AWARDS $500 FOR PINE ISLAND SALE
Jury Superior Court Gives This Verdict For Josept T. Cruttenden Is Half Amount Sued For-No Interest AL lowed-Suit of Mary Wells For Falin New London Next to be Tried.

Having had the case under discus sion for two hours and a half Thurs day afternoon, the jury in the superior court here on the Joseph T. Crutten- den vs. John H. Williams case came in at 425 o'clock and rendered a yer dict for the plaintiff to recover the sum of $500, without interest. for his claim for commission as agent in the sale of Pine Island to Morton F. Plant for the sum of $20,000. MT. Crutten- den had sued for a commission of $1,- 900, with interest since the fall of 1903, but he seemed well pleased with the verdict and left the courtroom with a smile on his face. The verdict also carries costs with it, it is stated.
 When court opened Thursday morn ing at 10 o'clock, after a brief confer ence between the lawyers and the court, Attorney Edward w. Huxford made the opening argument for MT. Williams, speaking for about 45 min utes He was followed for 30 minutes by Attorney Warren w. Cressey, also of Stamford, for the defendant and Attorney Donald G. Perkins concluded the arguments, presenting the plain tiff's side in an argument that lasted an hour.
 Judge Shumway's charge occupied 30 minutes, dwelling upon the law in the case, in which he instructed the jury that the case hinged upon whether Mir, Cruttenden brought about the sale of the island to MT. Plant. Ii the jury

CHANGES IN STATE
 JUDICIARY COMING.
Judge Shumway's Name Among Those
 Suggested for Supreme Court.

The question of judgeships is being discussed considerably by the legal fraternity. Judge Milton S. Shumway of Danielson. who is now presiding at the superior court session here is mentioned as a possible one to be elevated to the supreme court bench.
 Chief Justice Frederick B. Hall will retire from the supreme court bench in February by reason of the age limit and there is no little speculation as to who will be elevated from the superior court to the vacancy. Justice Samuel o. Prentice will undoubtedly be the succeeding chief justice and for the vacancy in the court Judge William s. Case of Hartford, Judge Milton 5. ShumWay of Killingly and Judge How ard J. Curtis of Stratford are promi- nently mentioned.
 It Is the expressed opinion of many that two of the three vacancies to oc- cur soon on the superior court bench will be filled by the appointment of Joseph P. Futile of Hartford and Ed win s. Thomas of New Haven.
 Judge Ralph Wheeler of New Len- con and Judge Marcus H. Holcomb of Southington will retire from the su- perior court by reason of the age limit and the third vacancy comes, as noted from the elevation of a superior court judge to the supreme bench. The third appointment to the superior bench will probably fall to a republican.

WE GAIN BY POOR
 ROAD TO NEW LONDON.
Farmers Along Hartford Turnpike Di-
 verted to Norwich, It Is Claimed.

That the Hartford turnpike, bel tween New London, Chesterfield ana Salem, is in such bad condition that farmers living on it are diverted to Norwich rather than to New London was a point made with the Good Roads association car by the citizens of the Whaling town who went over the road on a tour of inspection Wednesday,;
 President Rogers stated that the road was so bad that farmers living on the turnpike went to Norwich to market their produce, though it was further.
 School Supervisor Wheeler stated that he had occasion to use the road at least once a week in discharging his duties as supervisor of the schools in Waterford, East Lyme and Mont vile and he thought it was the worst in the state.
 Donald Mitchell stated that he owned a place in Salem, but he would rather go ten miles around.
 George G. Avery offered the state ment that the road was one of the worst in this section and confirmed the statements of President Rogers that farmers seeking to market produce went to Norwich rather than use the road to come to New London.
 w nilt llC I1dI llOl u lut IPlhC AAON one of the roads which the state Good Roads association is interested in inn proving except as it is interested in the improvement of all the roads of the state, it is desired to get it's sup port in the betterment of the roads in this locality, and the Hartford turn pike especially. It was the consensus of opinion that the road travelled on Wednesday morning could hardly be much worse, especially for the stretch of two miles between Prospect hill, just over the New London line in Wa terford and Rices hill This stretch is a series of hills which are almost impossible in any weather conditions. In places the sand is as much as ten inches deep and the roadbed is filled with stones. The road has been a detriment to New London business wise as it has always been avoided by both automobilists and farmers who seek other places to market their produce, although they concede that New London is the market of this sec l ton. Not only farmers but automo- bile transients who would naturally come to New London make big de- tours and go to other places rather than travel the road

believed that his work resulted in the sale, then he was entitled to commits sion on $20,0O0. Ifs they thought he was only instrumental in interesting MT Plant, but did not close the mat ter, their verdict should be on what they considered such service was req sonably worth.
 The jury received the case at 1.1O and took it up for discussion after they had had dinner,
 Suit Against New London.

The plaintiff claims she was prevented through these in juries from pursuing her usual em- ployment to her damage of $500 anC had expended money for medical at tention and services besides, The city of New London is held chargeable fol an alleged defective condition of the sidewalk, allowing the ice to accumu- late. The attorneys for the plaintiff are D. M. Cronin and George Curtis Morgan, and for the defendant w. J Brennan and A. P. Tanner.

TOscanini Heartily LaudS the Amcri-
can Appreciation of Music Art.
Rome.-The Inauguration by Ar
thur Toscanini of a concert season
in Rome has caused Roman music
critics to shed bitter tears over the
cruel fate that robs Italy of the artis-
tic services of such men as the Me-
tropolitan conductor. On the other
hand Toscanini told the critics they
have no right to complain as emigra-
ton towards AMERICA .of. musical nov
elites and lyric. artasas must be re-
sarded in the light of commerce, like
any other. Toscanini continued:
AS often happens with commercial
products, the best article is exported
and consumed abroad. Why, then
complain if you cannot pay for such
articles as Tetrazzini. Caruso, Scott,
Titta Ruffo and D'Amat-a? The ~
ric market like any other market, is
governed by the law of supply and
demand Now it happens, Carusos
are not plentiful and the demand is
very large, with correspondingly high
prices. Naturally, Caruso will go to
the consumer who Is willing to pay
the price.
Generally, my experience Is that
the Americans win patronize the the
atre that will give him the best per-
/ formance with the best artists in the
market. In fact, the Metropolitan is
always thronged and the price of GER
tain seats will go to premium every
time the bill bears the name of Ca
russo. or other popular idols.
Naturally. opera is often given al
a loss but even in this case the loss Is
fully faced by some wealthy American
/ patron who Is always ready to put up
the necessary funds. This is especi-
ally true Of New York. The owners
