 Patrick Holohan was heard for the board of '9S. He referred to MT Hall as the highest type of good citizen ship and concluded in this fashion:
 But what's the use of me talking here in presence of men so we'll versed in municipal affairs, mayors. ex-may- ors and would-be mayors"
 This was the hit of the evening and no one appeared to appreciate it better than Judge Cowell.
 Representative Lilley was introduced as future governor of Connecticut. He made clever speech and told q good story.
 Ex-Mayor Barlow spun a yarn and wound up by hoping to see Senator Hall matched against Mayor Kilduff in a race for the mayoralty two years hence.
 Martin Scully said few words re garding the newspaper business. He thought Waterbury fortunate in hav- ing such excellent papers. He be- lieyed they meant to be fair and pos sessed enough independence to criti- else when the occasion called for it, regardless of whom the parties might be. He regarded this one of the pen alties that come to men who are cho- sen to fill public positions or seek to represent the public in any capacity. He had reported almost all the ses- sions held by the different boards rep resented at the banquet and had no hesitation in stating that so far as he knew all had served the city to the best of their ability. He saw marked difference in the attitude Of the city government of to-day towards corporations compared with that of six years ago. At the present time the aldermen demand more conditions

FATHER ASKS FOR POSSESSION OF CHILD
LIVELY EXCHANGE OF VIEWS BETWEEN JUSTICE
AND COUNSEL.

fore the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court
Brooklyn, TO whether a fourteen-months-
old baby might safely take a trip from New York
to Nebraska. The child is Gladys Weyant who is
in the care of her aunt in Brooklyn. and her
father. Frank b. Weyant, lives near Lincoln, Neb
few days after the child was born the mother
died
Mr.. Weyant came to Brooklyn in May last and
asked for his child but get possession of
her On application for a writ of habeas corpus
asserted that il would be dangerous to take the
child so long a journey. and denied the writ.
In the OF the argument yesterday Justice
Hrschberg remarked to the attorney for the
spondent, the aunt: 1.-The only thing i can see Is
that your doctors say the baby might be hurt In
two ways. The change of water might affect her.
and the badly ventilated might cause a de-
pressing effect. The child might be struck by
lightning, but that is reason why the father
should not have her The only reason for keeping
him from having her seems to be that the aunt
has attachment for her.
'She has shown such attachment" replied the
lawyer. "and can care for the child better than the
father"
You might be under the impression" reioined
Justice Woodward. that you could care for nv
children better than i can, but that is no reason
why you should take them from me-"
Decision reserved.
