Pay Teachers a Pension.

Representative Madden of Illinois. a
member of the republican steering
committee. said:
Nearly every state in the Union. at
least nearly all the states in the north,
pay their school teachers a pension
My own state pays SIG per month on
the basis of twenty-five years service.
All of the teachers in the state con-
tribute to the fund from which the
pension is paid. But aside from the
contributions which the teachers make,
the state itself. on the basis of twen-
ty-hye years service. pays SIG a
month.
This bill proposes that the teachers
shall contribute not to exceed per
cent of their salary on the basis of
S1,500- 1t proposes that the govern
ment shall pay on the basis of $40
a month for forty years service and
less for a less number of years serv-
ice. The annuity which the teacher
buys by the assessment levied against
the teachers pay will amount to $500
a year on the basis of forty years
service. and the maximum compensa-
ton that can be drawn Under this bill
for forty years service is $1,000 So
that commits the government to the
payment of not to exceed $500 to any
teacher who has given forty years of
her life to the service of the public

Amendments Voted Down.

Various proposed amendments were
voted down in the committee OF the
whole yesterday.
Some of the leaders in the House
spoke emphatically in favor of the
bill and the intention to make it a
model for the entire country. Among
those was Representative Fess, chair
man of the committee on education,
who said:
81 think the schools of the District
are being placed on a basis that
ought to operate very largely as
model system for the. whole country,
and for that, as an additional reason,
am extremely anxious that what
ever legislation on this particular
issue is written shall be model leg
islation. that it may be copied. if nee
essary, by other sections and the
States perhaps.
Il am not favorable to the idea of
pensions inherently. :, / would pay
better salaries to avoid the needs of
a pension-but, my friends. you will
not do it, and there is no use to talk
about it.
when you arrange for a fund to
retire upon which is largely sup
ported by the teachers themselves. as
in this proposed measure, it cuts out
the objections that might be had to-
ward the pension system, and for
that reason think this bill Is written
on the right plan and will become a
model throughout the country for
public school teachers. retirement

RESULT oFs INVESTIGATION
 OF "RAlNBoW SUGARn

Hartford Conn, Dec. 1s.-Dairy and Pure Food Commissioner Thomas Holt issued the following statement today as the result of his investigaz tion Of rainbow sugar.
 Numerous inquiries have come to this office regarding a sugar product known as Rainbow sugar The pop ular suspicion appears to be that the product is dangerous or unwholesome due to poisonous dyes. Arsenic also has been suspected. .s
 Samples thus far examined in the laboratory of the state chemist have been found to contain only dyes known to be harmless There is no evidence that the sugar has been col ored to conceal inferiority and sam pies contained no arsenic,
 "The explanation of the appearance of this product in the market is, ac- cording to Information which we be- lieve to be reliable, that the sugar shortage; has created an opportunity to divert to the general trade a con siderable quantity Of tinted sugar or dinarilY used only in confections."

Boston, Dec. 15s-The doors of the Old South Trust Company, a banking and savings institution with about s4, 100000 in deposits, were closed today, causing inconvenience to a small army of persons who had scrimped for a year to have their savings together at Christmas time. State Bank Com missioner Augustus L. Thorndike said that the company would be able event ually to pay depositors in full, with a substantial amount left for stock holders. He added that, everything possible would be done to make the Christmas money available to it's own CTS.
 It was estimated that there were about 5000 members of the Christ mas savings club, many of them sten- ographers and other employees in the downtown office buildings with ag- gregate savings of approximately $400, 900. Some of these had already received their money, the checks hav- ing been sent out a day or two ago, but most of the club members were said to have held their checks over for use in last minute gift pur- chases.
 The bank was closed by Commits sioner Thorndike at the request of it's president, John R. McVey. In state ment MT. McVey said:
 "The Old South Trust Company was closed today by the bank examiner at my request.
