SUGGESTS BALLOT
 TO DECIDE WHO'S
 TO BE THE DEPUTY

In an effort to agree upon a cand1- date for deputy sheriff who. will be satisfactory to the Italian speaking voters, former Deputy Louis E.<Rich- ards has suggested that the voters be given a chance to indicate their pref erence. The only men left in the race are Dan Della and Frank Ffasenello. Both have numerous supporters aI- though FasenolIo claim to have a larger following than Della.
 Richards thinks that in the interest of harmony it would be a good plan to have the Italian speaking citizens of the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth dis tricts meet and vote for their favorite candidate. Then the voters in the Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh could hold a meeting. Most of the Italian voters are in these districts. The idea of get ting petitions doesn't meet with much favor because the leaders say the man who sees a, voter first will get his sig nature.
 Friends of Deputy Sheriff Abriola think he should be retained in office by sSherif- elect Pease. The latter will make his appointment in a few days but hasn't indicated yet who the lucky man will be.

\ The immense building operations of the Bridgeport Arms plant were in terrupted this morning when 300 br1cklayers walked out on the Stew art Construction company because three of their demands would not be met.
 The great activity that has result ed in buildings going up over night. dwellings disappearing in a twinkhng, and putting arms experts to work as fast as they could be given space in which to work, is Virtually interrupted today because the bricklayers were unanimous in their demands. $ Three things were asked by the workmen. They wanted TO cents an hour, instead of 60 cents. which they receive now; they don't want to work only seven hours and half day; and they want the double check sys- tenn of paying them their salaries on Saturdays abolished.
 These demands have been made tor several weeks and they came to a head when the men were perturbed by an order not to start work until 8:3O. The entire working force walked out. leaving buildings in an uncompleted condition.

 AROUSED
Stormy Meeting of Board of Education Likely Tonight When Lawyers Will Be On Hand to Fight Refusal of Salary Advances.
Weeping Even Unto Fly steria in Public Schools Today When Records of Board Disclose Those Who Are Affected.

Humiliation, indignation and weep ing, even to the point of hysteria, were emotions paramount in the schools of Bridgeport today because the names have become known of the teachers who are to suffer by the en- forcement of the so-called merit sys- tenn in the public schools. and there fore are to lose their scheduled raise of $50.
 At least three lawyers were retain ed yesterday by individual teachers to fight their cases on the ground that they were treated unfairly.
 The meeting of the board of edu- cation promises to be stormy in the extreme.
 One city official, it is known, will appear before the board this even ing to demand to know why his daughter shall not receive her in crease in salary. Several attorneys are expected to be present, and a del egation of teachers will ask to be ad- mitted

 In one West End school, a girl who had been affected by the merit system, and who is adjudged one of the best teachers in the schools, fail ed to appear to teach this morning. Her principal attempted to teach her pupils but she broke down in a flood of weeping, because she thought she might be credited with the act of 'tdunking'' one of her best instructors.
 A storm of indignation arose in the schools this morning. It is asserted that many of the losses of increases may be traced to disagreements be- tween supervisors and teachers.
 How can they mark us," cry the teachers" when some of them don't visit room once a year? How do they know what kind of teachers we are?''
 Almost angered because they a1lege the thing would be ridiculous if it were not so pathetic, teachers have agreed to post a paper on the boards in their rooms, upon which will be kept a record of the visits of the su- pervisor and the work done on the oc- casion of the visit.
 Several of the brightest teachers in the schools were included in the list of those who lost, according to those who will protest.

General opinion among some of the cooler-headed bricklayers and by per sons connected with the construction plant is that the matter will be set tied either tomorrow or within a few days. If the men don't return to work as expected, it is said others will take their places.
 According to men familiar with union matters, the advance from so cents to 70 cents is contrary to union rules, and this will be a basis for amicable adjustment
 The double check system, it is as- serted. causes the men to lose an hour or two waiting in line for their pay after the whistle blows at Saturday moons. They want the system abol- ished as has been done by most con struction companies. They assert most companies pay before noon, so that the men will not lose much time.
 The men don't like to be cut down to seven hours and a half work. they say also. This was proposed this morning and they rebel1ed.
 It is reported that the union will not sanction the demand of the men for the salary advance.

 on Values of Lace

Miss Margaret Kelly, one of the proprietors of the Smart Shop in Col den Hill street, was a witness in the criminal superior court this morning in the cases of Antonio and Guiseppa Lamatano, charged with attempting to defraud insurance companies Miss Kelly was called by the defense to testify regarding the value of lace on counterpanes belonging to the accus- ed. She said the lace was worth $3 a yard.

It is alleged by the state that there were three insurance policies on the goods at the time of the fire last February. The trial had not been finished at press hour.
