.JANITORS ARE UNEASY
But Commissioners Griggs Says 1t is
Without Cause.

/ An impression has gone among the
school janitors that some of them
/ will have to walk the plank as did
Lawrence Brennan, janitor of the
Clay street school some weeks ago.
Commissioner Griggs, chairman of the
committee on school buildings and n.y.
/ giene the committee which handles
| the janitors, said this morning that SO
| far as he was aware there was no
| need for any such apprehension, and
| he presumed that he would be made
aware of anything that was doing in
this line
II don't know where such an inn
preston originated" said Commits
sioner Griggs, $50 far as am aware
all of the janitors are doing their
work and doing it very well. We
have had no complaints from them
since the new salary schedule went
into effect, though one or two of them
thought at first that his wages was
reduced"
ut is reported that in month or
so the janitors will have to be reap
pointed and that some of them may be
dispensed with"
IF that is 30 / do not know of 1t
Their reappotntment may be a mere
matter of form for / believe they are
appointed until their conduct warrants
their discharge as in that case few
weeks ago. I am not aware that
complaints have been made against
any of the janitors, nor have we had
any complaints from them. When the
salaries of a few of them were read
justed a week ago, one of them did
complain but that was on account of
mistake made in the newspaper re-
port of the meeting of the board The
newspaper said this janitor's salary
was raised from $40 to $500 and the
janitor Of course believed the report.
He did not see why he should be ex-
pected to do work for $40 that few
hundred dollars a year had been paid
for, but when it was explained that
it was mistake he was satisfied. /
believe the ianftors are all satisfied
with the new schedule, and I don't
think any will have to face any
charges

BABCOCK'S MONEY
Judge Wheeler Decides That 1t Be-
lonSs to the Estate.

After being about year under con-
sideration, Judge George w. Wheeler
of the superior court decided to-day
the interpleader of the Waterbury Saw
ings bank against Laura Babcock. The
contention was the ownership of vari-
GUS deposits aggregating $3,406.68.
The late William Sumner Babcock,
son of the defendant, prominently 1den-
titled with the WaterVille Cutlery Co,
was the direct opposite of the man who
has no faith in savings banks. Mr.
Babcock. it appears, had not only the
greatest faith in them, but seemed to
have had fad for depositing money
In them. He died about two years ago
and the question just settled Is sup
posed to also settle number Of other
questions OF the same kind which have
come up in New York and Massacnu-
sets.
The bank officials of Waterbury APP
reared to be well acquainted with Mr.
Babcock's fad for banking. When he
would offer a deposit the clerks would
decline to accept the whole sum in
his name. He would then deposit 1t In
the name of some member of his fam
ily. and thus. it is said, he left de-
posits in all of the local savings banks
and those of the adjoining states.
Two of the deposits he made here
were in the name of Laura Babcock.
his mother, $1,695.78 and another in
the name of his brother, George j. At
torney Bronson was executor of his
estate and some time after his death
the question arose to whom did tue
money In bank belong. The ordinary
person would say that of course 1t be-
ionged to those in whose names it was
deposited, but Judge Wheeler has de-
cided otherwise. His memorandum OF
Judgment says that the sums in the
plaintiffs bank are the property Of the
executor and are a part of Mr. Bah
cocks estate.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-04-25

Mr. Troup's contention in this cam
paign is against Mr. Homer S. Cum
mngs, the present national commit
teeman from Connecticut Mr. Cum
mings, in the opinion of Mr.. Troup,
acted treacherously in the democratic
state convention held In Waterbury
DIN 1900, and played a double part in
the meeting of the national delegates
after their selection. AS everyone
knows, Mr. Troup is patient waiter
and takes great consolation in the
maxim that everything comes to the
man who waits. He may not be able
to hang Mr. Cummings political hide
on the fence, but his disposition is
good and he will leave no stone I'M
turned to accomplish that purpose.
Mr.. Troup allied himself with the
Hearst men in Connecticut TO bring
about the political decapitation of
Homer s. Cummings. His object is
to do Cummings with the aid of the
Hearst men and in return, for that aid
to do loyal service to give Mr. Hearst
the delegation from Connecticut to
the st Louis national convention.
