Mr, McMahon claimed that. such a

Influenced by an opinion of
Attorney Comley, the Board of/Al-
(lurmcn last night decided that it
did not have the power to vote a
special bonus appropriation for the
city's school teachers. The opinion
of the city attorney was read by
President E. J_ McManus, who, as
chairman of a special committee. ap-
pointed by the aldcrmen to try to
find a way in which the teachers
CUE
could get the $57,000 granted them
by the State. The Council cham-
ber was crowded with school teach-
ers and their friends. who were dis-
appointed when the aldermanic help
on which they had built hope failed
to materialize. The opinion follows:
Calls lt Illegal.
"Concerning this question. it must
be assumed at the outset that the
Common Council has not the right in
make a gift of the public funds. If
there can be any payment to the
teachers. it must be in consideration
of services rendered it the past
year or years. But very obviously
the consideration for the services ren-
dered by the teachers is: firm! 'w their
contracts. and it is conceded that. they
have received the full amount of their
contract salaries. Therefore, the pav-
ment now asked for is in the nature
':-f a bonus, or something beyond the
salaries contracted for. Such a grant
of extra money is expresmy prohibit-
ed by the Constitution of the State of
Connecticut. It is, therefore,‘my opin-
ion that the Common Council has no
right to appropriate and pay to the
teachers money in ‘excess of their
stipulated salaries.

It was generally agreed that the
convention had 'beeny‘a‘ great success.
If noise and 'lmflagglng display of en-
thusiasm were a guage of that suc~
cess, there was ample ground for
their view. Up to the last the'dele-
gates were ready to cheer Or to dem-
onstrate at every opportunity.
In a way the scene yesterday when
Mr. Roosevelt was nominated rivaled
that of the break-up early in the
morning or the McAdowCox deadlock
and the nomination of Cox. What it
lacked in the tense expectancy of the
last ballots after the action of Attor—
neyGenel-al Palmer in releasing his
delegates broke down the barrier that.
had held the convention helpless
through 38 ballots, the Roosevelt
nomination made up in the swiftneu
with which the decision was reached.
Nominating speeches were again
the order of the day when the conven-
tion assembled at noon: Half a dozen
candidates were put forward and
there was evidence' that a strong
movement was on to name a man

Mr. Fairchlld also seeks to prevent
Attorney-General Palmer from enforc-
ing the amendment. Justice Bailey
issued an order for Secretary Colbv
and the Attorney-General to show
cause July 13 why the motion should
not be granted.
'The basis of the proceedings is the
claim that the ratification of the
amendment by the West Virginia
Legislature was illegal because "ac—
complished by fraud and that the pro-
.posed ratification by the Tennessee
Legislature also would be illegal on
the ground that the legislature lacked
authority under the state‘s constitu-
tion to act on the measure.
Only thirty-five states have ratified
lilo amendnlént and as ratification by
one other ismecessary, the attack on
lhe amendment through the courts at
this time Came as a surprise in Sun’-
rage circles here. An attack on the
legality of the action of the Tenure—
sce Legislature had been expected, but
not until the legislature actually had
acted.
In anticipation of such a move by
the anti-Suffrage forces, the organi-
zations supporting the amendment,
have urged early action by more than?
thirty-six states so that the amend-

Harold R. Ballard Sustains
Bad Scalp Wound and
Possible Fracture of Skull
Harold R. Ballard, of 13 Lincoln
avenue, Second district, was struck
on the head by an angle iron that fell
from the railroad lower, opposite
Lcary’s store, on Railroad avenue,
shortly after 8 oclock this morning,
while working on the tracks beneath
the tower.
At the Norwalk Hospital, where the
injured man was taken, it was said
that he had a, bad scalp wound, but it
is not known whether he has a frac-
tured skull or not, his condition being
such that it is likely that he has not.
Just how the iron came to fall is
not known, but another man, whose
name ~"as not learned. was at work on
the tower. where the transformers for
the electric current are located. and it
is hrlicvml that he accidentally knock-
ed the piece of iron on“.
Ballard was treated by Dr. Sulli-
