North Carolina voters will next
year gaily proceed to nominate then
next lieutenant governor with no
more thought of his qualifications
than of constablc's or corOners.

that some Of these days the law OF
averages is going to Dring death to
Tar Heel governor during his term
OF office Nor Will they pause to
irealIze that the lieutenant governor,
by virtue OF ms power to appoint all
Senate committees, has perhaps as
much influence on legislation as does
the Number one man himself.

in the death Of Marcus Erwin, U. ).

ton counsel of Bridgeport and the state attorney-general for clarifica- tion of the statutes. The convention slated for last night, was adjourned to August 16.
 The socialists found contradic- tions in the act proposing the city manager charter, old state statutes and an amendment to the election laws made by the 1889 General As- sembly. Other proposed election states, such as the potential George T. Culhane and Pasquale Perriello tickets, might also be affected.

SCHUBERT'S MUSIC
 CONCERT FEATURE
Learning to Listen Series Continues Tonight at
 Bronson Library

Another concert in the series be- ing given at the Silas Bronson Li- brary under the diection of Walden Trimble and Paulette Wolozin will be presented tonight at 2 o'clock. To- nights program will feature the contrast between the music of today and music written by Franz Schu- bert, the famous romantic com- poser of the early 18th century.
 AS typical of the best to be found in contemporary music, the directors of the course tonight will present the music of the American in Paris suite by the late George Gershwin, as recorded by Paul Whiteman and his orchestra. Both Gershwin and Whiteman, while well versed in the classics, felt that jazz music had something to offer to music lovers that typified the new America of today.
 This evenings program will in- clude the Symphony No. 2 in c Major, to represent the work of Franz Schubert. This, the tenth of his symphonies in chronological or der, is considered the greatest or chestral work ever composed by him. The recording to be played tonight will be one made by Adrian Bould and British Broadcasting Company Symphony orchestra, which is sec- ond only to the famous NEG or chestra, led by Arturo Toscanini, as a symphonic body.

COURT ORDERS AID
 FOR AGED FATHER
Three Children Instructed to Pay $7 Weekly to
 Parents Support

Dignity and decorum must be observed in the City Court of Wa terbury," Judge John L. Gaffney warned woman who became cx- cited and uttered an exclamation at testimony being recorded against her today.
 A little later, a former WPA worker, who said he had been laid off the rolls about 30 days ago took the stand without coat.
 "The next time you're in court, please wear coat" said Prosecutor Michael J. Galullo.
 Weekly payments of $7 to their father were ordered in the case of Peter Terenzi. 27. of A Hill street; Marie Terenzi, 38, of 38 Hill street, and Florence Troiano, 37, of 38 Hill street.
 Peter Terenzi testified he had no money, as he was laid off WPA recently. He said he has a wife and family. Florence Troiano, wife of the man who took the stand without a coat, told a similar story.
 The father, Michelangelo Terenzi, lives at 30 Scovill street, and Is 70 years old.

must be filed three days previous, with the town clerk.
 No action can be taken until after October 3, and the city election is scheduled for Nov. IA Thus 1t would be impossible for minor party, not eligible for place on the ballot be- cause of its past vote, or for a ne v party, to participate in the city elec- tion, if the city manager plan meets defeat.
 Another new law provides that while the names of all candidates for state officers may be included in one nominating petition, separate petitions must be filed for each office in the case of city offices.
 Attorney F. c. Smedl5y, possible Socialist candidate for mayor, an- ticipates that another section may negative the previous, however. At the convention last night he pointed out section TIP, which provides that '"The provisions of this chapter shall not extend to any political party or political organization casting less than 10 per centum of the total vote of any town or city in the last pre- vious general election"
 The Socialists cast 40 per cent of the total vote in 1888, a state elec- tion, but had no place on the 1887 city election.

COMPROMISE MADE
 ON PENDING NOTE
Judge Daily Approves Set- clement Between Bank
 Commissioner, Borrower

A receivers report and an appli- cation for permission to compromise claim have been filed in superior court. The report is that of the re- ceiver of the Industrial Properties, Inc, from June 30 to July 3l, 1889. Durin gthis time, the receipts of the corporation were reported as $3,- 766.11 while the total disbursements were $3585.95, leaving a balance of cash on hand, August 1, of $180.16.
 In the case of George J. Bassett, former Bank Commissioner, vs. The Merchants Trust Co.,, an application for permission to compromise a claim was filed by Bank Commis- sioner Walter Perry for the bank. It was found that among the assets of the Merchants Trust Go. was a three-month promissory note from Joseph D. Cohen, on which the principal, originally 5000, had been paid up, except for $345, and inter- est amounting to $235. Taking into consideration the salary which MT. Cohen receives, as well as other ob- ligations he must meet, Commis- sioner Perry applied for permission to compromise the claim for a pay ment of $250 in cash. An order to this effect was granted by Superior Court Judge Edward J. Daly.

TEACHERS CHOOSE
 PENSION SYSTEM

More than 400 teachers employed by the state face choice of receiv- Ing pensions from the regular teach CTS retirement fund or from the new retirement service for state employees. According to Miss Dor othy Shanley of the State Teachers Retirement Board. forms have been sent to all the teachers concerned, to see whether they prefer to keep on under the existing system or benefits fro mthe teachers fund, or to withdraw from this, in order to receive payments from the state. The decision that teachers on the state poyroll might elect either system of retirment benefits that they pre- fer made last week by Assistant AL torney General Harry l.. Brooks However. no transfer Of benefits fro none system to the other IS possible, so 1t is thought that many of the teachers will be unwilling to lose the benefits they have built up under the old system by transferring to the state benefit system.
