 Because their employer, Richard Dillon, the proprietor of the restaurant at flle U11ion station in New Haven, told them to be a little more careful in ringing up the cash registers, as by their present system the cash on hand didn't correspond with register sheet. the six walters at the depot went on strike yesterday. According to Mfr Dillon the cash registers have been short of late so yesterday morning he spoke to the girls about it, Anti they naturally became indignant. He told them that perhaps the shortage was due to carelessness in ringing up the amounts purchased by customers. For instance if a f1erson ru1rc1a sad DH ceySfs worth. the girls might carelessls punch the 35 cent key, hence the st'3rtage There was no suggestion of dishonesty.

CONNECTICUT CHARITIES.
The Care of Children Under Four
 Years One Question Discnssed

The Care of Children Under Four
 Years One Question Discussed
 There was a lively tilt at the annual meeting of the Connecticut Charities association in the aldermanic chamber yesterday afternoon, in which the Wa terbury delegation proved that they knew their business and were bound to perform it. The legislative commits tee submitted a draft of an act to be submitted to the next session of the general assembly for a revision of the present law with reference to the care Of children who become public charges between the ages of and IS years, so as to make it apply to children under years as well as to those over that age. Superintendent Doran and Com. missioners Finn and Filling of the Wa terbury board of charities did not like the law, but it seemed to please almost all the others, until Mir Finn and MT Moran made it's weak points so plain that the men who recommended its passage didn't want to see it go through, and it was finally referred to new committee consisting of J. 5. Pease, 0. H. Wells, George W. Miller. Mortimer Doran, William W. Stillman and NJ. J. Langford.
 The law as 1t now exists forbids towns to maintain children over years of age at almshouses, but they can and do keep children under that age until their natural owners take care of them. This is the only thing that can be done in such cases, since the county homes will not accept the. little tots. The intention of the pro- posed change, 30 its framers said, was to legislate so that county homes should maintain nurseries where towns could send babies if they de- sired. They did not intend to make 1t compulsory, but the paper submitted read that way, and that Is why 1t re- ceived such a hammering After a child Is committed to the county home then the commissioners become its legal guardians and can turn 1t over to anybody they please, so that q child born in an almhouse to-day could be committed to the county home to-nor- row and handed over to an utter stranger the next day. and when its mother got out of her bed and wanted her child she couldn't even find ont where it was. and. as one of the dele gates said, the county commissioners could whistle at her and the town tbat sent it there. After it was made plain nobody cared to say good word for the change, the opinion being general that a woman ought to have .show'' at least to care for her own offspring, even if 1t is of illicit birth, before it is torn from her bosom and put out of her reach forever. There was no oh lection to a law which would give towns the right to place infants in county homes with the understanding that the selectmen or board of charities of the towns sending them there would be their guardians until they had at tained the age of years. and it is probable that the association will agree upon change to that effect.

ternoon in City Court.
 Soon after the case of Benjamin Witkowski vs Samuel Forman started before Judge Peasley in the city court yesterday afternoon, the lawyers en- gagged, Marcus and Cassidy, became in- volved in a severe tangle. Cassidy, representing Forman, moved for non suit Marcus objected and so the scrap went oRs until Judge Peasley de cided for Cassidy, and that ended this rather famous case. The issue was over $3, the value of a sign which the defendant was alleged to have taken. Forrnan conducted a store on East Main street, near Witkowski's cloth ing store. He sold to one Rap pleman, removing all things that he did not sell. Kappleman then sold to Wftkowski. Over the door was large sign. Forman claimed to have retained title to this and removed it. Kappleman did not know anything about it and did not object to it's re- moval. But Witkowski did, and when Forman refused to return it he entered suit

DUMMY DIRECTORS.

The investigation now going of the
organization, operations and wrecking of
the United States Shipbuilding Company
has familiarized' new expression-"dum

has been long in use in high financial cir
cles and is now made public for the first
time or whether II is strictly new COIN
age the Journal is unable TO say, but II is
expressive. Everybody knows in general
way what a dummy is-a sham or lay
figure which serves to exhibit clothing or
perform some other Iifeless part. Every
body knows also in a general way what a
director in a corporation is or should be-
one who assists in directing and managing
its affairs in the interest of stockholders.
But dummy director is a new combi-
nation. The present investigation has
brought out the fact that three men who
were employees of the Corporation Trust
Company of New Jersey acted for three
months as directors OF the United States
Shipbuilding Company, signing important
papers. etc., without knowing anything Of
its affairs. One OF them, Mr.. Frederick
| Seward. who was secretary of the original

for 80 corporations. 1t would seem to be

TO furnish dummy directors to order. prob
