It is true that the men fought nothing but mosquitoes but it Is safe to say that had the chance been offer ed they would have acquitted them selves as creditably as the Rough Rid CTS or any other body that saw actual service In the struggle of ten years ago,

LOCAL MEN NAMED Board of Education Appoints Claude Russell Principal
 of Dwight School. 23 HOME TEACHERS PICKED Local Sentiment PredomiDates at Meeting Last Night-Other
 Business.
23 HOME TEACHERS PICKED

The routine business of the board of education was matter of little con cern comparatively at the board meet ing last night and although it was properly cared for the appointments and other matters before the board oc- cupied most of the time. One import ant matters. In view of previous oc- currences was discussed and that was the appointement of Claude Russell to the principalship of the Dwight school. Mir. Russell was nominated by the su- perintendent which to all intents was an appointment, at a salary of sl,000. It was inquired as to who he was and 1t was stated that he wae local man.
 In support of this Mir. Moran of the school committee stated that the ap- pointee was graduate of the gram mar schools of the normal school and was all in all qualified for the position to which he was appointed. The board at once ratified the appointment with the remarks by members that if local man showed the training and the standing in ability he would be given a chance.
 Much local emphasis was made on all the appointments. The school com mittee pointed with pride to the fact that 23 local Normal school graduates had been appointed. The committee said 24 would have been named but for the fact that the other took a po- sition elsewhere. Every member ex- pressed the sentiment of local persons first if able to hold the position.
 The estimate of the principel of the high school on the attendance there the coming year was handed in and stat ed that 1t was expected that at least 2100 scholars will be there the next term. This is an increase of about 200 and will require the opening of two more rooms In the building.
 By the new changes in the city char ter which call for the estimates of al city departments during August tn, board was informed that 1t must ge its figures prepared this month It wa therefore voted to have all the sub committees hand in their estimates a

 The board of finance fin Q communica- ton to the board informed that body that any deficit In the appropriation made by the increases in salary would be met when 1t became due. This is IT. line with the appeal made by com mittee to the flnanclers some time ago With this action the board adjourned satisfied that 1t had done good nights work.

FOR CITY BASEBALL Committee Representing All De- partments Prepares to
 Meet Hartford.
DATE MAY BE JULY 22
First Game In Annual Series to Be Made Event of Surpassing
 Brllliancc.

An enthusiastic meeting of about thirty men, representing the different departments of the city government, was held in city hall yesterday after noon for the working out of the pre- liminary arrangements for the annual baseball series between teams repre- senting the New Haven city officials and those of the city of Hartford. Permanent organization of the com mittee on arrangements was effected with the election of the following of flcias: Joseph Calm, of the tax office, as president, Town Clerk Frederick E. Whitaker treasurer, and Charles Tut tie secretary
 It was decided that a formal invl- tation be prepared and sent to the Hartford officials inviting them to join issue with their New Haven confreres in baseball battle. and also In gen eral outing and dinner at Savln Rock. The date selected which will probably be finally decided upon, If 1t Is found satisfactory to both parties, Is July 22. For working out the details of the day a committee of thirty will be appointed later who will report back to the general committee, which consists of about seventy members.
 It is planned to make the affair sim ply the best yet. The local men are thoroughly taken by the splendid time which was accorded them on their trip to Hartford last September, and they are determined not only to outdo their own efforts of last year. but to outshine also the reception the Hartford men gave them afterwards. They have all ready planned to erect tent on the ball grounds during the game at which lunch and general refreshments will be served to stay the spectators and play CTS until the big feed occurs late in the evening. A band will be on hand to render everything fully harmonious, | Dinner will probably be served at one of tho big shore restaurants and the | very best Ia what will be provided. Two 1 suggestions were made yesterday. but | 1t Is not certain that they will be talk on up. One Is that trolley ride from l the west to the east shore be provided. and another that n boat trip out into the hsrbor during which a clam bake will be held.
 Mayor Martin was named as chairman of the executive committee. Charles Platt and Walter Burke were named to | take charge of the baseball team which is to be the cause of it all. The next meeting of the committee will be held next Monday afternoon.

Renew Action for Separate Court.

The question of securing a separate
court district in Atkins, Pope coun-
ty, is again being agitated by citizens
in the eastern portion of the county.
An effort was made during the recent
legislature to pass a special act pro-
viding for the creation of the district,
but it failed to become a law. At a
recent meeting of the Pope County
Democratic Central Committee a re-
solution was introduced asking that
the committee devise some means by
which the question should be submit
ted to the voters of the county. There
being no special act empowering the
committee TO submit such question TO
the voters at the general election, the
idea was abandoned. 1t is now pro-
posed that thG next legislature be
asked to pass such act, providing for
a special election for the submission
of the question within 80 or 60 days
after its passage, providing the citi-
Zens of the territory affected shall
