 That the death of Park Commis- sioner Albert F. Rockwell will have no effect on the suit involving mill ! lions of dollars relative to patent rights on ball bearings, which he | had brought against the New De- parture Mfg. Co.,, is the opinion of local people connected with the case, | The rearguments in the suit will take | place the first Tuesday in March be- fore the supreme court of errors, as a decision to present new arguments was agreed upon after the supreme court had found error In the super for court awards to MT. Rockwell short time ago. The superior court gave him about $35,O0O while the finding of an error in this decision by the supreme court gave him a sum reputed to be in the millions. As the exact amount is matter of | accounting, the total is not known.
 Mrs. Rockwell has applied for | papers of administration on her hus- ] bands estate and hearing on the matter will be held in the probate court here at 10 o'clock on Wednes- day morning.
 Want Medical Bill Passed. | Passage of the medical bill pend- ing before the state legislature will be urged by members of the Bristol club, according to a vote taken last night following a survey of the medi- cal situation in the state by Champe c. Andrews of New Haven. It was also voted to notify the two representatives from this city, Judge Epaphroditus Peck and Arthur S. Barnes, of the clubs decision and also to notify the judiciary commit tee of the legislature of the wishes of the members.
 Medical standards were discussed by Mir. Andrews, who Is former New York attorney, now engaged in practice in New Haven. He asserted that this state had become dump ing ground' for medical fakirs of all descriptions until the expose of a year ago had cleared the situation materially. So far had the medical repute of the state fallen, he de- clared, that a certificate to practice medicine here was not recognized in any other state except Kaasas. Even men and women without high school certificates had been allowed to prac- tice here, he declared. He drew a vivid picture of the laxity in this 1 commonwealth in regard to the healing arts, citing official reports of State Referee Marcus HolcomMin the recent medical school scandal in which electic physicians were scored.
 MT. Andrews had prosecuted of- lenses against the medical acts in New York for seven years and con- sequently has comprehensive knowledge of the medical standards of New York as well as other states. His talk aroused favorable comment. After the talk, a luncheon was served
