Ask Salary Raise
Ansonia Teachers Surprise the School Board by Demand
 For Better Pay ;,

Ansonia, May 16-To further their demands in securing increases in sal aries for the coming year 40 of the teachers of the public schools attend ed a mass meeting in the High school building last night. It was rumored about the city yesterday that the teachers would make an appearance before the educational board at it's meeting, last night, but few believed it.
 Surprise was manifest among the members of the Board of Education when the 40 school teachers appeared and acting for them a committee of their number petitioned for more pay. All of the teachers in all of the school buildings desire the increase in the wages, the average increase asked for being S100 a year. With the princi- pals and other instructors, | it is esti- mated that the increase, if given all around, will approximate $6,000 a year. While the matter was being discussed by the Board of Education in Supt. Buckley's office, where the meeting was held, the teachers took possession of the High school room.
 The demand Of the teachers was discussed at length by the board, all of the members being present. Just what will be done regarding the mat ter cannot be told as yet It is prob able, however, that increases will be handed out, although it is not likely that the increases asked for will be granted, as the money allotted to the department will not allow it, at least this year.

Sues For $3O,O0O
New Haven Road Defendant in
 Action For Injuries at Rye, N. Y./

New Haven, May 16-An interesting case was taken up in the Superior court before Judge Holcomb and a jury today, when the matter of the $30000 suit of Charles H. Ludington of Branford vs. the New Haven Rail- road was put on trial. The hearing in the cause is likely to last through the rest of the week.
 The suit is brought by H. w. Aver i'll as conservator over Ludington, for injuries received at Rye, N. Y., in July 1909. Ludington was employed by the New Haven road and on the date above indicated he fell from g. catenary tower, shocked from his work, receiving injuries. which finally resulted in destroying his mental fac ulties as claimed. He has an aged mother living in Branford, who, it is said does not yet know of his in- juries although he has been an in mate of Connecticut Hospital for the Insane at Middletown ever since the accident.
 1t will be claimed that Ludington is hopelessly insane in consequence of his injuries and that the road should consequently reimburse his mother.
 Talcott H. Russell and Judge liar ry W. Doolittle are counsel for the oonservator in this case. The defense is being made by Watrous & Day.

WlDENlNING OF FAIRFIELD
 AVENUE IS CONSIDERED
Advocates For and Against Heard at Public Hearing
 10 Foot Centers Opposed

Property owners iE Fairfield avenue appeared before the Common Council last evening in the matter of the vfd- ening of that sthoroughfars from CourtIand street to Park avenue. and the laying of ten foot centers by the from Main street to Park avenue. Those in favor and those opposed broke even in the widening scrap, while both sides opposed 10 foot csn- ters.
 For the establishing of building line in the same street, the affirma- tive and opposition were again found together. The Streets and Sidewalks committee will consider all the propo- sitions.
 Former Fire Commissioner George E. Crawford championed the widen ing of the street. He stated that eventually Fairfield avenue would have to be widened, and that 1t should be SC widened before the laying of showed that Fairfield avenue was soon destined not only to handle most of the local traffic. but al the through traffic. NoW was the time for the widening as no permanent construc- tions would be effected.
 William F. Kirk speaking for the widening of the street, stated that Bridgeport has been cursed in the past by holding up it's streets widening too long a time. Fairfield avenue. he stated, could be widened now at 9 minimum of expenses
 Charles J. Byrne, for 90 years res- ident of Fairfield avenue, favored the widening. Mr. Byrne stated that 20 years ago when asphalt was first laid in the street he advocated the widen ing of the roadway six feet. It was then widened but two feet. He saw then that Fairfield avenue was des- tined to be the main artery of travel, both east and west. MT. Byrne paint ed a word picture of Bridgeport in the future He saw Fairfield avenue magnificent thoroughfare, with Black Rock harbor the docking place of the city, and with both Fair1feld and Stratford annexed to the city.
 Henry Beutelspacher also spoke in favor of the widening. MT. Crawford stated that he appeared for Police Sergeant Philip Blansfield, who favor ed widening
 Bernard Setzer held that the widen ing proposition was foolish, as there was no congestion and never would be between Courtland street and Fair field avenue. MT. Setzer, however, would favor the widening of the street if that stretch from Courtland 10 Wa ter street was included.
 pr. D. c. DeWolfe. Dr. E. H. Wool, Julia A. Holcomb, w. H. Foote, H. If. Nettleton, and others also opposed. Some of those opposed saw in the proposition only a chance for the Con- necticut Co. to lay 10 foot centers.
 For the establishment of 8 building line in the street, both factions were found on the same side of the fence. Bernard Setzer wanted it known that he was in favor of the establishment of a building line in every street m the citv Sidewalks would be pro- tected and builders could not encroach over and lessen the. valuation of the land of adjoining property owners.

TUITION FREE
 FOR FIFTEEN
Yale Adopts Scholarship Plan For Freshman Year For High
 School Boys

There were two announcements of unusual interest made at the conclu- sion of the May session of the Yale corporation yesterday afternoon when the adoption by unanimous vote by the corporation of system of Con- necticut scholarships was made known for the first time, and g. sur prise was sprung in the statem lent that Prof. Theodore Salisbury Wool sey for 33 years professor of inter national law at the law school. had resigned on account of ill health and that his resignation had been accept ed. All the members of the corpora ton were present at the meeting with the exception of President Taft and Governor Baldwin.
 The scholarship system as adopted applies only to the freshman year in the academic and scientific depart ments. There are to be fifteen of these scholarships and these are to be divided among boys from the high schools of the state as follows:
 One for each county, two for New Haven, one for each of the other four largest cities of the state, Bridgeport, Hartford Waterbury and New Brit ain; also one for the state at large.
 The scholarship includes in each case full tuition including university fee for the first year in the college or the scientific school.
 The scholars shall be selected by a board consisting of the professor of education, the dean of the college, the director of the Sheffield scientific school and the secretary of the bu- reau of appointments. The scholars to be selected from those who have passed entrance examinations for ad- mission, emphasis being laid on quail ity of work done, strength of charac- ter and promise. Special considera- tion shall be given to recomme enda- tions from high school principals and from the presidents of the local Yale Alumni associations. Not over two thirds of the scholarships in any one year shall be given to students in one department of the university. The committee shall have the right to withhold any scholarship in a year when the competition is not up to the necessary standard.
 The plan was adopted at the sug- gestion of the university council and has received the hearty endorsement of Governor Baldwin and of each member of the state board of educa- ton. It is believed that it will result in bringing to the university a group of promising young men who might not otherwise have the advantage of 8 college education. and that it will enable the university to be of direct service to the high schools of the state.
