Mayor Will Try To Keep Taylor
 On Fire Board

T have not yet been able to talk to MT. Taylor in regard to his resignation from the fire board but I shall see him and try to induce him to remain on the board"
 This was what Mayor c. B. Wilson said this afternoon of the resigna- tion of Wallace C.. Taylor, notice of which he received from MT. Taylor Monday with the statement that press of business made it imperative thai he resign from the board of fire com n1issioners.
 MT Taylor who is at present sery- ing his third term as a member of the board was reappointed by Mayor Wilson last year after having already served two terms on the board. The mayor said this morning that MT. Fay Tor was one of the most efficient and thoroughly capable men that could possibly be obtained for a position of this kind. He said that although he has received MT. Taylor's resigna- ton he has not officially accepted 1t, and hopes to pursua1e MT. Taylor to change his mind about resigning.
 The fire commissioner states that It is simply because the work attached to the position on the board so com ficts with his other duties as adver- tising manager for the Rowland Dry Goods company that he has sent in his resignation.

LOBBY KILLS BILL
 TO ENABLE CITIES
 TO OWN UTILITIES
(By Our Staff Corres.)

Hartford, June 4.-The House re- jected the bill introduced by Repre- sentative Lynn W. Wilson of Bridge port with reference to cities having the right to vote upon the questions of acquiring their own public utilities such as gas, water and electricity.
 MT. Wilson said that after Repre- sentative Clitus H. King of Fairfield had prepared the way for the rejec- ton of the bill, it was probably doom ed to defeat.
 Almost daily since the opening of the session, said he, the House has been the rendezvous of a crowd of lobbyists maintained by the public service corporations of Bridgeport whose sole mission was to see that no legislation wanted by the people of that city was allowed to pass. He said that while evidently the lobby had succeeded in the work for which it was created, he desired to enter his formal protest against such tactics on behalf of the people of Bridgeport.

JURY FINDS OLD MAN WAS COERCED
 TO DEED PROPERTY

Finding that Sidney Watts had been coerced into deeding his property to his son, Stanley, a jury in the superior court this morning gave g. verdict in favor of Samuel A. Purdy, trustee on the Watts estate, who had brought suit against Stanley Watts. The jury simply made a finding of facts and 1t is probable that motion w4ll be filed asking the court to set aside the deed.
 It was alleged that Sidney Watts resident of Westport, had property worth about $25, 1000 which he was in duced to turn over to his son Stanley by the latter. The other heirs claim ed the old man was addicted to the excessive use of drugs and liquors and was not competent to transact affairs. Stanley said his father was mentally capab b1e. The trial lasted several days before Judge Case and a jury.

MOTORISTS SLIDE
 ON OILED STREETS

Automobo1ists today have had many narrow escapes from serious accident only by the rneresf good fortune if the many reports that are current are to be believed This is said to be due to the activity of the street department in oiling of the surfaces.
 The greatest source of danger Is found in the tendency of a large car to skid when the brakes are suddenly applied and all automobiFists should be most careful when approaching such spots.
 Washington avenue from Park ave- nue to Congress street, is reported as specially liable to accident owing to the grade near the Shirt factory, sew eraI reports of trouble and narrow es- capes having come from that section.

It was this claim for $12,000 for executors fees and other expenses that the oth- CT heirS protested and now that it has been withdrawn the case will very probably be quickly closed up.
