 Dispositions Here
Superior or Supreme Court of Errors to Straighten Connecticut Difficulties Before Decision Is Given
 LocaIly-C Continuance Until January 10, 1884

Until the superior court or the supreme court of errors has ren- dered anticipated decisions on sev- eral disputed features of the pow CTS of the state milk control board, two local cases, will be held in abeyance. At the suggestion of Att torney J. Gregory Lynch, Counsel for several members of the local independent milk dealers associa. ton, Judge Edward Mascolo agreed this morning to lengthy post ponenment of the local hearings. He continued the cases until Jan- uary 10, 1884.
 Two cases of similar circum- stances are pending in the Hart ford superior court. States Attor- ney Hugh l.. Alcorn, well known as counsel for the defendants. He has attacked the constitutionality of the state milk control boards powers and 1t is expected that a long legal duel will be staged. t The cases scheduled here today were those of William Skelte. AZ, of Bethlehem and sZigmaistis Kle- vecka, 43, of 168 South Leonard street. charged with selling milk without a license and incidentally to unlicensed storekeepers. Attor- ney Lynch, who has contested the claim of the milk control board from the start and who obtained very favorable decision on his de- murrer several weeks ago, made an informal address to the court to- day and pointed out several techni- calities. It was questioned whether the official regulations had been filed with the secretary of state. It was also argued that the state had failed to show that a local dealer Charles Strikulis of S51 Bank street had not purchased the milk Tor private consumption.
 Judge Mascolo remarked on the states lack of preparedness to carry on with the case and also on the fact that several continuances hud already been granted.
 Following an exchange of com-' ments. which were "oif the rec ord" Judge McGrath continued the two eases until next January <It was his honor's opinion several weeks ago that the state board could not prosecute dealers as criininals for selling milk below the established rate.
 The court was obliged today to rule on case of peculiar features. It involved the trial of Joseph Pecka, IT, of Long Hill road, who wan charged with beating his own mother. {. Mrs Peek testified that her son choked and threatened to kill her. She also exhibited bruises on her arms and legs which had been inflicted by her son.
 The accused claimed that his mother attacked him first and has smashed the windshield of his au- tomoblle. secondhand affair, which he was trying to fix up and sell. He told Q story of being abused.

MONETARY TRUCE
 BEING PROPOSED
U. s. and Great Britain Would Stabilize Pound
 and Dollar
By RICHARD l.. GRIDLEY Copyright 1883 by the United
 prcss)

Washington, oct 3-(UP)-Pre- liminary moves toward monetary truce" with Great Britain will be made during war debt negotiations here Thursday, the United Press was informed by high authority today.
 The groundwork will be laid during these talks, 1t was stated, for q monetary conference between the United States and Great Brit ain in London before the end of the year.
 Little progress is anticipated to- ward settlement of the debt ques- ton because of current political and economic obstacles but 1t is expected that headway will be made toward world monetary sta bility
 Under present plans, an agree- ment for stability of the dollar and the pound will be sought within the next few months. With these two largest non-gold currencies den- nitely linked, 1t is expected to be q comparatively easy matter grad ually to take in other unstable cur rencies until all world currencies are stabilized in relation to one
 
 American monetary and fiscal experts decogniZe the difficulty of concluding any war debt agree- ment with the present instability of the dollar.
 Under the desired Anglo-Amer- lean monetary truce, Great Britain and the United States would keep their currencics at an even level in world markets. No return 10 the gold standard on the old basis however, would be involved, but \ exchange of gold between the United States and Great Britain would take place to adjust various trade and financial balances.
 Currencies of the two nations would be theoretically backed by gold held in the respective central banks and treasuries of the two countries but would not be paid out 10 citizens upon presentation of paper certificates.
 President Roosevelt is believed to be interested in this form of q gold standard to avoid tho possi- bility of q hoarding movement like that of last spring that paralyzed the credit and banking structure.

NOVEL|STS At
LANSON TRIAL
Continuation OF Case Marked
By Additional Testimony Of
Physician.

SAN JOSE, Calf, Aug %. U.P)-'
A gallery of distinguished visitors,
including the novelists, Charles G.
and Kathleen Norris, saw X-ray
plates of Allene Thorpe LamsonS
skull when the murder trial of Da-
vid A. Lamson entered its second
week today.
Herbert Bridges, deputy district
attorney, began the formal exami-
nation of the first witness immc-
diately after Superior judge Robert
r. Syer called court 10 order.
Standing beside a large flood
light, DR.. Fred Powers examined
the pictures showing the fractures
on Mrs. Lamson's skull. Autopsy
surgeons testified the fractures
could have been caused by blows
inflicted with very great force" or
by a fall
Powers, a state witness, testified
Mrs. Lamson's skull was shattered
by a blow that left a Star-like ra-
dating fracture. Maurice Rankin,
of the defense staff, asked him
whether one force could have
caused all the fractures. Powers
agreed it could.
The state quickly strove to offset
the effect of this admission by get
ting Powers to say four separate
blows could have produced the
same results. The witness defined
a blow" as ANY impact or con-
tact with force
Incidents of the excited moments
after the defendant ran to the
front door shouting my wife has
been murdered" were described by
Mrs. L. M. Place, a Palo Alto real
estate agent who brought several
clients to the Lamson home.
Saw No Tears
She found Lamson, stripped to the
waist, cleaning up the rear YARD.
At her request he entered the horne
to admit her and a prospective ten
ant at the front door.
She stood at the door until Lam
son reappeared and announced he
had found his wife ''muroered.'
The defendant at this time wore
a shirt or a sweater, on which there
was blood, the witness testified.
There also was blood on his hand,
| and face.
| Mrs. Place entered the home and
! telephoned DR.. Margaret Lamson
! the defendants sister. During this
time Lamson paced up and down
! the living room calling to his wife
in very endearing terms and tell
ing the visitor ito get the police,
she testified.
did you see any tears?" the ex-
amining attorney asked.
Il don't rememer any tears she
replied.
Lamson took her to the bath
room where she saw an arm hang
| ing over the rim of the tub. There
were bloody tracks in the hall and
living room," Mrs. Place said.

BELIEVE ANTI-FAT DISCOVERY
TO BLAME FOR DOCTORS DEATH

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 28. U.p)
An autopsy was performed today
on the body of Dr. Hans GeSSnar,
40, to determine whether he was
a martyr to science, an expert
menter with dangerous dinithro-
phenol, which burns off fat"
Friends of Gessnar said he had
been experimenting with the drug
1t was developed by two young
Stanford university hospital physi-
clans, Drs. NJ. L. Tainter and Cut
ting.
Gessnar, a registered physician
educated in Vienna, was found in
his Y. NJ. c. A. room with a high
fever. He complained of intense
heart pains. He allegedly told the
doctor he summoned he had taken
a second dose Of the "anti-fat rem
edy."
In the room were found II drug
tablets and excerpts from the re-
port of dinithrophenol submitted
by Drs Tainter and Cutting to the

lie signed the bill imposing the tax,
he reiterated his opposition but
said there was nothing else he could
do.
But Mr.. Average Citizen, digging
down into his pockets for the peh-
MES he pays on almost every pur-
chase. Immediately connected tine
tax with the governor.
Men buying cigarettes were
heard to say: Here's penny for
jimmy
Clerks mentioning the price Of
groceries began saying: And add
a penny for Jimmy"
Even little children picked up
the phrase and lisped it while
storekeepers and other patrons guf-
faWed.
Little did those taxpayers real
:ze they themselves made the sales
tax possible, ir fact virtually ap-
proved it. In the special election
last June the voters of the state
adopted the Riley plan, extending
the taxing powers of the state.
Words Were Buried
Buried deep in the wordage out
lining the plan was a provision
making a sales tax permissible.
But this referendum was not re-
called as the taxpayers handed
over one or Two cents on every
small purchase. "a penny for Jirl-
N.Y." it meant to them.
When the phrase reached the
ears of the four times mayor OF
San Francisco, the man who built
great city from the ruins of fire
and earthquake, Sunny Jim" was
not so sunny.
Don't ask me about the sales
tax. ! didn't want it. I opposed
it," he shouted
He sought to shift blame on his
political opponent, Lieut.. Gov
Frank Merriam
Both men have been mentioned
as probable candidates for the gov
ernorship III 1894. The whisper
ing campaign" Rolph alleges exists
as a precursor of the fight for the
governors chair.
Cruising about the state in his
plane, Rolph strove nightly to un-
do the effects of those four little
words. He paraded in an overseas
cap with World war veterans and
marched with Spanish American
war survivors. He welded spade,
he delivered an address; he threw
the first ball in juvenile cham
pionship ball game, and he cele-
brated his 64th birthday. All this
in the shcrt space of week.
At It's conclusion Rolph AL"
pounced he was confident the CAM
paign against him was "dwind-
ling"
But the four little words-"a per-
ny for Jimmy"-continued to BIT
heard on all sides.

grees. He died while physicians
vainly sought an antidote to lessen
the fever. He was attended by DR..
Charles Brenninger jr., who called
DR.. Tainter into consultation.
DR.. Tainter was not reachable
today. His associate, DR.. Cutting,
refused to discuss the case.
I'm sorry. l can't tell you any
thing about it" he said.
When the Stanford university
hospital experimenters announced
their findings in dinithrophenol
tests, they issued a warning that
only a competent physician should
administer the drug because of the
danger of an overdose.

Gessnar's internal organs were sub
