SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS SOLICITED
Independent Democrats Said 10 Be Promising.

CATHERINE HANLON
 LINKED WITH PLAN
Telephone and Whispering Campaign on in Earnest
 By Independents

Independent democratic workers have begun a cam paign of job-promising among the substitute school teachers of the city in an ef- fort to bolster up their strength for the coming municipal election, it has been learned. Definite informa- tion has been obtained to the effect that Attorney Gather inc Hanlon, one of the inde- pendent candidates, called substi- tute teachers yesterday afternoon and promised to do something" for them if the Tobin party is vic- Etorious.
 Regular teachers in the local schools were wondering today if the promises being made to the substitutes mean that their jobs are in the precarious condition. Waterbury has many old-time teachers who are held in high es- teem by their present and former pupils, and intimations that they may be forced on the retired list by the independents has created considerable hard feeling here.

,$25, 900 Fee AHoued Closed Bank Receiuer
Judge Jennings Compliments Citizens & Manufactur- CTS National Bank for Conduct of Affairs of
 Merchants Trust Company

The Citizens & Manufacturers National Bank, receiver for the Merchants Trust Company, is ale lowed $25.000 as fee for ser vices rendered to the closed bank since it suspended operation on December 23, 1881, according to a, decision of Judge Newell Jen- nings handed down in superior court today. The receiver had ask ed s57,000.
 At the same lime, Judge Jen- nings allows a fee of $3,100 to the firm of Carmody & Thoms for ser vices rendered as counsel to the re- ceiver. This sum, added to the $18,500 the firm has received since assuming the position as receivers counsel, makes a total of $21,6b0 the law firm has received since its appointment, April Il, 1894. At torney Francis T. Reeves. receivers s first counsel, who resigned and was succeeded by Carmody X Thoms, received $S5.000 for his services. .i-
 Judge Jennings approves the orders passed for the receiver passed in chamber seaeions, ac- cepts the final report 6f' the re- ceiver and grants a discharge to the receiver for further obligation. The state bank commissioners now takes over the receivership.
 t Strenuous objection to the granting of the fee was voiced at last Fridays session of the court when the application for a fee for the receiver was filed. Attorney Michael V. Blansfield pointed to statements made in court that the receiver in taking over the re- ceivership, would expect no com pensatiop. It was because of MT. Blansfield's objections when the receiver first applied for fees. last year, that action by the court was deferred.
 Judge Jennings complimented the receiver for the manner m which 1t conducted the receiver ship, stating: T feel that 1t has been handled with energy, origin ality, industry and success. In view of the distressed condition Of the country in general and of Waterbury in particular at the time of closing. it does not seem possible that the affairs of the bank could be as fully and well liquidated as their final report shows.' s
 Judge Jennings also states that officers of the receiver bank feel very confident that if they were allowed to continue along present lines, they would be able to pay one hundred per cent to depositors.

 While 17-year- old Esther Magill, "other woman" in the love triangle that allegedly resulted in care. fully plotted murder, waited in an anterroom prepared to testify as the states star witness, Dis- trict- Attorney Owen A. Hoban asked the jury to send sherman to the death chair.
 The first witnesses for the gov- ernment were Dwight King, Sutton electrician and neighbor of Sher- man, who told of recovering Mrs. Sherman's body; pr. Frederick H. Baker, veteran medical-examiners who testified the autopsy proved conclusively that death was due to drowning; and Lieutenant Ed ward J. Mccarthy of the state poe lice, who told of obtaining Sher. mans full confession"
 Mccarthy was still on the stand when court recessed for lunch. Superior Judge Thomas J. Ham, mond, one time legal associate of the late Calvin Coolidge, advised jurors that while court would re- convene at 2 p. m. they would not be seated until 2:30. Tn the interim, the judge explained, argu- ments would be heard on the ad- instability of Sherman's reputed confession that he drowned his 22- year-old wife so he could elope with Esther. M

 Washington, Sept. 24.--(UP)-A drive for big republican presi- dent campaign chest in the "beat iRooseveit'' fight next year is ex- pected to be initiated at d meeting here tomorrow of republican party leaders.
 Financial groundwork for the re- publican fight to .peturn to power will be laid at a closed meeting of the executive committee of the re- publican national committee.
 The conference of 20 aeaders will. at the same time give Chair man Henry P. Fletcher of the na- tional committee first hand ap- praisal of national reaction to the constitutional defense issue, raised by republicans and conservative democrats in speeches on constitu- ton day last week.
 Fletcher said today that party finances will be the main subject. He saw the need of a war fund" in 1e36, substantially more" than was used in 1882 in the Hoover reelection fight. He said big campaign chest was needed to conn bat the effect of the administra- tior's relief expenditures.
 "We are not starving" Fletcher said, but the committee has to consider ways and means of nnanc- ing the campaign"
 Tn 1882; campaign expenditures of the party amounted to $1,S16.- $40. The democrats spent $i.- e3S,177.
 fletcher ridiculed charges of Chairman James A. Farley of the democratic national committee that the republican party planned sur reptitious methods of obtaining contributions on a large scale.
 Every contribution which is re- celved win be received through the usual channels and sent on to the clerk of the house as required by law" Fletcher said.
