Headache

Like many other human ailments have
been wrongly diagnosed and alto
gether misunderstood. The headache
itself is not the thing to treat, for the
reason that it is simply a symptom
and is wholly dependent on the &C.
ton of other organs. Not infrequent-
ly the direct cause of headache is due,
to an inactive liver. If you are troub-
ed much with headaches, then try
tried and true liver medicine that
sets that organ right; one package is
medicine for the whole family. Price
25c each. By mail to any address csc.

when a child awakes in the night
with a dry, hoarse cough, which moth

 gation of Manner in Which Utilities Bill Was Defeated.
Especial from United Press.)

Hartford, Aug. 12.-Mayor Dunn of Willimantic raised a considerable rip pie in the House at the beginning of today's session by following a resolu- tion of acceptance of the invitation of Speaker Banks to attend the theatre with resolution providing for an in- vestigation for alleged irregularities in connection with the public utilities bill last Thursday. His resolution stated that lobbyists were permitted to pursue their quest Ion the floor while the House was in session de- spite the protests of members" and referred to other charges originating att the time and provided for a com mittee of nine members to be divided as nearly equal as possible between the supporters of; the Barnum and Chandler Whiton bill to. inquire into the said charges and make such fur ther investigation of the lobby as may seem to be in the public interest. The House again finally indefinitely post poned the Dunn resolution.

NOVEL REQUEST
 MADE IN WILL Late Deacon Sterling Leaves Balance In Benevolent
 Fund" to Charity ESTATE IS WORTH MUCH

In his will, filed in probate court to- day, the late Deacon Edward Sterling leaves to charity such sum as remains in the part of his estate set aside for benefactions during his life time The names of the societies to benefit are in a paper which is in the hands of the executor of the will, who is Ed ward W. Marsh.
 Deacon Sterling was noted for his systematic, liberal gifts to charitable causes Like his father before him, it was his habit to set aside a certain portion of his income for benevolent the father was ten per cent of his in come The giving of Deacon Sterling was so quietly conducted and so un- ostentatiously managed that perhaps not his closest friends know how large his donations were. But that they were large is certain.
 The will was made in 1902 and was drawn by the late Curtis Thompson There is a codicil by which the life use of a half house owned by the testa- tor at Lafayette and State streets is given to the wife in addition to her share of the estate as designated in the preceding portion of the instru- ment.
 The bequeSt for charities reads as follows:
 "That if a balance is found to the credit of my benevolent fund, so call ed and kept separate from my other property by me, such balance shall be taken and distributed by my executor to such societies and persons as shall designate in a memorandum left by me for that purpose, and Il give the same to such societies and persons in the manner so named the sums so de- signated absolutely"
 The furniture and household effects are willed to his widow, Rebecca A. Sterling She receives one fourth of the estate, real and personal. The re- mainder is given. three sixteenths to each of his children, Mrs. Jennie H. Van TasseI, Mrs. Emma R. Carter, and Mrs Alice B. Cook.
 Three sixteenths is left for the use and benefit of his grandchildren, Ethel Rebecca Sterling and Caroline Eliza beth, the daughters of his deceased son, George B. Sterling. in trust until May 16, 1912, when the youngest be- comes of age and the property be- comes theirs absolutely.
 Samuel F. Beardsley and Willis H. Lyon were to-day appointed appraisers of the estate.

AUTOIST FINED;
 HAD NO COUNSEL Therefore Court Had No Chance to Construe Deli cate Point in Automobile Law.

Richard J. Casey. of Long Branch, was arrested Monday for speeding on Fairfield avenue and was to-day fined $1O and costs The prosecution regret ted that the defendant was not rep resented by counsel so that a. question of evidence might be brought to the courts attention in such a manner as to have a decision given. The point in question is the statement in the statute that a machine driven at a rate above, 9 miles an hour is prima facie evidence that the speed is un- reasonable and improper. The prose cutor wiN most likely hereafter mere 1y substantiate it's case by the testi- mony of the officers in regard to the speed of the machine only. The de- fence has the privilege of calling the officers as their own witnesses and of examining them in regard to the traf- fife and the condition and use of the thoroughfare.

FIFTH WIFE HAS
 TROUBLES, ALSO But Bedding Woman Will Cling Tightly to the Few Thousands She Has Left NEWS OF AUTHOR TOWN

Bedding, Aug. 12.-Attorney Caleb A. Burgess did not appear before the probate court Saturday last to be heard on the acceptance of his account as guardian of his 21 year old daughter Edith. which ac- count included claim of $500 against her. Subsequently he presented a written notice withdrawing the appli- cation he had made Judge Nickerson told him there had been incurred costs of $S for fees and advertising. This Burgess flatly refused to pay. The principal item in his bill against his daughter is for $125 he advanced to pay off mortgage on the house at the Center which he and his wife bought and placed in the, daughters s name when she was two years old. the conditions of the trust being that the parents should have the use of the property until Edith had reached the age of 21. So far she has made no move to obtain possession of the prop erty. In the way Of her fathers claim is one of over $3,000 made by Edith's aunt, Mary Burgess. who has furnish ed the child with support and educa- tion. The notice of the aunt's claim is protection of the young woman. The house in question is now occupied by Burgess and his fifth wife,. The latter is now seeking advice as to whether

He drew out the whole amount and it went somewhere be- yond his wife's ken or recall Another bank book with a credit of $500 went the same way. Subsequently Burgess took from a store house and sold for $50 a piano for which his wife paid $750. In this as in the other trans actions there was nothing in it for Mrs. Burgess. Furthermore she says that she has to pay his rent for a law office in New York and smother in Long Island City and that on the oc- casions of his weekly visits to this town she usually provides the money for his return transportation. She still possesses $6.000 or $7.O00 and professes her determination to cling to it but seemingly doubts her ability to do SO She sets forth further grievance in the insulting language addressed to her by Charles Burgess her husbands son. The father is also indignant over the young mans conduct and has written a letter to a justice of the peace in sj which he demands that Charles be arrested and punished.

Senator Peck of Danbury, Makes Eloquent Plea for Repeal, Easing His Argu- ment on Humanitarian Grounds-Se Senator Chase Opposes = Senators Ar mold and Manwaring Vote for Repeal-Absence of Senator Holzer Prevents Tie Vote and Insures Vic tory for People.
Ry our Staff Correspondent


 Hartford, Aug. 12.-By a vote of IA to 1s the Senate today killed the bill providing for the removal of the limi- tation of $5,0o0 as the largest sum that a jury may award for the death of a person killed by the fault of another.
 This is considered one of the most important measures before the pres ent Legislature. It was defeated when 1t came before the Senate originally, and was passed in the House by an overwhelming vote- It came back to the Senate today where Senator Chase. Hepublican, of Waterbury. in an e1ab- crate explanation, moved that the Senate adhere to it's original action, which would kill the bill. Senator Tenn, Republican, of Hartford, amend ed that the Senate recede and concur with tho House in passing the bill. The first vote taken was upon this amendment. Senator Chase endeav- ored to have a parliamentary ruling to the effect that the amendment was mot in order, but did not succeed. Able arguments in favor of such bill were advanced by Senators Peck of Danbury and Luther of Hartford
 Senator Peck, who is himself 2 man. ufacturer, said he favored the bill be- cause it was just one He termed the arguments in opposition as a re- Election upon our jury system And

Hartford Aug. 12-Governor Weeks today sent to the state Senate his veto of the Sunday law, passed by the legislature several weeks ago. The Senate reconsidered its action in pas sing the bill and made it the order of the day for next Tuesday. The Governors reasons for vetoing the bill are as follows:
 sIn accordance with religious sane tion and by reason of the plain conn mon sense of the matter the over wheln1ing weight of public opinion in the state has from the earliest times upheld a setting apart of one day in the week upon which the ordinary course of daily life is to be laid aside, the people resting on that day from all unnecessary labor and abstaining amusement. Such qualifications as this opinion has undergone from time to time have worked but little change
 in the legal status of the day. Lat demand has arisen in certain quarters for iberaizing the day and permit ting sports and amusements which are engaged in purely for the health kand enjoyment of the participants and not for gain
 Closely connected with this demand is a movement for more accurately de- fning the extent to which necessary
