MEEHAN CASE IN COURT
Action O: Son Against Mother to Be Tried December 3, in Superior Court

A case of considerable local interest is scheduled in the superior court on December 9, when the action of John r. Meehan against Cecelia Meehan. will come up for trial. The suit is one of son against mother, involving the distribution of the estate of the late Luke Meehan. According to the provisions in the will, the estate was left to the widow, and she was also named eXccutriX. A the time of the proposed admission of the will to the probate court, the plaintiff retained Lawyer B. M. Holden to oppose the admission. Lawyer Hugh M. Acorn represented Mrs. Meehan. The con tention of the plaintiff was that his father was not competent to make a will, for that reason it should not be admitted to probate.
 Judge Bernard F. Gaffney. of the probate court ruled against the con testart. It is the appeal of this decision that will be heard in sll- Derior court. Meehan has secured Judge F. E. Hungerford and Lawyer E. M. Holden in his interests, while Mrs. Meehan will be represented by Lawyer Hugh M. Alcorn. Judgment will mean that the estate of Luke Meehan is intestate, while ;G decision upholding the admission of the will, will mean the carrying out of the provision in the will.

 Ensign Eichstaedts appointment is probably the most important appoint ment given any local man in the service of the United States navy and was partially due to the fact that he is familiar with the German and French languages.

J|TNEY DRIVER IS
 HAILED INTO COURT
Owner Of West Main Street Bus
 Warned Not to 0VerCrOWd Car

With the understanding that buses arc not to be crowded over their seat ing capacity in the future, Judge James T. Meskill suspended Judgment in the case of William Belkln, Who appeared at the police court 'hiS morning to answer the charge ol oNer- croWdmg his bus last evening.
 Bcll<in was arrested by ot1lrer Strolls shortly after 6 O'CLOCK i1'' evening when it is said, Rclkln, who operates large bus between rl'''''- VillC and New Britain, had ms r,'' filled beyond it's seating capacity. lhe bus seats 16 people while the olllcHr counted 70, several standing up.
 Judge r. B. Hungcrford. who ap- peared for Belkin, brought out the fact that this ease was the first one of it's kind in the local police court since the jitney business was eSta bliShed and read the statute which. provides that any concern or owners allowing any motor powered vehicle to be OVer-' crowded beyond seating capacity shall be fined. The judge stated that in this case trOlleNS, trains or any other motor vehicles should have been pros ecutcd as over-crowding conditions prevail almost daily on street cars and trains.
 Tn summing up the case Attorney Hungeford asked that leniency be shown as it was the first offehse and in the future the bus driver promised not to violate the law. Judge Mes kill, in giving his decision, stated that although the statute provides that no motor powered vehicle shall be over- crowded beyond it's seating capacity. jitneNS are more dangerous when crowded than street cars or trains. He warned the bus driver that in the fu- ture he should take just enough pas sengcrs to make the seating conditions comforta ble.
 Fine for Drunkenness.
 A fine of $5 was imposed upon Mi chael Panis of Broad street, who was arrested early yesterday evening on the charge of drunkenness and breach of the peace. Panis pleaded guilty to being drunk and stated that he did not start trouble in his home, Probation Officer Connolly took charge of him.
