Because David N Gordon. president
of the American Waste and Metal cor
poration OF New London was elected
from the auction sale of the Reed
Prentice Co. factory there on Dee.
&c, 1918, and was deprived of bidding
ct the auction. the metal company is
bringing a suit for $3.50 dana ges
aGainst J. E. Conant & Co., the auc-
t1oneers.
In the complaint which was filed
with the clerk of the superior court
here on Thursday, the. plaintiff al
lcges that the auction was public ana
unrestricted and that, Mr.. Gordon had
deposited a certain check for security
for such purchases as he should make.
It is alleged that he was elected at
the direction OF Mr., Conant and THAI
the auctioneer stated that the Ameri-
can Waste and Metal Corporation
does not pay its bills for, whatever
they buy and their bid Will not be
taken any more today"
As a consequence of this the plain
tiff claims he has suffered Impaired
credit, and the right to be a bidder at

ped-but my impression is thai the
guard rail stopped where the radius
81, the curve changed. @. Then about
where would that be upon your map?
A Il, would be about where the let
ter W in the word Company" is;
about opposite the northwest line of
Grove street. or Immediately north
west OF opposite. (The point thus in
dicated being some so or so feet south
erly of the point of deraiImen). And
this testimony he positively reatfirms
q moment later.
The cross examination tended. per
haPs, to indicate possibilities as to the
witness being mistaken, but, it seems
to me- did not weaken his sAtement
Is to d very positive impression in re-
gard to the matter. The witnesses Pal
fner and GIinan, called by the defense
gave, it is true, contradictory testi
nony. But the testimony of all three
must be regarded in the light of the
admitted fact. that shortly after the
accident, the track was relaid and
somewhat changed. and particularly
in view of the suggestion in the testi-
mGny of the witness Pitcher, above
quoted, of a change in the radius Of
the curve at the point where he testi-
fed that the old guard rail stopped.
On the whole, I cannot say that, as
reasonable men, the jury might not
have come to the conclusion that lha
weight of testimony upheld the plain
tiff's contention
The second proposition now called
in question. that the absence of the
guard rail was the cause of tire &C
cident, could hardly be made the sub
ject of direct testimony. The witness
Pitcher testified: @. This guard rail
that you speak of what is the par
pose of that guard raiI7 A So. if
& car happens to jump the track, II
will hold it from going away; and also
as kind of guard to ease the cars
around the curves. @. Then it is
used as security on curves. IS it? \.
Yes. sir. Q. You call it guard? The
purpose of it is what with reference
| to car and track? A. To held the
cars to the track.
1t is not disputed that, if the guard
rail did not extend all along the Curve
to the beginning of the straight track
| this would be improper construction
| So we have a case where there was
nesiigence in the absence of the very
| safeguard which is designed to prevent
| the accident which did actually occur
| 1t seems to me that there was basis
| for a reasonable inference that Ia:
absence did cause the accident, Dono-
yan vs., Connecticut Company. Sc
I cannot say that the amount Of the
verdict is so large as to justify the
| court in setting it aside or reducing
lit.

DOYLE VERDICT UPHELD BY JUDGE

The verdict Of s2,750 given in favor
of Mrs. Ellen Doyle OF this eitv in her
suit against the Shore Line Electric
Railway company is to stand, accnTd :.
ing to finding given on Thursday by
Judge W. M. Maltbie upon the motion
to set aside the verdict. He declines
either to set aside or reduce the YER
diet and points out that the absence
OF guard rail on the trolley track
on Mckinley avenue near Grove street
is a vital point and that here is a
case showing the absence OF the very
safeguard Which was designed to pre-
vent the accident that did actually
occur.
Mrs. Doyle sued for $4,000 DANA ges
for the injuries she received when she
was thrown to the floor Of trolley
car when the car jumped tie track
and ran into the wall in front of the
house belonging to 3. c. Hannis at Ii
Mckinley avenue. His finding follows:
The theory most favorable to the
plaintiff upon which to test this yer
dict in the light of the jurys answers
TO the inteTroga tories, seems 10 me to
he the following: One Ut the cobblc-
stones between the rd1fs became
raised somewhat in its POSITION in he
pavement. but this did not show neg
ligence on the part oe the defendant,
the motorman fai!et 10 notice this,
but this did not constitute negligence
on his part; the casn2s of the mo-
tors on the car We're So hung as TO
come in contact With this stone, but
this was not negligence IN its con-
struction; this contact caused the clr
10 be raised so thai the DANCES On the
wheels failed to keep it on the rails !;
there was no guard rail at the point
III question; the absence OF the guard
rail constituted negligence III the con
sTruction of the track. and this alb
sence was the cause of the derailrne1lt.
Viewed i'll the light If this theory,
the defendant attacks the verdict on
two grounds; first, because there was
no evidence from Which the jury could
I1 operly find that there was no guard
rail at the point of dcrailrnent; and,
second, that they could not properly
find that the absence of the guard rail
caused the derailment.
The plaintiff relies, as to the first
Of these propositions upon the testi-
mony of the witness Pitcher. a civil
engineer apparently of standing, and
enc whose work had brought him moro
or less in contact With the constitute

THE NEW TEMPLE.

The committee consisting of Messrs.
Sam Joseph, Herman Lederman and
Rabbi Fox, with the architect, j. j.
Pollard, have agreed on the plans
to be submitted to the Building Com
mittee and then the Congregation for
the new Temple. 1t will be one of
the handsomest structures Of its kind
in this part Of the country. The
plans include besides the Temple au-
ditorium, a gymnasium with shower
baths and lockers, community house
with reception rooms for the ladies',
a reading room for boys, billiard
and pool room, a number of Sabbath
school rooms, large and small dance
hall, two kitchens, the rabbis study,
and club rooms. The Temple and
Sabbath school facilities, together
with the club-room Accommodations will
make the whole n complete centre for
Jewish religious and social life.
The entire membership Of the con-
gregation is extraordinarily enthus-
ed, and it is expected that ground will
commence to be broken within thirty
or sixty days.
A feature Of the community house
that is being advocated is roof-gar.
den for summer meetings. Thi:
feature has not yet been decided upon
