BERGER ADMITS
 HE IS AFTER
 COMPERS' SCALP

St. Louis, Nov. 15.-Victor L.. Der ger, of Milwaukee. Congressman-elect of the Socialist-Democratic party, to- day, admits that he is after Campers '' having made the trip to St. Louis for no other purpose than to lead the in- surgent element in bringing about the overthrow of the president of the American Federation of Labor.
 Berger says that Gompers is in- clined towards Cannonism, Bryanism and Rooseveltism, and his one big ob- jection to the labor leader is that he has been in office for nearly 30 years and Berger thinks that these honors ought to fall on younger shoulders,
 Mind you,' he said, Eve must give credit to Gompers for the work he has done in organizing labor and bringing about it's present standing. But all that is done. Now, we must have a man who is in line with the present day"
 Max Hayes of Cleveland, represent ing the International Typographical Union, Berger says, is the real leader in the labor insurgency. Hayes is organizing his men now and in few days, probably on Saturday, the real strength of the Socialist faction in labor ranks, will be known.

MOVE TO KEEP KERSHAW ON
 POLICE BOARD

Petitions are going the rounds, es- pecially in church circles, to persuade Mayor Buckingham to include the name of James. H. Kershaw in his appointments of police commission CTS the first of the year.
 MT. Kershaw has the support of practically all the clergy of the city for re-appointment. His vigorous in- terest in all matters relating to the department have made him one of the most conspicuous figures in the administration of police affairs that the city has known.
 Catholic clergymen have interested themselves in his behalf, believing his indefatigable war upon lawlessness merits their support.
 Judge, of Probate Elect Edward F. Hal1en, head of the board of po- lice commissioners, will not resign as a police commissioner. His elec- tion to the office of judge of probate will give him many added reSponsi- bilities, but he will not shirk the duties attaching to his post as head of the police commission which is not a sa1aried office. His term does, not expire until Dec. 31, 1911.

TEACHERS PROTEST AGAINST BOARDS
 ARBITRARY WAYS
Salary List Has Become a Secret Document and Fa-
 vorites Figure in Salary Arrangement, , Is Charge

School teachers in general are arous- ed in this. city over information of great diversities of salary among them. which differences seem to be purely arbitrary and not based upon any gen. eral schedule such as they had sup posed existed to govern the compensa- tion of teachers.
 For several years the custom of pub- fishing an annual salary list has been suspended by the board. without ade- quate reason. Both public and teach CTS have been deprived of the right to know how the public money is ex- pended.
 The teachers who are forming an or ganization intend to probe this strange transaction to the bottom and will in sist upon a schedule that will be in accordance with the schedules and practice of other cities.
 Supt. Charles w. Deane, making an explanation last night as to why Miss Neuberger, Kindergarten teacher at Waltersville school, is receiving $50 more year than primary grade teach CTS who have been teaching for Is years, said, Miss Neuberger is con- Gucting a double kindergarten with the assistance of trial teachers from the two kindergarten schools, accomplish ing as much as any two of the other Kindergarten teachers"
 A primary grade teacher, prominent in the movement for fair play, said this morning: "Our inquiry into these matters is not directed by Jealousy but by the desire to have justice done. Dr. Deane says that Miss Neuberger is do- ing double duty. This does not mean that she is teaching twice as long as primary grade teachers, but merely that she teaches 50 pupils in the morn ing and 50 more, not the same children in the afternoon. Primary grade teachers teach 50 children in the morn ing and 50 in the afternoon, but the same children. Our work is more di- versified and more difficult, I think it is conceded, than that of a kinder garten teacher. We teach the same number of hours as Miss Neuberger. Neither do primary teachers have as- sistants to help them with their work
 Our purpose" continued the speak CT, ''is not to disparage the work of kindergarten teachers, for it is a val uable and necessary work, but to di- rect attention by contrast to the in- ferior treatment of the primary teach CTS, and to call attention to the arbi- trary and illogical methods of the Board of Education. which it seems to us is beginning more and more to treat the work of conducting the schools as a private enterprise instead of a pub lie task.
 'We hope to bring to an end the system of playing favorites in the teaching force. and to secure just sal aries and suitable conditions for the rank and file of the working force on terms which shall be public to all, and known to everybody

MATHEWSON SIGNS
 } YEARS CONTRACT
 S1O,0OO PER YEAR
Special from United Press.)

New York, Nov. 15-That the man. agement of the New York National League team evidently fears that there must be some fire where there is so much smoke, and will not, therefore, take any chance of loosing any of it's stars to an outlaw league, is manifest, today, in the announcement that Christy Mathewson. the Giants star twirler, has signed a three years con- tract. Mathewson's salary is said to be $10.000 a year, the largest ever paid to a pitcher.
 Although the talk of Promoter Fletcher, of Cincinnati, that he will start new big league during the coming year, is not taken seriously, because of lack of time for getting players and grounds, many of the big league magnates believe that sooner or later, someone is going to try breaking into their fields.

BRIDGEPORT FIGHT FANS
 SEE KID SHEA TRIMMED IN
 BOUT WITH FRANKIE BURNS

It is rather painful to admit it, but Joe Shea of Waterbury, one of the cleverest boxers at his weight in the realm of prize fighting. more than met his match last night when he stacked up against Frankie Burns of Jersey City inthe star bout on the Edgewood card in the Casino. In-fighting was the undoing of the youngster from Wa terbury for the hundred and one short jahs to the ribs and Kidneys, which Burns handed Joe from the clang of the first bell until the speedy fifteenth was ended, counted for Burns like compound interest in a savings bank. They gradually wore Joe down and two or three of the rounds, notably the ninth and tenth, the pride of the Naugatuck valley was all but in. In the ninth he staggered to his corner as the result of a perfect storm of short-arm jolts in the wind, but he was revived by towel and water enough to come up fairly strong in the next but he met with the same treatment.
 The Kid came back strong in the eleventh and twelfth but couldn't con- tinue the pace, and the last three rounds were in favor of the Jersey City terror.
 The other big bout of the evening was between Ali Lynch, the bantam champion of Canada. but now of New Haven, and Jack Doyle. and it was a good draw, although Lynch handed the New York boy some stiff ones in the last round. However, to even these up. Doyle had the better of the local blonde in several of the early rounds. but not enough to brag about.
 The preliminary was between Joe Marcks of Highwood and Jackie Rol- linson of Shelton. and the way Marcks punished the visitor was ashame. 1t was pretty slow fighting by both boys.
 A goodly sized crowd of Bridgeport fans took in the mill. Most of the To- cal fans pulled hard for Kid Shea, and were willing to admit that the Water bury lad could beat Burns standing up and boxing, but when it come to in- fighting RurpS was the Superioc.

Many Bridgeporters who are Yale graduates find themselves unable to get tickets for the Yale-Harvard foot ball game for the first time in the his tory of football.

BUNGLING REPAIR
WORK WAS FATAL
HOxsey Discovers Cause Of
JOhnStOne'S Death.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 81. - While
aviators here have been endeavoring
to find what caused Johnstone's fatal
fall last Friday and aviators else
where have been theorizing over 1t,
a Denver boy carried the secret and
has only revealed 1t. He is Earl
Woods, and was directly under John
stone a few minutes before the bird
man started on his spiral descent to
death. A piece of painted wood fell
near the boy. He picked 1t up and
decided it was from the biplane. 1t
had been split and glued. One end
bore the marks Of an iron ring which
had been held in place by Two nails.
When Hoxsey saw II he said 1t was
from Johnstone's machine, and had
been split Thursday when John
stones machine got out of order. In
repairing it the glueing was badly
done and the holes for the two nails
which held the iron ring on had been
punched or bored by something
larger than the nails. While John
stone was 800 feet up the nails work
ed out the ring slipped off and the
fragment Of wood fell, mute evidence
that bunging work In repairing the
biplane cost the life of Johnstone.
