TENANT MUST PAY BILL FOR DAMAGES
Judge xdloy Uphods Land.
 lofd's Claim for Reimbursement

Judge Thomas J. Molloy of the court Of common pleas has handed down . decision in favor of the plaintiff in the case Of Michael Chle- bowicz against Joseph Waskiewicz, which went to him on an appeal by the defendant from the finding in favor of the plaintiff. by Judge w. c. Hungerford in the city court of New Britain. Judge Hungerford or dered the defendant to pay SIS. The controversy had its beginning when Waskiewicz sued Chlebowicz for $500, alleging conversion of ar ticles left in a. tenement at 199 Glen street, and recovered a jude- ment for $1 damages and $l costs. Chlebowicz brought suit against Waskiewicz, alleging that the latter Tad damaged the tenement while oc cupying it, and in his decision, Judge Molloy has the following to say:
 This is an appeal from the judg- ment of the city of New Brit ain wherein the court held the de- fendant liable for the condition in which they left the tenement occu- pied by them in the plaintiffs prem- iseA. 199 Glen street, New Britain. This court concurs in the conclusion of the New Britain court that after an occupancy of less than two years they left tho tenement in a disorder ly. filthy and damaged condition, far to exceed any condition contem- plated by ordinary wear and tear.'
 This court is we'll aware that a tenant may leave a tenement disor- derly and perhaps filthy and yet per haps not be liable, but where in ad : dition to the dirt and filth described by the plaintiffs witnesses there i. added much evidence of what is ap- parently . total disregard of some degree of care in the usage of the tenement in question, the conclusion is almost irresistible that the de- fendants deliberately intended the conditions found. The evidence shows no regard for the proper use of toilet facilities and electrical fix lures. It is proper of course to use walls to hang pictures upon, but why mutilate those walls with nails and holes in the plaster. Why write upon the wall paper? Why use a kitchen to such an extent that stren uous efforts have to be made to get the grease and dirt out of the floors and S-alls? A landlord is entitled to some protection from this class ot tenavt who has no regard at all for the property it is occupying. Pay ing rent does not entitle a tenant | to so live in dirt as to result in what cannot be considered by any stretch of the imagination ordinary wear and tear.' A tenant must use a tenement in such manner that no substantial injury shall be done through any negligent or wilful mis- conduct on his part. The instant case is a practical illustration of the policy some people pursue in life of absolute indifference to the rights ot others. When such a way of life can be dealt with effectively, 1t ought to be 50 done.
 Judgment is therefore directed for the plaintiff 10 recover the amount of his renair bills, with in- terest. totaling t127."
 Attorney Thomas F. Mcponough represented the plaintiff and Attor- rey B. J. Monkiewicz represented the defendant

REMOVING DEBRIS
 AT SOUTH CHURCH
Insurance Adjustas Expected to
 Visit Building Tomorrow

A large staging erected by work men employed by William H. Allen Co. Inc, in front of the ruins of the Philip Corbin memorial organ at tho South Congregational church. other workmen removing pews. tenn porary guard rails and danger signs. and cleanup squads removing water soaked carpet and floor paper. spoke eloquently today of the catastrophe which visited the South church Sun day morning, when fire destroyed the organ and did damage estimated at $lsn.0O0 to the structure.
 No further investigation is being made into tho source of the blaze, the fire department report of saw dust and sweepings on a hot furnace pipe being accepted as tho actual cause.
 The work of reclamation is being held up pending the arrival of ap- praisers and insurance adjusters. An appraisal Is expected to be made to- morrow.
 Two more casualties were noted today when Fireman Arthur Gau- dette of Company No. 3 reported oh duty suffering from a wrenched back and Fireman William Frey Of Com pany No. from . sprained finger, sustained at the firs Sunday. This makes four men injured while fight ing the blaze. including Chief Will liam J. Noble, who injured . knee
 William Bomba, who was slightly overcome by smoke while removing the motion picture flms from the booth, was not the actual operator of the machines but aids tho regular operator. At the Sunday evening motion picture services and on Fri day evenings when the machinei were operated they were in charge of Arthur N. Rutherford. . member of the church and volunteer oper- ator. MT. Rutherford is licensed te operate machines.
 No final decision has been arrived at concerning the proposed resump, ton of Sunday evening services This will be taken up at . meeting of church officials.
 Rev. Dr. George W. C. Hill, pas tor, who has been i'll for more thar | week, is reported as being inn proved today.

would hurt chances of getting any material increases.
 The president insists upon the cruisers, 1t is said, 50 tho United States may have . bargaining point at the 1891 conference, when cruis- CT limitation will be the chief con- sideration. Opposition of France and Italy to abolition of tho submarine will prevent the submarine question from being raised at the conference, 1t was believed. Tho United States. therefore. would not need to bargain on this point, and can consider a submarine building program later.
 3S Proposed Cruisers
 The 25 cruisers proposed would cost S40o, 100000 approximately. and the additional personnel and airplanes necessary for them would not run tho figure much over $5oo,- 100000. It was estimated the 71-ship program. proposed, including build- ing now going on. would cost $l.- 300, 100000 over the nine-year con- struction period. 1928 to 1s37. The annual appropriations bringing the total up to $4.:o0.ooo.O0 spproxi- mately. The $500. 100000 figure will not look 70 large to the taxpayer, it was pointed out.
 The opinion was expressed today that congress probably would not authorize more than 15 cruisers. and that President Coolidge set the high fgufe in order that the compro- mise would not go below Is. That number would bring the cruiser tom nags of tho United States up to the 100000 ton limit proposed at the recent Geneva conference.
 The committee today heard rep resentatives of shipbuilding con- cerns. who gave it estimates of cost on the new construction proposed.

MASS. UTILITIES
 REGULATION ASKED
Otherwise Public 0Hnaship Ny
 Result Witness TSti68

Boston. Feb. 14 0-Public own- ership or control of gas and electric utilities will result if means of reg ulatinE the operations of these con- cerns is not found, Henry c. Att will. state commissioner of public utilities declared today before the legislative committee on power and light.
 Mir. Attwill addressed the com mittee at a hearing upon . bill recommended by his department for regulation of the public utilities The bill would permit the companies to readjust their stock in order to capitalize premiums and undivided profits and would provide for con tractual relations between tho con- panies and the state, while subject ing the utilities to such rates and charges as the commonwealth might prescribe under certain conditions
 MT. Attwill said he realized that counsel for the utilities would ad- vance with ghoulish giee" the argument that the departments bill was unconstitutional.
 Constitutional law" he continued lis largely determined in the last analysis by public opinion. A true economic theory will never be stopped by any decision of any court in this land.
 I've ought not to be timid in ax- sertinE the right that when we grant to a monopoly tho right and privilege to carry on . state and governmental function we should also have the right to impose con ditions on that utility"
 Peter J. Neiligan, city solicitor oi Cambridge. supported the depart ment's bill.
 John H. Fahey, publisher of the Worcester Post, also favored the bill.
 "The recommendation of the de- partment." he said, lis nothing more or less than an attempt to see fl the control of these private mon opolies by the commonwealth can b. continued on south lines. Otherwise we must give 1t up as failure and conclude that the only hope of fail rates and good service for tho pro- | lection of our industry and our peo' pie lies in state and municipal oper' ation of the gas and electric utili' ties.
 "The state laid down definite terms under which private com panies undertook the operation oi these services. Those terms were clear. The companies entering tht business understood perfectly what | they were. Investors who put ir their money knew the limitation, under which they were making theiI investments. The people in giving extraordinary rights to these utili' ties never consented 10 their taking profis on unearned increment"

ried where 1t is advisable and makes for greater safety. But when the gas tank is in front of the pilot he is in little danger of a forced landing.
 Would Be Dead"
 But what would have been the cutcome," he was asked. If you had been forced to land while over the water?"
 "I guess the outcome would have been that I would be dead" he said and laughed merrily.
 Turning 10 his planned trip over the old air mail route which he abandoned exactly cne year ago yes terday to go to San Diego where the Spirit of St. Louis was being built, Lindbergh said
 My primary object in going over the old mail route is to stimulate aviation and interest in it--although I do want to go over the old r ute. But think the air mail will become more and more important especially as the ground organization is devel- cped. expect to see all important mail sent by air in the future" Negotiating a planned course from Havana. Cuba. to Florida and thence northwest to the Mississippi river, Lindbergh swooped out of the fog at Lambert-St. Louis field late yes- terday and ended his journey of L. 200 miles in IS hours and 35 min- 1 utes.
 His flight, begun December 13 at Washington and leading down through Mexico, and the Central and South American republics, was des- cribed today as an odyssey of the air which in its spectacular aspect, was second only to his New YorA to Paris flight.
 With characteristic modesty Lino- bergh said the last non stop leg oi the flight through the fog was like any other flight and that he was not lost at any time.
 My longest jump over the water was between Havana and Key West about 100 miles," he related. ''I skirted the west coast of Florida north and flew directly toward St. Louis. It was from there on that ! had to detour. though I encountered fog from the time hit the main- land.
 Ceiling Low
 T was only occasionally out of sight of the ground on the trip yes- terday. The flying ceiling was too low to circle over St. Louis as I had planned and 50 I headed directly for the field. The mouth of the Missouri river was landmark for me-"
 The crowd of 800 people standing In a soaking rain at the field to well come the good will flier. grew appre- hensive at 4 D. m.. when an air mail plane took off and returned five min- utes later unable to penetrate the dense fog and mist. Crowding about the dripping hangars they stared into the southeastern skies and the powerful electric beacon light swung to and fro, its beam penetrating the sodden heavens.
 Sticks Out Long Legs
 Even as they stared sputter caused the people to turn and with a roar Lindbergh's plane swept over the hangars from the northwest Circling the field several times to inspect the ground, the Lone Eagle landed and taxied his plane to a hangar.
 Thrusting his long legs out Of the cabin of the plane he was met by the reception committee and man. of his comrades of the National Guard and air mail routes. After posing for pictures he saw the plane placed safely in the hangar and then gave short interview to newspaper men. Afterward Col. l.indbergh wat taken to the home of friend te spend the night.

Doesn't Eat

st. Louis, Feb. 14 Rl-There is one sure way to obtain a sharp re- tort from Colonel Charles A. Lind bergh-and that is to ask him what he eats on his nonstop flights. Ap- parently remembering tho prodding he received after eating only a sand wich and a half on the New York to Paris flight, Colonel Lindbergh was on the defensive yesterday when asked what he ate on his way home from Havana.
 What has that got to do with It, anyway" he asked in the hangar. Again at night when the same query was put to him he reddened and grinned and then replied:
 Well, I don't see what that's got to do with it."
