Mr.. wakeley ordered a special coach

WATER SHUT OFF.
A Number of Test Cases Are Being
Brought.

Here in New Haven, says The I'm
ion, the water can be shut off~from
houses where the water bill remains
unpaid. In Waterbury a fight is on
against such action. Today in that
city members of the Real Estate Deal
ers' association will appear before a
judge of the superior court and ask
an injunction restraining the city of
Waterbury from cutting off the water
from any consumers who are In ar
rears in their rents.
A prominent member of the associ-
alton said today: 1.-The order of May
or Thoms is an attempt to place US
in false light. We are ready to COM
promise and he is not. Before many
hours we hope to have an injunction
in force. 1t is amusing to see his
attempt at bravery. That old injunc-
ton has been of no value for two
years.
las the situation now stands May
or Thoms has ordered Supt. Of Water
William E. Kennedy to shut off the
water of all consumers who are in
arrears on water rents on April 10.
Mayor Thoms, with all his bravery.
viii not take the matter into the courts
for he knows we would be highly
pleased if he would do so. He has
always claimed the old bills should
be paid at the old rates and yet 1t
was upon his express recommendation
that the unfair rates were changed to

BRIDGEPORT PATRoLMEN
Get $500 as Result of Recent Suit.

There was distributed to Bridgeport
patrolmen over $500 Tuesday after
noon, which was back pay due them
for year, and is the result Of their
legal victory over the board of APP
portionment, says thS>Bridgeport Tele-
gram. The men marched into Clerk
Smiths room with an outstretched
hand and a smile, and took what was
handed to to them. minus the 10 per
cent. deduction for attorneys fees.
By taking their case to court and
refusing to resign, as did the officers
the patrolnen win decided victory
over the officers Of the department. II
will be recalled that the increased pay
of the men went into effect in April
1908. BY the actiep of the board OF
apportionment and the legal obstacle
that the commissioners encountered
the entire force was denied the in
crease.
The officers of the department, in
Guiding the superintendent, the cap
tain, the lieutenants and sergeants, all
rendered their designations last De-
cenber and were Immediately reap
pointed to their old positions. This is
how they evaded the charter clause
and became entitled to the increased
salary. The patrolmen had no char
ter clause to evade, but took theil
case to the court and won out. BY
this action they get a full years pay
The officers, who had their pay in
creased at the same time as did the
patrolmen, have only enjoyed their in
crease for the past four months.

ALLEGED HARMONY
is SAID NOT TO EXIST
In Connection With Hearings on Pub
lie Utilities Commission.


Hartford, April SIT is notewor-
thy fact in connection with hearings
on the public utilities commission
measure which was introduced at the
instance of the present commission that
not a member of that commission has
appeared in favor of the bill. The sec
rehary of the commission, Mr.. Wells,
has conducted the case for the measure,
and it was assumed that the men who
drafted the bill favored it, but making
the fight for it has been left to the
paid secretary of the\ commission.

has N ade no secret of the fact that he
has done his duty and washed his
hands of the matter. He has even said
to members Of the legislature that he

shouldn't ask any member to vote for
it,
There IS little more evidence regard
ing the matter to be heard by the ju-
dietary committee, and the arguments
will be made by the middle Of next
week. but it is not thought that a re-

time yet. as the committee desires to
go over the subject thoroughly in exec

expect however. that it will report in

There is no doubt but the best NOR
al sense of Westerly is against the
wrestling and boxing bouts that have
been permitted just over the river in
the village of Pawcatuck in the town
Of Stonington, although these sport
ing exhibitions have been conducted
as orderly as possible and attended
by many reputable citizens.
So far as known, no objections to
them have been filed by the citizens
of PaWcatuck, but the ministers of
Westerly have taken the matter up
with the selectmen of Stonington by
the presentation OF a formal protest
against these sporting events, on the
ground that they tend to depravity of
morals and therefore are not conduc-
i've to the general good Of the COM
munity of which Westerly is a part,
although located in another state.
1t is a peculiar fact that there is
not a resident minister in Pawcatuck
and that the signers Of the protest
are Westerly, Rhode Island. citizens,
and just what effect the efforts of
westerly people to regulate the affairs
Of another town and in another state
will have with the selectmen of Ston-
ington is problematical.
While Westerly and Pawcatuck are
practically considered as one commu-
nifty, receiving the same postoffice ser
vice, still they are under different
state and town governments, and there
are people on both sides of the Paw
catuck river who take advantage of
the situation, both from a social and
business standpoint. and not unfre-
quently for criminal convenience.
Both places do not always work in
harmony and town lines are OCCASION
ally drawn very tight. There was not
so very long ago a vigorous kick made
almost bordering on a public investi-
cation, to ascertain who gave the Gro--
ton-Stonington trolley road authority
to attach a trolley guy wire to a post
that stood a few feet within Rhode
Island territory
Later proposition from the select
men Of the town of Stonington to
pave the union bridge in Broad street
with vitrified brick was turned down
by the Westerly town council, which
voted to do nothing in that resnect
until it was definitely decided whether
the trolley road was to be permitted
to enter Rhode Island. and that even
then granite blocks would be used on

Attempts Being Made to Reach Class

The fact that the people having the
largest number Of children who are
being educated in the public schools of
Shelton pay absolutely nothing for the
support OF these schools has caused
many Of the taxpayers to endeavor to
attempt to secure the passage of some
law that will reach these people.

Although active in legal battle for
more than eight months, John V. Well
ford, chauffeur for McCrea, the Pitts
burg millionaire and Watch Hill sum-
mer resident, must surrender and SUD
NIT to the penalty imposed upon him.
Wexford took exceptions in the case
brought against him for recklessly
running an automobile on the Watch
Hill road on the night of August l
last. The exceptions have been over
ruled in an opinion Of the Rhode Is
land superior court, handed down by
Chief Justice Dubois, Wednesday, and
the case was remanded to the superior
court for sentence. That court had
imposed a penalty of $500 and costs,
and appeal was taken to the supreme
court on bill of exceptions.
The complaint against Wexford
charged that he carelessly ran his
automobile into an express wagon in
which was Frank Collins, and that the
mans life was endangered. He filed
demurrer to the complaint, which was
overruled and he was found guilty in
the Third district court, Westerly. On
appeal to the superior court the de-
PENDANTS demurrer to the first count
of the complaint was Overruled and
sustained as to the second count. In its
opinion the supreme court refers to
sections IL and II of public laws,
chapter 1862, and says:
1T is the duty Of operators of mo-
tor vehicles to obey the laws regulat-
ing the use of such vehicles. Disre-
gard of or inattention to such duty
constitutes unlawfulness and reckless
ness. The words 'unlawfully' and
reckIessly' in the complaint are de-
scriptive of the manner in which the
defendant drove the motor vehicle into
and against the team driven by the
complainant in the highway SO as to
endanger his life and limbs. They neg
alive any inference that the collision
was an innocent accident. The facts
stated in the count do constitute the
offence of operating a motor vehicle
on a public highway of the state so
as to endanger the life and limbs of
The demurrer was prop
erIy overruled and the exception is
without merit.
