JITNEy WENT 175 FEET AFTER STRIKING BOY Two New Witnesses Sc Swear Today Before
 Coroner.

The jitney which struck and killed Elmer Ogden, Jr., on Christmas Day at Stratford avenue and Pembroke street ran over 175 feet after it hit the boy, two new witnesses in the case told Coroner Phelan today. Spencer B. Peck, 29 Maiden Lane, said he saw the car, driven by Dominick Reale, go almost to the corner of Maiden Lane and Pembroke street, after the boy had been hit The stopping place is between 175 and 1SO feet beyond the scene of the fatality, he said. John Schneider, 105 Linen avenue, thought the Jitney went about the same distance.
 ReaIe had previously claimed his car went only a short distance after hitting young Ogden. He went back on the stand today and said he thought the new witnesses were mis- taken about the distance. He first said he did not know he hit the boy when his car had gone some distance beyond the point of the accident and that he went back to the scene be- fore he was informed of what had happened. Later he changed his story and said that after he reached the corner of Maiden Lane he was told of the accident and then drove back to where the body was. The coroner reserved his finding.

PROTEST BADESH PARTICIP PATINC IN
 TRUSTEE ELECTION
Claim Made That He Does Not Represent Any of
 Creditors

Considerable excitement was created this morning in the bankruptcy court when objection was made to Attorney Solomon Badesch taking part in tn first meeting of the creditors of the East India Tea company.
 Attorney Badesch has been conduct ing an investigation into the affairs of the East India Tea company and it's president, William H. Benzel, before Jacob B. Klein, Special Master of the United States District Court, for the past few weeks.
 Attorney Joseph Shapiro objected to Attorney Badesch taking part in the election of a trustee this morning on the ground that Attorney Badesch did not represent any of the creditors of the bankrupt.
 Over $61,OOO in claims were filed with the referee and Shapiro & Sha- piro represented over $59,000 of this amount. Attorney Badesh claimed to represent the assignee of three claims, but as they had not beer filed with the court, Referee Bank; ruled that Badesch had no author fty to take part in the election ot trustees.
 David Strouse of New Haven; Fred s. Morgan of this city, and C. M. Ingersou of Stamford, were elect ed trustees They were ordered to file bonds of $20,000 each.

CLAIM ELDER
 HAD NO RIGHT
 TO GIVE TITLE
New Locks Were Placed on Church Doors Barring
 Out Members.

Claiming that former Elder Jam es H. Williams conveyed the church premises to Annie Simmons without placed on the doors so that church members were unable to hold services there, the Church of God and the Saints of Christ of this city has started suit against William and Annie Sim mons. In papers filed today in the Superior court a reconveyance of the property and damages of $1,000 are asked.
 It is alleged that in 1908 the church mortgaged the premises to Frank Mill Ter and that the property was held in the name of Williams, as trustee for the church.
 It is claimed the mortgage debt was paid to Miller who gave a quit claim deed back to Williams. The premises are on Charles street.
 The complaint states that Williams although he had no right to the property as an individual, conveyed the property to Annie Simmons, who now holds possession. Williams was elder of the church and conducted services there until November 1 last It was after that date that the locks are said to have been changed. The church wants the court to declare the conveyance to Annie Simmons void and to order the premises re- conveyed by Williams to George H Gibson, present elder of the church

f. 5. SHELTON QUITS; SERVED CONNECTICUT
 NATIONAL 43 YEARS
mpleteReorganization of Officials of Financial Institution by Commit tee = T. L. Cumming With Bank 20 Years Has Also Quit His Position.

A complete reorganization of the Connecticut National bank officials is under way now, it was made known this morning when it was discov- cred that Hamilton $. Shel- ton, with the bank for 43 years, had resigned with T. IL. Cumming, the assistant cashier and on the bank s staff for over 20 years. A committee has been appoint ed from the board of direct OTIS to select a new president and seemingly reorganize the entire staff.
 The committee which will reorgan- ize the banks affairs consists of FL mer H. Ravens, Judge Morris B. BearGsley, Henry A. Bishop, and A. H. Bullard.
 It has been rumored here for sev- era1 weeks that William E. Burnham,
 
 Hamilton Shelton as president, but MT. Burnham this morning denied the rumor and said that he would have nothing to do with the place even if he was considered by the directors as a candidate. He intimated that he had been in poor health for the last few days and the press of his personal affairs forbdds taking any such posi- ton.
 Ita was stated this morning that the resignation of two of the banks off, fcers was due to a plan which has been materializing for over year by which new and younger blood was to be imported into the banks affairs. MT. Shelton has been desirous Of re- signing for about two years, it was stated, and his il1-health this winter brought the matter to a head and re- this morning that MT. Cumming left about a month ago as soon as he saw that the reorganization was in prog. resS.
 Just how far the changing of off, cials may go could not be ascertained this morning but it is thought that the committee of four may recom- mend a complete change of regime.
 The officers of the bank are: Vice president, Henry A. Bishop; cashier L. B. Powe; assistant cashier, E. E. Dilliston; directors, Hamilton S Shelton, Henry A. Bishop, Morris B Beardsley, w. F. Burnham, Willis F Hobbs, A. H. Bullard, Elmer H. Ha vens. Louis B. Powe, H. H. DeLoss Sumner Simpson and R. W. Cogs we'll.
 It is understood that MT. Shelton Dlans to retire and MT Cllmuines will take up duties in another city.

 REAL GAS MASK

Pittsburg, Dec. 30.-It is claimed that the first gas mask based upon the use of charcoal for the absorp- ton of highly poisonous gases from the atmosphere, the principle which in actual practice was so valuable to the armies in the world war, was made by the late Mrs. J. B. Garner of Pittsburg This statement is made at the Mellon Institue of Research here.
 Mrs. Garner, the wife of the direc- tor of research of an important nat ural gas company here. became inter- ested in the experiments her husband was conducting in connection with the gases which at that time, early in 1915, had appeared on the battle fields of Europe.
