Bertha L. Branton
 Gets $1OO In Suit
 For Compensation

Wheeler & Howes of this city are victorious in the much discussed com pensation action brought against the coal dealers by Bertha L. Blanton of Scranton, Pa. Jdge Gager of the su- perior court handed down a, decision today dismissing Mrs. BIanton's ap- peal from Compensation Commissioner Beers, who awarded her $1OO for the death of her father, John H. Garner, who was employed by Wheeler & Howes. Judge Gager confirms the $10O award.
 The case was based on a legal point, which was novel in the courts of this state Under the compensation act the dependents of an empIoye killed while on duty are entitled to recover damages. Mrs. Blanton claimed to be a dependent of the dead man but Wheeler 6 Howes said she had a hus- band and did not depend upon her father for support.
 Garner earned $11.SS a, week and it was admitted that he sometimes sent his daughter small sums but paid her no regular income. Commissioner Beers found that Mrs. B1anton was nota dependent within the meaning of the law and said she was entitled only to recover funeral expenses. Garner was killed in July. 1914. The Travellers Insurance Go. of Hartford, in which company Wheeler & Howes were insured against accidents, con tested the appeal.

Eleven Take Civil
 Service Exams In
 High School Today

Eleven applicants for civil service positions, took the first grade clerical civil service examinations this morn ing in the new High school. The new High school was used because the rooms are larger than the council chamber at the City Hall and also be- cause it was suggested by the city clerk that when the room was used on Saturday afternoons the janitor should be paid for working overtime. The government never has to pay for the use of rooms in any city. Those who pass the examinations will be given positions in custom house and internal revenue departments Will liam Paul was in charge of the exam nations.

NO COMPROMISE
 SETTLEMENT IN
 COLLINS ESTATE
Probate Court Will Have Hearing Monday Before
 Judge Miller.

A compromise settlement of the es- tate of John Collins or Connor, killed in the railroad wreck at Indian River, Washington's birthday, has been de- nied by Judge Miller in the probate court. It has been reported that Judge Miller signifed his intention of allowing the compromise settlement of the state but Judge Miller declared to- day that this was an error. Collins claim against the railroad may amount to several thousand dollars and therefore Judge Milfer has decid- ed to allow the settlement of the es- tate to remain open for several
 months.
 Cullinan & Mullins took charge of the body after the wreck and finally buried it. As creditors, they applied to the probate court for letters Gf ad- .n1inistration of the estate. Claim Agent W. T. HolIoran for the New Ha- ven road also asked that a conpro- mise settlement be made for a nonai- nal sum. He says no railroad ticket was found on Collins and it cannot be established whether he was an en- ploye of the road or was steal ing ride. In either case the railroad company would not be liable for heavy damages.
 Jude Miller, however, is not satisfied that Collins was not a passenger and his heirs not entitled to damages in connection with his death. He has set a hearing for Monday when, unless heirs of the dead man appear, he will undoubtedly appoint Cu1linan & Nl11- hns administrators of the estate.
 Collins, it will be remembered, was taken from the debris Of the wreck near the tender of the locomotive that drew the local train. He was severely scalded by steam. He was brought to the Bridgeport hospital and he died there that same night. He wore good clothing, covered by a suit of new black overalls.
 He was unconscious when taken from the wreck and remained in that condition with the exception of a. few minutes until his death. Rev. Patrick U. McGdvney, pastor of St. Charles church, gave him the last rites of the church after the hospital surgeons had given him medical treatment He was conscious for a. moment, but in answer to a question of Father Mo Givney said his name was Patrick Collins. He then again lapsed into uneonsciousness and died shortly aif- terWard.
 To one of the young woman attaches of the hospital he said 1is name was Patrick 3Connor. A slip of paper, ap parent1y a piece of an envelope, was found in his pocket with the inscrip- tion, Patrick Connor, 143rd street. New York city, The paper was torn in such a way that the street number was gone. In his pockets was found $2.8o.
