HYMEN MASKOVSKY
LOSES HIS CLAIM
Ellis Decision to Serve as
Precedent in Future Com
pensatiOn Cases
1890 Kilocycle

Hartford, Nov. 9-The recent deci-
sion OF superior court Judge Arthur
F. Ellis In which a claim for unem-
ployment compensation was disal-
lowed because the claimant was held
to be self-employed even though ne
was not making profit should serve
as a precedent for future similar
cases, Howard E. Hausman, executive
director Of the unemployment COM
pensation division announced today.
The case was first brought to the
attention Of the division when Hy-
men Maskovsky OF Torrington was
denied compensation by a claims
examiner and appealed the case Nov.
%, 1888. Unemployment Commission
er Margaret Verdon reversed the
examiners decision and allowed COM
pensation Dec. ~, 1888, wherupon
the employer, the High Brook farm
Of New Milford appealed the deci-
sion to superior court.
1t was brought out that after the
claimant was discharged from his
job as a milkman he established q
milk route of his own and because
ne was not making a profit he as
serted he was unemployed, willing
to work, and, therefore, entitled to
unemployment compensation.
In his decision Judge Ellis pointed
out that one who is engaged in self
employment is not totally unem-
ployed, yet by the commissioners
ruling, the claimant was to receive
benefits for full unemployment.
"The test applied apparently was
the success or failure of the self
employment venture" the Judge
further pointed out. II think the cor
rect test is the fact Of self-employ-
ment and not the ultimate outcome
Of it. This claimant is self-employed"

HEAVY CRIMINAL DOCKET AWAITED
Judge McEvOy to Preside at Opening Here One
 Week From Today

Judge Frank P. McEvoy will pre- side at short calendar session of superior court here Friday ard then proceed into the criminal term of court which opens January 10. Sessions of superior court will be held in the common pleas court chambers, because of the conspir- acy trial which requires tenure of the regular superior court cham bers. Common pleas court will move to City Hall.
 States Attorney William B. Fitz- gerald has practically completed the criminal docket, which this terms is rather heavy.
 Preparations for the trial of civil cases will also be made during the coming month, and Judge McEvoy will preside at the first civil trials since the start of the conspiracy case. The regular docket of super for court has been practically un- touched since the conspiracy trial started with the exception of two short calendar sessions.
 The common pleas court criminal docket was practically obliterated at short hearing today. This will avoid any confusion when the su- perior court takes over the com- mon pleas court chambers.

City Welcomes 1889
 With Unusual Gaietv
Noisiest Welcome in History Extended to New Year-Hundreds Throng Hotels, Theaters for
 Wild Celebrations

Waterbury's widest New Years Eve celebration had faded into re- trospect today and all that was left to the average citizen was some re- collection of the resolutions sched- uled to start January 1st. That something of embroglio faced many committed to such resolves was ap- parent today at the conclusion of the long weekend when numbers of well-intentioned folk asked their consciences just when did the New Year start, Sunday, Monday or Tuesday?
 Cafes, hotels, theaters, taverns did rush business over the weekend, Saturday night constituting the peak when legal closing was post poned to 3 o'clock Sunday morn ing. giving Waterbury the metro politan touch as celebrators wand cred the main thoroughfares through the dawn.
 Revelry
 There was no disorder of enough moment to give police concern and the early morning jewellers gener- ally remained jovial, not belligerent
 Churches were packed for the early services and costumes varied from formal dress to street clothes as thousands greeted 1899 at wor- ship when dawning of the New Year became factuality.
 The midnight shows at local the- | ot otarc lrauy fhnliconHc onA fhaca joined other groups in late suppers at various eating places around the ] hour of closing of the establishments purveying liquor.
 The center of the city attained unusual netropolitanism in the mid dawning hours when scores of cele- orators wandered the streets in the adornments of the formal night out. The Elton gave forth number of these celebrants and West Main street had a touch of New York streets east of Fifth avenue, the illusion spreading to most of the downtown area thereafter, from Patsy Browns to points east, north, south and west.
 | opCC1h1 ptoCo WCAC PIot4ACA AOA the occasion by the Conn. Railway & Lighting Co.,, and motor traffic, in spite of the crush of celebrants was not heavy in proportion to the thgousands making wassail to the New Year.
 Generally, all establishments were closed yesterday, courts, except city court, the post office, where deliv- cries were concerned, the library. The American Brass Co.,, and the Lux Clock remained open with the office open at the Scovill Mfg. Co. Times Square
 Hundreds of club affairs were held Saturday evening and most Waterburians chose to observe the anniversary in this city although some 700 journeyed to New York on the excusion train, others in private groups, for the hectic all-night party-ing for which Manhattan is notorious.

Marriage Intentions

While there was a rush at the end of the year by couples seeking licenses to marry at the office of Town Clerk Mary c. Kilmartin, nary a pair of f-I'intendeds" had ap- peared in the first official hours of the New Year, as of noon today.
 Those who made the last day of 1888 the occasion for taking care . of the legal aspect of matrimony are:
 Joseph Brunelli, 88 South Elm, and Marie A. Mongelluzzo, 36 Nor ton street.
 Justin Urcinas, 81 Norton street, and Grace Pecinkonis, 1O9 Ernest avenue.
 George Kerr, Waterbury club, and Rachel A. Purcell, 361 Willow street.
 Robert c. Friends, Hornell, N. Y., and Ruth M. Leggett, 99 Wind SOr street.
 Lawrence Giguere, 246 Hillside avenue, and Susan Coviello, 30 Adam street.
 James German, 83 Sylvan ave- nue, and Kathryn Ramp, 32 Will low street.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-01-03

But Waterbury, with its 3 o'clock closing of liquor establishments gave its first real competition to the big town Saturday night and Sunday morning for which many celebrants required the extra holiday yesterday in order to recover from the drastic change from work-a-day schedules.
 Military Ball
 Lieut. Col. Ernest E. Novey, former mayor of Torrington, and Mrs. Peter Fox, led the grand march at the second annual ball of the Sedgwick Guard Go. G at State Armory. Over 600 attended the event, which was the largest New Years party in the city.
 Out-of-Town guests included Capt. Emil Kummick, of Wallingford, and Mrs. Kummick; Lieut.. Go. Novey and Mrs. Novey, of Torrington; and Maj. Charles A. Speer, army in- spector for this district.
 The. New Year was welcomed by 100 Waterbury Burns Club mem- bers and friends in Foresters' hall. A short play was presented, and Joyce Andrea gave 8 speciality dance.
 Thirty kinds of smorgesbord, Swedish delicacy, were served at the annual New Years celebration of the Swedish Harmony chorus in the choruss rooms on South Main street. The New Year was ushered in with the singing of "Over Fjiellaranc Gro," and "Ur Vangen," i" under the direction of Charles Rasmussen.
 Chase FOremen
 Frederick s. Chase, retired presi- dent of the Chase Brass & Copper Co.,, led the grand march at the annual New Years celebration of the Chase Foremen's Association in the Hamilton Park pavilion. MT. Chase's partner was Mrs. Annie Barrett, veteran company employe.
 The Elks, Knights of Columbus, Waterbury Turner's, Concordias and other organizations observed their ong-established custom of enter taining members and friends at annual New Years Eve parties.

FRANK MURPHY
 STARTS NEW ROLE

Washington, Jan. 3. = (UP)- Former Gov. Frank Murphy of Michigan today began his duties as attorney general of the United States while President Roosevelt prepared to send his name to the senate for confirmation.
 Murphy conferred with his prede- cessor, former Attorney-G General Homer s. Cummings, who intro duced him to members of his staff.
 President Roosevelt was expected to ask early senate approval of the 45-year-old, red-haired liberal. Gen. erally favorable comment with which both conservative and New Deal senators greeted Murphy's nomina- tion indicated that he would face little opposition.
 Little opposition also was expect. ed to the confirmation of former Works Progress Administrator Harry L. Hopkins as secretary of com- merce. He was sworn in to his new post a week ago.
