Sarah A. Mcconnell of Ridgefield
was on hand in the superior court
this morning prepared to testify
against Porter and his father, John F.
Porter. The lawyers held a confer

settle the case. The terms were not
made public.
1t was alleged that on Jan. 8, 1917,
Mrs. O'Connell, who is a. woman we'll
along in years, made an agreement
to deed her property to Thomas F..
Porter on condition that he would
give her a home for the rest of her
life. She says he refused to carry
out his agreement after April 9, 1915.
Meanwhile she learned Porter had
transferred the property to his
father. She asked the court to have

!. REBUKE C. O. P.
Decry Situation Resulting
From Killing Of Merit
System Here.
SEEK TO RESTORE
STATUTE IN CONN
Postmaster General Burle
son Will Speak to Meet
ing in New Haven.

New Haven, Dee. 5.-The action ed
the last Legislature, overwhelmingly
Republican, In killing the state civil
service law, was scored today at the
36th annual meeting here Of the Ma
tienal Civil Service Reform league.
One Of the reasons for the leagues
gathering here, it was stated, was be-
cause of the situation resulting from
"the throwing out Of the window by
the General Assembly of the Connec-
ticut civil service law" It is not un-
likely that the league will center in
this state some of the activities Of its
constructive program already map
ped out
This program calls for a Legislative
agent at Washington, a publicity de-
partn1ent and a research expert to aid
the civil service commission in carry
ing out the civil service law. More
than $4,000 has been subscribed for
use in the promotion Of legislation IA
vored by the league.
The constructive program. 1t was
announced, would be to work for
change in the law which requires con-
fir1nation by the Senate Of Presiden-
tial appointees to offices in which the
functions have no bearing upon gov
ernmental policies, substituting there
fore the direct appointment by the
President on the basis Of merit and
without partisanships, and a change
in the civil service law which will re-
quire the head of department to
discharge an unfit employe in the in
terest of efficiency. =
Gov. Marcus H. Holcomb attended
the meeting and was welcomed by
Richard H. Dana, of Massachusetts,,
the president. Men prominent in the
civil service movement were also
present.
The entire day is being given UP to
business sessions, the greatest inter-
est, however, being in the night
meeting at which Postmaster-Ge General
A. s. Burleson will speak to be follow
ed by Mr.. Dana, who will do SO for
the league and by William Dudley
Fou1ke. OF Indiana, former United
States Civil Service Commissioner. It
is expected by members that Mr.. Bur-
Lesson will state the attitude. of the
administration toward the civil ser
vice in the postal service.
The postal league, it is stated, will
take up this matter in the form Of
resolutions, based upon discussion Of

UNIVERSITY CLUB
TO Have HOME IN
LYON RESIDENCE
Purchase Of Thomas i. Wat
son Residence Practically
Agreed Upon.

The Board of Governors Of the
University club virtually has decided
upon the purchase of the Thomas l..
Watson residence, 232 Golden Hill
street, with it's extensive grounds and
big building as the nucleus OF a.
permanent home.
The location, almost opposite the
present University club building,
which will be utilized by the Young
Womens Christian association as a
site for the new building already
planned by New York architects, was
originally the homestead Of the late
Hanford Lyon.
Negotiations for the purchase have
been tentatively completed and pres
ent plans include thorough renovation
Of the exterior as we'll as the interior,
enlargement by a brick addition for
squash courts and gymnasium, and
enlargement of the present structure
for dornitory purposes.
It is estimated that in the new
building even more space for dormi-
tories, ETC., will be available than in
the present quarters.
The purchase of the Watson prop
erty is not contingent upon the ac-
ceptance of the old club house leases
by the Y. w. G. A. and it is likely
that the change will be inaugurated
prior to July of next year.
