CITY SET BACK FOR
 LOSS. IN EFFORT TO
 CONDEMN HURD LAND
Judge Burpee Finds That Proceedings Are a Medley And Come Within The PuWieW of No Grant of PoWer--App|icatiop Must| Be Made All Over Again

''The appointment of a committee to do certain things is the purpose ana object of each proceeding, but the powers and duties are not the same In each case. The prayer for relief in this application does not conform 10 either section 4112 or 142. It Is un- certain just what the applicant wishes the committee to do or by what law its powers and duties shall be deter mined and exercised. Perhaps 1t IS not strictly necessary to set up acts or grants of power under which the proceeding has been instituted and is to be carried on. but 1t Is customary and better to do so.
 Especially is this true when the applicant has the option of acting un- der two or more of the acts or grants Not only must every provision of the statutes conferring power of condem- nation be strictly compiled with, but such compliance must affirmatively appear on the face of the proceed fngs."
 s'The application must itself present the case within the statute. It Is diff ficult to see how this can be done un- less it appears what act or statutes can be depended upon. If the appll- cant depends on Sec. 142 of the amend ed charter, the prayer for relief is not consistent or authorized. If 1t oe- bends on general statutes 4112, the al- legations are insufficient and the pray CT for relief incomplete.
 "For these reasons and paragraphs 1, 2, 8, 5, g and 10. of the demurrer, It Is Eustained.'

ISMAY MAY DEPART FOR
 ENGLAND But Managing Director of White Star Line Must Return if Committee Needs Him Confirms Statement That Capt. Smith Was Guest at Mill
 lionaires' Party Night
 of Wreck

Washington, April 30.-A new my stery and J. Bruce Ismay on the wit ness stand were climaxes. today, of the Senate's probe of the Titanic tragedy. Spectators literally fought to enter the hearing, Isnay being the attraction. He was grilled for two hours. admitting Captain Smith was a guest at 'millionaires' dinner par ty" aboard the Titanic just before the collision.
 E. J. Dunn, a wallpaper salesman of New York. furnished the opening thrill, today. He said an unnamed man told him that a message, giving the news of the Titanic's loss, was sent to the White Star office at 7:30 or 8 a. m., Monday, April 15. Dunn obstinately refused to name the ''man ed here until he could locate his in torment in New York. by telephone.
 Ismay will be excused, this after noon, on the understanding that, if he returns to England, he will come back for further examination if de- sired.
 The managing director denied to the committee any preferential treat ment aboard the Carpathia, denied censoring news of the disaster, de- nfed that he or6ered the Titanic to be run at full speed and admitted that more lives could have been saved if. the ocean giant had carried a greater complement of lifeboats.
 E. J. Dunn, of Beechhurst, l.. l., a salesman, injected a new mystery in- to the Titanic inquiry. today. He had been told by a mysterious stranger that a telegram regarding the sink ing of the Titanic was received at the White Star offices early Monday, April 15. Dunn said he gave his word not to tell the mans name.
 Determined to force the name of the man of mystery Senator Smith sus- pended the hearing for half an hour and gave Dunn a third degree in- Quisitic.1. eft

 Ismay was cool-almost indifferent as he testified His only sign of ner- yousness was a constant twisting of his fingers. He sat with his back to the audience close at hand, and facing the commission.

The city has lost the first legal skirmish in the effort to condemn land on Golden Hill for a new High School site. Judge Burpee of the Superior court handed down a decision today sustaining the defendants demurrer in the action brought by the city against Frank w. Hurd. The cfty's original action asked that the court appoint appraisers to condemn the land. Attorneys Marsh. Sloddard & Day. representing Hurd, demurred on various technical grounds, their chief objections being that the city had not taken the proper legal procedure.
 In his memorandum Judge Rurpee ,ipholds this view. He says the city has the power to condemr land Tor school purposes. There are several acts under which the proceedings may be brought, but the court says the city should specify under which act the ac- tion is started instead of trying a combination of various acts. The re- suit Of the decision will be that the city must start proceedings in dif- fereut way.
 Judge Burpee's memorandum is as follows: s'The city of Bridgeport seems to have the power to condemn land for school purposes by proceeding as a school district or by its Board or Education or by the Common Council. But these proceedings are somewhat different from each other in form and in preliminary matters by which jur- isdiction may be conferred on the court

Price Of Meat Boosted 4 Gents
 In Local Markets

Forced to do so by the increase in wholesale prices. local retail markets have boosted the prices of meats. The great floods in the West are said to be responsible more sor less for the increase in wholesale prices as the Western markets have been some what deadened and the Eastern sup ply houses are holding back the meats in anticipation of higher prices. With the western supplies choked off by the floods the Eastern supply houses are holding back the meats they have on hand. realizing that the prices will go higher.
 s The local retail markets boosted their prices yesterday and still fur ther, in some instances, today. The average increases amount to three, four and five cents a pound. Choice fancy steers at wholesale cost 10 cents pound a few days back. Now 14 cents a pound is charged. Goo6 lamb is now selling at wholesale for IS cents a pound, whereas it could be bought few days back at Is and 16 cents a pound.

COUNCIL TO TAKE k
 UP TAX RESOLUTION

The miscellaneous committee of the Common Council will take up the res- olution which was submitted to the Common Council by the Board of Ap- portionment, relative to the handling of the tax rebates of last year, at its meeting, Thursday night. There remains only about $400 to be paid back to property owners under the re- bate resolution.
 When former Tax Collector John M. Donnelly went out of office last fall he took with him the books and vouchers for the tax rebates, so as not to burden the incoming tax col- lector with something which right fully remained for him to handle, by virtue of the vote passed by the Com mon Council The Board of Appor- tionment thought that the tax rebates should be handled by the incoming tax collector and adopted resolution that went to the council. This was then referred to the miscellaneous commit tee.

MAYOR MAY VETO DEMAND
 FOR ITEMS
In the Meantime Peter White Must Wait For Money on
 His Bill For Services

Pending Mayor Clifford B. Wilson's action on the resolution of Alderman W. J. Moran, passed at the last meet ing of the Common Council, the audit committee and Peter White, the audit expert, can only sit around and wait. before deciding what to do with the bill of White. which is to be recom- mitted to the audit committee, or MT. White, for further itemizing. The resolution specifics what sort of a bill is wanted and also contains a clause which requires that the White bill, submitted at the last meeting of the Common Council, be referred White himself, to be itemized and corrected according to the resolution.
 Mayor Wilson has seen fit to delay his decision as to whether he will veto the resolution, disapprove of it or approve of it. It is generally con case it goes back to the council and will without doubt be passed over his veto. The mayor has said that he submitted the matter to the city at- torney for an opinion as to the leg ality of the resolution. He said to- day that the matter was still penG- ing, but would not state whether 1t was in the hands of the city attorney or still in his hands.
 Until the mayor acts the audit committee and White are helpless co take action in the matter. If the resolution becomes effective there is little else that can be done by them than to comply with the law thus put into effect. The audit commit tee will meet Saturday at which time the matter will be talked over. White is expected to be in town Monday and if called upon would appear before the council
