OWNER OF $I CAFE
 PAYS FINE OF $IOO
Curry's Place, Sexton Claims Has Led All Others in
 Booze Traffic.

Michael Curry, proprietor of a Main street cafe which, the court was told yesterday, was purchased by him for $1, was fined S100 and costs by Judge George w. Klett this morning. The appearance of the owner marked the third successful raid on the premises within a year. each time a different man being charged with having liquor on hand with intent to sell.
 Prosecuting Agent Michael A. Sex ton stated to the court that. in his opinion, there was another place in the city where more liquor was being dispensed and where the prohibition law being violated in a. more au- dacious manner.
 The adjourned case of Leo Skritul- sky was heard but judgment was re- served until Monday morning. Police man Thomas Feeney testified that he and Policeman Cabelus had uncovered three bottles of beer, a quantity of wine and bottle of alleged liquor on the afternoon of May 14. An analysis of the beer showed it to be 5:22 while the alleged liquor was 92:64.
 Skritulsky claimed the beer was in his place for some time but had not been offered for sale. The wine, he said, was of a non-intoxicating brand. The stronger liquid, he maintained was used for cleaning pipes.
 Mildred Connors forfeited a cash bond of $200 in lieu of appearance to answer charges of improper conduct in a Hartford avenue fiat Her male friend Wadislaw Paselkowski, was fined $25 and costs. John Yachone, who had been charged in the same connection with maintaining a house of i'll repute, was freed by noIle of Prosecuting Attorney Albert A. Green berg.
 The case of Frank Paradayko, a Spring street cafe man, was continued one week for an analysis of beer found on his place. A nolle was en- tered in the case of Joseph Lorzenitis. His attorney, Lawyer M. D. Sake, in- formed the court that the federal au- thorities will hear him today at Hart ford. A still and some mash was found on Lorzenitis' premises. He was also charged with assaulting Joseph Shop. Judgment on a $10 fine was suspended.
 Fred Doty was charged with having improper brakes on his car. Doty told the court that he was ordered by his employers Johnson and Son. 1aunder- CTS to take the car in spite of the poor brakes. Prosecutor Greenberg in- formed the court that he would bring the employer in for trial tomorrow.
 Clarence Palmer and Dr. F. Zwick were fined two dollars each for park ing their cars fin restricted areas.

Commissioner Elwell to Be Here Tomorrow - Gate man, Bridge, Change of Tracks Or Removing Ob- structiOns to View Are Possibilities.
Especial to The HeraId.)

Especial to The HeraId)
 Hartford. May 19.-Commissioner Elwell of the Public Utilities Commits sion will be at the Clayton crossing at S:15 o'clock Friday morning to in spect the crossing and secure data for a recommendation for the elim nation of the danger.
 Four Plans
 Representatives Richard Covert and Arthur Rutherford spent this morn- ing going over the Clayton crossing case. and the danger elimination was boiled down to four possible plans. viz:
 IA gateman.
 2-overhead bridge and grades.
 3-Cutting out the 1000 feet of track and doing away with the rails, thus switching the suburban trains onto the main line tracks.
 4-Condemning the buildings along the track after a public hearing in the town of Newington.
 Tentative Opinions.
 The gateman idea has received some momentum, but it is only tenn Lorary way of danger elimination. The cost would be more than the i'm terest on the principal for changing srades.
 Grade Crossing. ! The grade changing and bridge would cost s75.0oo. and the railroad is in no position to pay for this method at present. is the claim. Out Out Track Spur.
 The cutting out of the spur of track would isolate a number of people, and it is thought would bring a storm of protests by the people affected.
 Conforming Buildings.
 The last plan of condemning the buildings which ogstructed the view of the tracks was received tentatively by the commissioners as a logical so- iution of the matter. The Jurisdiction which the state has over buildings along the tracks could only be exer- cised after public hearing in the town where the buildings are located.
 More Action Friday.
 Representatives Covert and Ruther- ford of New Britain and Representa- tive Richard Erwin of Newington will meet Commissioner ElweI at the Clayton crossing tomorrow for further action.

TAFT'S TRIBUTE TO CHIEF JUSTICE
 WHITE, FORMER CONFEDERATE SOLDIER

New Haven, May 19.-Former Pres ident William Howard Taft when in- formed of the death of Chief Justice White said:
 Chief Justice Whites death will be mourned by the whole country. He was one of our great chief justices ana has been always so regarded. A Judge Of the supreme court of Louisiana he was therafter United states senator from Louisiana In his state he fought the good fight against the Louisiana lottery evil. He was appointed to the supreme court of the United States from the senate by President Cleveland, and after IT years of service was in 1910 made chief justice. He had been a lawyer of large practice when he was elected to

the senate and was d iurist of wide
 learning. He was equally familiar with the civil and common law. As a boy he was Confederate soldier and was capturned at Port Gibson; but no judge ever sat on the supreme bench who was more deeply an American loving his country than he. He brought to the discharge of his great duties, an ever-pressing sense of responsibility to the people of the United States in the preservation of the constitution and the maintenance of the public interest and private right as therein balanced He had a great personality and it enabled him to exercise wise influence in the courts. His name is writ large in the constitutional jur- isprudence of this nation.''

HUGHES OR TAFT MAY
 BE PLACED ON BENCH
Also Possibility That One of Present Justices May
 Be Promoted.

Washington, May 19.-(By the As sociated Press)-The choice of a suc- cessor to Edward Douglass White as chief justice of the United States was one of the most widely discussed today in official circles of the capital. AL though the speculation centered chlef- ly about the name of former President William Howard Taft there were many indications that President Hard ing was far from a decision and might find the selection a difficult one.
 One of the first suggestions to come to the surface in private discussions of the subject among the members of the senate which must confirm the nomination was that MT. Taft has dis qualified himself by insisting when he was chief executive that no man over 60 years old ever should be appointed to the highest court. He will be 64 in September.
 Another whose name has just been linked with the post is Secretary Hughes of the state department, member of the court until he retired in 1916 to accept the republican nom ination for the presidency. One cir cumstance which now generally is sug- gested as a barrier to such is the prominence already assumed by MT.
 
 view of the important phases through which the nations foreign affairs are passing. It is known that some of the presidents closest advisors will ask him not to change secretaries of state just as the new administration is f1nd- ing it's way in development of a for eign policy. ....<.
 In some quarters there have been suggestions that a temporary solution of the problem might be reached by promotion of one of the present justices. The names most frequently mentioned are those of Justice Hay of Ohio and Justice Holmes of Massa- chusetts.
 Should promotion be made the va- cancy thus created should be generally expected to go to George Sutherland a former senator from Utah and for mer president of the American bar as- sociation. By selecting a present mem-

 Attention Is called to the increase of s7b3.74s.73 in the net debt of the city during the year. and the increases in the water department and school committee funds.
 The mayor, in another aragraph, commends the new valuation system and explains the benefits to be derived by the increase in the grand list.
 The present system of sewer assess mont, the mayor argues, is a farce. He depreciates the fact that there

cured Up to that time the attend ing physicians had hoped for a rapid recovery after an operation for blad- der trouble. Death was said to be due directly to complications which developed after the operation.
 At the bedside when death came were the wife of the chief justice; his two nieces, Miss Ann Montgomery and Miss Mary Lee Broussard and the Rev. Father s. J. Creeden of Georgetown university who had ad- the early evening.

 According to tentative funeral arr engagements announced today by Frank K. Green, marshal of the su- preme court, who has taken charge interment will take place here in Oak Hill cemetery following simple serv- ices under the Catholic ritual to be held at St. Matthew's church at 10 o'clock Saturday morning.
 Intellectual Giant.
 Chief Justice White, who was a massive figure, had been described as the intellectual as well as the physical giant of the bench" One of the greatest privileges of his position, he often said, was that of dissent, and he frequently used that prerogative with great force and clarity.
 Unswerving in his devotion to duty, the chief justice was con- stantly in attendance at all sessions His physicians said khis high con- cept of duty perhaps hastened his death. They advised him four months ago that he was not we'll and should leave his work for rest and treatment but his reply was that he would rather die than forsake the bench at a time when so many important cases were before the court
 Stricken Six Weeks Ago.
 Six weeks ago the venerable chief justice developed severe cold which made it necessary for him to absent himself from the court but he re- turned within two weeks and on May delivered a vigorous dissent ing opinion in the Newberry case. This was the last opinion he de- livered and it also was his last ap- pearance in court on decision day, for before the next decision day came last Monday he had found it necessary to submit to an operation.
 Newberry Case His Last.
 As recently as the Newberry case the chief justice departed from the usual judicial tenor of the bench to warn against attack upon the fed eral power. He declared that the proposition that congress could not regulate the election of U. s. sena- tors was suicidal one' and he predicted that legislation to cover the point would be enacted.
 Denounces Lever Act
 Thus. in denouncing the form in which the Lever act was drawn he declared that the statute was ''as broad as human imagination" and left to each separate jury "the de- termination of the degree of guilt'' of any alleged vtolator.

 Another apparent error has been brought to light in checking up the section Of the stacker list which is to be published tomorrow. It is the case of young man who saw service in the navy and who, after being dis charged passed the examinations and became a member of the local fire department.
 Of the six names contained in the list. two are believed to be erroneous, they being the one mentioned above and the case of a young man who. as explained ih last nights edition had seen 12 years service.
