PARIS COURT ENDS
FIGHT FOR RICHES
Son of "Illegitimate Daughter
of Dead Duke Sought
Geneva Millions.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, March 21.-A real life
drama which opened when Duke
Karl II fled from his native Bruins
wick to Geneva with his tidy fortune
of s30,000.000, played for the last
time yesterday in the musty Seine
tribunal.
The court threw out the suit of
Count De Civry, who had sought to
recover the dukes millions from the
City of Geneva. He had claimed the
money, which went to the city when
no will of the duke was found. The
count was a son of the Countess of
Colmar, who said she was an illegiti-
mate daughter of Duke Karl.
Frenchmen were won't to call the
drama The Duke and the Police
man"
When the duke arrived at Geneva
he was courteously received He de-
cided to leave his $50, 900, 900 to the
city when he died.
The policeman entered the picture
in 1870. At that time the duke
was driving through Geneva's streets
in his favorite barouche. The police
man pointed out that the duke was
driving on the left side of the road.
contrary to rules. The duke was
enraged and whipped his horses into
a smart gallop. He changed his will
and cut off the city without a centime.
Duke Karl died in 1873. No will
was found and the city took the
money.

range for the selection of 20 vot- ing places to be used in, the fall election. The republicans, realizing that they had the majority of votes last night due to the absence of three democrats, forced through a vote instructing the committee not to hire O'Donnelrs hall on Wash ington street as the polling place for the 14th district. The hall has been used for many years as a vot- ing place. Alderman Charles Schmidt first expressed hope that the hall would not be hired this year on the grounds that it was ob- jectionable to women voters. AL dermon Simeon Nichols followed up with motion instructing the com mittee not to include the hall on it's list of polling places.
 Following some debate during which Alderman Ernest Belval and Frank Bergen, both democrats, ob- jected to such motion on the grounds that the board should first wait and see what the committee recommends, the vote was carried. It is likely that at the next meeting a vote to reconsider will be passed in view of the fact that Alderman John Bendler. democrat, voted with the republicans to pass the Nichols motion. This gives him the right to move for reconsideration as he voted with the winning side last night. The democrats will see to it that a democratic majority is pres- ent at the next session of the board.
 Bid On House
 To the committee on land was referred an offer of $3,000 from Andrew Dawson for a house at 61 Watertown, avenue formerly owned by William D. Munson and fore- closed by the city for non-payment of taxes. Mrs. N. Urbanovk of Clover street submitted an offer of $75 for lot No. S5 on Lowland ave- nue. This offer was also referred to the committee on land.
 Alderman George R. Guilfoile was not present last night so resi- dents of Chase avenue, who ap- peared to ask what progress had been made in wiping out dump SIIECtS WClC tOAu ttlat luCy would have to wait for the com mittee's report.

The matter was refer red to the board of works.
 Insorder that he can set up a gasoline station on his property John Koskia asked the board to change the zoning justification oi his lot on the Wolcott road near Lakewood road from B residential to business. The board will hold a public hearing August 18th on the matter. The works board was au- thorized to lay a sidewalk on the east side of Grandview. avenue from Revere street, southerly. The cost will be $100.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-08-06

Claims totalling $4,560 against the city of Waterbury were order ed settled last night by the board of aldermen following report from the law committee. At the same time sixty claims for dam ages were turned down by the board upon a recommendation from the committee on law. The claims settled, numbering fifty, were filed by persons who either fell on defective walks or whose automobiles were damaged on the streets of the municipality. The settlements involved amounts rang ing from $5 to $250.
 The action of the board author izing the settlement of the 50 claims wipes all such claims against the city off the books. It is likely, however, that a small per- centage of the sixty claims rejected will be taken into court.
 Many claims were filed because of damage done to automobiles on the city streets. This was due to the fact that the city has been busy making many excavations in the public thoroughfares with result ing poor condition in some of the highways.

I stopped my car in front of one of these shacks and walked up to the tiny porch.

 The plantation owner, he ex- plained, furnished his house, the ten acres of land he planted, the shed, mule and blow. He must put in the crop, cultivate it and pick the cotton. He receives half of the return. The owner must furnish" him with food supplies until the grand settlement at the end or the season. He buys at the company store and the landlord keeps the books.
 "Cotton's been so low until last year that a man was lucky of he got a little somethin' to eat out of his work" the man went on, glanc- ing up at me out of pale blue eyes that had a beaten look about them. Things is little better now-but don't see how we gained much out of this AAA business. Reckon the company got most of that"
 It was this matter of AAA crop reduction and payments that was the real basis for the formation of the union, with it's resultant terror ism, night riding and elections. Ac- cording to Sec. of the AAA cot ton contracts every fourth row of cotton was to be plowed up in 1888 and in the year following 40 per cent reduction was to be affected.
