have been in Connecticut. The sum,
to be paid is graded according to va-.
rions provisions, but cannot be for‘
loss than 8200 ttor for more than $5001
a year. The teachers contend that no.
teacher capable of holding her DON-t
tion will give it up to accept the small-
er sum avaiiabie as a pension.

They further contend that of 32.-
000,000 appropriated annually for ed-'
ucation in this State the amount neces-
sary to maintain the hind would be
contparntivciy small. it is suggested
that there is a possibility that many
of the townss profiting bythe town

aid now and that the money for the
pensions could he taken from that
without doing injustice to anyone.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—Behind the Federal Jury in-
vestigatiop in progress here to determine if there has been
a systematic violation of American neutrality and cus-
toms laws, there was said today to lie a determination by
the United'Statcs government to make effective its stand ' '.
against detention of any American vessel by a belligcrcnt '
power‘ on a suspicion that contraband is in the cargo. It
was explained unofficially that the government‘s position
in the matter of preserving i eutrality would be made
more secure. in the eyes of foreign nations, by establish-
ing a policy of prosecuting attempts at such violations,
since such prosecutions Would in effect, it was pointed out,
serve to place guarantees upon American cargoes that
they were not contraband. ‘ - '

The documents in poss< ssion of the jury contain
charges that the Hamburg-A merican Steamship Line has ‘
attempted to use Norwegian mcrchant shipsas auxiliaries ,
to German war vessels on the Atlantic. -

, lilisstatcmcnts, in clearance papers, as to ports of
call or destination, and false statements in manifests as
to the contents of cargoes" are alleged. and the investiga-
tion of the charges is being conducted, it is understood, 3
.on the theory that such false statements constitute acon- ‘
spiracy against the United .‘tatcs Government. .

Complaints are said to have bccnrcccivctl by the ’
federal authoritcs that (lozcrs of tramp steamers have _ _;
sailed with contraband cargoes 'attcr ,tnnking .niilegai
manifestsand false statements as to destinations. Saii- , ' »
