MAYOR KILDUTFs VETO.
He Disapproves of Giving Donato
 Meo One Hundred Dollars.

The board of aldermen met last night and passed upon several matters m a remarkably short time. There were present Chairman Goss, Messrs Keefe, Pagan, O'Brien, Murray. Gates, Stanley, Chesson, Beach and City Clerk Ryan
 The following communication was received from his honor, Mayor ISIl- duff:
 To the Honorable Board of Aldermen,
 City of Waterbury:
 Gentlemen :--T herewith return to you, without my approval, the action of your honorable board of July T,
 1902, ordering that the sum of $100
 be paid to Donate Meo, in full com-s pensation for injuries received by falling on q cr0sswalk on Bank street,
 on February 10. 1902
 Upon investigation of this matter,
 I am of the opinion that the city is not
 legally liable in any degree, for the l injuries sustained, and the damages
 resulting therefrom to Mir Meo. am informed by creditable witness es that at the time of the accident in question that portion of the highway where the injuries were received was in good and safe condition for public travel am further informed that the
 action of your honorable board was partly prompted by the belief that 1t
 would be less expensive to settle this claim by the payment of the amount ordered than to contest 1t in court;
 also that it was partly prompted through sympathy for the claimant. While the claimant has our sympa- l, thy, we are hardly justified for such
 reason to pay him q sum which may
 not De legally due him. The result
 of pursuing such policy is very mani. fest. It would invite and encourage the presentation of large number of un- just and illegal claims against the
 city,
 Your further consideration of the
 matter is respectfully requested. | f E. G. KILDUFF, Mayor. Waterbury, Conn, July 15, 1902 I The veto was sustained by unan-
 irnous vote. MT Meo is now in Italy, 1 but he is expected back soon. The
 different recommendations of the board
 of public works were adopted The
 application of Charles Brown for g
 scavenger's license was referred to the board of public health.

HE COULDN'T PROVE THEM.
Dr DeLigouri Made Charges at' Board of Charities Meeting.

|
 The warm weather appears to have some effect upon public officials. They don't like to attend meetings when the thermometer is up around the nine ties. There wasn't a quorum present at the meeting of the board of chari- ties last night. Besides Mayor Kill duff, the presiding officer, there were present Commissioners Moore and Dis ley, Superintendent Doran and Clerk McMahon.
 physician for the month beginning ing $1,10T.S7 for the care of the out side poor, were approved.
 Dr DeLigouri was present and ad- dressed the board in behalf of Antonio Carlo, who met with an accident some time ago and Is now suffering from paralysis. The physician wished the board to do something for the unfor- man. Superintendent Doran stated that Carlo has a wife and daughter, that they would be better able to take care of themselves if Carlo was away. He had offered to send Carlo to the Brookside home but he refused to go. Carlo wanted his rent paid but the superintendent stated that under the conditions he did not think 1t proper to pay his rent but he gave him gro ceries. Superintendent Doran suggest cd to Dr DeLigouri the plan of send ing Carlo back to Italy but the doctor opposed this saving that the town from which Carlo caine did not make any provisions for the poor.
 The board asked the doctor what aid he wanted for Carlo. He said if the board paid $200 week for rent for him it would be very reasonable. The man might be able to pay if back sometime. He did not think 1t just fo separate q man from his wife and children and send him to the Brook side home. At this period Dr DeLi- gouri made the sensational statement that persons who had from $500 to $l,OO0 in the bank were receiving aid regularly from the board of charities. Mayor Kilduff immediately questioned this statement and asked the doctor to name one case of this kind. The doctor summoned his friend Carlo. from the corridor of the hall and learned the name of the person. refer red to above, and told the board of if. But no such name was on the books of the superintendent The board then adjourned Dr DeLigouri was asked to attend the next meeting and bring in a list of names of persons who have money in the bank and ara re- ceiving support from the city.

HoADLEYS GAIN IA POINT.
Judge Cleaveland Overruled a Plea in
 Abatement Yesterday

Judge Cleaveland OverruleG a Plea in
 Abatement Yesterday
 The brothers Charles and Horace Hoadley of this city have won another point i'll. their fight for 8 portion of the millions of the late Millionaire Plant. Yesterday in the probate court Ill New Haven Judge Cleaveland de- cided point in their favor. Some time ago Attorney Shipman, of Gross, Hyde & Shipman, counsel for the ex- ecutors of the estate and for Mrs Plant and her son, Merton Plant, filed plea in abatement. About the same time Colonel Burpee, counsel for the Hoad- leys, petitioned the court for an order restraining the executors from remov- ing any part of the estate from this state. Judge Cleveland oyerruled the plea in abatement, q very important advantage for the Hoadleys, as it de- cides that their claims shall be heard in the probate court of New Haven. In support of this decision Judge Cleveland furnishes a memorandum which is as follows
 . A long line of decisions in this state clearly establishes the doctrine that the matter of the control of the estate of q deceased person during settle ment, and of the settlement of the ac- counts Of executors and administra- tors, is within the exclusive jurisdic- tion of the probate court, or the super for court on appeal from the probate court. It is therefore difficult to see how any action pending in the super for court other than an appeal from probate can bar an application in this court concerning these matters. The New York cases cited as authority for a contrary rule are based on the doc trine which obtains in that state that the supreme court and the surrogate's s court have concurrent Jurisdiction of the accounts of executors. See Rogers vs King, Paige, 2I0.
 The plea to the Jurisdiction is there- fore overruled

HAS PLAN FOR CADETS.
Secretary of Navy LonE suGGests
Method for Admission Of Naval
Constructors TO Service.

Secretary Long has disapproved q
recommendation OF the general board
respecting the admission of naval con-
structors to the service. Because Of
the insufficient number OF junior Off
GERS and the prospective inadequacy
Of the naval academy to supply the
need. the board recommended that the
transfers to the construction corps of
the three cadets who annually gradu-
ate at the head Of their class at An
napolis be discontinued, and that in
stead these cadets be given line Places,
while naval constructors would be
chosen from civil life. Secretary Long
disapproved this recommendation. but
he qualified the disapproval by an
ame ndment so that the three grsdu-
ates standing highest should not nee.
essarily go into the construction corps
but that vacancies In that corps might
be Allied by the selection Of any one
Of the graduates.

In these days of precocious children
II Is difficult to uncover any exploit
that will seem unusual. but the con-
vcrsntion of the six-year-old New
York boy who has just returned after
living and being schooled several
years in England, certainly deserves
to be entered for honors.
This youngstcr had a small brother
named Maurice; both boys had been
brought home from n neighbor's be-
cause some friends of their own fam
lily wished to see them. They had
been Mt home only n few minutes
when suddenly the six-year-old up
peared at the neighbor's house.
"Why," said the lady Of the house,
show did you get away?'
Whereupon with great dignity and
broad English as the boy replied:

reached its height l slipped out un-
