SETTLEMENT MADE
 IN $lO,OOO SUIT
Action Withdrawn Today; Evidence Starts in Fatal
 Accident Case

The $10,OOO civil action damage suit of William J. Murphy, Water bury, against David R. Traurig and the Superior Mattress Company of Waterbury, was today withdrawn from the docket of Common Pleas. Terms of the settlement are not known.
 Murphy filed the complaint few weeks ago as the result of an auto- mobile accident which occurred March 16, 1940 on Willow street. The complainant charged he was struck by car operated by the defend ant, knocked down and dragged over 400 feet, sustaining numerous bruises and contusions. Attorney Francis J. Butler represented MT. Murphy.
 Being heard this morning in the court of common pleas is the $10,- 900 damage suit of Norah Barrett, Waterbury, against the City of Wa terbury. Mrs. Barrett is administra- trix of the estate of her husband Edward Barret, who died January 31, 1881 of injuries allegedly suffer- ed when he fell on a defective side walk at III Cherry street.
 The complaint states MT. Barrett slipped and fell when he walked over defect in the sidewalk, which at the time was covered with snow. AS result of the fall, on Decem- Der 24, 1930, his hip bone was broken, necessitating long hospital ization. The city is charged with negligence.
 Attorney William Smyth repre- SentS Mrs. Barrett.

BUMPER BIDDERS
 ASKED TOPARLEY
Fire Board to Act on Prices for 75O; Gallon
 Vehicle Thursday

Representatives of firms bidding for the order of a new 75O-gallon bumper for the Waterbury fire de- partmeRt may attend meeting of the local board of fire commission CTS this Thursday afternoon, it was learned today.
 The three concerns, the appar- ent low bidders for the city's order, have been notified to clarify certain specifications for their respective trucks which their original bids failed to show. It is expected that the concerns may either send repre- sentatives to the board meeting for this purpose or furnish the needed information in writing.
 Last week the board was noti- fled by Purchasing Agent Martin Sweeney that seven firms had bid for the order of furnishing the city with its new fire truck. Of these the ones submitted by the Ward LaFrance Co.,, the Buffalo Fire Ap- paratups O., and the Maxim Motors Co. were apparently the lowest, but it was pointed out that they had failed in some particular instance to satisfy the standards demanded by the city.
 Delivery of the truck within 60 to 90 days of the awarding of the contract has been assured by those companies submitting bids.

 As both teams have large fol- lowings record attendance is ex- pected. The Knights of Colum- bus committee on educational &C., tivities will announce the three judges tomorrow.
 Next week St. Margaret's team meets the Sacred Heart team in 8 debate on the famous H. R. 1776, better known as the LeaSe-Lend bill. As the House of Representa- tives have adopted it and the U. S..

BAPTIST GUEST COMING FRIDAY
Rev. Clarence ROddy of Brooklyn, N. Y., to Speak
 at Monthly Bible COnfab

Rev. Clarence s. Roddy, of Brook Iyn, New York, an outstanding Bap- tist preacher, will be the speaker at the monthly Bible conference Fri day evening, in the First Baptist church, commencing at 7:30 o'clock.
 Rev. MT. Roddy is pastor of the Baptist Temple in Brooklyn, New York, one of the largest churches of the metropolitan area, but formerly from New England. He is a grad uate of Gordon College of Theology and Missions. He is now, in fact, Trustee of that institution. For ten years he was pastor of the First Baptist Church of Portland, Maine, the largest Baptist Church in the state. At the time he became the paStor, the church was in poor con dition in every way. When he re- signed he left a church, vigorous and healthy in every department, with Bible study classes for all ages, a most progressive Sunday school, and the largest prayer meeting in the state. While there he was pres ident of the Maine Baptist Conven- tion and, later, president of the Northern Baptist Convention.
 MT. Roddy is strong yet winsome speaker. His is a marvellous gift of word portrayal. He has been heard on several of the largest sum- mer conference grounds of the East, including Rumney, N. H., and Wi mona Lake. Indiana.
 Rev. Roddy is a real pastor, enter ing into the joys and sorrows of all his parishioners, capable of hand ling the business administration of a great city church, but IS at his very best as a theologian and ex- pounder of The Word. There is a simplicity of grandeur in his style, a penetration in the form of presen- tation, and a forcefulness that gen. crates results.
 This conference Friday evening is open to the public. Delegations from many churches in this area are expected. The session will be opened by the Rev. David P. Gaines, pastor of the First Baptist church, assisted by the Rev Gotthard Hab- Strom of the Swedish Baptist church. The organist will be Will liam Mcbride of the Second Con- gregational church.
