from Dr: Charles D. Bles of New York, who charged $62o for his ser vices from that time until the fol- lowing October.
 The woman, who was not repre- sented by an attorney, did not re- alize the time limit of one year for claiming compensation had eIapSe d and that under ordinary circum- stances her case would be outlawed in the courts.
 The matter came to the attention of Com missioner Bucling gham in Jan uary, 1922. Under the provisions of a Legislative amendment passed by the last General Assembly, which empow- CTS a conn missioner to extend the time for making a claim for compensation from one to two years from the date of injury, Commissioner Buckingham assumed Jurisdiction, heard the case and granted compensation together with bills for medical attendance.
 Tn making his decision, Commis- sioner Buckingham scored Dr. Bles of New York for making an unreaSona.- bio charge for his services, and reduc- ed the phyhsician's bill from s62O to s250 and at the same time ordered reimbursement to the claimant
 Miss Peterson was awarded s1192 a week, one half her wages for total totalling S95.36; $5.96 week, one half of ful1 compensation to be paid for 16 weeks for partial disability, s95.36; $11-92 a week for 234 weeks, representing 15 per cent. loss of the use of her right hand, $27S93; and reimbursement of $260 for physicians fees

Commissioner Buckingham Sets Precedent For ALUUrds

Commissioner Edward T. Bucktng- ham granted a compensation award today that set a precedent in Connectt- cut. By assuming jurisdiction under a recent legislative amendment, he made an award of $729-65 in a case where the claim was not filed until 19 months after the injury had been received. In addition, he reduced the 'unreasonab1e'' charge of a New York physician from $620 to $250 and or dered reiIn nbursement to the claimant
 The award was made in the case of Anna Sophie Peterson of Yonkers, N
 Eugene M. Moore of Greenwich and the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Co.,, of Hart ford. The claimant was employed as a waitress in the Round Hill home of Moore in Greenwich.
 On July 22, 1920, according to the complaint, Miss Peterson was wash ing paint on a shelf in the buffers pantry when she slipped and fell from a box on which she was standing. In the fall she injured her right hand by striking it against a door sill At the time, she was treated by a nurse who was in the house and was later removed to the Greenwich Hospital where she was confined week As a result of the injury, she lost partial use of her right hand.
 The accident was reported to the insurance company by MT. Moore, and the case investigated by an insurance agent who sent the woman to a phy- sictan for examination. Subse- quently, she returned to work on November 1, 1920. Four months later, she started receiving treatments

Monarch Had
 Been Banished By The Allies
Movement To Restore Exiled Ruler To The Throne H a d Gained Some Headway.

Funchal, Madeira, April l. (By the A. P.)-Former Elm peror Charles of Austria Hun gary died today. He was taken i'll at his home in exile on the Island of Madeira slightly more than a week ago.
 Given Last Rites.
 He was first said to be suffering from fever but direct advtceS from Funchal on March 28 announced that his malady was bronchial pneumonia, and later it was stated that he was suffering from pneumonia with cere- bral complications. His condition be- came so serious Wednesday that ex- treme unction was administered.
 Failed to Rally.
 There was some improvement in the former rulers condition Wednes- day night, but he failed to maintain this gain, and Fridays sadvices were that he was growing rapidly worse.
 The illness of the ex-ruler excited widespread sympathy among the mon archists in both Vienna and Budapest. One of the former court physicians started from Vienna in the hope of reaching Funcha1 and attending the ex-monarch, a subscription of several million crowns being raised to defray the expenses, while in Budapest it was. reported that Count Julius Andrassy had sold a famous Rembrandt for 300, 900 francs to assist the exile.

Perkowski Freed
 In City Court

Due to lack Of evidence and the failure of the accused to talk, Jo- seph Perkowski, Railroad avenue, had the charge of responsibility in connection with the death of Helen Hoynecy, IA. also of Railroad ave- nue. nolled in City court today. The girl died at Bridgeport hospital five weeks ago today.
 The girl on her deathbed stated that Perkowski was responsible for her condition but believing that she was going to live refused to put 1t in the form of dying declaration. Wit nesses that say Perkowskt was the man could not be produced by the state and although Prosecutor Garlick made stirring statement of the facts in the case, and stated that he was morally sure that Perkowski was guilty of a criminal act, he could not produce the evidence to support his claims and he therefore left the de- cision to the discretion of the judge. Evidence which had been produced at the coroner's hearing when Perk- owskt was ordered held for crim- ina1 trial could not be produced in court this morning because, of the technicaaities of the law. which rem ders same inadnissable.
 Perkowski was represented by At torney Daniel E. Brennan who did not plead the case. Judge Com1ey then decided that inasmuch as the convincing evidence was not produced to substantfate the case he would have to notle the charge.

EX EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA DIES N EXILE
JURY RETURNS MURDERS VERDICT
March Lion Back
 For An Encore

Escorted by heavy rains and high winds which at times reached almost cyclonic proportions. the March lion enacted roaring exit last night, and returned for an encore today. Contrary to tradition, the past month entered and departed in much the man ner of a raging lion. There was nothing lamb-like about the storm which visited this section during the past two days.
 April is a month of showers and changeable temperature, and the unpleasant prospect of shift ing weather conditions will have to be faced for another 30 days There is some hope however, when one recalls the old adage about April showers bringing May flowers.
 Last nights violent wind and rain storm did comparatively lit tie damage here. Branches were blown from trees, and a number of small signs were ripped from their moorings. Property dam age was slight. A big sign on Connie Lewis bowling alleys in Fairfield avenue was partially fetched away" by the gale, but was hastily secured by means of ropes.
 Today's weather reports indt- cate clearing and not much change of temperature for tomor- row. A snowstorm is visiting it. self upon the Great Lakes States, but will probably miss this sec tion of New England.

Lower Sheep Assessments.

That county assessors in Oregon
will fall into line with the sugges-
ton of the Oregon Wool Growers as
sociation which is to the effect that
valuations for the sheep owned in
the state be kept at "a uniform basis
in the different counties, is the be-
lief of Mac Hoke, secretary of the
association. The local man has re-
ceived replies from letters he sent
to the assessors of Crook, Malheur
and Sherman counties. This tri of
assessors declare their readiness to
keep the valuation of sheep within
the limit of between three and four
dollars head suggested by the as
sociation. Last year there was a
great difference in the assessed valu-
alton of sheep in the different coun-
tiles, the valuations ranging from
three to seven dollars in different
counties. Other counties are expect
ed to fall into line on the stabilizing
J of values.
