FELL FROM CAR
John RIccsIdi Seriously Inigred WhiIe
 AIighdng From Car To-Day.

John Riccardi. aged about 65. while attempting to alight from a car this noon on Baldwin street, was thrown to the ground and injured tt such an extent that the accident may result fatally.
 Riccardi was on one of the car on which there was the usual noon. day crush and in his eagerness to jump of, so 1t is said, did not wal until the car had come to halt As the car between Martin and Pleasant streets travels slowly the passenger evidently thought he could make the step without going to the ground. As he let go of the car he stumbled and took a bad fall. He w carried into Phelan's grocery stor in an unconscious condition and le ter taken to his home at 40 Ridge street where Dr McLarney treated him. He found two bad gashes on the back of the mans head besides sey. eral abrasions. The doctor thinks that the injuries may prove serious because of the mans age.

COURT BUSINESS
Suit d Johanna Kelly Again Decided
 Against Defendant

At short calendar in the superior court to-day Judge Case heard mo- tion by Attorney John F. McGrath for the payment of the usual reward of $100 to the informant who gives information leading to the conviction of a horse thief. In this matter Charles R. Bebee of Bradleyville was the informant and the other party was William Stcnson, while the horse that was taken belonged to Mrs Bridget Kelley of Town Plot. Bebee claimed to have telephoned the infor- nation to the detective bureau and Detective William r. Keegan arrest ell Stenson. Judge Case withheld de cision.
 The suit of Johanna Kelly against Court Richard Phelan, F. of A. has again been decided for the defendant. Attorney Carmody, counsel for the plaintiff moved that the case be open ed on the grounds of the decision of the supreme court of errors. Judge Peasley heard the motion and yester- day he decided that the decision of the supreme court was final, and ac- cordingly he denied the motion.
 Attorney Carmody however, was lilckier in the case of Mrs Mary Gil- bert against her son-in-law, Morris R0senblatt for the recovery of $100. In this case the defendant contended that he received the amount claimed but it was given to him in pursuance of an old Hebrew custom. by which bride gives her dowry to her hus-- band. Mrs Gilbert held that the mon- ey was given for no such purpose but was loaned on business matter to Rosenblatt. Judgment for the full amount claimed was givai the plain tiff.

CeuTt PheIan May niye te Place Ills Name on the Books Again

F. Fl. McKiernan, who was ex- pelled from Court Phelan, K. of A. has made application for re-instate- ment on the ground that his expulsion was arbitrary and not warranted ac- cording to the rules of the order, which states that member convict cd of n felony may be expelled. It is understood that the court acted un- der instruction from District Deputy I.aughlin of Naugatyck, but It ap- pears that the deputy was in error, the offense with which Mir McKier- nan was charged in the insurance mater being classed as misde- meanor and not a felony. X prOml- nent attorney told Democrat re- porter that be believes the society will be obliged to take Mir McKier- nan back because his offense was nothing more than common law case and that so far as he knew q member could not be expelled for that. The papers were submitted to the court last night by Deputy E. F. Ri0rdan. and while the members manifested disposition to refuse the applicant q hearing. Mir Riordan as- sured them that they had no option in the premises. The matter was talked of to-day among members of the order and it seemed to be pretty generally believed that the court will have to put Mir McKiernan's name back on the list of members. Some think that he let the thing run too long before taking exception to the action of the court, but others con tend that this is not so Another yer sion of the case is that in any case McKiernan could not have been legal Iy expelled without being cited to be heard before proper tribunal. act ing for and by order of the society.

FEES SHOULD GO TO STATE.
Superior Court Clerks Should Not
 Retain Them.

Hartford. Dec 7.--In com pliance with request from George A. Conant, clerk of the su- perior court for this county, as to the duty of the clerk regarding feeo received for naturalizing aliens. At torney General William A. King yes terday gave an opinion to the effect that one-half of the fees received which does not go to the government should go to the state.
 The attorney general Says that in his opinion 1t was, not the intention of congress to partially nullify the law of the state providing that all fees coming to the clerk shall be paid to the state. The act authorizes the clerk to retain half the fees, but this may easily mean that he retains them as against the United States, not necessarily as against the state, which in creating the office of clerk provides that he shall be paid by selary in full for all services. Tha lark collects all the fees, but ac- flatH to the United States govern
 mi for only one-half thereof. The
 eFsl government has no concern
 10 the other half of the fees. so 4Rg as the work is done, and suiii
 eCs clerical assistance provided. ,. clerk, although performing fed cal functions. is still acting as tho tefl; of a state court, and the state psys him fin full for all services re- Ili,ed by law"
 The opinion also contains the fol- lowing.
 therefore advise you that, In my opinion, while you retain the stated proportion of the fees, so far as your accounting with the United States is concerned. 1t is your duty. because of the existence of the state law placing you on a salary basis, to pay to tho state one-half the fees which you so collect under the act of congress.
 The act of congress apparently makes it the duty of the clerk to pay. for additional clerical expense out of the fees retained. Whether the clerk pays for the assistance and the state receives the balance of the fees. O whether the state receives one-half the fees and itself pays the expense of additional assistance. is matter of clerical detail. The former coursa is technically correct. but the latter Is in keeping with the policy of the state as set forth in the clerks sal ary act. I advise you that the latter course. if adopted by you. would com- ply with the law.
 It is apparent that the act of con- gress places on the superior court greatly increased labor. by reason of the fact that courts of common pleas no longer have jurisdiction over nat uralization, and because of the mass of clerical detail provided for in the act. fn this condition of affairs the clerks of the superior court are en- titled to judicial deteyminat'on as to their compensation under the act.
 The comptroller will be advised ir, accordance with this opinion. and will demand that the fees in question be paid to the state in accordance there with.
 The clerks of the court are not bound by the opinion of the attorney general. and. as suggested above may properly ask to have this ques- ton determined by the courts. i1 which event the comptroller would undoubtedly uniie with you in taking the question to the court for authori- tative decision.

OFFER TO ARBlTRATE.
Miners Willing to Let Cancellation
Board Settle Trouble.

New York, April g. Having failed
to come to an agreement themselves.
the hard coal miners of Pennsylvania,
through their representatives, today
proposed to the operators tina. all mat
ters in dispute be referred to board of
arbitration for settlement, the tribunal
to be composed of the board of concili-
alton which was created by the award
of the Anthracite Strike commission in
1908, with Judge Gray, of Delaware. or
any person he may appoint, as chair.
man and umpire. Of the operators &C
cept the proposition and a convention
of mineworkers approves the plan, the
100000 men now idle in the anthra-
cite fields will return to work at once.
While it had been reported for several
days that the miners might ask that
the differences be arbitrated, the prop
osition came to them as great sur
prise, as they did not believe the union
leaders were ready to leave the contro-
,ersy to third party at this time.
That the operators will accept the
miners proposal as submitted is not
generally believed; in fact, it ia init
mated they may fatty refuse ths offer,
on the ground that existing conditions
are the result of arbitration. The en-
ployers have decided to consider the
miners latest move and promise to
give President Mitchell and HE men an
answer on Monday, when another
meeting of the two subcommittee will
be held in this city.
The anthracite board of Cancellation
consists of six members - three repre-
senting the operators and three the
miners. This board held frequent SEES
sions during the last three years,
settling local disputes in the anthracite
region. The award of the strike COM
mission provided that, when it could
not agree, a Federal judge in the Thia
