 Hearing on Compensation
 Compensation Commissioner George E. Chandler of Hartford. will hold a hearing in the town hall in Plainville Tuesday morning, in the case of the Fafnir Bearing Co, of New Britain vs. r. Ivan Benjamin. The hearing is the outcome of petition from Patrick o'Neil, representing the American Mutual Liability Insurance Co.,, of Hartford. Benjamin was in- jured in the New Britain factory and on order of the commissioner started to receive compensation in January, 1922. The petitioner claims changed conditions of fact.
 Benjamin, who at one time had em- harked on wrestling career of meteoric size, claimed that he had strained the fragments of one arm while doing manual labor at the fac tory. He also claimed that he had injured his side and after a hearing. the compensation commissioner or tered him paid compensation for 52O | weeks, all of which would total a sum of s6,ooo
 Recently Benjamin has been the subject of a great deal of speculation n and about Plainville. He has gone 'iolent at times and has caused near y the entire town to turn out and stop him when he went on rampage. Dn March Fl, payments were stopped y the petitioners and immediately, 8enjamin engaged counsel to fight the ,ase. At a hearing in Hartford last Tuesday, Saul P. Waskowitz of New Britain, appearing for Benjamin, con- ended that the insurance company lad no right to stop payments with ut an order from the commissioner lnd his contention was upheld with m order that the claim be paid. rep esenting sum of s3o9 due him from March until the present time. At that ime, while the hearing was in prog 'essed, Benjamin collapsed and Mir. Chandler thought that would be inad- 'isable to have him come to Hartford gain.
 A long line of medical experts will ppear at the hearing next Tuesday to estify in the case. Dr. Frank Zwick f New Britain, Dr. Diefendorf of New laven will appear for Benjamin and )r. Rice, Dr. Q. c. Weidman and pr. ,aul r. Swett of Hartford will appear or the Tafnir Bearing Co.
 Benjamin at the present time, is ar from being the athlete that he nee was. He is but a shadow of his ormer self, is mental and physical 'reck and the likelihood is that he HI never again be in the limelight 'ith regard to his physical prowess.
