ONLY THREE CLAIMS ALLOWED,

Committee on Claims Sit from Eight
 o'clock Until About Midnight.
 The committee on Claims held a most lengthy meeting in City hall last eve ming, going into session at s o'clock and not finishing until about midnight. Both the corporation counsel and his assistant were present and there were numerous other attorneys present to represent the nine claimants.
 After the hearing, the committee went into executive session and with the exception of three claims the com mittee will recommend that the appli- cants be given leave to withdraw. The appropriation is very low at the pres ent time, so the committee had to be exceedingly careful in giyin gifts de cisions.
 The committee voted to recommend that Mrs. Imogene A. Weld be given $20O, although her attorney stated that at least $1,0OO should be awarded. They voted to give Hugh and Winifred Din neen $1OO, and Cora E. Scoville $50. The other six applicants are given leave to withdraw.

HEAD OF THE FIRM OF THOMAS
 PHILLIPS 6 SONS.

Passed Away After Brief Confinement
 at Home-A Sterling Citizen and
 Business Man.
 The sad news of the death of Thom- as A. Bassttt, for a number of years past head of the widely known firm or Thomas Phillips & Son, marble work CTS on High street, will be much de- plored, andi host of friends will eX- perience deep sorrow at his loss. He passed away at his home on High street last evening at 5:3O o'clock. lie had been confined to the house but a short time, and only a few days ago was about town. His health, however, had been gradually declining, owing to diabetes, which caused his death. He was a native of this city, was thirty six years of age, born October lI, 1S69. He was one of our much esteemed younger business men, ever courteous, affable kindly in spirit, of highly pleasing manners and adresS, a man of honor, integrity, refinement and artis- tic tastes.
 He was the only son of s. A. Bas- sett, one of our well known and es- teemed citizens. He was a graduate of Dwight school and Hillhouse High school. He upon the death of his un- cle, the lamentad Thomas Humphrey Phillips, succeeded to the charge and management of the Phillips Marble works, established by his grandfather more than half century ago. He de- veloped and enlarged the business, keeping pace with the growth of the city and the increased demands in his line of business. He became first con- nected with the business at the age of seventeen. On the death of his uncle in 1900 he became head of the firm.
 He was a veteran Gray as was his uncle, the late Thomas H. Phillips, and like the latter was devoted to the or ganization and ever alive to it's inter- ests. He was a. member of the Quinni- piack club and had served in resonsi- ble positions in the management of it's affairs. He was a member of Wooster lodge, A. F. & A. M., and of Trinity Episcopal church.

(Continued from First Page.) several very crowded districts in the city. which must be relieved in the near future, and this appropriation is asked in order to purchase sites for these buildings as advantageously as possible. Detailed accounts of these needs will be presented to the board of. finance.
 Perhaps the most important need for a new school is that felt for one some- where near the center of the city, to relieve the Eaton, Hamilton and Woos- ter districts. Another crowded region is the Strong district. The Strong school is now filled to capacity, and a new school is needed in the. near fu- ture. Winchester district is also in need of new building. Additional land in the rear of Ezekiel Cheever and the new Scranton street schools is among the needs catalogued under this general head.
 The following resignations were re- ported and accepted:
 Annie A. Condon, Roger Sherman school, room 12, grade 8, assistant, Sep tenIber 1.
 Elizabeth G. Klein, Winchester school room 16, grade 8, assistant, September 29.
 Dhe committee recommended that on account of the transfer of Anna M. Me Donald from the Humphrey street school, room 2, grade 2, to the Eaton school grade i, her salary be fixed at $55O instead of $500, to date from Oc- tober 3.
 The committee recommends that the salary of Sarah J. Flanagan, Wooster school, room 6, be fixed at $550 instead of $500, to date from September Il, as her room has been changed from grade 3 to an unclassified grade. The committee on school buildings recommended appointments as janitors

in the schools for the current year. Inasmuch as the actual salary list is $1,5OO in excess of the appropriation made by the board of finance the board was unable to make the appointments last evening, and laid the report upon the table until something can be done regarding the deficit.
 A communication was received from the High School Alumni association suggesting that the new school build ing on Scranton street be named in honor of Professor Jepson, the popu- lar supervisor of music. The commun- ication was received and ordered on file. The petition will not be granted, as it is the policy of the board to name it's school after the street on which it is located and not after men.

PRES. M'CURDY GETS
 SALARY OF $i6O,OOO

each, a second vice-president $17,500, third vice-president $1O,OOO, and general manager $25,000 who this year will re- ceive $30,O0O, and the treasurer $50,000.
 Robert McCurdy said he never knew the salary of his father until to-day, when he heard it read in the committee room. He thought, however, that there should be no limit to the salary of such positions, because they should be in accordance with the accumulations of the company
 When asked if it was any benefit to the policyholders to increase the presidents salary, MT. McCurdy said he thought the trustees had considered that when they increased the presi- dents salary. No increase, however, had ever been considered when he was present at the trustees meeting.
 Earlier in the day when MT. McCurdy was on the stand MT. Hughes tried to bring out why C. H. Raymond & Go. and the partners in that firm received larger emoluments from the business than any other agency of the company.
 MT McCurdy said he did not know what MT Thebaud received from the business and had never talked with him about his personal affairs. He said it was a large reward for large achievements" and that all businesses of large magnitude were built up on that principle. ..
 During McCurdy's testimony it was brought out that George Raymond, a brother of Charles H. Raymond, was general agent for New Jersey; that Howard Lewis, the. general agent for Northern New York, with an office in Albany, was a cousin of either the vice-president, MT. Granniss, or Mrs. Granniss; that Dr., F. J. Moss, the med ical director of, the Mutual Life, mar ried sister Of the president of the company; and that P. Stuyvesant Pil- lot, an inspector, of risks, is a cousin Of Louis Thebaud, son-in-1aw of Pres ident McCurdy and partner of the Ray mond firm. G., W. White, a secretary of the company, whom MT. McCurdy was asked about, said he was no rela- tive of any officer of the company, but "that Mrs, White was a niece of Mrs. Granniss. wife of Vice-president Granniss" He knew none of the sala- ries of these officers.
 At one point in the days testimony. much interest was manifested when the expenditures of the company were taken up An auditor of the Mutual Life. MT. Preller, was on the stand and he was asked as to the method of recording the expenditures. It was gathered that these were passed upon by an expenditure committee, of which Robert Olyphant was chairman.
 Three entries on the books of pay ments to MT. Olyphant of $25,OO0 each were looked into, but no information could be gleaned. MT. Preller was asked about the campaign contribution to the Republican congressional com mittee, which was disclosed yesterday, but he said it had not come under his observation.
 The $2,5OO contribution to the con- gressional committee was looked for when the ledgers were produced, but up to adjournment this afternoon this had not been found.

Important Addition to Yale's Teaching
 Force.


 Force.
 An important addition to the teach ing force of the department of music at Yale has been made by securing the services of Lewis Williams, hitherto of Boston, as teacher of piano playing. MT. Williams is a Massachusetts man, educated at Harvard, and a pupil in piano of the famous Viennese teacher, Letschetizki, who is universally consid- cred the greatest living representative of the modern school of piano instruc- tion. Professor Knights classes have grown to such proportions that he is unable to do the necessary teaching without assistance, and the department is fortunate in the acquisition of MT. Williams, who is young man of at- tractive personality and a fine pianist and gifted musician!

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
MERIDEN WINS APPEAL FOR
 ASSESSMENT.

Judge Case Decides Dispute Over Tax
 ing of WaIIingfOrd Property in Favor
 of Silver City-HOIIand Guarantee
 Company Again Seeks Change of
 Name-BOoIa Suit Settled.
 An important decision was rendered by Judge Case in the civil side of the Superior court late yesterday after noon in the case of the Town of Meri- de1vs. the Town of Wallingford. The Tease was an appeal from the assessors decision in Wallingford and involved several thousands of dollars.
 The town of Meriden owns 112 acres of land in Wallingford and in 1904 the Wallingford assessors assessed the property to the amount of S6,350. In 1905 the assessment on the same prop erty was raised to $25,654, the assess ors of Wallingford claiming that the raise was made on account of recent Improvements on the land.
 The assessment was appealed from by the Town of Meriden and when Judge Case heard the evidence the at- torneys for the Town of Meriden set up the claim that the land was exempt from taxation as it was now used as filtration plant for the Town of Mer- iden and that it therefore came under the head of public utility.
 Judge Case in his decision finds that 77acres of this land is used as public filtration plant and is exempt from taxation. Of the remaining acres a tax of about $t5 an acre should be lev led, according to the decision. This is 2 big victory for the Town of Meriden. AGAIN ASKS CHANGE OF NAME.
 Another effort was made by the Hol- land Guarantee company in the Superi- or court, before Judge Case yesterday, to change its name to the Peoples Bank & Trust company, and for the third time the matter was put over. This time, however, ruling will be made on the application by the court after the papers have been looked over.
 There was g show of some feeling between the counsel for the Holland company, Attorneys Hincks, Asher and Hewitt, and Attorney George M. Gum, appearing for the New Haven Clearing House association, which opposes the granting of the application. Spirited arguments were made on both sides.
