|OLD BASEBALL MACNATE JAILED
Roger E. Baker Charged With EmDezzlement in
 Sum of $2OO,OOO

Boston. Oct. 1O.-(UPl.-Au. thorities investigating the alleged S2OO,OO0 embezzlement of Roger E. Baker, assistant treasurer of the Dimond Gyrnkraut Kid company. chain restaurant owner, and for- mer baseball magnate, today sought 6 woman who posed as his wife at his $5O,000 mansion. Search for the woman was instigated bw po- lice discovery of thousands of dol lars of silk undergarments and furs. Officials believed the woman and a sister fled to New Jersey after Baker was arrested.
 While Baker was jailed in lieu of $35,000 bail, his daughter-in-law, Mrs Marie Bouzane Baker, former ly a waitress in one of his chain of restaurants, brought suit for $100,000, alleging he promised to settle $50,000 on her when she married his son, then on parole from Concord reformatory. Mean- while, Mrs Bertha Baker, wife of the alleged embezzler, told authori- ties she would stand by her hus. band despite the fact that a wom- an who posed as Mrs Baker was sought. She reportedly told police she learned only two weeks ago that Baker had bought the mansion and that she would ''stay by him as long as he supports me and my children"
 Bakers automobiles, one $15,- 900 custom-built car, and the other a beach wagon, were repossessed by police and, at the same time, a court order appointing a receiver for his restaurant chain was issued.

CROSS TO BACK
 STATE TEACHERS
Association Plans Drive for Retirement Fund,
 Equalization Programs,

The Connecticut State Teachers association will have the support of Governor Wilbur l.. Cross in their campaign for a retirement fund and equalization programs to be presented to the 1895 general assembly, according to an am nouncement from Hartford.
 The governor expressed his views In letter to F. F. Harrington, ex- ecutive secretary of the association. replying to a questionnaire. He stated that he was already on rec ord as having assured the teachers of the state year ago that the teachers retirement fund must be restored and maintained on it's old basis.
 If reelected governor. he said. he would urge the next legislature to take this action and thus ''keep faith with the teachers of Connec- ticut.'
 ''In commenting the policy of greater participation by the state in financing public education," the statement reads, T approve the principle of equalization as em- bodied in the plan drawn up by the Connecticut State Teachers as- sociation for submission to the next general assembly. Through merited grants to towns as ad- vocated by the democratic plat form, the state would assure a real approach toward equality of op- portunity and at the same time would retain within the towns re- sponsibility for efficient school management. The state will ben- eft both in education and finance if the powers of elective boards of education are not curtailed."
