Thai Was Amount Of Judgment Secured Against Late Politician By Egben Marsh Eagles Deal DiseIoses Conditions
 Of Settlement

The efforts of Bridgeport aerie, Fra ternaf Order of Eagles, to secure part of the property of the Wheeler Beers estate in Main street for a clubhouse site, have disclosed the fact that this estate has finally been settled after being in litigation for many years. At torneys Hugh J. LaXery and Laurence FinkIestone were the last attorneys for Mrs. Beers, widow of Frank w. Beers and her daughters. One of the daughters now owns the Main street property.
 Almost every lawyer in Bridgeport had part in the litigation that involv- ed the settlement of this estate. The litigation grew largely from 9 adeaI which the late Frank W. Beers tried to put through before the City Hall was remodeIIed.
 He had secured offices in the build ing at State and Main streets. He had a lease on the premises and plan ned to rent them to the city for the use of the town clerk at increased rental. Some other politicians step ped into the matter and the office of the town clerk was moved to the Po- lice and Charities building while the City Hall was being remodeIIed.

of offices on his hands off which he had no use. Egbert Marsh, owner of the. building, held MT. Beers to his lease, although the latter did not pay any rent
 When the lease expired MT. Marsh sued Beers and got judgment against him for the full amount of rent, costs and inter est. MT. Beers had no money Or Froperty at that time, but when he became a beneficiary by his fath- CTS will MT Marsh took legal steps to collect the judgment he had se- cured. .Fhis action with other legal litigation whic hwas brought against the estate kept the other heirs from receiving their bequests and at one time it was thought they might lose everything.
 Attorney Lavery finally secured from the Bridgeport Trust Go. a mort. gage for $25,OOO the Beers build ing. This was the amount of the judgment MT. Harsh had secured against Frank w. Beers and for this sum the claim against the estate was released. Real estate valued at about $35,OOO was then divided between Mrs. Beeers and her children.

WILSON'S DEATH
 STRIKINGLY LIKE
 THAT OF DUNIGAN
AnSonia Mechanic TOppIed Over In Shallow Water-PrObably
 Had Heart Attack

Investigation of the death of J. Reid Wilson, the Ansonia mechanic whose lifeIess body was taken from the water at Walnut Beach, Milford, yes terday afternoon, proves it ito be strik- ing1y like the death of Thomas A Dunigan, the East Bridgeport news dealer, which occurred within 8 short distance.
 To add to the grief and concern of Wilson's relatives, his father, Hon. Thomas Wilson of Seymour, Repre- sentative in the General, Assembly, is critically ill with diabetes. He has been in a cornatose state several days News of his sons death has not yet reached him.
 The deceased was about -26 years of age, a resident of Ansonia, formerly of Seymour, and came of one of the best known families of Seymour. He is survived by widow and one child, a babe of six weeks. His widow was a nurse in the Griffin Hospital, Derby, when they were married two years ago.
 Wilson was in water not beyond his him stagger and topple over. He re- mained out of sight for some time, and they at once gave the alarm. By the time men reached the spot, the body was af1oat, face downward, and the face was black as if from strangu- Iation. It is believed he suffered an attack of heart trouble.
 First aid methods for drowning were applied pending the arrival of Dr. J. w. I've from Milford, and the private ambulance of Rourke & Rourlxe, this city. The ambulance brought a pu1rnotor, but life was alto gether gone and it was not put into operation.
 The body was taken to the Theoron Fords Co.'S undertaking parIors in Milford and today taken in charge by w. L. Ward Co, of Seymour.

When Is A Pavement Not A Pavement, Is City Hall Conundrum
Sometimes When It's War renite, But Not Always,
 Says Mayor Wilson

Some of the residents of Connecticut avenue would like to know whetlIer Warrenite is permanent pavement or whethereit is a top dressing and should be considered macadam repairs. Wher- ever Mayor Wilson wants the Streets and Sidewalks Committee of the Com mon Council to have charge Of the paving he insists that Warrenite is only a maca dam repairing material. Just the same the laying of Warrenite in Connecticut avenue in connection with the state highway improvement work is considered permanent pave ment.
 The property owners are to be as- sessed for sixteen feet of the paving the width of their property, although a number of them appeared at the re- cent public hearing in the Council Chamber and opposed the plan to pave the street. This morning Benjamin O. Parsons, a motorman for the Con- necticut company, who owns two houses on Connecticut avenue, was in the City Hall looking for Mayor Will son to explain the matter.
 If Warrenite is not 9 permanent pavement as the mayor claims, MT. Parsons does not see why he should be assessed to pay for 1t. This morn ing he said:
 T think there should be general assessment to cover this pavement like the assessments they levy to lay water bound macadam. Most people who live in Connecticut avenue are poor and they cannot really afford to lay this pavement. I know one won- man myself who had to go to work in the factory last week to save her house Of course if we have to pay for the permanent pavement I can pay my share but it will come hard on some people on that street..
 Mayor Wilson came early to the City Hall this morning and left without telling anyone where he was going so MT. Parsons didn't see him. Parsons was considerably surprised when told that former City Attorney Cul1inan claims that under the city charter property owners can be directly as- sessed for water bound macadam just as they are assessed for permanent pavement.
 MT Parsons, however, wants some one to explain to him how Warrenite can be a permanent pavement in one street and macadam repairs in an> other.

 For State
Special to The Farmer.)

Fairfield, Aug. 29.-The name of one of F'airfie1d's long established families was dragged into the courts today when. Everett R. Sherwood, twelve year old son of Andrew Sherwood, resi- dent of Holland Hill, was committed to the county home for children in Norwalk by Judge of Probate Bacon Wa.keman. Complaint had been made to the court Athat the parents of the youth were not giving him the proper treatment. Among those who com plained to the court and who was on hand to give testimony she had gath cred was Miss Theodore Wheeler, daughter of Samuel H. Wheeler, and an ardent advocate of equal suffrage.
 Both the father and mother, the lat ter the daughter of we'll known fam fly, were present at the hearing. The mothers testimony was most sensa- tional. She said that the boy had of ten become drunk, in fact was a con- f1rmed drunkard, having been taught to drink by his father. She said the father told the youth that drinking would make a. man of him, and the youth believing his father, drank the more-N
 'aThe boy did it to show off, said the motffer, This father urged him to it. .'' The father has a reputation around Fairfield as a. very free imbiber in tho fiery waters. The mother is also ad- O4ClC0 lO l1l0 IdOlI, Oul uO( IO SIACn c]4A extent as the father. The boy told the court that he liked to drink and thought Git was great to stagger about He even went so far as to say that when he got out of the court room he wanted to get drunk again.
 The Sherwoods have seven children, Everett, the committed youth, being the eldest, while the youngest Is nine- teen mont hs.s-It was told the eaalrtS that even the youngest child was given. liquors by it's father.
 Miss Wheeler informed the court that she had visited the Sherwood home on several occasions and found very re pugnant conditions. She had even heard the father use very vile expres- sions to the children and greatly abuse his wife, who was powerless while he was under the Influence of drink. On one occasion Miss Wheeler said she saw one of the younger boys drink so much that lie staggered and fell in a heap in the corner of the room.
 WeIl-to-do friends and relatives of the family in Fairfield have taken care of the six other children of the SherWOOdS.

DIR. HALE OPTIMISTIC
 STARTS FOR WASHINGTON

- Vera Cruz, Aug. 29--Wf1Iiarn Bztyard Hale, who, under instructions from the state department at Washfnetou has been helping John Lind in nero- tlat1ons with the provisional govern ment of Mexico, embarked last night on the Ward Line Steamship Moro Castle, intending to return fnnmedf- ately to Washington to lay the sit71a- ton before President Wilson
 Dr. Hale said that he was .7noDefuI that their efforts would be crowned with success. He said that the most discussed point of President Wilson's proposals to General Huerta was the one eliminating the provisional presi- dent from being a candidate in the presidential contest, this fall Huerta contends that although the oonstitu- ton apparently prohibits a provisional candidate from succeeding himself in office, he can resign and be a candi- date. He further contends that he would be the most acceptable leader under the present conditions.
 -iDr. Hale carries with him to VVasIa-. ington all of the notes which have been. exchanged in the negotiations, tnc1ud-. ing MT. LAnd's personal suggestions for the consideration of President Wilson
 Dr. Hale gave the impression that negotiations were continuing satisfao- torily, but said it was hard to see how the Huerta government could afford to go against 4ne unanimous view of the. country and press that he should not allow outside interference.
