SCHOOL SUPERVISOR
Probable for Combined Brooklyn and
killingIy Districts.

The appointment of a specially pre-
pared. highly competent man as super
visor of schools for the towns of Kill
ingIy and Brooklyn, at cost to each
that may be regarded a merely NOM
inal seems assured. following the act
ion OF the voters OF the town of Brook
lyn in recording themselves as favor
able to the proposed plan of forming
supervision school district with Kill
ingly. Clark NJ. Lawton and Rev.
George f. Genung, d. D., have been
named as a special committee OF the
Brooklyn school board to confer with
special committee of Killingly's
school board relative to the matter,
and there is every indication that the
district will be formed.
Briefly the agreement that the towns
will enter into is that they will unite
in a supervision district, which agree
ment cannot be terminated for three
years. this district to be under the SUI
perVision of a man selected for his ex-
ceptional fitness to do the work that IS
to be required of hi1n-that of giving
his entire attention and working time
to close observance and systematizing
of the efforts of teachers and students.
Half of the supervisors salary is to
be paid by the state the other half by
the two towns in proportion 10 De
agreed upon. This supervisor. while he
may be one approved by the state board

school committee of the two towns,
they reservng all of their present ex-
ecutive prerogatives and retaining the
privilege Of removing or repaclng him
at any time The cost to the town Of
Killingly will be only slightly more
than has been the case with an acting
school visitor.
The advantages of the plan are many,
principally in thot it will give Brook
lyn and Killingly a unified system OF
supervising their schools. which are in
close relation to each other, and secure
for them the services Of an expert,
deemed essential to securing the best
results by the most progressive towns
of Connecticut. A thorough investiga-
ton of the proposition has made 1t APP

| to enter into.
| A meeting of the special joint COM
mittee of both school boards will be
! called in a few days. The candidates
| for the appointment as supervisor will
| be considered and Investigated, and
| later a report filed for all the members
| of both town boards to pass upon at a

Riones and the Trusts.

Bjonas used to talk about the trusts
From morning until night
He said they robbed the people and
1t simply wasn't right
He pointed to the dividends +"
The great trust magnates drew
And showed how all the multitude
Were MIXED just for the few.
But now Bj0nes doesn't say word
About the awful trusts.
His sword within its scabbard rests
And figuratiyely ruSts.
He never lifts his tuneful voice
And helps the others knock,
And I have rather come to think
That Biones has got some stock

THE LORIMER INVESTIGATION
One Illinois Legislator Was Eager te Sell His Vote for $500,
 Said White.

Chicago, Sept. 2S.-Basing his ruling on tho decision of the senate investi- gating committee in the case of Sen ator George E. Spencer in Alabama, in 1876, Chairman Burrows barred hearsay evidence from the Lorimer hearing.
 The admissib.lity of conversations with other legislators who, Represen- tatiye White says, told him they were bribed to vote for Senator Lorimer was one of the contested points of the hearing. The testimony was excluded for the time being, after White had declared Representative Joseph Clar' had told him that he was bribed to vote for Senator Lorimer. White said:
 Clark told me that Michael Link said he would have voted for Lorimer for $500 and he, Clark, kept after him and made him hold out for $1,O00 which they both received
