ASKS BIG DAMAGES
Annie Alderman Sues City Be, cause She Couldn't
 Build.

In the civil side of the superior court yesterday afternoon was heard the case of Annie Alderman against the city, in which the plaintiff asks about $9,0OO to $1O,OOO damages be- cause she was restrained by the city from building tenement house on Cedar street. It appears that there is a sewer built on private land at this place, and that the city would not al- low Annie Alderman to build over this sewer, as she planned to do She claims that she is damaged to the amount named through loss of rents from the building which she intended to build and through the carting and subsequent deterioration of lumber brought to be used in the construc- tion.
 The defense of the city is that the sewer existed before the present owner bought the property with the consent of the previous owner, and that 1t was bought subject to the existing condi- tions. The case was not quite finished yesterday afternoon.

First Reports of Earthquake in Asia Greatly Fix
 aggerated.

Tashkend, Russian Turkestan, Oct. 3O.-The little town of Karatagh. in the Hissar district of Bokhara, has been overwhelmed and completely upset by the disaster which has resulted from the landslide caused by the earthquake of Oct. 21. According to the latest re- ports of the disaster a majority of the inhabitants of Karatagh lost their lives.
 The first report of the casualties were exaggerated, the death list be- ing placed as high as 15,OOO. Karatagh has about 2,5OO dwellers, and there is reason to believe that about 1,5OO were buried alive, Among those who sur vived the disaster are the governor of Karatagh and his mother.
 Karatagh is remotely situated, but according to one courier who has come through an enormous section of the Karatagh mountain, which practically i hung over the town, broke loose and thundered down upon the village,

 Charles K. Bush presented the com. mittee's report. In introducing it ht explained that their figures were mere suggestions and it was for the voters to decide just what amounts would ht appropriated. In the main the commit tee had found the selectmens previou! suggestions conservative. However, the committee had taken into consideration that the selectmen had not counted ,wt probable sources of revenue:
 First, That the grand list had so in creased that $2,40O more taxes would b, collected next year than last.
 Second, That some of next years ta7 estimated 5000, would be paid in earl! enough to be available during the en Iisuing year. This would increase th' estimated income to $76,6691O.
 With that income and an eight-mil ! tax rate In view, and going on tn principle that it was better to increas the debt than the tax list of expend itures had been estimated. The schoo committee and school visitors had beel interviewed and 1t was found that tn ] seleotmens figures for the school $31, ts725 were as low as possible, also tn one of $2,000 for text books. It ha been found that reduction of $6 60 could be made by reducing the high way appropriation to s9,O00, a cuttin down of $1,o0O; the state highway ap propriation to $2,50O; a reduction of like sum; the patrol appropriation t

 AID TO BANKS Comptroller of Currency Will Facilitate Increase of Note Circula-

OTHER BONDS
 FOR GOVERNMENTS
They May be Substituted as a Basis for Fur ther Federal De-
 posits.

washington, Oct 9O.-Comptroller of the Currency Ridgely to-day issued an important official statement which says:
 "The comptroller's office will in every proper way facilitate the imme- diate increase of national bank note cir culation. With this end in view all such national banks asAhave govern ment bonds in the hands of the treas- urer of the United States to secure de- posits, and also have any available capacity for increased circulation, will be allowed to substitute other bonds satisfactory to the secretary of the treasury, as basis for government deposits, provided the government bonds thus released are used to in- crease circulation.
 ''This rule will apply not only where the bank transferring the bonds from the deposit account to the circulation account takes out the additional cir culating notes, but also where an ar rangement can be made for any other national bank having capacity for in creased circulation, to take out the ad- dltiona' notes.
 National banks are urged to take this question up immediately with the department by telegraph, and take out the additional circulation as rapidly a: possible. The comptroller's office vii be glad to furnish whatever informa, tion is needed in regard to circulation printed and on hand, and bonds avail able for this purpose"

NO ACTION ON
 STOCK ISSUE New Haven Road Directors Failed to Reach Decision
 at Yesterdays
 Meeting. UNIQUE SITUATION COM E Matter of Issue at 100 or 125 a Share Not to be De-
 cided Until Novem-
 Der Eighth.
SELLING OF THE RIGHTS
An Unprecedented Tangle That May Result in Appeals to Courts Bulkeley Hits
 Mellen's Policy.

The New York, New Haven 6 Hart ford railroad directors yesterday af- ternoon postponed for special consid- eration at the meeting on Nov. 8 the question of whether the new stock, to be issued by the company, shall be put out at $125 or $1OO share, and also the question whether 431 ,219 shares shall be issued instead of the S54.6s5 proposed in the advertised notice and which was considered at yesterdays meeting of the stockholders.
 This stock issue creates a very unique situation. Originally major- ity of the directors voted to issue the new stock at 1OO but subsequently, re- scinded the vote and decided to issue the stock at 125. Since then the whole stock market has fallen, including New Haven shares, and the company is faced by the dilemma either of seeing the stock possibly fall to point where stockholders would not subscribe or Of holding to the official announcement lin the annual report that the stock would be issued at 125. If the stocl1-H holders do not take up the stock the whole plan fails unless the stock is unaerwritten
 Meanwhile a considerable number of the rights changed hands by personal contracts with brokers and others at a price usually between $2 and $3 right which is considerably less than the rights would be worth if the stock is issued at 100. A question has arisen and is much discussed as to the legal 1 ity of the delivery of rights under these conditions Brokers who have bought the rights for delivery will in sist that they be turned in for deliv- cry to the buyers and sellers upon the other hand may refuse to deliver them. In the case of brokers who are mems l bers of the New York stock exchange it Is possible that this singular situa- tion may call for a stock exchange ruling
