o'coNNeLL ANSWERS HIS CRITICS

County Treasurer william l.. O'Con-
nell, whose public record Is clean and
upright, has utterly COMPOUNDED the
critics who have been throwing mud
at him. The Bureau Of Public EN-.
cheney, a self-appointed commission
composed principally Of Republicans,
asked him to answer eight pertinent
questions" He answered them SO
promptly and in such a straightfor-
ward manner as to make his interro'
gators look ridiculous in the eyes OF
the people. Each of these questions
Is printed below, with Mr.. O'Connell's
answer attached.
Question why did Treasurer
O'Connell refuse to pay over to the
county the $162,212 rendered as inter.
est In 1912 unless the county would
waive its claim to any additional in
terest received by him?
Answer because IL Is a serious
question in law as to whether the
county has any legal right to the in
terest. A suit is even now pending
on the ground that 1t does not belong

always In debt. II Is borrowing all
the time. II has no money of its own
on which to earn interest. Much of
the money in the Treasurer's Office is
the property of the Drainage Board
and that interest does not belong to
the county. In the past the County
Board has always passed a resolution
exempting the County Treasurer from
liability that might come to him
should the different departments hav'
ing deposits in the county treasury
sue for their interest, which they
might do II IL were turned over to the
general county fund.
Question why does he keep nc

statute that ] have overlooked. Then

CONNECTICUT TEACHERS
 GREATLY DISAPPOINTED
Felt Confident That Pension System
 Would Be Adopted.

Hartford, Conn, June 9.-Principal Charles L. Ames of the Brown school, this city. one of the foremost edu- cators of the state, said this afternoon, that the veto of the teachers pension bill by Governor Baldwin is a great disappointment to the teachers of the state, who did not expect veto. After three years campaign in the work they felt sure that the pension system for teachers would be adopted. Said MT. Ames: "The state board of edu cation did not favor the teachers pen sion bill. introduced by the Connecticut State Teachers association ana we think that this fact had considerable influence with Governor Baldwin.
 We know that certain members of the state board of education favored sort of contributory insurance pen sion system
 T cannot understand why the com mittee on appropriations asked for $80, ,000 for two years, when the teach CTS committee, after thorough investi gation, found that $90,0 would be more than sufficient for two years. This helped to secure the defeat of the bill.
 We do not question the honest mo tives of the governor. but we feel that the state does not place very high value upon the teachers work. in that it pays such low salaries and refuses to do for pensioning teachers what other states are doing, and therefore, we feel that the state has made a big mistake in not coming to the support of the teachers"
