The body of Mir. Millet was re- moved to the chapel at Mount Auburn cemetery. where funeral services were held in the afternoon. J. B. Millet, a nephew of the artist, accompanied the | remains from Halifax.
 When the three bodies were hauled up through the trainshed on trucks and taken to the inward baggage rooms to be transferred to the undertakers | wagons they presented an unusual 1 spectacle.

Papers in three new cases as follows have been filed with the clerk of the superior court:
 Gertrude Louise Wassmer of New London, minor, brings suit through Helen Wassmer, her guardian, against the Lyceum Theater company of New London, claiming severe bodily in juries from tripping over one of the theater billboards which fell in front of her as she was passing along Union street on Nov. 25, 1911. By reason of the fall the plaintiff claims she sus- tained a broken kneecap of the left leg 'sprain and wrenching of the leg and other general shock to her system. The theater company is charged with not having the billboard securely fastened and is sued for $5,0O0 damages by Ger trude Louise Wassmen.
 Mohican Go. vs. City of New Lon don, an appeal from the board of re- lief. In this case the Mohican company of New London appeals from the do- ings of the New London board of as- sessors and board of relief in raising the value of the company's real estate in the tax list from $116, 666.67 to $200,- 900 and of their furniture from $10,000 to $20,00e.'

TRoLLEYMEN NOT
 TALKING STRIKE NOW
Vice President Storrs So Declares More Conferences with Connecticut Company over New Wage Rate.

More conferences yet between the Connecticut company and the New England board of conference will be held before the new wage rate of the troleymen has been finally determined upon. But at the present time Vice President Lucien s, Storrs emphati- cally declares that any talk of a strike is false and absurd.
 The matter of the new wage rate is of character that will require much consideration. It is being hewed into shape by J. K. Punderford, the gen eral manager of the Connecticut com pany, and if he fails to agree with the men, then it will be passed up to l.. 5. Storrs' the vice president of the company, and if he finally fails to get together with the men. President Mel len, who is the head of the New Ha- ven road, will take a hand.
 There was no meeting Thursday, put the trolleymen here understood that there was to be another confer ence today. this time in Hartford. The Norwich delegate, George P. Leonard. who attended the conference in New Haven on Wednesday, was home here | on Thursday, but the Norwich trolley men understood that he might be in & conference which is held at Hart ford today.
 AM that was done at the meeting Wednesday, which was largely of a 1 preliminary character, was the laying ] in or the set of facts regarding the wage increase, which the trolleymen want, and the betterment of conditions and 1t is said that a suggestion was l made on the part of the railroad off, cials that a 30-cent an hour flat rate and time and a half for overtime and a nine-hour day was something that 1 the road could not stand. It was also i said that the road did suggest a com promise in limiting the number of years which a man shall serve before he shall attain the highest wage. to three instead of six years which now | prevails.
 After a vote taken by the locals in all parts of the state on the questions under discussion. the action of the un- l Ions will be reported to the New Eng land conference board at a meeting to be held soon and if the locals do not agree to the roads suggestion. which they probably will not, the matter will be again presented to Vice President StorTs bureau.
 It seemed likely from the talk of 1 the trolleymen in New Haven Thurs | day that there might come about an increase of the sliding scale of wages, but that standardization of the trolley workers day to be one of nine hours was not to be expected at this time. However, 1t was said that the trol- 1 leymen might be satisfied, partially. if 1 they could secure a betterement of their condition at present which calls Tor 2l 1-2 cents an hour leading up to H 1-z cents as a maximum, with un- limited overtime at the rate of five cents an hour extra pay.
