France and Germany have been at
odds recently over the question OF
whether the former country should bn

influence in Morocco. The ruler of that
kingdom, AIulai Abdul Aziz, needs Eu
ropean assistance to maintain order in
his realm and make commerce safe,
but the iealousies Of the different pow

THE BURPEE CHECK
Tsrssd Over to 2. L TsttIs y Ex- -Trsassres
 Nathrep,

The fate of the check for $1,500 which Colonel Burpee offered the city some time ago in settlement of the sewage disposal question, not because he owed that amount, but simply to make sure that the city got all was coming to it and more, has since that time been something of mystery, some claiming that the check never was received and others contending that it had, but that it was returned by the treasurer, has been cleared up. and in the opinion of some folks that is the end of the snarl. The check was forwarded to Otis s. Northr0p, then city treasurer. but for some reason or other Mir Northrop kept 1t until his sue cessor, Edward L. Futile. came into office, who added it to the city's pile, so that the money is now on deposit to the credit of the city. Some say the end is not yet and hint that the pre- liminary step to further investigation was made yesterday by the board of finance when Comptroller Russell was requested to take steps to withhold money coming to people who are in- debted to the city. Supposing an em- ploye of the city has a receipt to show for his assessment, but no record Of payment appears on the comptroller's books, what will the comptroller do in such case? Evidently the finance board will pilot Mir Russell across that bridge when he comes to it.

 aid and other officials were appros ed.
 The several recommendations with
 reference to salaries were approved.
 but the vote of the department of health on the matter of transportation
 fees for the sanitary inspector and the milk and food inspectors, providing for $40 year for each, went over, the board believing it much better to approve these items from month to month. Commissioners Wells and Me Elligott thought it would be cheaper for the city to keep horse for the use of these officials. but MT Lord and MT Russell didn't see things that way, the latter inquiring how all three could manage to go different direc- tions in the same carriage. It was said that the department of charities has a horse that isn't used much and that possibly that could he pressed into service on and off Nothing defin- ite was decided upon in this respec4. but it is likely to come up again.
 When the commissioners got to the bills Mir Wells wanted to know why the city continued paying out money to employees who owe the city money. when the charter provides that the diff ference be deducted from his salary by the comptroller. There was long talk on this matter which was finally terminated by all agreeing that the comptroller get list of people who owe the city money so that he may know what to do in such cases. May or. Thoms was very much displeased at a charge in the engineers report for work done on South Main street. and remarked rather curtly that the department of public works had not yet decided to take hold of that pro feet and that he didn't know that any. body had authority to expend money there without all order from that board. But the bill went along with the others.

FOREIGN BORN CHILDREN
State Board of Edueatisa Refuses Wor1
 Certificates.

New Haven. Jan 19-The problem
 of foreign born children coming to this country, or being sent here merely to
 earn money which is sent back to their native countries either 10 defray the
 expenses of the trip of the rest of the
 members of the family or to help sup port them in their own country, is get
 ting to be serious one and is vexing considerably the state board of educa- ton officer. Giles Potter.
 Within the last week he has had to deal with three boys all of whom were under 14 years of age and none of whom could write or read English and who knew little of their own language. and who were sent here by their par ents to obtain positions so that they could earn money. In the past, work certificates were easy to be obtained by these foreign born children because it was taken for granted that they had received an education in their own country. By a law recently passed the state officer of the board of educa- ton has to examine critically Into their capabilities and in one week alone he found three of these unfor- luudte NdilB WHO Wefe COultectuil sent by their parents to work here to obtain money to bring over the rest Of the family. The times are changed since the father of the family came here to earn money to send to the old country to have the rest of the family brought to the golden country.
 It seems a shame to Mir Potter that these boys, hardly old enough to be away from home, should be sent to strange country to earn money for a big family In each of these three cases a work certificate was refused the boys and they will either have to find a position where the employer is interruptions enough to hire them not withstanding that they have no certifi- cate or else they will have to starve to death unless somebody with little hu- manity comes forward to support them. The school board has nothing else to do. They refused the work checks which mean almost salvation 10 the boys and have washed their hands clean of the whole affair.
