ASK COURT TO VOID
 SECOND MORTGAGE

Alleging that McElroy Bros. gave a second mortgage on their Water street property with intent to defraud the holders of the first mortgage, Stiles E. Goodsell and Florence N. Anderson have brought suit against McElroy Bros. and Joseph A. McElroy of Nor walk The plaintiffs, who are trus- tees on the estate of Charles H. Flaw ley, ask the Superior court to declare the second mortgage, held by Joseph A. McElroy, to be subsequent to theirs.
 It is claimed that on January P, 1904, McElroy Bros. gave their note for $5,0O0 to Charles H. Hawley. As security they mortgaged to him the property bounded on the north by Gold street, on the south by the rail- road and the west by Water street. It is alleged that the defendants ask ed Hawley not to record the mortgage because it would injure the credit of the company In consideration of this they agreed that no lien or mortgage should take precedence over HawIey's.
 On February 21, 1911, the defendants gave mortgage on the property in rector in the company, to secure a note for $67, ,OO0. At the time this note was given, it is alleged that the de- fendants knew their company was in a failing and insolvent condition.
 Another action has been brought by Stiles E. Goodsell and Florence N. Anderson, trustees, against the same defendants The trustees say they hold five notes of the McElrOy Bos. for an amount aggregating $11,000, and these notes are due and unpaid. Two pieces of property in Water street and one in Jones avenue were given to secure the paper. Joseph A. McElroy holds a mortgage on the property on the note for $67 ,O00, mentioned above. The plaintiffs want this mortgage de- clared fraudulent and void by the Su- periOr court

VACCINATION WILL
 REMAIN COMPULSORY

Between Tuesday and today, as Senator Judson facetiously remarked, the Senate underwent a great psy- chological change, and the vote to- day was reversed, 20 to 6. The sem tors voted by roll call.
 Senator Judson today, made the leading speech against compulsory vaccination. He declared that with out going into the merits of vaccina- tion itself, he firmly believes that children should be given the oppor- tunity of attending public schools and obtaining the benefit of the states educational system, without being forced to submit to vaccination.
 Senator Garry Paddock of Bridge port spoke against compulsory vac Ration and declared himself firmIy opposed to it. Senators Peck, Spell acy, Mitchell, Wright and Foster brought the guns of the opposition to bear on the characterization bill and when the vote was taken, the result was as sta ted.
