FEES TOO

The lawyers of the city yesterday voiced their protest against the charges of stenographers when, upon motion of Attorney Harry c. Day. a resolution providing for the appointment of a committee to investigate their fees was adopted at the meeting of the New Ha- ven County Bar association. The com mittee appointed consists of MT. Day, Corporation Counsel Daggett and At torney k. P. Arvine. This committee will make a report of the result of it's probing at tho next meeting of the as- sociation.
 In the court work, by statutory pro- vision ten cents a folio is allowed a stenographer for typewriting. There are about 100 words in a folio, and gen erally two folis comprise a page of a legal book, so that a book of evidence taken in court costs at the rate of twen- ty cents a page. Some of the lawyers think that the charge Is too much, es- pecially as the ordinary rate in vogue among stenographers for outside work is five cents a folio.

RUSSELL FOR ALDERMAN.

Nominated Last Night by Republicans
 Democrats Go to Court Monday.
 The republicans of the Fourteenth ward met in caucus at S4 East Grand avenue last night and nominated Berne A. Russell, the temporary in- cumbent, for alderman in that ward to take the place of Arthur B. Brown, resigned. MT. Russell was the only candidate and the vote for him was unanimous. The election will be held on February 5.
 The democrats have decided not to heed the call for a special election, holding that the call is not legal They claim that Mir. Browns resignation should have been accepted by the board of aldermen and not by the mayor. Attorney Matthew A. Rey- holds has their side of the case in hand and will argue it when it comes Up in the civil side of the city court on Monday next. The democrats have filed papers showing ten reasons why they consider that the action taken by the republicans was illegal.
