Il was also cognizant Of the fact
that said Holmes had previously fur

which their plans for changing or
manipulating the cotton report figures

To Break the Price of Cotton.
1T was planned. as early as March
to use every effort they could TO Sc
cure figures that would be rs bearlsh
as possible. so as to break the price
of cotton TO a low point where certain
interests could make large pToftS on
the short side. and then load up ana
make an enormous scoop on the long
side. 1t was arranged. that IN some
cases government agents reports
would be influenced in that direction
or even fictitious reports used.

it was impossible to get the condition

THE FIRST KNIGHT.
Man Who Organized the Order In
 New York State Here.

Sam D. Cronin of Brooklyn, \. Y. his relatives in Waterbury and re- turned home to-day, It may he re- nlembered that Mir Cronn instituted the pilgrimage to the grave of the Ray M. J. McGivney in St JOseph's ceme- tery on Sunday, June 10. 1900. The party of 300 was entertained by the committee of local councils. The event was the most notable in the history of the order. 8 detailed account of which was printed in the Democrat. James A. Rooney, editor on the Brook lyn Eagle, was chairman of the press committee. Mir Cronin organized Brooklyn council, No 60. the first council instituted in the state of New York, on September 16, 1891. Since that time he reports that AS councils have been instituted on Long Island, with a membership of 13,OOO. The home and headquarters are at Hansen place and South Portland ave- nue. The property was purchased by the Long Island chapters and incOr- porated under the laws of the state of New York, known as the Knights of Columbus institute. The building is a four-story structure, provided with three spacious council chambers where the Brooklyn councils meet The office of the Employment bureau, the Hospital Bed fund and the Cath ollie Truth society and well equipped club room are found for the members of the order. The board of trustees recently had an offer of S25.OOO over the price paid for the property.

roo MANY IR0Ns.
IlSsms City Employss Draw salary and Do Outsi1s Work.

I The little hitch between one of the
 local school principals and the department of education has
 been settled to the satis~
 faction of everybody. and parents Of
 children attending this particular
 school feel more comfortable today
 than they did at any time the question came up. The principal was said to be doing little law business during his spare moments and this excited the
 envy of some parties, who took the
 ground that man receiving salary from the city should devote his entire time to his work. and it is understood
 that the principal was given the an
 formative to get out of the legal pro- fession or resign from the school de-
 partment. He decided to continue to Keep his school up to its present high standard of efficiency and the decision is hailed with joy by his pupils and friends. If this rule should be applied to all employees Of the city more than one man would lose quite considerable income. For instance. the judge of the city court has nearly twice the sal ary the principal receives. and the city employs another official to do his work when he has other irons in the fire, which seems to be quite frequent. The city attorney draws salary of $2,5lW year. but this does not deprive him of anything he may be able to do aside from his regular work. and in like manner the clerks. sheriffs. school in- spector and everybody you can think of from the mayor down has all the rope he wants in this respect and nos body finds fault. You see 1t depends somewhat upon who happens to be the offending party, although in general way 1t would seem that a teacher should he required to give his whole time to his work. And 1t would be | good thing, too. if every person whose name is on the city payroll were obliged to do likewise. except in cases where the compensation amounts to little or nothing. The city attorney should have an office in the City hall building and devote his whole time to municipal affairs. and if the salary is not large enough make it wliat it ought to be. Does anybody suppose that the proposed sewage disposal plant would have got into the courts if the city attorney had nothing to do but keep his eye on it? But of course if things were done on this plan the other limbs of the law would be out side the breastworks altogether. so far as city patronage goes. and some of them would not stand for that It would be paying speculation fot Wa terbury to pay the city attorney about $5.OOO, with the understanding that he would do all the legal work of tha city, and if he wanted other counsel from time to time let him pay for it out of his own salary.
