TABS FILE ANSWER INHORTGAGE SUIT Date Tor Hearing May Be Set Friday in Superior Court The last step in the preliminary | arrangements for the trial of the Commercial Trust Co. suit against the Y. M. T. A. & B. society and the five endorsers of its 360,000 second mortgage note was taken by the so- ciety today when the answer to the suit was filed with.the superior court clerk. The case can now be assigned for trial at the short calendar ses. sion of superior court next Friday morning. The society's representatives, Pres- ident Thomas J. Smith and Trea urer Thomas W. Crowe, engaged Judge William F. Mangan to draw up the answer. It is a brief reply and it admits that the society owes the mortgage debt When the “Tabs” began the eon-| struction of its large home on Main street several years ago the building committee gave two mortgages. The first was for $90,000 with the New Britain Savings bank. The second was for $60,000 with the Commer- cial Trust Co. The first mortgage had many endorsers but there were only five endorsers on the mortgage. They were Fire Comm joner Angelo Tomasso, John Curtin, Councilman Frank L. Con- lon, Patrick W. Smith and Dr. D. W. O'Connell. Dr. O'Connell transferred pieces of property to his wife and a brother last summer and within month the Commercial Trust ¢ brought suit agaonst him in which it alleged the transfer was made to avoid financlal responsibility on the note. Dr. O'Connell denied the alle- gation. Recently the other endorsers were cited into court on motion of Dr. O'Connell's attorneys, George W, Brady of this city and John T. Rob- | inson of Hartford. POLISH PATRIOTS WILL BE HONORED Independence Celebration s Planned for May 10 The annual observance of the adoption of the Polish constitution will be celebrated Sunday evening, May 11, at the Sacred Heart school hall on Gold street with a varied program of speakers and singing of patriotic songs by children of the parochial school. The program, which will com- mence at 7:30 o'clock, will be fea. tured by an address by Dr. B. S, Smykowski of Bridgeport, who has the reputation of being one of the| most eloquent Polish speakers in the country and who spoke at the Pulaski park dedication in this city last October. Rev. Dr, Rzasa of Stamford has also been secured to speak and he will be followed by several local speakers. The remaining part of the evening will be devoted to the sing- ing of patriotic songs by children of the school and the audience. The celebration of the anniver- sary, which comes on May 3 but will not be observed until a week later, is in charge of the Citizens' committee and the officers of the or- ganization have been authorized to make final arrangements for the event, The adoption of the constitution occurred on May 3, 1791, in a last effort to prevent the surrounding powers from partitioning the coun- try. This was the first constitution of independence adopted by any European country.
