 in BuCketeer Case

New York, July 2S.-Arnold Roth stein, alleged millionaire gambler and race track man yesterday sidestsepped around series of questions at ref eree's hearing in the E. M. Fuller & company bucket shop failure. de- signed to make him admit that 1885, 900 of the $5,0O0,O00 missing assets of the firm went into his pocket as the result of huge race track wagers with Edward M. Fuller.
 Rothstein, bland and suave most of the day, almost all of which was spent in examining him-athough he was ruffled once or twice by threats to commit to jail for contempt-took refuge from nearly all the questions shot at him behind one of the two phrases, T don't remember" and Il refuse to answer on the ground that it might tend to degrade or incriminate me-"
 Did you ever bet with Edward M. Fuller, with respect to any event?" William M. Chadbourne, of counsel for the receiver in bankruptcy, asked near the end of the session, after Rothstein had evaded questions as to reason various checks were made out to him by Fuller.
 T cant answer that on the ground that 1t might tend to degrade or lncriminate me-" oRthstell answered 'blandly. Then he added, with a twinkle in his eyes:
 Its a misde1neanor to bet isn't I.?"
 You ought to know" retorted MT. Chadbourne. Isn't it fact that the total of such transa ctions with Fuller amounted to $3S5,00O?"
 The first time I heard of it was today" Rothstein replied. T doubt very much if did receive it."
 The witness refused to answer questions as to whether he had had betting transactions with William F. McGee, Fuller's partner, expressing the view that his answer to that also might tend to degrade and incrminate him. ".
 He couldn't remember whether my one had come to him recently with requests for financial aid for Fuller and McGee, though he said he had loaned them money many times both before and since their firm failed and they were jailed for contempt of court for production of records show ing what became of their assets.
 Asked to produce at the next hear ing, September 21, a memorandum of his loans to the partners, he ex- claimed defiantly:
 I'm telling you now that I'm not going to produce them. They haven't any bearing on this case. Is it d crime to loan money to 1nyone?"

NEW HAVEN SCHOOL
 TEACHERS WINNERS
Given Judgment in Salary Suit
 Appeal

New Haven, July 2S.--Bernard J. McDonnell, president of the New Ha- ven Teachers league, is granted his 1923 salary increase under the deci- sion handed down by the supreme court of errors here yesterday. This was the test case which went to the supreme court from the local court of common pleas and upon the deci- sion hinged the action which the 1000 or more other school teachers of New Haven propose to take to re- cover salary they allege to be due them.
 The decision in the teachers case was written by Justice Curtiss and the court finds "error" and orders the case 'remanded with instruc- tions to enter judgment for the plaintiff against the defendant New Haven city school district in accord with the plaintiffs affidavit of in- debtedness. No error is found in the judgment for the defendant, the city of New Haven"
 A Test Case.
 Suit was brought during the win ter by the school teachers, the Me Donnell case being used as test one, and writ was filed in the com mon pleas court. Mcdonnell alleged in his complaint that he was a prin- cipal in one of the grammar schools of the New Haven school district and that on Sept. 9, 1921, the board of education of the school district adopted schedule of teachers sal aries in which it was provided that the maximum annual salary to a principal in grammar school should be $3,000 and that each teacher not receiving maximum salary payable to one in his position should receive an annual increase of salary of s1o0 un- til such maximum was reached.
 McDonnell's Claim.
 Mcdonnell claimed he was receiv- ing $2,1o0 year in 1921 and by the terms of the schedule became en- titled to a salary of $2,200 for the year 1922, which was duly paid him, and the salary of s2,3OO for the year 1923.
 By rule of the board of educa- tton. as modified by agreen1ent of the parties, the salary of the plaintiff and of all other teachers was payable fh ten equal installments during the school year from September until

United States Upheld
 By English High Court

London, July 2s.-The judicial com mittee of the privy council has de- cided in favor of the United States governments appeal from the judg- ment of the supreme court of On- tario which decided against the gov ernment in suit to recover title and possession of lands and buildings in Ontario purchased by Motor Trucks limited, a Canadian concern.
New Britain herald., 1923-07-28

June and the first installment for 1923 became payable on January ls' 1928.
 The plaintiff further claimed;
 By reason of the aforesaid acts Of said board of education the plaintiff became entitled to receive from the defendants on January 19, 1928, one tenth of his yearly salary of s2,300 for the year 1923, namely, $230, sub ject to certain proper deductions In accordance with law and the rules of said board, amounting to $53.77, of which s2.30 was payable to the Teachers Retirement fund under the provisions of the act establishing such fund, and $51.47 was deductible for eight and one-half days absence by the plaintiff during the month of January, 1923, being one-half days pay for each day of absence, leaving balance due plaintiff of s176.2S.
 The defendants have neglected and refused to pay to the plaintiff said sum of $176.23, although de- mand has been made therefor.
 "The plaintiff claims .$200 dam- ages"
 City Demurretl.
 To this the city of New Haven de- murred on the ground that the plaintiff was employed by the New Haven city school district and that the cause of action was against the school district alone. It also alleged that as matter of law the board of education or the New Haven city school district had no power to pro- vide that salary should be paid by the city of New Haven to the plain tiff or to fix the amount thereof. Also that the city had no power le- gally to authorize or permit the board of education to act in the behalf of the city in providing what salary should be paid or to fix the amount
 Sustained by Simpson
 The demurrer was sustained by Judge Earnest c. Simpson, who at the time handed down lengthy memor- anda.
 Thereupon Mcdonnell filed motion for judgment against the New Haven that the defendant had been duly served in the action, but made default of appearance. He filed an affidavit of indebtedness amounting to $176.23 to- gether with interest from January 19 and the costs of the suit.
 Judge Simpson in his decision de- nied that motion because by law the New Haven city school district has ceased to function and because it does not appear that any appropriation has ever been made with which to pay plaintiffs demand"
 The appeal was taken from this de- cision on the following grounds:
 "1-The court erred in sustaining the demurrer of defendant, the city of New Haven, to the complaint.
 "2-The court erred in denying the motion of the plaintiff for judgment against defendant the New Haven city school district.
 "3-The court erred in ruling and holding that the complaint did not state cause of action against either defendant"

FARMERS IF EAST, IGNORING EUROPE CROW LOCAL CROPS
New England Planters Find Their Markets in Large
 Cities

NEW YORK, March 21.-Paradoxi- cally, the eastern farmer does not cultivate the international mind' like his western colleague. He feeds folks close to home, the westerne- feeds folks across the seas and his prices are fixed across the seas and he thinks in terms of overseas.
 So it is that prosperity for the farmer in the east is more a mat ter of good crops and good American capacities. Given these two bless iEgs, eastern farmers are convinced that 1923 will bring rising tide of the Appalachians. Forget Europe!
 Further west, the grain grower and cattle raiser needs to worry whether reparations. Ruhr occupa- tion, tranquility" and soviet recog- milton. the shiboleths of the cable prosperous and healthy European market, for his corn, meat and wheat.
 Assured Of Markets.
 But Tn the eastern United States crowded city markets assure the farmer of buyers for his dairy prod ucts. fruit and vegetables. Within a year when there is no unemployment in American industry, all the eggs and apples and beets that come to market will get a fair price.
 With practically no unemployment shown in the latest figures from Washington, farmers on the Atlantic slope expect sturdy demand and good prices for everything they grow.
 This explains why farmers in the east were more concerned Wednes- day with possible danger to their fruit crops from the latest cold wave tLan they were with Secretary Hughes message stating on what terms he will recognize the soviet government.
 In the west the Hughes statement absorbed more interest in the rural districts than big sheaf of weather reports.
 Significant are figures from Mas sachusetts showing that crops in that state were worth $50 an acre, against an average of ST an acre for the rest of the countrys farms in 1922.
 "While not any too well off," says the Massachusetts state agricultural department" the farmers of this state are better fixed than those in other parts of the country. The out look for 1923 is good and farmers are going forward with more cour- age than they displayed last year.
