The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-07-09

The Board of Education received a communication from Miss Bessie G.. Hawes, principal at the Training School, suggesting that her salary be increased by $1OO Or to $1,8O0 per year In her suggestion, Miss Hawes added that unless there was an increase she would refuse to return at the old sal ary. The Committee on Schools rec commended the increase to the Board of Education last eVening and the board accepted the recommendation
 The added $100 was not allowed without a discussion by some of the commissioners. Commissioner Bell wanted to know if Miss Hawes was indispensable. Another commissioner asked Supt. Deane if it would not be better to place a man in that position. Dr& Deane thought that it would, but added that it would be almost impoS- sible to secure man for that kind of work at that salary. The superin- tendent said he would favor a man if. he could be obtained at that salary. He regarded Miss HaWes as Ian effi- cient instructres.
 A; H. Barrows was appointed in- structor in manual training to suc- ceed MT. Stanley, who has resigned to accept like position in Waterbury. Mfr. Stanley received s1,100 at which figure MT. Barrows will start. Mir. Stanley is to receive $1, 400 in Water bury. The new instructor has been pattern maker at the Crane Valve Go. and has also been with the Trade School.
 The salaries of Miss Euphrosyne Bown and Miss Mary OToole were. increased by $25 to $1, ,225. Both are supervising principals and according to schedule should receive that figure.
 In the future those teachers who start, in at $500 in a low grade and are appointed to higher grade shall reach the maximum for that higher grade in five years. For example, a teacher starting in the second grade receives $500 In five years at an in crease of $50 per year she shall reach the maximum for that grade, $750. Before the five years are completed she is appointed to a 9th grade posi- tion, where the maximum is $500. Un- der the conditions at starting it will be six years before the maximum is reached Under the new ruling she can make the maximum in five years. At the present time only about five

UPRoAR IN COURT


 The pronouncement of sentence was received with uproarious, protests from the condemned men. One of them shouted, We are innocent. This is legal assassination Some of them shook their fists at the judge and oth CTS tore at the bars of the cage. They attempted in concert to harangue those assembled in the court. Tn ad- dition to the police and carabineers within the building, a battalion of troops with fixed bayonets were drawn up outside It was feared some att tempt might be made to rescue the prisoners.
 Di Marinas is in a serious condition. There is a gash four inches long and half an inch deep in his throat. The glass, with which he attempted sui eide, severed an artery, which was tied, but Di Marinas the moment he was left alone, tore off the bandages and re-opened- the wound. Surgeons again dressed his injuries, but the wounded man declared he was deter mined to die
 The verdict as whole proved some what of a surprise and all are agreed that the severity of the sentences is the last blow to the Carnorra. which has practically been afnihilated since the arrest Of it's leaders.

PErRosYNo MURDERED

The leader of the Camorra, Enrico Alfano, known as Erricone, was ar rested in Brooklyn, and was taken on board steamer to Europe by Lieu tenant Joseph Petrosino, a detective of @the New York police department, and was handed over to the Italian police at Havre, France. Lieutenant Petrosino was afterward assassinated at Palermo and the crime was laid on the shoulders of the Camorrists.
 The Italian prosecuting authorities found it difficult to obtain evidence but one of ythe Camorrists; Gennaro Ahbatemaggio,s turned informer and his evidence finally led to the conyic- tion of the prisoners.
 Over 700 witnesses were heard dur ing the trial but not much was learn ed from their evidence. The members of the Camorra accused the Carabf- neers of fabricating the evidence in order to fasten. the crime upon the members of the Camorra.
 Some remarkable. scenes have been witnessed during the trial. The pris- oners were confined in an iron cage in the court and among them was a priest. Giro Vftozzzi, in his clerical garments. Among the forty=two pris- oners originally brought to trial there was one woman, Maria St. Endardo. Throughout the trial the accuser gen crafty exhibited a, defiant demeanor. Some of them ragged while on occa- eions they hurled storms of invective at the judge Abbatemaggio, the in- former was placed in a cage by him. self in the court strongly guarded by the police. Altogether the trial: stir red Italy in a remarkable way and caused a sensation. throughout the world

 A moving up from a low grade to higher grade does not necessarily in fer that a teacher has shown marked ability The higher grades have higher maximum and it is to these grades that teachers who need the money ask to be appointed. The work of course is necessarily more severe.

sTrRRED THE WORLD

The. verdict in the Camorra trial is the culmination of a trial which has at times stirred the world by the di- vulgatfon of the ramifications of the criminal association known in Italy as the Camorra. During the trial and the preliminary investigation which alone lasted nearly five years. nuiD- ber of the leading prisoners died. $ The direct accusation which brought to light the operations of the Camor- ra was the murder of Gennaro Cuo- colo, one of it's members, at Tore del Greco, and his wife, Mara Cuti- celli Cuocolo. Their deaths were sup posed to be executions ordered by the Camorra
