the city had
been robbing him for years and the
mayor referred to Mr. Brown as one Of
Waterbury's wealthiest and most pro-
gressive citizens. 1t looked as IL the
committee would find 1t hard to do
otherwise than report favorably upon
the application. A hearing was also
held upon the bill providing for clerk
in the police department at a salary
OF $1,000 per annum, the clerk to be a
sergeant. The only objection Mr.
Brown offered to this was that the sal
airy should be fixed at Waterbury In
stead of In Hartford This bill will
be apt to pass, but It Ii not likely that
the one giving supernumeraries a long
er term of Office than at present will
go through. Nobody appeared In ia
yor OF it.
The bill now before the legislature
providing that trolley companies shall
light the streets they run through IL a
very important measure and the diff
ferent towns and cities In the state
should use every means In their power
to get 1T passed. Mayor Kilduff and
City Attorney Kellogg were in Hart
ford this week and said some good
things in support Of the BILL The
mayor and the city attorney were well
equipped with Just such information
as people want who believe that pri-
waite corporations should not be per-
mitted to rob municipalities. Since
the local trolley company laid rails in
North Main and North Willow streets
and on the Watertown road the city
has been beseeched both by petitions
and personal appeals for additional
| lights in these streets. and In every in
stance the principal reason offered as
to why the lights were needed was be-
cause of the danger to life and limb
in using the streets since the advent
of the trolley. The last appeal Of
this kind came from residents Of the
WATERFOWL road during the present
week They claim that a light should
be placed In that street at the point
where the street railroad enters upon
the highway so that drivers of teams
may be able to distinguish the high,
lway from the trolley road.
