MRS. JULIA WATT MORRIS
 CURTISS LOSES ON APPEAL
New York Appellate Court Declines to Ap point New Lunacy Commission and De-
 cIares That Remedy of Plaintiff
 Must be in Connecticut Courts.

A few weeks ago Julia Morris Watts Curtiss, Fairfield, brought an action in New York before the courts, claiming that if she could have a trial by jury she would prove to its satisfaction that she is capable of managing her own fortune. This court gave a decision in her favor. The case was appealed to the Appellate Court, and yesterday Judge E. s. Banks, one of the conservators for Mrs. Curtiss, received a telegram to the effect that the upper court had reversed the de- cis1on of the lower court, denying the appellants right to have a jury trial for the purpose specified. One ground for the reversal of the lower court was that Mrs. Curtiss is not a legal resident of New York, and if she wishes to pursue the matter further must bring an action in Fairfield county.
 Mrs. Curt1ss was declared fncompe- tent in this State in 1907 on the ground of intenaperance and mental derange- ment. ConservatorS of her property and a committee of her person have been in control since that time. She has been involved in almost continuous litigation in an effort to gain control,

and while she has got favorable de- c1sions in the lower court twice they have been reversed in the Appellate Division.
 Justice Clarke of New York. writing the decision yesterday. declares that the provision for the appointment of a. lunacy commission such as Mrs: Cur tiss now asks for applies solely to proceedings taken for the appointment of a committee in the first instance. No such proceedings are authorized where a committee has already been appointed and the incompetent claims to have recovered The objection to the order appealed from goes even deeper, because the Appellate Division has already determined that the Con hectfcut court had full Jurisdiction and it's order is entitled to full faith and credit and is not to be attacked in a collateral proceeding in the courts of this State.
 ''The presence of Mrs Curtiss in this State is by leave given by the Con necttcut court for temporary purposes" says Justice Clarke. ''The respect due to the decrees of a, sister State. as well as our own previous decision re- quire the court to refuse to inquire whether that court was right or wrong in its original determination that Mrs. Curtiss was an incompetent"

My attention has been called to the fact that since our clean up day that many of the business men of town persist in throwing paper and other trash out in the front as well as the back of their places of business. Now this IS in open violation of an ordinance that was legally passed by the city council and it MUST be stopped. The city Marshal has been instructed to notify each and every person in this town to desist in throwing paper and other trash or rubbish in the streets or alleys of this town, and if they still persist in violat- ing the law in this matter, he shall report the same to me and I, as mayor of the town, will issue warrants for every such offender.
 It is for the protection of the health of our city that these laws were made and it is my duty to enforce them, therefore, if you do not obey them you can expect to pay the penalty or have the law repealed.
