s25,OOO DAMAGE SUIT SETTLED
'Thomaston Woman Sued Central Vermont R. R.
 for Husbands Death

The s25,00o suit brought against the Central Vermont Railway, Inc, by Abigail Mclaughlin of Thomas ton for the death of Terrence Me- Laughlin beneath the wheels of Q freight train at Montpelier Junc- ton, Vt., last year, was settled out of court today and the action was withdrawn from the court of com mon pleas. The amount of the set- clement was not announced. Trial of the suit was to begin before a jury here shortly.
 Though the accident took place In Vermont, the railway has Con- necticut offlce at New London, and the suit was brought in this state by Attorney Vincent Miller. It was claimed in the action brought by Abigail Mclaughlin as administra- trix of the estate of Terrence Mo- Laughlin that the railroad's negli- gence caused the fatality.
 Day of Accident
 On May l4, 1885, the complaint stated, Terrence Mclaughlin was Q paying passenger on Central Ver- mont train from Middlesex to Mont- pelier Junction. As he got of the rear end of the train at his destina- ton, 1t was charged, backing freight train ran into him, and he was crushed beneath it's wheels. It was claimed that McLaughlin's legs were severed and that he lay on the tracks for considerable time before aid reached him, and that he suf- fered excruciating pain before he died later the same day. The rail- road was charged with negligence in not having a proper place for passengers to alight, for not having Q fiagman on duty, for allowing a freight train to back to where pas- sengers were alighting. Numerous other counts of negligence were listed.

JAIL BROOKLYN
 MAN FOR TAXES
Failed to Pay Personal Property Tax - More
 Warrants to Be Served

Jailing of a Brooklyn man. for non-payment of personal property taxes which have been due for sev- eral years marked what city officials described today as a determined drive to force all those neglecting such taxes to pay up at once. Deputy Sheriff Frank McCann last night brought Frank Gribinas, bartender in Riverside street tavern, to New Haven county jail after serving a tax warrant made out by, Tax Col lector William Ennis. --.-s.a s'--7
 Executive Secretary Thomas F. Kelley and Collector Ennis both stated today that additional war rants are being made out and will be served by deputy sheriffs unless those owing the personal property taxes make some effort at making up the amounts they owe. Many Waterburians, they said, owe taxes for several years on automobiles, store equipment and other personal property.
 Those Who Don't Care
 In explaining the procedure being followed, Tax Collector Ennis de- clared that the drive is not an at- tempt to Jail persons willing but unable to pay, but only those who

The discussion, with con- stantin Oumansky, newly appointed counsellor of the Washington em- bassy, as the third party interpret ing, was held in Stalin's office in the Kremlin.
 Devoid of Dramatics
 The interview was devoid of for ensics and dramatics. Stalin is oft voiced and genial. He has never sought publicity or Q reputation for color. There is little in his manner to reveal the almost mystic power with which he sways the will and emotions of l73,o00000 people. He is devoid of bombast. Ills demeanor is civilian, not heel-clicking ana not military. His greeting was friendly and the informality and ready hunaor which characterised the conversation are silk gloves covering an often demonstrated iron will. At times he has the dogmatic manner of revolutionaries, but he employs a tolerance in discussion that ve-

Washington. March 4.--tUP)-- Strong opposition to President Roosevelt's proposed tax on undis vided corporation surpluses ap. peared today as congress began work on the chief executives re- quest for $i,i37.00o,000 to finance farm relief and the bonus.
 Rapid Rise in Stocks
 MT. Roosevelts proposal caused rapid rise in stock values on tho New York exchange yesterddaay on the theory that if enacted 1t would force corporations to divide sur- pluses among stockholders. Guarded criticism came from corporation ex- ecutives who preferred, until tho proposal is presented in detail, to remain anonymous. They feared that surpluses would be reduced to the point where corporations would not have the sinews to fight future depressions.
