TEACHERS ORGANIZE
 FOR SALARY INCREASE
Miss E. |. Bown Likely to be Chosen presl-
 dent of Association
Dr. Deane Hopes Plan Isn't to Raise Wages Only, But Miss S1rachan Says That
 Would be Good Plan

With meeting of the entire teach ing corps of the "A public schools of this city in the Barnum school late this afternoon permanent organization will be effected. officers will be elected and constitution adopted of the pro- posed Teachers Association Of this city. This is the organization planned for the professional advancement of the teachers, and to secure an increase of teachers salaries.
 The meeting this afternoon will very likely choose as the president of the association Miss E. L. Bown, principal of the Grand street school. The sec retary will probably be Miss Blood, who has been the acting secretary of the organization.
 pr. Deane, who has professed sym pathy with the project of the organ iZation since it took tangible form, addressed the meeting of the teachers at the Bridgeport High school assem- ply hall last evening. Principal in- terest centered last evening in the presence of Miss Grace Strachan, pres ident of the Interborough Teachers Association of New York city. who ad- dressed the Bridgeport teachers, and told them of their success in getting enacted State legislation that renedied conditions.
 More than 300 teachers, it is esti- mated. attended the meeting last night; Intense enthusiasm prevailed, and storms of applause frequently inter rupted the various speakers as they told of the success attending similar movements in other cities.
 Miss Bown opened the meeting by telling the assembled teachers that a meeting composed Of delegates from
 
 city was held at Grand street school, secretary and chairman chosen and a committee appointed to prepare for the meeting this evening.
 Dr. Deane, superintendent of Bridge port public schools, spoke in part as follows: "I am here to express my ap- proval of any organization of teachers lik,iv to better them in any way. that Is for the general bettermeztsScf the teaching body.
 There has been 9 great deal in the air about salaries as though this was to be just an organization to fight for salaries. It is against the constitu- ton of the State for an official to have raise of salary during the year. Therefore, your present appointments take effect only for the fiscal year. The Board of Education could not raise the salary question during the fiscal year. Teachers have been recognized officially as a poorly paid class. Tn Bridgeport there is a Board of Appor- tionment you may have heard Of. Few people recognize that. Some years ago, the Board of Education made a request of this body for an tn- creased appropriation. The Board of Apportionment cannot do as much as they would like"
 Miss Strachan said: "T agree with all your superintendent has said, and sal ary is only an incident, but what an incident. Without this incident. there will not be the throbbing virile inter- est we need to bring into our class rooms, the personality and help to educstion that our children need.

consequences preyed upon her mind for last Wednesday noon, in the ab- sence of the members of the house. hold, she inhaled Illuminating gas and ended her life.
 The fact which Mrs. Ungemah dis covered after the wedding. and which is believed to have caused her to leave her husband at once. was to the effect that he had been secretly married a few months before to a married wo- man whose husband subsequently, re- claimed her and took her with him to Baltimore.
 This woman'S name was Elizabeth Pepal, and Ungema met her at the home of a friend in Newark. Her husband was then working in the South, and she represented herself as unmarried. Taking a fancy to her Ungemah married her. only to be con- fronted by the rightful husband who returned shortly afterward to claim his wife.
 Right on the heels of this matrin1on- iaI adventure. Ungemah married Mrs. Dyson, and the joke" ultimately be- came a tragedy, resulting in her sui eide in Bridgeport this week.
 It was the short-lived matrimonial venture of Ungemah that caused his acquaintances to recall the case of his father. The latter died only short time ago at the home of son in Mont clair, having been removed there after spending some years in the Soldiers Home in Kearny. He had been a widower for a number of years, when he met a woman who conducted fur nished-room house at Clinton and Mulberry streets.
 For a time the old man made his home there,' and then surprised his family and friends by the announce ment of his marriage. His bride was many years his junior. After few months of welded life there came a divorce as a sequel to fight that took place in the house, when 1t was alleg- ed the old man hurled an axe at his spouse. Ungemah was obliged to take refuge in the Soldiers Home, and he died unaware of his divorced wife's wherea bouts.

1 she was not wanted by the local police ! and was at liberty to go home. She started to walk along the platforp with the prisoner, but when the crowd
 gathered. she left him and boarded a | Stratford car. Her home IS at the | residence of her father, E. H. Staults ' at King street and North avenue | Stratford.
 ! She was seen in Bridgeport late last l evening however, but she wore a veil
 to partially conceal her identity. She was kept busy for several hours re- counting to her friends here the ex- perience of her interrupted flight. The conductor followed these in- structions, but it is apparent that the old Grand Army man became confused and could not find the way to his own home. but wandered past in the dark ness. He must have travelled to the shore and then wandered along toward the west. for his body was found sev- eral hundred feet west of the foot of Union avenue, and considerably off shore, having been rolled about by the tide.
 Comrade Hull was one of the best known of the Grand Army veterans and is sincerely mourned At one time he held the position of comman- der of the local G. A. R. Post, but of late years had not been so active in it's affairs, his mind having become grad ually clouded in his old age. c
 John Robert Hull was born in Sus- sex county, New Jersey, in 1880. When young man he came to Bridgeport to work as coach lace weaver for the Bridgeport Coach Lace Company At the ouebreak of the Civil war he en- listed in the First Connecticut Light Battery. His first enlistment was for three years, and at the expiration of his term he enlisted for three years more. serving as an artif1cer.
 After the war he returned to Bridge port and was again employed in the coach lace business. He also served as a constable in the district known as West Stratford where he resided. At the time when this section was an- nexed to Bridgeport. the constables were dropped. In his old age, MT. HulPs mind reverted to his former years and he imagined himself still constable and would frequently re- port at police headquarter .'for duty"
 In his youth MT. Hull was affiliated with German singing society in New Jersey, and learned to speak the Ger man language f1uently He taught German during his residence in Bridge port, having number of private pu- pills at various times. He possessed an excellent tenor voice and was once tenor soloiSt in the choir of the First Methodist church.
 MT. Hull was married three times. and is survived by his third wife. and the following children: Joseph Hull, of Boston; William, of this city, an en- gineer for the United Illuminating Company; two married daughters re- siding in Illinois; and two married daughters living in this city. Mrs. Au- gusta Willenta and Mrs. John Gould ing.
 Since his disappearance on Nov :, up to the time of the finding of his body today a vigorous search was prosecuted by his relatives and friends. the searchers including a number of members of Elias Howe, Jr., Post. G. A. R., particularly the commander, Elbert -Ruggles, who devoted many days iR self-sacrificing efforts toward finding the body of his old comrade

 The news that the break had come, and that its compromise proposals had been rejected, was given to tie House of Lords, by Lord Crewe, lead CT of the Liberals, in the upper chamber. As he made his statement, there came a hush over the assemp- lage. All of the hereditary mem- bers realized fully that the announce ment meant the end of their activity in public life in the empire.
