NOTHING TO TIT
Business Men Enthusiastic Over Coed Time at Storrs-New London Paper Talking Through It's Panamal

A recent article in a New London newspaper was the subject of consid- erable comment among the business men of this city Friday The article said: "The attendance at the Business Mems association outing at Storrs col- lege, neighboring to Wtllimantic, to- day, was not as large as anticipated. For some reason-I know what the reason is, said a New London bus mess man yesterday-the attendance from Norwich was not expected to be over 25. One Norwich paper said it wan because the dinners cost $1.50 and there was uncertainty how to get from Wiliimantic to the dinner by those who would travel by train or trolley. Also the correspondent of the Norwich Bulletin at Wiliimantic yesterday morning wrote that there was little enthusiasm in Willimentic, that the attempt to close the largest stores failed and that the attendance would be small. E. C.. Chidsey had charge of the New London representation and he told the writer of this comment early in the week that they would take 75 from New London. Telephone Manager Ford sold about 25 of the New London tickets. It was. however. a party of cheerful optimists And 1t did them good to get away from the daily grind of limited environment.
 In view of the fact that such state
 
 never been printed in the Bulletins Willimantic correspondence, that there were 157 of Willimantic's business men at the outing, and that the transporta- tien facilities provided were adequate to have taken care of a considerably larger number sSan appeared at the outing. the business men in this city felt that they had not been rightly rep resented in the matter. The. outiRS was the most successful in the history of the association, and everything pos sible. was done for the comfort and convenience of the visitors, so that il is most unfortunate for the cementins of the friendly ties of the Eastern Connecticut association that such statements should be published. The strongly expressed opinion was heard | Friday that everyone was satisfied with the annual outing, but the Nor wich association. who were trifle piqued over something connected witt | the arrangements for the gathering | The Norwich delegation who come tC | the cutting seemed to have good time 1 and were very cordial, and not the ! slightest unpleasantness was shown.

upon whether Mfr. Sibley was at the time of his death. occupied as he was. an empioye in the sense contemplated by the statute
 The county of Windham claims that at the time of his death Mir. Sibley was not an enploye but that he was an executive officer of the state and as such an officer exercised a portion of the sovereign power of the state del- esated to him by law; that as sher- the state of Connecticut or with the county of Windham, and that in this employ yment.tff such 1t can be called. he -differed- entira1y from that-class of persons which does service for the state under a contract made by the authorized represent ses of the sov- tereign power with him.
 Public Officer va. Public EmpRoye. The general rules by which the pub lie officer is distinguished from the public employe are set forth on page 542 of Volume II of the American and English annotated cases. and reads as follows: Public positons-It may be stated as general rule. fairly de- ducible from the cases discussing the | question that a position is a public office when it is created by law, with l duties cast upon the incumbent which
 involve an exercise of some portion | of the sovereign power and in the performance of which the public is tconcerned: while a public employ ment on the other hand is a position l which lacks one or more of the fore going elements

 In the Nature of Tort Actions.
 All actions brought ur>5er the Con-
 necticut Workmen's Compensation act are in the nature of tort actions The
 act has simply changed the remedies by abolishing the three defenses of

 and has fixed the amount to be re- | covered Any otftr -defenses avail
 able before the passage of this act are
 available today under it or in de-

STATE NOT LIABLE.
Claim of Brief Filed by Respondent in
 Case of Sheriff sibIey's Widow.

Attorney w. A. King of Williman-
 tic. representing, with Attorney Gener-
 al John H. Light, the respondent n
 the case of Kate B. Sfbley vs. the
 state of Connecticut, the case in which
 compensation is sought on account of
 the accident that caused Sheriff Sib-
 leys' death. has filed with Judge Har-
 " E. Back, representing Mrs. Sibleys
 ter a hearing before Compensation
 Commissioner J. J. Donohue four weeks
 ago. The state claims that it Is in
 no way liable in this proceeding. and
 in support of that claim submits a
 discussion covering the various points
 at issue. Mir. King says in part: The
 vital question, so decisive that It makes well nigh unIfecessary any ex- animation of other defenses. Is this: Is the sheriff an employe of the state by reason of any contract with the state as an employe? In other words, is his relation to the state that of an em- ploye as defined in Section 43 of the Workmen's compensation act?
 Now on the threshold of this in- quiry 1t may be affirmed. without dan- ! ger of serious denial, that the act deals with the relations between master and 1 servant as for generations those terms | have been known to law: that is, the ' relation between the one hiring by I contract and the one being hired by contract. The very title of the act. it's history, and all it's inherent evidence conclusively show that it's scope 2 Id object was not to legislate for oth 4 | than master and servant as they hays
