 The executioner pulled the switch, Mrs Schroeder's body lunged forward and the slipper on her right foot dropped to the floor.
 She was pronounced dead. The body was taken from the execu- tion room,
 Lauers, apparently shaken by the sight of seeing Mrs Schroeder die, did not accompany Dague into the execution room.
 The Rev H. o. Teagarden, spir- itual adviser to Mrs Schroeder. walked into the room with Dague.

Pensions for
 School JanitOrs

,,rovidinp for pensions for them for some time, These pensions would he similar to those granted janitors and teachers in the inside public schools.
 However. the matter carried along until after the period of filing pills closed. The last day for filing bills was January 30th. Later, realizing that they had missed out in the mat ter of presenting their measure. the janitors' representatives are under stood to have taken the matter up with members of the legislature from Waterbury.
 As a result, it is reported, it has been practically agreed to attempt to tack an amendment to some of the Waterbury bills providing for such pensions.
 The only bill to which this amend ment will be tackled is believed to be the one introduced by Senator Jo- seph H. Lawlor at tine requst of Mayor Frank Hayes. This bill, 1t will be rem membered, was first intro- duced in skeleton form by Senator Lawlor and rejected. by the clerk of the senate. The. Dill was de- signed to take care of the proposed changes in the city charter so that in the future the mayor might ap- point the controller and tax collec- tor and remove the power from the citizens of electing these two of ficials.
 When the bill was turned back to Senator Lawlor it was re-made by Corporation Counsel Charles s. O. Connor In such a way that when it was presented once again it took L. hn ntt ttxys Ira t-t oc xuh a nd related to the powers of every elec- tive official and board and every ap- pointative board and official in the city. .s2
 Therefore, 1t Is now believed that this bill gives the school panitors of Waterbury q loophole in that they may find it possible to tack on an amendment to this general bill and have their case heard by: the com mittee on cities and boroughs of the legislature, .At,s

 Another of the three bills to be heard provides for another two-yea. extension of the rights of the Wa terbury and Milldale Tramway com pany, better known as the Green Line." Every session of the 1egisla- ture the Green line" asks for an extension of its rights and the bill is passed. It is expected that this years action by the legislature will be no different from that taken in the past.
 The third bill requests that the corporate existence of the Waterbury and Bristol Tramway company be terminated. It will be remembered that the rights of this line were sold by Attorney Cassidy's corporation to the New England Transportation company, a subsidiary of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, a couple of years ago. The bill, which is due to pass will wipe out the corporation known as the Waterbury and Bristol Tram way company and leave the field en- tirely open to the New England Transportation company. which now holds the franchise by private agree ment
