COMM SsIONER DIsMISsEs
 COMPENSATION CLAIM.
Finds No Connection Between Mans
 Condition and Injury Described.

In a finding announced on Tuesday afternoon Compensation Commissioner J. J. Donohue has distni ssed the claim of compensation in the case of Case Lemontang of Water street New Lon don, against the Thomas Express and Transfer company of New London. The case was heard at the commissioners office in this city on Monday. It is found from the testimony of the claim ant that on Dec 19, 1916, he was work Ing for the respondent company, who are engaged in the trucking business, and that while lifting a bag of cement
 he felt something give way in his right side, the injury occurring about 5 o'clock. The next morning a physi- clan was called to attend the claimant a4d upon advice of the physician he entered the Lawrence hospital
 From the history of the case it ap- pears that the claimant was suffering from a cold at the particular time when he thinks he felt something give which as a matter of fact was un- coubtedly nothing more nor less than a pleuritic pain, and the ultimate his tory of his case appears to reveal that he had been suffering from pIeurisy which resulted in an empyerna, for later necessary in order to remove the pus. There is nothing about the his tory of the case, says the commission CT in his finding, which would lead me to conclude that lung abscess was brought about by any injury such as the claimant described on the day in which he claims disability occurred The claim for compensation is dis missed

 Cooperate With Navy League.
