DIRECTED VERDICT
 IN DAMAGE SUIT
Miss Mabel Lawson Loses ! $IO,O00 Action Against
 the City
A SIDEWALK CASE

Mabel E. Lawson, graduate nurse of this city, lost her $10,000 damage suit against the City of Waterbury when Judge Frederick M. Peasley directed a superior court jury to bring in a verdict for the city. The motion for the di- rected verdict was made by Cor poration Counsel Charles s. o. Connor upon completion of evil dence yesterday afternoon. Mir O'Connor asked the granting of the motion on the grounds that the plaintiff was guilty of contribu- tory negligence.
 He poitned out that the plaintiff admitted on the stand that she was waving across the street to friends when she tripped and fell on the sidewalk on Baldwin street, near the Washington grammar school on october IA, 1880. Miss Law son charged the city with negli- gence in that the sidewalk was unsafe for public travel and that she suffered permanent injuries to her knee as a result of the fall.
 Attorney Francis P. Guilfoile, appearing for the plaintiff argued against the granting of the motion pointing out that the evidence showed a dangerous condition ex- isted on the sidewalk and that the plaintiff was exercising due care when the accident happened. Claims Attorney Vincent A. Scully assisted Corporation Counsel o. Connor in the trial of the case.

Police and

Officer Christinat Advanc.
 ed to Higher Grade

Very little business was transact
 ed yesterday afternoon at either
 the board of fire or police com
 missioners. The fact that no com
 ment was made at the police board
 meeting concerning possible charg-
 es against Patrolmen Thomas Ber-
 gin and John Walsh indicated that
 the incident will be permitted to
 drop. Both officers testified at two
 meetings that there was no dis turbance in Croce and Colucci's restaurant in which 1t was alleged
 abusive language was used. The complaining witnesses have asked to be excused and so the matter
 will be forgotten so 1t Is expected. Patrolman John Christinat was advanced from Grade B to Grade
 A, the promotion to become effec- tive as of February 5th. He was made a regular on February 5, 1880 following his capture of a young man wanted in Bristol for the fatal shooting of Patrolman James McNamee of that city. A report of Superintendent Jo- seph H. Mclean concerning worn
 out call lights and new controllers and timbers for 12 traffic lights

WARNINGS SENT
 TO MOTORISTS
Thirty-twO Drivers of Ve- hicles Summoned for
 Hearings This Week
OFFICIALS ACTIVE

Thirty-two operators of com mercial motor vehicles from all parts of the state were summoned for hearing this week by the Con- necticut Department of Motor Ve- ating practice observed by the de- hicles as a result of laxity in oper- pertinent inspectors or state po- licemen. While these offcnses were not serious enough to warrant ar- rests or suspensions of licenses, the departures from right procedure were deemed so important as to justify action to inspire improve ment.
 This is an early step in the pro- gram of close inspection of com mercial vehicle driving instituted by Commissioner Robbins B. Stoeckel for 1892 in the expressed hope an intensive effort of this kind twill solve many problems of our highways which now result in accidents causing appalling loss of lives and property"
 The majority of the operators involved, Inspector William H. Cunningham says, were observed when lax on at least two occasions. Reckless driving is principal com p1aint. In addition to these 32 cases, letters of warning have been sent to 250 other operators whose derelictions have been of less seri- ous import.
 The vehicles involved range from the light delivery to the six wheeled type of trucks. Violations noted include speeding, double parking, carelessness and failure to signal when turning or stopping. For the past month the scrutiny of driving has been concentrated in the vicinity of the larger centers in the built-up areas. Now the check will be broadened in scope to extend to all sections of the state and on all state highways. In connection with the depart. ment's program to better the driv. ing of commercial automobiles owners of the trucks as well at operators are informed of instances of laxity in operating conduct. Ir practically every instance where concerns have been advised of i'm proper acts of their employees, they have replied to the department communication with a promise oi attention to the complaint and q pledge of cooperation to prevent It's recurrence.
 Inspector Cunningham declares that no drastic action is contem. plated in the bulk of these present cases. "We expect" he said, "tha' the personal warning to these operators will be effective"

But Dampened Spirits of Youngsters Are

to Distribute Easter Presents.

A rain -drenched lawn and threaten

visitors revived like magic when Mrs.
Hoover appeared smiling among them

colored Easter eggs.

sport coat of tan fur, the First Lady
came out on the south portico and ad-
dressed herself to the visitors, who had
sought shelter there from the drizzle
and wind.
More than 5000 visitors, about half
of whom we're children, attended the
egg-rolling during the morning. al
though the bad weather drove many OF
them home and only few hundred re-
manned on the White House grounds

47,000 visitors.
The only live rabbit at today's egg
rolling was brought onto the grounds in
a cardboard box by small boy. The
rabbit kicked free from his prison and
