NEW HAVEN STOCKS AND SUGAR SHOW
 MOST FALLING OFF

New York. Jan. s-opening The trend of the stock market was up ward in the early trading today, ai- though improvement of the specuia- tive leaders was offset partially by weakness of a. few stocks. Reduction of the Bank of England discount rate to 1-2 per cent and the evidence thus afforded of bettermente of Euro pean aanancial condit onss improved sentiment here. Erie, Reading and Texas company were bid up point and RumeIey 1 1-2.
 New Haven and American Sugar showed most pronounced signs of heaviness, each falling back 1. After half an hour of trading the whole market weakened, most of the leaders receding fractional1y.
 Noon-The advance in stocks dur ing the morning was due largely to the strong technical position Of e.gtn ne market although the 1novenrent WAS assisted by heavy absorptfon of fgRead- ing and the improvement of none Ltary conditions in foreign financial centers. When shorts attempted to cover they found only a small supply of stock available around yesterdays 6 closing range, and were forced to bid higher.

Supreme Court Cases.

In the Supreme Court at Hartford, Tuesday, the first case taken I'D was the plaintiffs appeal from the action of Judge Joseph P. Futile in directing verdict for the defendant in the Su- perior Court. The action was that of Angelo Gerardi of Torrington against H. s. Driscol1 & Co, a co-part- nership, consisting of Hilary s. Dris- coll of Bristol and Patrick Driscon of Torrington. On November 29, 1910, Gerardi was employed by the defen- dants on a sewer job in Torrington. He was engaged in drilling stone In a sewer trench that was fifteen feet deep when the trench caved in on him and his left leg was broken in four places between the knee and ankle. As the result of the injury he was laid up a long time and he sued for damages of $2,0OO, claiming that his injuries were due to the negligence of the de- fendants in that they did not have the sides of the excavation hraced up. Af- ter the pIaintiff's side of the case was put in the lawyers for the defendants asked Judge Futile to direct a yer dict for the defendants. Judge Tut- tie granted the motion, on the ground that Gerardi had failed to show that his knowledge of the conditions was not, at least, as great as the knowl- edge of the defendants as to, what was likely to happen in ditches such as had been disclosed and the judge. told the jury that it seemed to him that as a matter of law, 6Gerardi could not recover. It was from this direction that the case was appealed to the Su- preme court by Gerardi
 The action brought by Thomas l.. Norton, administrator de bonis non, with the will annexed, on the estate Of Sidney P. Ensign, late of Salisbury, against Lucy E. Mortensen of Sails bury, and others, was heard.
 Repair of Highways.

 Church Has Rededication. A large congregation gathered at the Salisbury Congregational Church Sunday to rededicate the sanctuary after extensive renovation. The edi- fee was built in 1900. The present improvement was a restoration to CO., lonial form, including the placement of four Ionic columns of majesric height behind t1fe- pulpit with a recess. smaller columns of the same order under the galleries, the walls tinted a Colonial buff and a chapel addition made in the rear, with conference room, ClaSS rooIIiS ana oIner accom- modations. The entire expense, ex- ceeding $10,O00, was practically rais- l ed within the year, a small sum re- maining to be assumed by the Ladies' Aid Society.
 The address of the pastor alluded to the fact that this is the third building erected for Congregational usage in the 169 years of the church life. Sin- gularly, the second meeting house
 built in 1751, is now the town hall and it, too, Is undergoing extensive | alteration, on the same architect ura 1 lines as the church, with Ionic pillars l in front, and corner blocks and dsc2

 Disposed Of

Washington, Jan. 8-Preli1ninary plans of the disposition by the so- called telephone trust of it's s29,ooO,- 900 worth of Western Union stock were under consideration today by G. c. Todd. assistant to Attorney General McReynolds and in charge of prose cutions under the Sherman antitrust act. MT. Todd listened yesterday to tentative prop osals from N c. Kings bury, vice-presiden of the Amer1can Telephone 6 Telegraph Company re- lating~to the disposal to- be made Of the Western Union stock
 H Although the present negotiations have not reached the stage where g. policy can be outlined, it is known Todd would oppose a pro-rate distri- button of the Western. Union shares among. stockhol ders of the American sTeleph one 6 Telegraph Company They take the position that this case is greatly different from that present ed by the Union Pacific and the BaItl- more & Ohio and that there is no parallel to be found in the Union Pac- ific's plan to distribute the Baltimore & Ohio stock to it's shareholders The two railroads are not competitors for business, the officials hold, which the two wire companies are.
 Although a final decision in the matter may not be reached for many weeks the departme ment of justice prob ably will adhere to it's announced policy of allowing the American com pany as much time as is necessary to dispose of the Western Union stock without detriment to it's own stock hold

Gov. Walsh Tells Bay State Of His
 Railroad: Belief Boston and Maine Is Chief Subject of Executives
 Inaugural. SUGGESTS NEW COMPANY
 TO TAKE OVER LINE Declares Existing Contracts Are UnsOund and WaSteful Of
 Concerns Money.

Boston, Jan. S-The Boston & Maine Railroad was the subject of the great CT part of the inaugural address of Governor David I. Walsh delivered today He said the road was in serious straits and needed help not only from the legislature but from it's own stockholders and from the stock holders of it's leased lines.
 As a remedy, he suggested the for nation of a new corporation in which the stock of the leased lines should be merged with those of the Boston & Maine. He believed that such a railroad corporation would be sub stantial1y in accordance with the
 .traditionally sound theories of the state.''
 '.The present condition of the Bos- ton & Maine he said, .eis a serious menace to the industrial improvement of northern New Eng1and.''
 { Investors in the road are suffering. in the opinion of the governor, be- cause in the past, compliant legisla- tures and commissions gave with. too free a hand and failed to require of those who have created and controlled the railroad system compliance with the sa1utory and sound principles up- on which for decades our railroad law was grounded" The governor. de- clared the stockholders themselves re- sponsible for the management which is the direct and chief cause of the loss.
 He criticised as unsound and waste full the contracts between the Boston 6 Maine and the Pullman and Ameri- can, Express companies.
 The, primary responsibility of the roads legal and financial rehabilita- ton. he said, rested upon the federal government and the owners of the company. He felt that there was as- surance that the federal government would perform it's duty and would give no immunity to it's wrongdoers.
 The CommonweaIth,' said the gov ernor, "can and will aid in a wise plan of reorganization which enabling legislation so framed as effectuaIly to guard both our investors and our general public from a recurrence of the management and the evils of the past.
 eff the parties in interest avail tn themselves at once of the opportunity
 of reorganization on just and fair terms any enabling legislation reason ably desired. shall gladly recom- mend; but, if they fail in the prompt and efficient performance of that duty, it will then be the plain duty of the Commonwealth to take drastic and effective action to protect itself it's industries, its savings institutions and it's citizens from further loss due to IAI1CC1aQOIcnI or u1161Ln1ul railroad management"
 The governors message favored the calling of a constitutional convention to deal with amendments favoring the initiative and referendum, biennial elections, abolition of the executive council and the offices of lieutenant governor, woman suffrage, govern .ment by majority, revision of the tax laws and compulsory .workingman,s $ compensation.
 He said that he favored the aboli- ton of party enro1fment and a reeer- endum on woman's suffrage
