TUBERCULOSIS NOT
 BLAMED FOR DEATH
Compensation Claim Of Widow
 and Children Rejected

No civil liability attaches to the Fafnir Bearing Co. in the death of Joseph Stec, whose widow and minor children entered a claim for compen- sation alleging that he contracted pulmonary tuberculosis while at work in the conpany's plant, Charles Kleiner, acting compensation con- missioner, has ruled.
 The claim of Mrs. Stec and her family was brought to the Compensa- tion commissioner by Attorneys B. J. Monkiewicz of this city and Dennis r. O'Connor of Hartford. The Fafnir Bearing Co. was represented by At torney $. P. Waskowitz. Compensa- ton for one year period of total incapacity preceding his death, medi- cal bills. costs of burial and compcn- sation for the widow and defendant children was sought
 stcc was in the employ of the Fafnir Co. from July 6, 1922 to April 1, 1925 as the tender of an automatic external grinding machine on which were ground metal rings by means of an emory wheel. Stec in the course of his duties placed ar bors on the metal rings on the center of the machine. which was located about three and one half feet above the floor, started the ma chine and then returned to his work bench. which was situat d q dis tance of about six feet from the grinding machine where he prepared new arbors. Tho machine, 1t was testified, was equipped with a water pump which at all time played a stream of water on the work, and underneath the machine was a set ting tank for the water. which held about 60 gallons.
 Witnesses testified thatsthe grind ing machine was in operation about seven Of the 10 working hours or each day. and while it was Tn oper- ation Stec was at his workbench preparing more arbors. He was actually near the machine about two or three hours of the day and while he was the grinder was not in oper- ation, Commissioner Klciner found,
 T. was the claim of the widows attorneys that stone dust and metal lie dust from the emery wheel and from the metal rings produced by the grinding operation were thrown of into the atmosphere and breath d by Stec into his lungs and that the water which was played upon rhe work and which was filled with rtone and metal dust was splashed into his face and taken into his system, and as a result he contracted pulmonary tuberculosis and died,
 Stec was totally incapacitated from April 1, 1925 to April r, 1926, when he died.
 The dependent children who were claimants are: Helen. Edward and Edmund stec, the oldest being four and one-half years, the next three years and the youngest five months old,

late last night and brought into this city this morning.
 The seizure was made by Ensign R. l.. RaiDoy commanding the Block Island headquarters who was cruising the Sound in one of the sta tion's patrol boats.
 A search of the King Fisher failed 10 reveal any liquor, but she was held on technical charges while coast guardsmen started thorough search of the two barges. The master If the vessel is Captain John Baker and the ship carries a crew of 2l men. According to the ships paper there are no licensed men aboard the ship with the exception of Captain Baker and there were other evil donces of violation of regulations found. These matters were turned over 10 the local customs authorities for investigation.
 Find Secret Chamber
 In searching the King Fisher, coast guardsmen found cleverly ar ranged secret compartment beneath the coal bunkers. Although the compartment was empty, guardsmen state that it is capable of holding 5000 cases.
 Several months ago the King Fish ,r was seized by the government for towing q barge containing 5000 cases of Uuuor into Rockland, Me. She was later released.
 TrawIcr Also Seized
 Late last night the patrol boat 2S4 arrived at coast guard headquarters at the State Pier with the fishing trawler, Admiral Schley against which United States District Attorney Emory R. Bucllner of New York has filed a forfeiture action, in tow. The craft was located late yesterday at a wharf near Greenport, L. l., by the 234.
 District Attorney Buckner several days ago requested the aid of coast guard officials in locating the craft, and the Long Island shore was secured by coast patrol boats, When found by the 2S4 the Admiral Schley was deserted and there were no arrests made.
 United States District Attorney Buckner is in possession or evidence that will link the Admiral Schley with the landing of liquor at Port Chester, N Y, and Stamford and Norwalk, Conn. The vessel has been engaged in smuggling liquor since 1923, according to officials. She is the vessel from which Boatswain' Mate Ralph Whitehead and mem- hors of the crew of the patrol boat 1S7. which he commanded, were all lcred to have accepted five cases of liquor last fall.
 Coast Guardsmcn Punished
 Whitehead was convicted by hoard of court martial here of being d,rrlict in his duty in accepting the liguor and is now serving q year in the naval prison at Portsmouth.
