Knox declar- ed he “had in mind throwing out clavses two, three and four fn Kearns' charges.” These involved over $500,000 of the approximately $700,000 sought by the boxer's former manager under their old contract. The sudden statement of Judge | Knox caused a flurry in the crowded [United States district court room and resulted in adjournment of the trial at noon until 2 p. m. for a con- ference between the judge and at- torneys. The parts of Kearns' case threat- cned with being quashed before go- ing to the jury deal with his effort, {0 recover a percentage of Dempsey's earnings for the latter's first fight with Gene Tunncy in Philadelphia in September, 1926. The contract under which Kearns claims his shar: of the money expired in August, 1926, The first clause in Kearns’ claims dealing with the proposed W Dempsey fight that never occurred and seeking the recovery of $166,000, was dismissed yesterday. The fifth and remaining clause, which may be the only one to go to the jury for decision, involves Demp- sey’s exhibition tour of 1925 and $9,000 to $15,000.

Pl property covers approsimately 60 acres and it is understood that $11,000 was offercd to Mrs, stein but refused. It is the contention of water de- partment officials that the use of the property for farming purposes would £0on result in the contamin- ation of watcr in the Bristol reser- voir which adioins. They also point out that the lind is not adapted to agricultural pursuits and it is their belief that the offer made to Mrs. Bernstein is considerably more than it is worth.

Members of the city council were also present. The visitors were welcomed by Mayor W. Raymond Crumb and Charles L. Wooding, chairman of the local board of water commissioners. Superintendent G, Earl Lourie presided and introduced Commis. sioner Hatch of New Britain, who spoke on “Service Charge va Mini- mum Rate.” He stated that the best authorities on the subject recom- mended the service charge, although it 15 not in vogue at the present time. In his opinion it was the most equitable method of making charge for what the consumer gets. It was also considered by some that the service charge would effect a sav- ing in water, he said. A discussion followed Mr. Hatch's address. Superitendent McKenzie of the Wallingford water department spoke on “Water Works' Adminis- tration.” His talk was followed by a general discussion. The meeting was such a success that Superintendent Lourie was em- powered to appoint a committee of four to arrange for a similar gath- ering in the fall and to submit plans at that fime for the founding ot a permanent organization.
