POWER co. MUSTPAY
8 YEARS INTEREST

Hartford, March 5-The Berkshire
Power Company must add per cent.
interest to run from 1908 on the claims
of Myron Andrus, John Griffith and
Patrick Hughes, of Sheffield, Mass,
for f1owage damages against the com
pany, by decree just handed down
by Judge Martin in the United States
court.
The power company, which is a
Connecticut corporation, and recently
sold to a, Boston concern, obtained a
special charter about 10 years ago,
permitting it to dam the Housatonic
river at Canaan for water power to
generate electricity. Since then the
company has been much of the time
in the federal courts. while it's en-
gineers said that the fIowage would
be taken care of by the river levels
below the Massachusetts state line, as
a matter of fact, farms in Sheffield
were flooded IN some instances as
much as six feet. Andrusy Griffith
and Hughes applied for an injunction
and while it was not granted, money
master appointed by the federal court
to determine the matter. Domages
of $4,000 were awarded to Andrus;
Sc 500 to Griffith, and $500 to Hughes.
On motion made, yesterday, by the
plaintiffs attorneys for costs and in
terest froIa the date of action, the
court has decided that interest should
run from September, 1905 but that no
costs should be assessed except in the
full hearings before the master and
since. 1t is expected the matter will
be carried to the United States circuit
court of appeals.

JUDSON MUST
START anew
AGAINST PECK
Technical Victory for Judge
of Probate When Charges
Are Dismissed

Probate Judge Charles H. Peck of
Stratford against whom charges were
recently filed by the grievance COM
mittee of the Fairfield county bar won
a temporary victory in the superior
court this morning when Judge
Burpee granted the motion to dismiss
the grievance committees report The
decision was granted on technical
grounds.
Attorneys DeForest & Klein, repre-
senting Judge Peck, moved that the
report be dismissed upon the ground
that the membership of the commit
tee was not regularly constituted, be-
cause Attorney John c. Chamberlain
had replaced Attorney C. s. Garfield.
The latter felt that he was disquali-
fed and did not think he ought to eat,
After he heard the courts decision,
States Attorney Stiles Judson an
nounced that he will Immediately file
new charges against Judge Peck, as
he is authorized to do under the law.
The grievance committee based its
report on alleged irregular dealings
by Judge Peck in handling the Susan
NJ. B. Perry estate in the Stratford
probate court. Nelson NJ Perry
Francis w. Perry and Isabelle NJ.
Beach, heirs of the Perry estate,
claimed that Judge Peck, among other
things, made a charge of $3.50 for legal
services which he claimed were nee
essary. On further investigation it
was alleged that Judge Peck himself
performed the services for which he
made the charge.
In his memorandum Judge Burpee
says in part:
This purports to be the presentment
made by the grievance committee of
the Fairfield county bar, but 1T ap-
pears plainly that it is not the regu-
lar Fairfield county committee that is
acting but some special committee
which has assumed the name Of
grievance committee of the Fairfield
county bar. 1t does not appear that
be denied to him in any substantial
way.
It seems plain THAT the defendant
would have a fair hearing or op-
portunity to be heard. Still, if techni-
cal rules are to be applied as indi-
Gated in the Ennis case, it would
seem to be safer to sustain the de-
PENDANTS motion to dismiss. Techni-
caIly it may be held that this pre-
sentiment is not made by the grtev-
ance committee or by any members
of the bar by the direction of the
court. Certainly it is not made by
the states attorney. Technically
therefore it may be that it is not
made in any way prescribed by the
rules of court, page 206 Whether or
not such a conclusion is proper. it
would certainly seem safer in the light
OF the Ennis case. to proceed more
strictly and technically. No injus-
tice or considerable Inconvenience will
follow the presentment in such a way.
The motion to dismiss is granted.

HELEN TAFT'S POODLE
STRAYED Or STOLEN

washington, March S.-The police,
today, are engaged in a strenuous
search for Miss Helen Taft's italian
poodle dog Neemie, which had the bad
taste to stray away from the White
House yesterday, just before the Taft
family left for the train that was to
bear them to Georgia. Neemie is a
great favorite of Miss Taft's and she
was inconsolable. The tears which
she shed at the Union Station while
taking leave of friends are thought to
have been partly due to the loss or

ties all doubts about the issuance oi

lar sets forth that the b. & o. Railroad
win issue clerical tickets as usual, Gov
ering the same territory as before, but
win not issue clerical tickets from one
point to another point within the State
of Pennsylvania. A through clerical
ticket can be purchased from a point
outside Pennsylvania TO a point within
that state however.

recently announced the same plan iol
