Under the modfdcation Of the con- tract which was made by Durkin G Lass to MT. Murphy 1t was understood by the High School cornmittee that could be made against the sums due the Durkin & Lass Go. Some wise lawyer discovered that such attach ment could be made and on the last ss.00O payment which MT. Murphy was to draw he found q $1, 500 attach nent lodged in favor of one Of the sub-contractors.
 City Attorney ConIey, after going over the modification of the High school contract assured the members of the board bhat the modification was. in his Judgment, so loosely drawn that if the city made the payments in full to Mr. Murphy afterward the sub-contractors might recover on any judgments they obtained against the judgments were involved in the pay ments made to the Durkin S Lass Leo.
 President Ravens of the board of education said today that he had not decided what course to pursue.
 We have not been oniciaIly notified
 Of the situation there he said. Don't t you know, MT.

 have a meeting today to consider the matter. When this is before us l

FANNY CROSBY'S SISTER MAY YET
 BEGIN CON TEST
contInued from Page one

Continued from Page One due her. but she wants to carry out the plans of Aunt Fanny She can not do this now, because she is under a trusteeship and consequently has no authority to provide for the bene- factions planned by Fanny Crosby.
 When Mrs. Caroline Rider sister of Fanny Crosby died, she left Mrs, Arlington the income from 8 trust fund. Mrs. Booth is trustee and Mrs. 4 Arlington is barred from the use of the money
 According to the plans being dis scussed, if the will is successfully con tested and set aside, Mrs. Arlington will be the sole heir under the law. She will then have the books, paint ings and other property Of Miss Cros- by, besides her money from royalties on books, and will be free to devote them to the purposes of which Fanny Crosby talked.
 Mrs. sAthingto says she can prove that Mrs. Booth is not niece. of Miss Crosby
 The delay in the proposed contest of the will is caused by the unwilling ness of Mrs. Arlington to o1anythins that might reflect on Fanny Crosby 1 whose memory she loves This is the only thing that dissuades her from immediate action Indications are however that contest will be made

 The action is brought by Dominick Connors of Danbury, against Patrick ConnoIley and Emil Ness of Dan bury. Connolley was secretary of Local No. 10 and Ness treasurer at the time the alleged conspiracy took place.
 Connors said he was employed by HIaWes-von Gal, Inc. in September, 1909. His job was making and sig fendants visited his employers and told them to discharge the plaintiff. If this was not done, the defendants threatened to withdraw all the union men. Connors claims. Thereupon Connors was discharged and he says the defendants conspired to have him discharged.
 This suit was tried three years ago in Danbury when the jury found in favor of the union officials. It was appealed to the supreme court where ferror was found and a new trial or dered- Lawyers for Connors claim ed that because of the partisan feel- I Ing in Danbury 1t was impossible for his client to get a fair trial there.
