Conn. Supreme Court Rules He Had Right to Collect Salary for Work.

New Haven, July 3--The Connecti cut supreme court, in a decision an nounced last night, finds error in thu superior. court decision which deniet to Frank $. Butterworth, state treas urer of the American Legion the right to use part of the state funds for disabled war veterans for his per sonal salary and other expenses of ad- ninistering the state fund.
 The decision in effect vacates q per manent injunction granted by Judge l.. P. w. Marvin on May ? last re- straining Butterworth from receiving salary of $500 a month from the funds for his work in disbursement of the money to needy veterans. The plaintiff in the case as it reached the supreme court was Harvey P. Bissell state comptroller. Joined with But terworth as defendants were Govern or Everett J. Lake, Attorney General Frank F. Healy, State Treasurer c H. Gilpatrick and Connecticut depart ment of the American Legion.
 Income From Fund Tied Up.
 For several months Butterworth and other officers of the legion have been aided financially by business organizations and corporations in or der that payments to disabled vet erans might be kept up. The litga- ton has tied up the income from the state fund of s2.5oo,ooo.
 Butterworth is a former Yale foot ball star At his home in Hamden, last night he said he was highly pleased with the decision of the su- preme court. The opinion was writ ten by Justice Lucien F. Burpee and all concurred. It says that extra du- ties are imposed on the treasurer of the American Legion under the law which provides for the fund for dis abled veterans and the treasurer is re- ouested to handle and disburse large sums of money. This is not done to keep up or benefit the Legion, the opinion says, and the salary is paid for services rendered the state. The opinion holds that all reasonable charges and expenses incurred in ad- ministering the fund must be allowed and compares the handling of the fund with the management of trust fund.
 Tt is immaterial that no express provision for such charges and ex- perses has been made by the ere ator of the fund" the opinion says.
 Injunction Was Granted.
 The case began last year when the state board of control called Butter worth before it and asked him about the $500 a month salary he was re- ceiving as administrator of the fund.
 The temporary injunction was granted the last year; a few weeks later arguments were made on mo- ton to dissolve the temporary injunc tion, and on February Is Judge Malt bic gave a decision refusing to dis solve the injunction.
 In the meantime, State Comptroller Bissell had filed a motion to be joined as plaintiff in the last. On behalf of the defense a motion was made to have the governor, the attorney gen. eral and the state treasurer as mem-
