At 412 the jury returned and through Foreman Ashley T. Boon of this city reported that they had been unable to agree upon a verdict. The foreman said it seemed uniikely that they could agree and they seemed to hang largely upon the amount of dam- ages to bo awarded in case a decision were given for the plaintiff.

Burn- ham—Hearings Before Compensation On Wednesday there wero several cases before the compensation COm- missioner-and because of disqualifica- tion in some of the cases, Commission- er James J. Donohue, M. D., called upon Prof. George E. Beers, commis- sioner of New Haven, to preside. The most interesting case brought before the commissioner was that of the Thames National bank to ascertain whether Waterman R. Burnham, a di- rector, is while serving in that capacity an employe of the bank. Compensa- tion has been asked, growing out of the injury to Mr. Burnham on May 15 as he was passing through the revolving door at the bank. As a director it was the duty of Mr. Burnham to attend the weekly meeting of the directors, each of whom receive $5 for each meeting. There was no question as to the man- Her cf injury received by Mr. Burn- ham as he was leaving the bank after the directors’ meeting. The case is a novel one under the compensation act of this state and there is little au- thority and certainly no binding au- thority in regard to the question. The bank is insured in a Hartford company which was represented at the hearing by L. O. Collins as counsel. Decision will be rendered within a few days. One of the cases of particular in- terest to physicians was that of Dan- iel Sullivan, a New London physician, who charged for an operation on Wil liam J. Malone, emploved by the H. R. Dougiass company. Dr. Sullivan pre- Sented a bill for $100 for the operation, which was performed in the ward at the Lawrence hospital at New Lon- don. The testimony showed that the ward cases ars charged the sum of $10 or less. Private room cases are charged from $15 to $25 weekly, and the regular charges for operations. In this com- pensation case there were ward charges and the regular charges of the attending physigian. Dr. Sullivan was present and the employer was represented by Robert C. Wickenson, -ounsel for the insurance company, and Thomas W. B. Hogan, adjuster for the company. A hearing was also held on a bill presented by Dr. H. M. Lee for an operation performed on Edward O'Con- ner, estate of F. J. West, employer. Dr.'Lee was not present at the hear- ing, stating that he did not care to be heard. The amount of the bik did not come out at the hearing. There was also a hearing on the case of Tracy company of Willimantic, employers, and George Crane, employe. On Tuesday afternoon, before Com- missioner Donohue, theré was a hear- ing in the case of Frank Sinne, who on April 1st was employed by Con- tractor Brainard, an independent con- tractor, but Sinne received his money from the town of Colchester.

Lux- uriant hair—soft, fluffy, thick and lustrous— is really a matter of care. If it is too thin, stimulate the hair roots and bring out the new hair. If it is too dry and brittle, soften it up —lubricate it. If you have dandruff it's because the scalp is too dry and flakes off. Freshen up the scalp and all dandruff disappears. An_inexpensive tonic, called Paris- ian Sage, which you can get from Lee & Osgood, or any drug counter, is just what you need—it softens the’ scalp, nourishes and invigorates the hair roots, immediately removes all dandruff and makes the hair fluffy, lustrous and abundant. One application will stop itching head and cleanse the hair of dust and excess oil.
