BEFORE CITY FINANCIERS
NEW SALARY SCHEDULE
Board of Education Loses No Time in Putting It
 Before Other Board.

The board of education is losing no time in getting the announcement of its new salary schedule before the board of finance. Yesterday morning the communication from the former board detailing the new salary sched- ule, together with the sums of extra money which will be required to put 1t into effect before January 1, if the board of finance should be able to &C., complish it, was presented to the city clerk Edward Street, and at the board of finance meeting in the afternoon the communication was read. It was then laid on the table until next weeks meeting, when the firemen's application for increase in pay will also come up again.
 A note from William IT. Hackett, president of the Teachers league, ask ing whether the board would hold public hearing on the petition of the teachers for salary increase on the evening of June 20. was received. The board was uncertain as to whether the letter was intended as request for a hearing or simply as a request for in- formation as to the intentions of the board. The action of the board will be communicated to Mir Hackett, and if request for public hearing is made one will probably be set for later date
 A delegation of Ninth ward citizens was heard in favor of the building of an assembly hall in the new Ivy street school building now in course of con struction.

 The Security Insurance company yes- terday declared a dividend of 1-2 per cent. payable July to stockholders of record June 15 The books will be closed from June 15 to July 1. s
 The declaration of this dividend iS of special interest as it makes the re- sumption of dividend disbursements by this established and progressive New Haven financial institution a resunip- tion which is very gratifying, occurring as it does in little over year since it. in common with insurance compan- ies generally received a, severe blow by lcsses occasioned by the San Francisco fire The company's loss by that fire was $412,000, but it will be seen that it has again become prosperous insti- tuition. The present dividend is at the rate of 7fts per cent. per annuam as com- pared with the 8 per cent paid on the stock on the former basis
 The announcement can but be pleas- ing to the company's stockholders, es- pecially as 1t comes so soon after such a disaster. It will be also gratifying to our citizens who take pride in the pros- perity of our home financial institu- tions.

ASSAULT STORY. Fierce Attack by the De- fense on Orchards
 Story. BRADLEY POISONING. Prisoners Testimony Cor roborated by Witnesses
 for State.
BRADLEY POISONING.

Boise, Idaho, June 1S.-Tte men who
 are battling to save the life of William
 o. Haywood and the good name of the
 their greatest assault upon Harry Orch ard to-day, when carrying the review
 by cross-examination of his life of crime down to his confession, they, bit-
 terly assailed his guiding motives. Six days they spent in stripping him be-
 fore the jury of every shred of morality and then, suddenly turning upon him in final fierce attack, they fought with every means known to the legal craft to convince the jury that Orchard was committing crime of falsely swear ing away the lives of innocent men in the hope of saving his own. They car rfed their attack to the very language with which the witness answered their questions and everywhere they alleged by forceful implication that 1t was put into his mouth by men controlling him.
 This series of quickly delivered at- Jacks gave to the trial amid scenes centering around the high witness CHdlF III JuuSS WOOu COuIl d uSplu OL dramatic intensity, a compelling hu- man interest that gripped anl held every man and woman who watched and listened.
 Immediately Orchard left the stand the state began the corroboration of the Bradley poisoning story Mrs. Sa- die Swan, who as Miss Sadie Bell was a maid in the Bradley home at Silver Creek; the milkman who sold the milk that was poisoned, and P. L. McCreary, the chemist who analysed the poisoned milk, carried the revolting tale of the discovery, because of it's bitterness, that the milk was poisoned, to the analysis that showed from forty to sixty grains of strychnine in a quart of 1t. Mrs. Swan identified Orchard and connected him with the house. They all confirmed the date as within three or four days of the explosion, and Mrs. Swan swore that she opened the front door to get the morning pa per few minutes before the explosion and saw nothing on the steps. There will be further testimony as to the Bradley incident tomorrow.
