JUDGMENT GIVEN TO
 MAYER FOR $36,666
Suit Was Foreclosure on Mortgage to Meet Cost of $45,OO Garage.

The foreclosure suit of John Maher, a building contractor of New York, against James s. Simmons, a wealthy land owner of Greenwich, was heard before Judge Howard J. Curtis in the civil Superior court, this morning. About two years ago Maher built. house and garage on property of the defendant in Greenwich, at a cost of about 45,000. The property included a number of acres of land which was valued at about $5,O00 per acre and much sought after by wealthy New York residents who desired a home in Greenwich. Ten years ago the same acre, but the advent of wealthy resi- dents boosted it.
 Maher and Simmons entered into an agreement whereby Maher was not to be paid for his work until the property was sold. In this event he was to receive a bonus of 5000. He was never paid nor did he receive the bonus. Considerable discussion arose as to the value of the property. MT. Simmons himself valued it at SIPS, 900, while Walter Lake, New York real estate dealer, gave his estimate of about $99,500 which he thought was very conservative. County Commits the owner of valuable shore property in Greenwich, thought the property was worth about $110,000. Helen Jouff- lon of Stamford, the stenOgrapher for Maher, said that she had overheard the conversation between Maher and Sim mons in regard to the bonus, to which Simmons at first disagreed as he wards agreed to.
 Judge Curtis allowed the plaintiff $36, ,6eS.85 and gave the defendant until Dec. 1, 1909. to settle.

NO DIVORCE FOR
 PRETTY NURSE
Judge Curtis Returns Pa pers Without Approving or Disappearing.

The divorce action of Jean E. Wood, a, pretty young nurse of Stamford against her husband, Frederick F. Wood, a young cotton broker of New York, brought on the. grounds of cruel ty and heard before Judge Howard J. Curtis in the Superior court, and held up that time for more evidence has been placed among the files for future reference. At the time of the mar riage Mrs. Wood was a nurse in the Stamford Hospital Here she met young Wood. He invited her to attend the theatre in New York city. After the theatre a supper was enjoyed, dur ing which Wood proposed and was ac- cepted. They were married the same night, Mrs. Wood returning to her duties in Stamford letting no one in on her secret. Wood did not find very much time to make Stamford, but when he did they met on the streets by appointment. Their travels among the streets of Stamford were not as among beds of roses, ouarrels often arising. One evening he called her a vile name. She retaliated by striking him on the face. There was still come back for him. he discolored both her optics. In her evidence be- fore the court Mrs. Wood said that she did not live with her husband be- cause she did not love him. For this reason the suit was held up, though she may have had grounds for divorce on the cruelty charge.

.BULKELEY BLOCKS
 VOTE IN SENATE

washington, July 2.-The Senate was right on the point of reaching an agreement yesterday to take a vote on the pending corporation tax amend ment next Tuesday, but SenatoF Bulke- ley of Connecticut Queered the whole business. Unanimous consent was re- quired to carry the proposed agree ment into effect. Everybory in the Senate, supporters as well as foes of the corporation tax, appeared to be willing to accept the proposition for vote next Tuesday, when Senator Bulkeley obtected.
 MT. Bull1eley lives in Hartford, where President Taft is to be on Tues day. Just because MT. Bulkeley want ed to be in Hartford at the same time to help welcome the President and wasn't willing to have the corporation amendment brought up for action un- less he was there to vote on it, MT. Bulkeley declined to sanction the suggestion which every other Senator wanted to see adopted. But as things turned out as a result Of MT. Rulke- ley's objection a vote on the income tax may be obtained before next Tues day. After the Senate adjourned in the afternoon Senators got together and a virtual agreement was reached to have vote today. Very few Sena- tors care to speak on the corporation tax proposition the weather is so hot, and the prevailing feeling is that the sooner this legislative waif is out of the way the better for all concerned.

JUDGE KANE ADVISED NOT TO
 BOTHER WITH PAUPER'S COMPLAINTS

Judge Patrick Kane suggested to his fellow commissioners of the board of charities, at the board meeting, last night, that the office of purchasing agent be abolished, and that the board return to its former custom of direct ing purchase as a body. No action was taken upon the proposal The Electrical Enginee1in ing and Storage Battery Company was awarded a con tract to increase the electrical plant at Lakeview Home. The cost will be $990
 Mrs. Josephine J. Fitzgerald is a shut tlecook between the board of health and the charities board. She nursed a child i'll with diphtheria which was ordered from one of the city hospitals to the Isolation hospital. and earned $64-30, which she cannot get because of a dispute between the boards as to which should pay it. Last night she was sent back to the Health board. A rule was made requiring outside doc tors to file monthly reports. Judge Kane said that he had received a com p1aint from Marcus Griffin, an inmate Of Lakeview home. relative to the treatment he had received. Other members of the board advised Judge Kane not to bother with complaints. They said he would be swamped with them if he did. g

THE ROWLAND DRY GOODS co.
The Dead of the Sea.

An inqufsitive Frenchman has thought 1t worth while to ask what be- comes of the bodies after death of the numberless fish and other living crea- lures that fill the sea. Of course they. all die, sooner or later, and yet it is an occurrence so rare as to be practicaSc unknown for anybody who lives beside or on the ocean to come across the Ire mains" of even a single victim Of the fate that awaits all things mortal. In the profounder depths putrefaction can not take place, so if the dead fish once reaches those calm, chill abysses he would be preserved until the end of time. Probably. however, no such peaceful repose awaits more than an infnitesimally small proportion of the fnny folk, and no great accumulation of lifeless bodies exists at the bottom of the sea. The living eat the dead be- fore they can make the long, slow Journey downward. As a matter of fact, extremely few fish, and perhaps none, ever meet what is known as a natural death.'' Almost always they are slain and devoured and so put definitely out of the way.

WALL STREET TO-DAY.

Special from United Press.l
 New York, July 2.-There was a de- cided change for the better in the prices of railroad stocks and leading industrials at the opening of the stock market this morning and substantial gains were made in the first fifteen minutes. Union and Southern Pacific rose E and the Erie stocks scored gen. eral gains. Reading was persistently bought at and above 157 and the in dustrials generally ranged higher. e II a. m.-The market was full of buying orders at the opening. Many stocks made substantial advances but the strong tone of the market was partially offset by weakness in the traction shares. Third Avenue lost three points and the Inter-Metropoli- tan stocks and bonds yielded under liberal selling. Western Maryland was also weak declining over two points.
 Government bonds unchanged; other bonds strong.
 Noon.-After the first hour the trading was almost indicative of a holiday character, there being no movements worth noting. At midday the local fractions improved with Inter-Metropol- itan reaching a range slightly above yesterdays close while Third avenue recovered a small part of it's early loss. The railroad list generally showed a firm tone,S holding slightly above yesterdays close.

Echo of Slander Suit

 want of the money to pay the tudg- ment was sent to jail last November was before Judge Curtis in the Su- perior Court this morning with her at- torney, John F. Gray. About last Thanksgiving Susie Keousky was ar- rested for stealing dishes from the Arcade Hotel. In the City Court she was fined and paid up. Katie met her later and called her a thief. For this Susie had Katie arrested on a islander suit. The suit was argued on the ground that 1t was the truth, but was lost and Katie was commanded by Jus tice Alexander l.. Delaney to pay Susie $50 and costs. She was sent to
 jail for want of payment, but through her attorney got out on bonds in about a week. The case was continued till
