 "The two questions that believe Gre the most important at present are transportation and labor. We are con- fronted with a scarcity of efficient help. To meet the labor problem more efficiently, there must be a bet ter cooperation between the employed and the employer"
 He spoke of the transportation prob lem and referred to the condition o1 the New Haven road as problematical with the coming of winter. 'sNew England is like a great biz freight yard," said MT. Higgins. Tt is l important that the freight be handled

Probate Court Orders Sci Aside
Judge Bupee Files Decision in Case of Olivia Case a Maria L. Kazewicz--Was Controversy Over Property in Niantic-Judge Rules Probate Court Had No Power to Issue Orders Complained of.

In a decision filed in the superior court office in this city on Thursday Judge Lucien F. Burpee of the super
 for court sets aside the orders of the probate court in East Lyme in the case of Olivia Case. ct al, vs Maria l.. Kaszewicz. appeal from probate. The case involves property in Mantle left by the late Clara M. Root.
 J The contest arose over the will of Clara M. Root of Hartford and in-
 volved real estate in Pine Grove, Mi antic. Mrs. Root died sintestate and the property went to Mrs. Case. After the settlement of the estate Miss Kas- cewicz of New York stated that she was appointed administratrix.
 The judges decision in the case is as follows:
 In her application to the court of
 probate for East Lyme, which is the basis of the several orders from appellee alleged that the estate of
 Clara M. Root had already been ad-
 ministered. settled, distributed and
 closed in that court. That application is dated July 22. 1915. It is also ad- mitted by both this appellee and the appellants that the administration and settlement of this estate had been completed by the probate court on Oct. 21, 1914. and the real estate dis
 tributed in way on October 22, 1914; anyone.
 In such circumstances the court of probate had no power to make the or ders complained of in this appeal.
 This appellee further alleged and proved that she was appointed exc cutrix of the will of Clara M. Root by he surrogate's court in Brooklyn, New York, on Aug 31. 1914, nearly two months before the final settlement of the estate in the probate court of East Lyme, and nearly a year before she made application to that court for an cillary appointment. It was not de- nied that she knew of the previous proceedings in that court. If she, who
Norwich bulletin., 1916-11-10

is not an inhabitant of this state, had no notice to be present and was not present in the probate court when the estate was settled in October, 1914. she seems to have chosen to waive any right of appeal which she still had in July, 1915. when she made her application for ancillary letters of ad : ministration. But 1t did not appear that she who is not relative of Clara M. Root, has ever had any interest in claim upon her property situated in East Lyme or has in any way been aggrfeved by any order of the probate court. Hence there appears to be no equity in her favor f
 The orders complained of are not ex-parte, nor passed under revoked will, nor relating to a will discov- cred and presented to the probate court before the final settlement of an estate. The order of October 21, 1914, settling the administration account was in the nature of a final judgment and conclusive of all matters involved in it. including the jurisdictional fact of residence. The property of the de- ceased in this state was real estate and it passed to those entitled to 1t by our laws. since it was not needed to pay debts there was not any property in this state to be subject to ancillary administration in July 1915, when this appellee applied for it. She has al- legged that she is interested in the real estate but she has failed to prove the statement, either by showing unpaid debts or claims against the deceased or otherwise. She has been guilty of unreasonable delay in asking for her appointment and sufficient objection to filing and recording of the copies of the documents she presented has been shown.
 There are other objections to some of the orders appealed from. They are all improper and null and void because the court of probate had no power to make them. Therefore. they are all set aside.
 Judgment may be entered accord ingly.

HOW THE BORDER
 SOLDIERS VOTE WENT.
Hughes Got Sixteen of the Forty seven
 Ballots Cast.

In view of the fact that the governor of Connecticut called q special session of the general assembly to pass an act providing for the taking. of the vote; of the Connecticut soldiers on the border; that such vote was taken, and that the cost to the state was Sl66 for each vote so taken, there is naturally consider able interest shown as to how the sol- dierS voted.
 F'orty-seven sealed voting envelopes were brought back from the border by the two commissioners appointed by Governor Holcomb.
 Forty-six of these were accounted for by the town clerks in the various towns and cities to which the soldier vote was credited Of the 46, 26 voted for Wilson, Is for Hughes and did not go into the ballot boxes for vari- ous reasons. The 4T votes were dis tributed as follows:
