IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
ELBR1DGE L, HOWE FILES
 BANKRUPTCY PETITION

Claim Against the City--Suit for sz,oOO
 Darnages-s3OO Left for Church-City
 Court Cases.
 Elbridge L. Howe, through his at- torney, Bernard E. Lynch, has filed a petition in bankruptcy, seeking to be relieved from the payment of debts that he may have incurred by his con- nection with the Howe & Stetson com pany. MT. Howe has been adjudi- cated bankrupt by Judge Platt in the United States court and the petition was yesterday sent to Henry G. New ton as referee for a hearing before MT. HoWe's creditors.
 The schedule of debts filed by MT. Howe show the total amount of Ha- Utilities to be $123, ,219.3O, itemized as follows: Claims unsecured, $23, ,9O4. .75; notes and bills to be paid by other parties thereto, $75,614.55, and accom- nlodation paper, $2S,70O
 MT. Howe in his petition represents that his assets amount to $515 and this Is shrinkable because of exemp- tions allowed under the law. The as- sets consist of household goods valued at $1S5, unliquidated claims $500 and clothing $30,
 There is put in the schedule of as- sets 7S0 shares of stock held by MT. Howe in the A. c. Stiles Metal com pany of this city, which it is repre- sented is of no value, and also 1,079 shares of stock in the Howe & stet- son company, which have no value now. The amount of MT. Howes lia- Utilities as they appear in the schedule is heavy by reason of the fact that MT. Howe was the indorser of the notes of the Howe & stetson company, the creditors of that concern having been paid 65 per cent. on their claims by Governor Rollin s. Woodruff, who was the receiver for the Howe & Stet- son company in the bankruptcy pro- ceedings.
 Mir. Howe put these claims against the Howe & Stetson company in his own schedule, believing that he might be held liable for the balance of the payments on the notes he endorsed, and in filing his personal petition in bankruptcy he asks to be relieved from the payment of all such debts that he may have assumed personal responsi- bility for by his connection with the Howe & Stetson company.
 Referee Newton has not fixed the time for meeting of MT. Howe's cred itors upon his petition for a discharge.

PRES MELLEN BEFORE
 LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE
Ccontinued from First Page.)

len said that the general assembly would be asked for authority on a number of matters He was asked if he would care to speak on the demur- rage law, and he replied that while it was not germaine to the bill he could concentrate in few minutes his views on the demurrage law. He said that the law looms up like sore thumb, and is the cause of much discrimination on the part of foreign roads against Connecticut. He spoke along this line and said that he did not come before the committee In quite the same posi- tion as he did two years ago, for the reason that the interstate commerce commission no doubt had power to give the road a measure of relief on de- .murrage as regards foreign cars de- sired by him. He would rather have Connecticut make its own laws on this matte..

DEFENDERS MONUMENT.
LEGISLATURE TO BE ASKED
 FOR $1O,OOO.

Interest i'm Project Growing and In-
 creasing-NIr. Blake Says Committee
 Has Raised S4,OOO-DedicatiOn July 4'
 Interest in the Defenders monu- ment plans is growing, and a much finer tribute than was first planned will be placed at the junction of Con- gress and Davenport avenues for those who resisted the British there in the war of the Revolution. Tuesday a bill was presented to the general assem- bly, that the state appropriate $lo'oOo to aid the fund that is being raised here for the project. Should the state vote the money the committee is un- der obligations, according to the terms of the resolution, to contribute $lOOOO more making the total expenditure of $20, 900 on the monument.
 Henry T. Blake of the committee stated yesterday that over $4,OOO had already been raised by thee commit tee, and he presumed that there would be no difficulty in getting the full SlO,- GOO. He explained that Attorney George M. Gum, representative in the house from Milford, was picked to present the bill because Milford patriots aided greatly in the resistance of the Brit ish at the time of the battle, on which ground the monument is to be raised MT. Blake is of the opinion that the battle is of state interest, and the whole state should aid in the cost ot the monument. Tn the Revolution, he points out, the battle at New Haven was as important to Connecticut as was Lexington and Bunker Hill to Massachusetts.
 For that reason he thinks that the appropriation asked for in the legisla- tllre ought to be passed. The Defend- ers' monument committee is working hard on the matter and have gone much further in the project than some people believe. The monument has ai- ready been ordered and the payment of it guaranteed by members of the com mittee. The public is familiar with the model, which was on exhibition here for some time.
 The figures of the group will be seven feet high. It is planned to ded- icate the monument July f. 1908.

 The afternoon juror, Henry L Klein- berger, milk merchant, forty-two years old and married, said he knew very little about the subject of in sanity and would have to be guided by the instructions of the court in arriv- ing at a conclusion on such a plea. His weighing of the facts in the case would be an intellectual process, he told District Attorney Jerome, and he did not think his judgment would be unduly swayed by sympathy or emo- tion.
 Thaw appeared confident as he arose to face each of the two jurors while they were being sworn. The manner in which his attorneys con- tinued to dwell upon the subject of in-

The cause of this tense condition Is in your stomach. Your food does not digest properly.
