SCHOOL TEACHERS UNION REGARDED

 citation Rot Looked Upon With klndIy Eye

The organization of the school teachers for the purpose of raising wages and otherwise improving their condition is greeted, with mixed feel ings, according to the bias of the citi- zen who considers the matters. but unquestionably the general feeling is that the organization is good thing and that it will benefit both the city and the teachers.
 The general principle that bodies of individuals employed in a wage earning capacity can be most sat1s- factorily represented in their deai- fngs with an employer through an or ganization has been admitted for many years, and as members of the Board of Education believe fully ap- plies in this case.
 The teachers will now be in a posi- ton to state, through a committee representing them all, exactly what they want from the city and the rep resentatives of the city, the Board ot Education
 The teachers are congratulating themselves because their organization was formed with so little friction, al cause. an officer of high rank in the school system endeavored by CO., operation with some of the more highly paid principals to seize the as- sociation for the purpose of forming its executive branch of persons not believed to be in thorough sympathy with the rank and file of the teach CTS and their purposes.
 Fortunately the teachers were not to be swayed from their purposes, and in e1ecting Miss Bown to head the association, and in their choice of other officers, they; did what they desired to do, it is understood, rather than what those unsympathetically disposed toward them desired done.
 The work of enlisting such teach CTS as have not signed the constitu- ton will now go actively forward. and every teacher will be given full op- portunity to avail herself of the pro- lection and benefits of the association.
 It is now pretty we'll understood that a majority of the members. cf

ROBERT HUNTER IS APPRECIAT|vE OF
 LOCAL SYMPATHY
Socialist Candidate For Govern or Doing Exceptionally Well
 After Operation
Especial to The Farmer.)

Stamford, Nov. 21.-Robert Hunt CT, noted author and Socialist candi- date for governor who succeeded in rolling up over 12,000 Socialist votes in Connecticut during the last cam paign, is resting comfortably at his home at OK Ridge, a suburb of this city, following a surgical operation performed upon him by Dr. Harry Lyle of New York.
 The operation a painful but not dangerous one, will necessitate MT. Hunters remaining in bed for about Is days, and it will take him a week longer to get on his feet. Mrs. Hunt CT today reported her husband as feeling exceptionally we'll, and bright and cheerful.
 Mrs. Hunter stated that she and her husband were both greatly touch cd by the sympathy shown by Bridge porters for MT. Hunter at the present <ime. Her husband may visit some of his friends in Bridgeport later in the winter, although he is refusing all speaking dates. He finished the recent arduous campaign in good health, but will not take any chances of over-tiring himself during his con- yalescence.

SUITS STOP CONCk
 STREET WIDENI,
 MAY SOON

In view of the succession of ap- peals that are being taken against the assessment for benefits, levied by the Board of Appraisal in connection with the proposed widening of Con- gress street, the consensus of opin- ion of those familiar with the mat ter is that Mayor Buckingham, in his message to the Common Council up- on the widening took the correct stand against the proposed widening and that the incoming council will rescind the order to widen the street F feet on the north side. and kill the pro- ject for good.
 Mayor Buckingham suggested that the curb on both sides of the street be set back at least two feet He vetoed the proposition to spend s75,- 900 to widen the street, but the veto was voted down.
 As some of the appeals which have been taken attack the legality of the proceedings the widening project will necessarily have to be held in abey- ance even though Mayor Buckingham should sign the order passed by the last common council directing proper ty owners to move their property

the Board of Education are in sym- -'athy with the association, and thac no teacher need fear punishment or lack of appreciation for her work by reason of her connection with the association.
 Not only do a majority of the
 members of the Board prefer the teachers to have an association" said ] member of the board this morning, but a majority would look with dis favor upon any attempt whatever by my person employed by the board, to impede, cripple or interfere with the association in any way to make ;t mfsrepresentative of the rank and file of the teaching force.
 The board knows that differences If opinion have arisen from time to time between the rank and file and certain of the higher salaried per sons under the board relative to wage justice SO called.
 Sometimes when the teachers have asked more pay more pay has been granted, but almost entirely to those who already received the high est salaries.
 ''This did not happen because of any desire upon the part of members of the board to play at favoritism, but undoubtedly because of the su- perior advantages that this group of employees had in directing the atten- ton of the board to their needs.
 ''The association now formed by the teachers will give the rank and file of the teaching body equal op- portunity to be heard and to lay be- fore the board the arguments for and against any course of action that may be in debate in which their welfare is involved.
 ''As to wage justice, it is undoubt- edly true that wages are too low. Wages will have to be increased or the city will lose its best teachers to other cities where higher salaries are paid
 ''It is most short sighted for the city to educate teachers by maintain ing a city normal school, and then permit the graduates of this school to leave for other cities merely be- cause they are not adequately paid in Bridgeport"

MIR. HAWLEY RECOVERING

Alexander Hawley. treasurer of the Bridgeport Savings Bank, is today resting comfortably at the home of his son, pr. c. W. Hawley in Park ave- nue. His illness has passed the crit to see him on his feet again.
 Members of the family state that the Farmer was in error in saying Saturday that his illness was brought about by coal gas. A water leak in the furnace extinguished the fire in Samuel Hawley's home at PA Brook lawn avenue, and necessitated the pa tient's removal to the home of his son, Dr. Hawley in Park avenue.

Miss Powell, still bearing the marks of the brutal beating she received when the man struck her with black jack and throttled her. came to police headquarters yesterday, and identified the prisoner as the man who had stood at the corner. She was struck down from the rear and never had an oppor- tunity to see the face of her assailant after the blow was struck, until she came to herself in a hysterical condi- tion. But the police found bits of a string of beads that was about her neck, lying in the open lot 40 feet from the sidewalk
 Freda Kundert who was attacked Sunday night, Oct. 30, was returning home from Wood avenue when she lost her way. She inquired of two women the direction home. when a young man with light overcoat and tan shoes volunteered to show her the way, and accompanied her to near the home where she is employed, then ened him away. She came to police headquarters yesterday and though she would not identify him positively declared he looked like the man.
 The Nelson girl told the police she was convinced the young man who at tackled her was of Swedish birth or parentage. She is a Swedish girl.

 Hazel Lampman who visited head quarters yesterday. declared positively that she recalled Rockman's features. She said she had seen him shortly aft CT the assault six years ago and that man street. Search was made at the time, but Rockman was not appre- hended.
 Following Rockman's arraignment in court today his wife, waiting for his return to cell, was given the privil- ege of converSing with him. She brought him several magazines and nutratfve, but not at all palatable fare of hard tack, allowed at headquarters. Rockman was taken to the jail be- fore noon, manacled securely to other prisoners. He has not yet been brought before the little girl he att tackled. Owing to her highly wrought condition it has not been thought ad- visable to bring the man before her.
 Mrs. Rockman declared she would stand by her husband no matter what happened.
 T love him. He's my husband, ,' said she. Come what may, I'll stand by him.
 She tried to cheer up her husband as he wept in his cell But he could
 
 take courage, that after he was out of his trouble they would go far away from Bridgeport and begin life all over again. She kept up courage much better than he
 Mrs. Ida Rockman, the widow of Dr. Leonard Rockman, has boarding house at PA Colorado avenue. She was prostrated at the news of her sons plight and was under the care of a physician today.
 Rockman lived until recently at PIP Maplewood avenue. He is familiar with the West End where he has liv- ed for several years. and that fact strengthens the belief of the police that he is the man to whom all the attempts of this sort recently commit ted in the West End are to be attrib- uted.
 Rockman is 24 years old, five feet and three-fourths inches tall, weighs 140 pounds, has light hair, smooth face, regular features, hazel eyes, regular teeth and has a rather angular appearance.

FOUR TRIBUNALS

Because of the great number of cases in the Superior court, civil side because of the lay off around election time there will be two sessions of that court, one presided oyer by Judge William H. Williams and the other by Judge Lu- cien F. Burpee.
 The Common Pleas court, civil side, with Judge Howard B. Scott and jury will again come in, while there are jury in the criminal side of the same court before Judge James F. Walsh. It is expected that the court will make decision in the matter of the reopen ing of the case of John Modem, who forfeited his bond of s200 in the June term of the court for violation of the Sunday liquor law.
 In the special session of the Super for court, Judge Burpee will hear the case of the Grievance Committee of the Fairfield Bar against Attorney G. H. Ennis of this city. The commit tee have preferred charges against Ennis because of his alleged actions
 conducting the case of Nellie Shus- ter against the Warner Bros. CO. The Sinister girl was injured at that plant engaging Ennis to bring suit against the company. He settled the suit out of court collecting $500, half of which he retained for himself. The Commit tee found that his fees were unjust and unfair. The same court will hear the appeal of the same lawyer from the Probate Court. Ennis had himself appointed guardian of the Shuster girl The Probate court refused to
 allow his claim of $250 for fees.
 Since the evidence was heard by the Grievance committee the Sinister girl has stepped out and is now known as Kowalski. His name is Frank. There is also a little Kowalski.
