Business Men Enthusiastic Over Goed Talking Through Its Panama! A recent article in a New London newspaper was the subject of consid- erable comment among the business city Friday. The article ‘The attendance at the Business Men's association outing at Storrs col- neighboring to Willimantic, to- day, was not as large as anticipated. For some reason—1 know what the reason is’ said a New London bus- iness man yvesterday—the attendance from .Norwich was not expected to be over 35. One Nérwich paper said it ‘was because the dinners cost $1.50 and there was uncertainty how to get from Williinantic to the dinner by those who would travel by train or troiley. Also the correspondent of the Norwich Bulletin - at Willimantic -~ yesterday +| morning wrote that there was little esthusiasm in Willimantic, that the attempt to close the largest stores failed and that the attendance would be small. F. C, Chidsey had charge of the New London representation and he told the writer of this comment early in the week 'that they would take 75 from New London. Telephone Manager Ford sold about 35 of the New London tickets. It was, however, a party of cheerful optimists. And ft did them good to get away from the daily grind of limited environment.” In view of the fact that such a state- ment as appeared in the item has never been printed in the Bulletin's Willimantic correspondence, that there were 157 of Willimantic's basiness men at the outing, and that the transporta- tion facilities provided were adequate to have taken care of a xconsiderably larger number ‘yan appeared at the outing, the business men in this city felt that they had not been rightly rep- resented in the matter. The. outing was the mogt successful in the history of the assoéiation, and everything pos- sible was done for the comfort and convenience of the visitors, so that it is most unfbrtunate for the cementing of the friandly ties of the Eastern Connecticat _association that such statements should be ‘published. The strongly expressed opinién was heard Friday that everyome was satisfied with the annual outing, but the Nor- wich association, who were a _trifle piqued over something connected with the arrangements for the gathering. The, Norwich delegation who come to the euting seemed to have a good time and were very cordial, and not the slightest unpleasantness Wwas shown. SUCCESSFUL LAWN FETE. ~—a . Many ‘at Entertainmént for Benefit of St. Joseph's School, The second night of the lawn fete on the grounds in the rear of St. Jo- seph’s church was well attended Fri- day and the two days proceeds have been very gratifying in amount to the members of the committee in charge. The grounds were lighted with hun- dreds of vari-colored electric lights, and all the tables and booths did a good business. The dancing, which was enjoyed on a specially - erected platform sixty by forty feet in size, was the big attraction. The proceeds of the lawn fete will Be used in the purchase of new furniture for St. Jo- seph’s parochial school. The general committee consists of twenty young people of the parish. George A. Grady in chairman and Mrs, John Reilly, sec- retary and treasurer. Installation of Obwebetuck Lodge. At the regular meeting of Obwebe- tuck lodge, No. 18, I. O. O.

Burroughs of Dan- felson was In another part of the vil- lage and was hastily summoned to the assistance of the woman. The physi- cian found Mrs. Boulay lying on the bank of the pond when he arrived.

Claim of Brief Filed by Respondent in Case of Sheriff Sibley's Widow. Attorney W. A. King of Williman- tic, representing, with Attorney Gener- al John H. Light, the respondent ‘n the case of Kate B. Sibley vs. the state of Connecticut, the case in which compensation is sought on account of the accident that caused Bheriff flb- leys' death, has filed with Judge Har- ry E. Back, representing Mrs. Sibley's interests, his brief, as agreed upon af- ter a hearing before Comy-n-uou Commissioner J. J. Donohue four '.‘k‘ ago. The state claims that it is no way liable in this proceeding, lnd in support of that claim submits a discussion covering the various poinis at issue. Mr. King says in part: “The vital question, so decisive that it makes well nigh uniecessary .ny “- amination of other defenses, is this thé sheriff an employe of the l!‘l. by reason of any contract with the state as an employ In other Wordl. is his Telation to the state that of a: ploye as defined in Section 43 ot “the workmen's compensation act? Now on the threshold of this -in- quiry it may be affirmed, without dan- ger of serious denial, that the act deals with the relations hetween ‘master and servant,’ as for generations those t have been known to law: that is, ‘the relation between the one -hiring- by contract and the one being hired ontract. The very title of the act, its history, and all its inherent evidence conclusively show that its scope object was not to l-kllu f.‘ and vielnity.

THE COUNTY’'S CLAIM In the Compensation Case of Sheriff Sibley’s Widow—Official Was Not an Employe of the County. In the Bibley-State of Connecticut co claim case, Attorney Charles L. Y, Terresenting- the county of idham, sets forth in his brief just flled: The office of sheriff is created In this state under section 20 of article 4 of the constitution, which is amended by article 7 thereof and further amended by article 28 Sald article 28 of the amendments to the conmstitution as follows: counties on the Tuesday after the first Monday of November, 1886, quadrien- nially thereafter for the term of four commencing on the first day of uné following thelr election. The du- ties of the sheriff are set forth in chapter 110 of the General Statutes. Meaning of Employe Defined, compensation death of Mr. Sibley while the jatter was in the per- formance of his duty as sheriff under the provisions of 138 of the Publie Acts of 1913, it must be because the person holding or exercising the oflu of sherift of the county of Wind- “Employe” ag defined in s.eunn 43 of the compensation act. ‘The word émploye as defined in said Section 43 means any person who has entered into or works under any con- tract or service of apprenticeship with an employer and it depends entirely always been defined by law, but io ‘wipe out the existing llability relations | between master and servant and suh- l-fl!flt. in place thereof new lability | relations between them.™ ‘To uphold the arguments made in the brief, many decisions from many | states are cited. general rule, fairly de- M the qases discussing the that a position is a public ‘hen it is created by law, with duties cast upon the incumbent which involve an exercise of some portion of the power and In the performance of which the public is concerned; while a public employ- ment, on_the other hand, i a position which lacks one or more of the fore- Soing elements. Tried by this test, Mr. Sibley's po- sitfon as sheriff of Windham county is a public office and the incumbent of that office u not an employe of the state. In the N-tun of Tort Actions. All actions brought usJer the Con- necticut Workmen's Compensation act are in the nature of tort actions. The act has simply changed the remedies by abolishing the three defenses of “fellow _servant rule” “contributory negligence” and “assumption of risk” and has fixed the amount to be re- covered. Any otHir defenses avail- able before the passage of this act are available today under it or in de- ciding whether any certain case comes within the act. The county of Wind- ham claims that a municipality Is never liable jn a tort action for any of the cogsequences of its acrs when performing a governmental duty im- posed upon it by law, and that the detanse of governmental duty has not been abolished under the first para- graph of Part A of the Compensation act, OBITUAR Miss Sarah™ Dike.
