NURSES WARNED.
Stamford Class Listen to Pointed Ref

Addressing the graduating class of

WANT A CHANGE IN
DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION
Possible That C.. w. Comstock May
Not Hold Office After September.

The call for a meeting of the DEM
ocratic state central committee for
next Thursday, June q by Secretary
Edwin s Thomas was in compliance
with the wishes of a ma ority of the
30 members of which the committee
is composed, says the New Haven
Register And these wishes were ex-
pressed in replies to queries sent out
as to what they thought of holding a
spring meeting for the comparison of
notes on the condition of the party
and perhaps outlining plan of cam
paign. Chairman Charles W. Com
stock approved the holding of the
meeting. Secretary Thomas says that
the responses he has received regard
ing the proposed meeting were very
enthusiastic. Almost in every case
the committeeman saw a fine chance
for the party in the state this year.
The concrete idea in all the cOrrespOn-
dence was that the party should be-
gin organization and leave no stone
unturne1 to secure victory this year.
Mr.. Thomas said that the question of
officers would probably not be dis
cussed. but he was not absolutely GER
elected at the party state convention
for two years and therefore Messrs.
Comstoc4x and Thomas have until next
September to serve
Regarding the Craftsmanship. it is
known that many of the committee
meo desire a change They were not
exuberant in their approval of the
lneT in which the campaign of 1908
was conducted SO far as Chairman
tsolnstoch's part was concerned. The
fert is that the practical direction of
affairs was quietly taken out of his
hands then.
Mr.. Comstocz did not re-establish
himself in the confidence of the party
by his alleged action toward the pub
lie utilities bill which came up in the
legislature of 1909 The platform of
the democratic party had emphatically
committed itself to a public utilities
commission. Yet. while the fight was
at its height in the general assembly,
Mr.. Comstock was very much in evil
cseroe a the capital. and it was gen
orally understood and published at the
time that he was there helping to de-
IT measure.
This made leading democrats wroth
at the time Some publicly de-
clared that Comstock should be called
upon to resign. He has not done so,
and will probably remain at the head
of the committee until the next state
convention.

DECISION GIVEN IN
THE JENNINGS CASE
Plaintiff is Awarded Sum of $50
Notwithstanding on Bond May Be
Held-OVerruled Demurrer Favors
Compressed Air Company.

On Tuesd&s Judge Shumway hand
ed down several decisions, including
mes Jennings VS.. w. H. Jennings. In
his memorandum of decision Judge
ShumWay says issues are found for
the plaintiff and the defendant Is Or
dered to pay for the PLAINTIFFS support
$50 a month from and after August Is,
1909. Parties may be heard as to Or
dering defendant to give bond and its
amount.
This amount is trifle moro than
the plaintiff was receiving before the
bringing of the suit last summer, as
it was testified at the trial that her
board at IS week had been paid and
she had received in addition IS a
week. until she stopped asking for it
after July, 1903. She thought she
ought to have 500 a month. in her
testimony.
Judge Shumway also handed down
decision in the case of the town of
er company of this city. The plaintiff
entered a demurrer to several counts
of the defendants defense because the
defenses were in direct contravention
the state of Connecticut, which pro-
vides that all men when they form q
compact are equal in rights and that
no man or set of men are entitled to
exclusive public emoluments or privi-
leges from the community. The de-
murrer was argued recently and the
judge overruled the demurrer.
Judge Shumway also gave a decis-
ion for the plaintiff in the case of
Harnidas Couture VS.. Louis st. Onge,
giving judgment for foreclosing me-
chanics' lien, the amount of the claim
May 81. 1910, being s1,50s.67. The
time limit in which the defendant may
redeem is fixed as the first Monday in
October.
Alternative Writ of Mandamus.
A decision by Judge Greene dis
misses the alternative writ of Inanda-
mus asked in the Waterford school
board case. He holds that L. A Com
stock was not damaged by being de-
clared to be not a member of the
school board. and that he was not en-
titled to be elected to the office, as
he was not a resident of the town at
the time.

When you hear a man sneering
at the local paper because it is
not big. cheap and newsy as the
city papers, you can safely bet
he does not squander any of his
wealth in assisting to make it
better and that generally the pa
per has done more for him than
he has for it. The man who can
not see the benefits arising from
a local newspaper is about as
much value to a town as a de-
linquent tax list.
