DlSALLoWs CLAIM IN
 WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION

The claim of Frank Morin of North Stoningten against Charles NJ. Saun- ders of Hope Valley. R. l.. for com Pensation under the Werkmen's com pensation act has been disauowed by Compensation Commissioner J. J. Deaehue after q thorough investiga- ton and hearing on the matter. Com missioner Donohue's finding is as fol- lows:
 On Dec. P, 1919, while working as wood chopper in the town of North Stonington the claimant received an injury of cut on the left les, caused by striking same with an axe while chopping down tree.
 Said injury resulted in a disability covering a period of about six weeks, and the claimant resumed work the latter part Of January, 1920.
 Claim for compensation was made on Jan. 20: 1920, against the respond ent as employer and no agreement having been made between the par ties at interest and the respondent q hearing was requested that the matter might be heard and deter mined.
 From the evidence it is found that the respondent runs a saw mill, that he made a contract with one Nal colm Thompson to cut a wood lot for him 1n the town of North Stonington Accordingly he moved his saw mill to the lot and arranged for the drawing of the logs to the mill and the saw ing of the logs by his own men, whose operations he intended to su- perintend personally. The cutting of tinct piece of work and he made a contract with man by the name Of George Gagnon to take care of this part of the work.
 It is found th%t this Gagnon en- ployed several men to cut down the trees in the wood lot in question. among them being the claimant, and it was while claimant was employed by said Gagnon that he received his injury
 The testimony shows that Saunders had no control over claimant or any of the men employed by Gagnon, and that Gagnon was an independent coh- tractor.
 Gagnon hired the claimant and paid him for his services and had the pow CT to discharge him, and he also di- rected him as to his work, and he was the only party who exercised these powers.
 It is also found that said Gagnor did not have at the time of claim ants injury a sufficient number oi men in his employ to to bring him within the scope of the workmen' $ compensation act.
 The contract made between the re. spnndent and said Gagnon was thar the wood lot should be cut for cer- i tain specified sums, 80 much %pel thousand for the lumber and so mucF piece for each tie, according tc specifications.
 The arrangement subsequently, made between Gagnon and the claim ant was that he should be paid s40l per day for his services.
 In view of the testimony, it i. found that Saunders was not the em- ployer of Morin at the time of hi, injury and that the man for whom he was working did not have a suffi. cient number of men in his emplo, to bring him within the scope of tn, act
 Whereupon, the claim for compen. sation is hereby disallowed.

When the yagrant hat had been re- covered the conductor rang the bell and the trip was finished 10 New Lon don without further incident, but the legal party reached court -about an hour and half late. Court proceed ings had necessarily been held up till they could get there although both liti- ga1lts and other witnesses in the case were on hand. having selected other means of travel to reach New London in time.
 Another trip on the MoatviIle troll ley line that reached New London aft CT various vicissitudes was the 11.45 trip from here. It left on time. but had it's first troubles just south of Fitch's corner where the line car had the track blocked because it was stall ed with the snow so tightly packed under it that the ear could not move.
 Shovels were brought into play by the line car crew to dig themselves out but before this had been accom- plisned, car was sent up from the Uncasville switch and the passengers transferred into this and proceeded on their way, leaving the line ear crew still struggling with the snow.
 Everything went well until the fla tai spot in Waterford was reached. Here the snow blow and a car were found still blocking up the cut. After another wait, there was another trans fer to the car on the other side of the blockade. In order to get into the second car, the passengers had to climb down al five foot bank of snow. Most of the women passengers had to be lifted from the top of the snow bank and swung onto the platform of the car.
 On this trip two of the passengers most interested in the progress of the car were bride and groom who were on their way to catch the l 20 train from New London for Boston on their honeymoon trip. They had caught the car only after a desperate chase down Thames street and West Thames street in an autonSbile, blocked frequently by. teams that got across the track and compelled the automobile to do acroba .ic feats in climbing snow hanks. SD that they thought they had had their share of difficulties, without the performances by the trolley car. They reached New London fifteen minutes after their train time but hustled down to the New London station in the hope that good luck might possibly be with them in making their train a triie late.

BEGINS THIRD TRIAL OF CRANEY NS. DONOVAN

Trial of the suit of John F. Craney Of this city against John Donovan, also of Norwich, for S10,000 damages for libel and islander, was begun in the superior court at New London on Wenesday morning before Judge John H, Kellogg and a jury. The oeginning of the trial was delayed about an hour and a half owing to the non arrival of attorneys and witnesses from Norwich who had been delayed on the trolley line by snow blockades
 Joseph D. Harris, John A. Yeomans, Dr. George A. Comeau and George R. Bruce were the witnesses called to the stand in the morning in the order named by Attorneys Roderick N. Douglass and Joseph T. Tanning, counsel for the plaintiff. Their testf- mony related to what had been told them by Mir. Donovan of an incident on July g. 1912, when he claimed he caught MT. Craney and Mrs. Willard Church in a compromising position in Mir craney's office in the Alice build ing. The witnesses were cross exam ined by Attorneys John H. Barnes and Mayor ]. J. Desmond, counsel for MT. Donovan.
 In the afternoon session of court Charles F. Whitney testified to what Mr Donovan had told him about the incident referred to- and he was fol- lowed on the stand by MT. Craney, the plaintiff.
 Attorney Douglass showed to Mir. Craney about a score of postal cards and letters which had been exhibits in previous trial of the case. Mir. Cra- ney identified them as postal cards and letters which he had received or had been received by members of his

In one case one of the letters or cards had been written by MT. Donovan with his left hand. The material on the cards and in the let ters is important in substantiating the slander claims
 MT. Craney was still on the stand when court adjourned to this (Thurs- daF1 morning at 19 o'clock.
 The jurors chosen in the case were the following: New London. Herman H. Appledorn, Calvin A. Beebe. Joseph T. Chapman: Groton. Ralph o. Allen, Arian C. Hewitt Stonington.

DRIFTS MAKE TROUBLE FOR TROLLEYS


 Swirling winds that piled the snow into drifts oyer the trolley tracks in. various places added to the troubles of the Shore Line Electric railway in this city and on the suburban lines in this neighborhood Wednesday,. Trolley service was uncertain as car crews struggled with the snow that the wind heaped over the tracks, and difficult ties were further increased when the snowplows that were sent out to keep the lines clear were themselves caught in the grip of the unyielding snow that packed down hard on the tracks and lifted blows and cars clear off the rails.
 On the West Side line beyond Ma pies corner the drifting snow com pelled an abandonment of the service to Backus corner and beyond.
 On the Taftville line, the snow drift ed so badly that attempts to use both lines of the double iron were given up, and the service through Taftville and Greeneville was maintained by using only the easterly rail The westerly rail was buried under snow
 The Jewett City line also suffered from drifts. but possibly the section of the road worst crippled by the asses of feathery whiteness that were piled up by the EInd was the M0ntTllte line, where the chief trouble was encourt cred all day long in the cut near Wa terford switch.
 The S.45 car from here had it's troubles when it reached this point for it found there a snoWplow stalled and car off the track. The plight of the car had a far reaching effect, for among the passengers which it car ried were the largest part of the at torneys and witnesses in the trial of the Craney vs. Donovan case which was due to begin in the superior court at New London at 10 o'clock. The attorneys on the car included Mayor J. J. Desmond, Roderick N. Douglass and John H. Barnes while the witnesses included Joseph D. liar ris. John A. Yeonaans, Dr. George A. Comeau and George R. Bruce. After a long wait the passengers were noti- fled that there was a car on the other side of the blockade into which they could transfer to complete their trip to New London. In making the trans fer to the other car, a gust of wind grabbed the hat from the head of one of the witnesses and sent it flying down over the snow covered fields with it's owner in pursuit after it.

THIN PEOPLE
 NEED BITRO-
 PHOSPHATE Increases Weight, Strength and Nerve Force in Two Weeks Time in Many
 Instances.

Take plain phosphate is the ad- vice of these physicians to thin. deli- cate. nervous people who lack vim. energy and nerve force, ana there seems to be ample proof of the efficacy of this preparation to warrant the rec onmendation. Moreover. if We judge from the countless prepara tions and treatments which are continually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people feshy, developing arms, neck and bust and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft cnrved lines of health and beauty. there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thin ness.
 Thinness and weakness are often due to starved nerves Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this de- ficiency so well as the organic phos- phste known among druggists as bitro- phosphate which is inexpensive and Is sold by Lee &5 Osgood and most all druggists under a guarantee of satis- faction or money back.
