JUDGMENT FOR DEFENDANT.
In Water Rights Case of osnio vs Elm Farm Milk Comp pany-Plaintif Given Amount and Interest ir Morse O'NeilI Suit.

The superior court was a busy place Wednesday, two cases being decided, and the third started. In Clio Batta Ognio against the Elm Farm Milk company, Judge Greene charged the jury at 1915 when court convened, consuming about half an hour in the charge. After being out a short time, the jury came in to ask if they could divide costs. They were told they should either find for the plaintiff to recover, or for the defendant, and after a five minute discussion return ed with verdict for the defendant. The ssuit was for damages for shut ting off the water from pond which was used by the defendants for cut ting ice. and by the plaintiffs Tor talk ing water. The watef was shut off while the dam was being repaired, and damages of two hundred fifty dollars were claimed. The jury were excused after this case for the balance of the week, and told they would be notified when their services were again required. Finds for Plaintiff.
 Judge Greene then heard the court case of Erwin B. Morse against John O'Neill, an action for damages for a house on Summit street. The defense claimed that the work was not in- cluded in the contract between the par ties. After hearing the few witnesses in the case, Judge Greene found for the the plaintiff to recover the Amount of his bill, S35.64, with interest from January 1. 1913.
 Suit for Sale Commission.
 The third case taken up was that Of Martin H. Waterhouse of this city against Louis Gunderson of Mansfield suit for commission for the sale of the latter's farm. Several witnesses were heard on each side, and then the attorneys, $. B. Harvey and T. J. Kel- ley. agreed to submit the evidence to the judge without argument.

GO TO SCHOOL HERE.
Son of pr. Ross of Mansfield Can At tend WiIInantie Sohool--Asreement
 With Mansfield Resoinded.

Most of Wednesday nights session of the school board was taken up with discussion of where the year old son of pr. Donald Ross of Mansfield shall go to school. Several months ago, at the request of the school com mittee of Mansfield, the local board passed a vote that no child from the former town could attend the Wind- ham school without the permission of the Mansfield committee. Dr. Ross stated that his boy was the only one in his grade and that he would like to send him to Willimantic for the childs best interests. The Mansfield authorities refused to give the neces- sary permission. A. w. Buchanan of the Mansfield committee stated that the scholars from that town were the equal of any out of town pupils com ing to the Windham High school, in the opinion of Principal Case. Rev. Leonard Smith, another member of the committee, also opposed Dr. Ross re- quest saying that if it were granted others would want to do the same and the town would suffer. There was no discrimination against Dr. Ross. The latter said it was a question of per- sonal liberty and if he wished to send his child to Windham or anywhere else 1t was no business of the town of Mansfield, so long as the boy had proper schooling. After some discus sion it was voted to reScind the agree ment with MdnSneld. ana comnlItee consisting of R. H. Fenton, c. B. Case and T. J. Kelley was appointed with power to make rules regarding the ad- mission of children from outside towns, treating all alike. In the mean time Dr. Ross son will be allowed to attend the local school subject to the conditions imposed by this committee.
 The matter of scholars In -the public schools changing from one school to another without cause was referred to the same committee.
 Thenappointment of a school physi- clan was held over, and a. committee was appointed consisting of George F. Elliott. H. Dion and H. c. Lathrop to decide what terms can be made and

HOME FOR TIE AGED
Likely to Be Started sooa-5uiIdins
 Committee Studying Other Homes.

It is likely that Willimantic will see something definite done about building a home on the property recently ac- quired by the directors of the Home for the Aged, which received such an Impetus from the gift of the late Mrs
 Hannah T. Card. A trip has been planned by the building committee of the board to Norwaik and two other cities which have recently ,, erected such homes. with a view to looking over their plans, and seeing what could be changed in them, to make the scheme more suitable to Wilt mantle. It is probable that a system will be devised whereby the first building to be erected here will fit in and form a component part 0f other and later buildings or additions to be, put up as circumstances re- quire. In this way, present needs would be cared for and necessary ad- dit,ons would not call for any loss on the first investment by necessitatins costly changes. The situation will be canvassed thoroughly. and then piaHs will be prepared. When the work is actually begun, the directors are con fident the endowments will begin to flow in, and they are contemplating scheme whereby person can, in middle life or before, give a stated sum as an endowment, with the pro- vise that it shall furnish him with care in his old age, if needed, or may be wtlled to other deserving parties.

NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS 7 - ADVOCATED BY TAFT
Views Between Two Extremists, 5ry. :. an and Roosevelt. s-e-a .as

Chicago, Nov. 10--Net tiopela aprepar- edness, for defense was tadFoeAted by former President William, He Taft. in an address here tonight before the National. Security league. D, -
 The present position of the nation and it's lack of adequate preparation for defense. together with a, review. of what additions to the army and navy he considered advisable, were outlined by Mr. Taft, who said: z-= ,"Do not let us sacrifice the national security to an academic theory, or. the wish to vindicate it." N-E-.--T
 5''I find myself somewhere. between MT. Bryan and Mir. Roosevelt and others: Utterly at variance with tMr.- Bryans view, but not going as far ass MT. Roosevelt, in the amount of prep aration needed or the amount fpracti- cable" said Mr. Taft .,s < 'EMr. Bryan says that mo nation is going to attack us and that prepara- rtion makes us truculent and aggres- sive.' Is it more likely. that we shall invite war because we are merely ready to defend ourselves than that nations will attack us because we, are helpless There is only one answer to this question-our people are not for war now or at any tine except tc stop wrong. The assumption that all nations will do us justice win not se-.. cure justice" &,
 Taft outlined what he termed req. sonable preparation" He said the American navy should be equal tc that Of Germany. Not the size ei England's. he said, because of Great Britain's habit of arbitration for a hundred years and because 1t has no. standing army" He said American coast defenses were as good as any in the world, but that the navyyHeeded 90 per cent. increase, including 1SI- 900 men and 300 officers. The national guard should be increased to 125, 900 men and then standing army to 75seeo with, a reserve. of 20o. 900 men, --
 Speaking of the administrations de- fense plans, he said. the board of in. ventors is as impractical as a board of opera singers. a board of naval ex- perts was needed He declared, how ever. that the change of heart of the administration as to defense is a good sign and we should welcome it."
 The Philippine. policy of the ad-. aninistration he termed "misleading. and foolish,' and of the recognition of. Carranzar said: t'. we hope Carranza5 will win--if not we lose our bet and we shall be near CT than ever to intervention by loAlr policy
