BOSWORTH, Optometrist and Prescription Optician APPELLATE COURT DECISION. $10,000,000 Suit Against George J. Gould Must Go On Trial. Jan. 1 New York, The appellate division of the state supreme court de- c suit brought by James Pollitz against George J. Gould and other directors of the Wabash railroad must go to trial. The motlon of the defendants to dis- miss was denied. Pollitz is a storckohler in the Wabash and he alleges that in 1903 Mr. Gould and others of the directors procured and delivered $10,000.000 of the com- mon stock of the Wabash without other consideration than $10,000.000 of the stock of the Wabash Pittsburg Terminal railway, in violation of law and duty. The transaction, Pollitz charges, was greatly to the profit of the directors and to the los¢ of the Wabash and the stockholder: Passengers Must Insert Nickels in Au- tomatic Fare Collectors. Providence, R. L, Jan. 13.—The su- preme court decided today that it is a reasonable regulation that passengers be required to insert nickels in the au- tomatic fare collectors used by the Rhode Island company om its street car system here. The question arose in a suit brought by a passenger against the railroad company for ba- ing put off a car after he had refused personally to put his fare in the hand register. It is believed that this is the first time this question has been decided by the courts of this country. The same system is in use in several other states. i Norwich, Conn. | after ded here~today that the $10,000.000 | % WOMAN’S COLLEGE Although no official announcement .has been made, it can be semi-officially stated that the woman’s college to be located in this state will be in New London and that the start will be made by September next. This -does not mean that the college buildings will be erected and the college colony estab- lished near Mohegan avenue, but that studies will be commenced with a class of twenty or more in temporary quar- ters, perhaps in the Munsey building It was practically decided that the col- lege should be located in New London at the meeting of those interested held just before Christmas, but notice to that effect is being held back so that three of the directors not at the meet- ing could have opportunity record their vote, but which would not change the result. The site for the college will be donated and the city of New London has appropriated $50,000 for the college. It is also semi-officially stated that Morton F. Plant will con- tribute $100,000 to the college as soon as the foundation of the main buildin is constructed and contract award for the general construction of the building and plans completed for some of the other buildings, as soon as the generous gentleman is satisfied that the college authorities really mean bus- iness and_the location for New London is ured beyond all possible doubt. It is planned to erect one large cen- tral coljege building and surround this with emaller buildings for use in cén- nection with the main building, making a colony that will be exclusive to col- leze uses. It is farther understood that the college is to be liberaliy endowed its construction and the com- mencement of studies. At present there is no college for girls in the state, and this one will be of equal if not superior grade to Vassar, Wellesley, Smith or Mt. Holyoke.

There is sure to be something doing in actual work in the construction of a new railroad bridge across the Thames | river, or the tunneling of the river, in the very near future, for gangs of sur- vevors are now actively at work here, While no information is being giver out by this spacial class of railroad employes, it is known that three d ot surveys have beea raade with a :w of tunneling the nortbwest seccion with a view to I new approach to the hridee or for a tunnel line, which will change the railrond center of the city from the foot of State street and per- haps locate the passenger station in Main street near what is known as the Mather property, or near to.the Salton- choolhouse ‘in Broad street, or = in some other location far re- moved from the present passenger sta- tion. An officer of high grade is authority for the statement that the New York. New Haven,and Hartford Railroad | is to have a railway passen- ger station of its own in New London and that when it is built it will be among the handsomest in New Eng- land and will have ample office room to relieve the present congestion in the railroad office building in New Haven and fthat New London will be of more railroad importance than ever.

Not so with Theodore Bodenwein. He spoke strongly in favor of annexa- tion and among the benefits that would accrue to Waterford he mentioned the light and water systems. He believed that both places would be benefited by annexation and without New London could not grow and Waterford would stand pat forever. Former GOvernor ‘Waller spoke in opposition to the pro- ject, stating that he would continue along that line unless the le of ‘Waterford were agreeable to the prop- osition and then he would withdraw reluctantly, as he could not see any benefit to New London by the annexa- tion. Abel P. Tanner did not think annexation was necessary and that it was wrong to force Waterford to be- come part of New London against the wishes of a majority of the residents of that town. George S. Palmer said that he did not believe that annexation would be a disadvantage to either New London or Waterford, but in the future it might be an advantage to both. Mr. Palmer said that personally he did not care’ if New London never had another inhabitant. He loved the city T found it a congenial place to live in, and having considerable interest in it would be less expensive to him if the city stood still. But that, he said, was not the spirit and principle of good citizenship. He believed it was the duty of every citizen to place his per- sonal interests below those of the city and he intended to do that duty. Mr. Palmer said he would not favor annex- ation if the people of Waterford op- posed, but he wanted to be certain that was the people and not a com- paratively few interested persons who were opposed to annexation for purely’ personal and selfish reasons. John J. Lawless was the only Water- fordian to speak at the meeting and he favored annexation in - the strongest terms and declared that it would be no burden for New London to take over Waterford and the people of that town would be more contented and enjoy ome of the modern methods of-1living. He declared that fully three-fourths of the taxpayers of Waterford were fa- vorable to annexation. Ex-Mayor Tinker said he was op- posed to annexation if ‘Waterford was forced to become a part of New Lon- don, and he was in doubt if the city needed more territory. He did not be- lieve that the majority of the people of New London wanted Waterford, as it would mean an increase in taxa- tion. Representative Whiton said it would be difficult to accomplish annexation unless New London and V('aterl’m;d n fact, unless both towns petitioned for annexation. It was a long-talk, interesting ses- »n, and tended to get the views of some of the citizens on the subject of annexation; but that was all. There were many at the meeting. but no at- tempt was made to get the vote of those present on the question that was under consideration. PAST EXALTED RULERS’ ASSOCIATION Thomas E.

The Central Vermont, which is a Grand Trunk line, now has a - terminal at Brattleboro, where the New Haven road seeks to enter, and it is bitterly opposed to the invasion, The matter came before the legis. lature this week, both roads being rs{resented by an array of legal tal- en The Boston & Maine representatives declared. that the permission to enter over the property now claimed by the Vermont Central could be given without meaning that the Vermont Central would be,; deprived of any privileggs now enjoyed by it. - The Central attorneys insisted in reply that permission for the proposed invasion would practically destroy the Central Vermont terminal yards, roundhouses, switches, etc., and require an inter- locking system at this junction which is not a satisfactory arrangement for a switching yard. The Central Vermont distributed a cireular attacking the motives of the New Haven road. The citcular cites the alleged motives as follows: First, the extension of its monopo- ly. Second, to embarrass the Central Vermont in what it calls an invasion of its exclusive territory in New Eng- land. Third, to take by legislative authority the property of the Cen- tral Vermont Railway eompany, which without such authority could not be acquired through any ecourt, a fact admitted by their counsel. Fourth, to destroy the competition of the Central Vermont, Grank Trunk and so destroy the differential basis of rates, which would be disastrous to the manufactories of New England and to the future development of the industries of Vermont.
