The state high- way department, which was to start work on the Beech Swamp road the grst of the spring was hampered by the same conditions. But this work has now been finished and local torists are loud in their praise of the fine job done. The men are now filling in small holes, which have ap- peared on Main street, Kensington and this work will probably be fin- jshed within the next week.

NO COMPENSATION IN FEEGEL CASE| Wife Must Support Self and Babe by Own Efforts New Haven, Aug most interesting ca. 4—One of the s that Compensa- tion Commissioner Beers has ever been called on to decide vesterday with the dismissal the of Mrs. Anna Louise Feegel of Meriden, who asked compensation for the death of her husband, Martin J. Feegel, which occurred on June 24, as the result of a gasoline explosion in the garage of Runge & Sons in Mer- iden. The case was a very peculiar one, involving the question whether a man is working for his employer when he turns aside to assist some one else working on a machine in the same es- tablishment. Runge was asked by one Carl Smith to pour some gaso- line into a car on which the latter was working, and while doing so, an explosion occurred which resulted in the death of Feegel. In an interesting memofandum attached to the declsion dismissing the olaim the compensa- tion commissioner says: “The death of a worker while in the course of doing a kindness is pathetic. It cannot, however, in this case result in a legal lability to com- pensation. The thanks of Mr. Smiith were due to Mr. Feegel for his kindly act and would no doubt have been ex- pressed had it not been for the tragedy which followed. No such thanks were due to the respondents and no one was under any legal or moral obligation to them because of the performance of the act. of Mr. Feegel was a personal one and as he was entitled to the appreciw- s unfore- seen and unfortunate results must fall on him and those identffled with him. “It was in fact accidental that Mr. Feegel happened to b, working upon the truck when asked to do the favor. The same request would doubtless have been made had ha been passing along the street o1 had he stopped on an errand. The request was made of him acting in his personal capacit “The claim must therefore be di missed.” What makes the case unusually pathetic is that at the time of the ac- cident Feegel was the only support of Ms wife, who is now left with a five weeks' old haby to support. The case, according to Commissioner Reers is one of the most novel that has ever come under him for deci- on Smith was not an employe of Runge nor a fellow employe of Feegel. was determined of claim BASEBALL TOMORROW, Following is the schedule for the mes in the Hardware City league at Walnut Hill park tomorrow: Rang- Pawnees at 2 p. m.; Annex vs. Alpines at 4 p. m.

Owing to the fear of spreading in- fantile paralysis in this section fthe management of Lake Compounce an- nounced today that the baby show scheduled for August 17 will be aban- doned. The baby show is one of the biggest features of summer activities | at Lake Compounce and it always draws a large number of competitors from Bristol, Plainville and New | Britain. Fearing that a gathering of babies at such a time would be a big risk be- cause of the prevalence of the dread disease the owners of the resort de- cided against having the show. Their action meets with the ap- proval of the health authorities and is a commendable step.towards ward- ing off the plague.

This vear the company proposes to follow plan established in other cities of compiling a numerical house and street guide in addition to the directory in which an alphabetic listing of names is given. Peculiar spelling of foreign names makes this feature of the directory a convenience as the name can be defermined from the street number in the second sec- tlon of the book. Registrars to Meet. Registrars I. P. Newell and A. D. Cady will be in the club room of the Business and Improvement assoclation this evening for the purpose of re- celving the applications of voters who wish to have their names placed on party voting lists. According to law only those whose names are listel are entitled to vote at the caucuses. This year there 1s no early Indication of contests at the caucuses and the registrars do not ex- pect to get many additions to the list. The town had a number of progres- slves hefore Roosevelt deserted the party and there is some speculation as to how many of them will formally signify their intention of returning to the G. O. P. ranks. Whatever thelr attitude may be on election day it Is not likely that any great number will register for the republican caucus, at this time at least. The registrars will meet again next Friday to give another chance to those who wish to go on the lists. Two in the Toils. Pay night at the transfer station did not prove as profitable for the con- stables as usual, a single employee getting into their grasp. Joseph Mc- Kenna started out to disburse his weekly stipend among the liquor, deal- ers of the town, and by the time he completed the task his legs were too wobbly to permit of his returning to the sleeping car. He was picked up at the Center hy Officer Marino late in the evening. Railroad Officer Charles Grace found a cellmate for McKenna this morning when a drunken stranger dropped off a freight train and stag- gered along towards the freight house. The fellow was too intoxicated to get about unaided and the policeman escorted him to the lockup. The men will be given a hearing before Justice Condell some time this afternoon.
