Meskill is on the bench Hereafter the forgetful- ness is pretty likely to have a, de- pressing effect upon the pocketbook of the accused. The warning was given at todaY's session when Jacob Goldberg was fined S3 without costs for violation of the motor vehicle law. Judge Meskill informed the ac- cused that leaving operators licenses in other coats is becoming altogether too frequent and, while the excuse may be entirely true, it does not absOlve the person from responsibility.
 Goldberg was summoned yesterday afternoon by Policeman William F. McCue, who found the automobile standing in front of fire hydrant near the New Britain National bank building on Main street. This charge was not pressed but he was unable to produce his operators license. He had it with him today and explained that it had been accidently left in an- other coat yesterday when he hur- riedly changed his clothing

CHILDREN TO RECEIVE MONEY
Compensation Commissioner Chand- Ter Makes Ruling in Local Case.

In the case Mrs. Mary Pappianni, widow of Antonio Pappianni, who re- ceived fatal injuries in the quarries of the White Oak Crushed Stone company Oct. 25. 1915, dies before the compensation insurance awarded her by Commissioner George B. Chandler is entirely paid the amount remaining will be inherited by her children. This was the ruling of Compensation Commissioner Chand- Ter yesterday upon the re-opening of the case before him at Hartford.
 J. F. Murray of New York, attorney for the respondents, pleaded that Mrs. Pappianni is in i'll health and that if she is granted compensation in partial payments, instead of lump sum, the insurance companies would not lose as heavily in case of her death. In ruling that the chill dren will inherit the compensation in case of death, Commissioner Chandler said that he could not see where there was any gross injustice in his former decision and adhered to the terms of that award.
 The case was re-opened opon re- quest of the respondents. November 22, Mrs. Pappianni was awarded compensation from March IA. 1915, to Novem Der IS. 1915. at the rate of s10 a week and, according to the de- cision, is still to receive $2,339.2o in, lump sum.

RECITAL BY U. s. KERR.
Successful Musical Under Auspices of
 Stanley Church,

A fashionable audience was in at tendance at the South church last evening to hear U. s. Kerr in a song recital. During his selections MT. Kerr was accompanied on the piano by A. w. Burgemeister. The even ing's entertainment was under the auspices of the Stanley Memorial church and it is expected that a large sum will be realized.
 Mr. Kerr possesses a, voice of fair quality with an unusually wide range. While it took him nearly the first half of the program to warm up to his audience, his later numbers were eX- cellently rendered. He was especially good in the "Bonny Fiddler" by Ham, mond and the "Toreador Song" from Carmen. His strong points were a pleasing pianissimo and very clear tones in his high register.
 MT. Burgemeister proved to be both an able and sympathetic accompanist. His only number on the program was a concert Etude by Mcdowell, which was played in a brilliant manner, the pianist being forced to respond to an encore. For this number he rendered Grieg's ITO The Spring" very effec- lively, displaying much artistic tenn perament. Following is the program rendered:
