Important changes to the constitu- tion were made at the convention of the Connecticut Staats Saengerbund at New Britain Quartet club park vesterday. About 100 delegates from various eities and towns in the state were present and the sessibn was one of - the wmost harmonious in the hls- tory of the organization: President Louis Lehr was empower- ed to appoint a committee of eight tc draft.the amendments to the con- stitution and present them in com pact form at a later date. Anton Schuffert was named as the local member of the committee. TWo mem- bers were named from .the Hartford scciety, two from Bridgeport, and Torrington, Thomaston and Rockville were honored each with a mernber. One of the most important changes ‘in the constitution provides that the society under whose auspices the an- nual saengerfest is held is to be re- sponsible for the business arrange- ments alone. The reception and en- tertainment of visitors and .delegates and other matters of detail will be in the hands of the board of directors, which is composed of members rep- resenting each society in the organ- ization. ¢ ' The effect of this change Will] it iz believed, make for a more business like condugct of the saegerfest, as no one body or committee will be over- burdened with work. The whole thing will be systematized with con- sequent better results: At the close of the session, a unanimous vote of condence was given President Louis Lehr for the able manner in which he presided. The event concluded with a banquet at 6 o’clock, which was served by George Froeba, and a soclal hour followed. b . ‘ Mrs. Harmon Winter and son, Mill, of Westfield, Mass,, spent the holidays with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Winters of 5 Hartfora avenue.

Since he first burst into print by a sudden disappearance a short time ago he : claimed to have done everything exciting except locate the haunts of the Lost Tribes. Chapter 1 in Sol's publicity cam- paign was written some time ago when he evaporated—so it seemed— and did not communicate with his relatives for a few weeks. When he came back—they all come back when ihey get hungry—=Sol explained that he had sallied forth in search of an cducation. His mind was so far ad- vanced that the school system of New Britain was inadequate to supply him with knowledge. His brain was a sponge in the middle of a desert. So he went away to get more education. All he succeeded in getting was a headache. Chapter II required more imagin- ation on Sol's part but Imagination is his middle name and he was both- ered not in the lcast by the fact that the newspapers were not printing his name. He hates to see his name In print—just like “Tippy” Fay- 3o Sol had an idea. He reported to the police that the “Red Hand” society had sent him a letter demanding something like $200. If he didn’t leave it in the stump of the lightning blasted oak down by the ‘old mill he was to be MURDERED., When the “Red Hand” society expected Sol to get $200 is the real mysterious part of the affair. [f the demand was for $2 it might have been more In keep- ing Wwith Sol's financial status. Well, Sol didn’t leave the $200 at the spot indicated by the blood-thirsty crit- ters for obvious reasons. . ‘Which introduces the gentle read- er to Chapter 1II. On the night fol- lowing the one specified by the “Red Hand,” Sol was meandering through the north end of the city when he was set upon—yes, honest injun— and given a terrible beating. By whom? The “Red Hand” societx or portions thereof- He reported the matter to the police but all he got was sympathy—and not much of that, Sol offéred - as- evidence ‘of the as- sault a long ‘“cut” on his arm. but it looked to the police suspiciously like a =cratch that ‘could have been inflicted by the index finger on Sol's right hand. Ho Hum, life a prosaic villa like New Britain was poison u.‘”s\fxp. A chap must have an opportunity to display his talents y'know. So Sol went to New York and thereby hangs Chapter IV of “Fairy Tales.” Sol was arrested far chloroforming a tailor and when questioned by the police he spun a yarn that made those poor, old, trusting New York consta- bles gasp. Gubernich said he went to the New Britain Institute a week ago to read— still thirsty for knowledge, yv'see. On his way home an automobile party inquired the way to Berlin, Being an obliging young fellow, 8ol offered to get into the machine and go as far as Berlin with the strangers. He was no sooner seated in the tonneau than he was grabbed and held pris- oner, while his captor leaned over to the driver and said: “Now we have the child. Let nothing stop us un- til we hit Manhattan” or ,words to that effect Sol—poor Sol, imagine the feelings of the noble vouth as each' minute saw him carried farther and farther from home, friends and supper—struggled. -But in vain, This here now captor was not an ord dinary sort of a captor. ' No in« deedy. He must have been “Bill the Bite,” one of the most blood thirsty flends Old King Brady ever dealt with. On, on, they sped—this wasn’'t a Flivver car—until the lights of the great city began.to creep up over the horizon, At last the journey was ended. car stopped before a mean looking tavern from which came sounds of maudlin laughter and coarse language, showing that the denizens of the un- derworld were enjoying a high revel. Sol was informed that “Tango Tes- sie,” queen of the Dope Smugsglers Literary society, was celebrating her sixteenth birthday and that if he said a word his skin would be separated from the rest of his body. He was hustled into the shack, thrust krooly into a room containing only a cot and a chair, provided with a crust of bread and a glass of East River water and told to keep quiet. The grating of the key in the lock told Our Hero that he was a prisoner. After being detained for several days, Sol was led from his prison and told to go to the store of Max Schwartz, a tailor of 86 Rivington street, and secure the old man’s money. Failure to carry out the assignment meant death. Sol went. He entered the tailor shop under pre- text of wanting to buy a pair of trou- sers. ‘While he was examining some of the goods, he poured some chloro- form on a handkerchief clapped it over Max’s nose, robbed him and snuk back to his Fagins.

MEN AND WWOME diseased ! so1, this | { it was not long before 8ol was locked in a nice, cool cell. On being questioned by the police, he told them of his adventures since being kidnapped from New Britain. The police did not express any opin- lons but they collaborated in smiling a smile and then they informed the New Britain police. It is not known when Sol's trial will be held but judging by the evi- dence the police say they have against Chapter V will not be written for some time. Meanwhile, the world must wait, for Jules Verne is dead and Sol Gubernich is in the | clutches of the law. Gubernich was given a hearing yes- terday in New York and was held without bail for trial on charges of WOMAN HAS RIGHT T0 HIDE HER AGE “AlI Girls Do It” Is Disclosure of Mrs. Sophie Gordon Although sensational disclosures were expected in the case "against Amron Gordon of Greenwood street, charged with non-support, when it came before Judge Kirkham in police court this morning they failed to ma- terialize. The biggest sensation oc- curred when Mrs. Gordon blushingly admitted that when she was married to Gordon in Brooklyn on August 9 she gave her age -as twenty-three, when in reality she was twenty-seven years old. ‘“‘But lots of girls do that about their age. It is privilege they've got,” declared Mrs. Gordon as she hid her face behind her wed- ding certificate. Later she asked Assistant Prosecutor Woods to ques- tion her husband about the age he gave, saying that although he is but twenty-three, he told the alderman he was twenty-six years of age. After hearing the entire case, Judge Kirkham ordered Gordon to furnish a bond of $250 to pay his wife $2.50 a week for six months. Bonds were fixed at $200 for an appeal. Mrs. Gordon said she met Gordon in New Britain on June 10. During July she met him at Coney Island, af- ter having received a number of ar- duous love letters from him. She ad- mitted that she did not know his parents, but didn’t care, she said, be- cause he was all she wanted. On August 9 she and Gordon went to an alderman’s office and were married in Brooklyn. In her affidavit she said she was twenty-three years old, but she admitted that she had observed twenty-seven birthdays, but was sim- ply doing as other girls do in hiding her age. It was not Lawyer Saxe's fault, however. that there were no real sen- sational developments, for he tried to prove to the satisfaction of the court that Mrs. Gordon was previously mar. ried to a man in Russtan\and he is still living, and she had never ob- tained a legal divorce. On these grounds he attempted to prove that the marriage with Gordon was not binding. Mrs. Gordon admitted that she was married in Russia nine and one-half years ago, but® that six months after her wedding she was di- vorced. She exhibited a post card written by her father in 1907, and signed by a Russain rabbi, in which mention was made of her divorce, which had taken place three years previous, and purported to be docu- mentary evidence to show that she was legally divorced and could mar- ry at her pleasure. The accused toQk the witness stand and declared there is absolutely no possibility of his living with his wife. He has no work at present but until two weeks ago was employed at the New Departure company in Bristol where he earned from $9 to $12 per week. Before the case was concluded Lawyer Saxe hinted at some real dis- .closures that may come later. Bailiss Fined $25. Tsrae] Bailiss came into' court and throngh Lawyer Saxe entered a plea of guiliy to the charge of cruelty to animais. A week ago yesterday a horse he was driving dropped dead on Arch street from abuse and although the accused admitted it, he declared that the act was unintentional on his part. Assistant Prosecutor Woods bcintea out that the horse was twen- ty vears old and weighed only 800 pounds. The load the beast was forced to draw weighed in the neigh- borrooa of 3,000 pounds. He also declared that three months ago Bail- iss had another horse dic under sim- ilar circumstances. 1 er Saxe said his client had purchased the horse for $40 and did not know its weakened condition. Had it not slipped and fallen on the pave- ment the case would never have reached the court, he said. Judge Kirkham imposed a fine of $25 ana costs. lawyer Saxe asked that Baliss given probation so that the can p: up. He said he was receiving no pay as his attorney and Bailiss' sole for- a be able him to buy a new horse. “But the court doesn’'t want him to have another horse. A man who will abuse an animal as he did has no right 10 own a horse,” said the judge. However, he gave the accused time in which to pay his fine. Wine for Broken Jaw, Adolph Slepski made an unusual plea. when he told the court he took to drink only when his doctor ad- vised him to drink wine for his health. Slepski figured in an acci- dent in New York seven months ago in which his jaw was broken his sister-in-law, Mrs. Slepski. who ac- cused him ‘of smashing in the window at her house. A fine of $15 and costs "was imposed, for the doctor's pre- tune consists of $15 and even now he | is trying to earn enough more to en- | Officer | Storey arrested him on complaint nf‘ scription did not include smashing windows, Fights With One Arm. A fine of $7 and costs was imposed on Mike Fienz and Orazio Cahelleone, charged with breach of the peace. An amusing incident occured- when the two men were sworn in. Cabelleone has but one arm and when Clerk Dan- berg safd ‘‘Raise your right hand,” there was an embarassed hesitation until Prosecutor Klett suggested that he raise his left hand in lieu of the right. Officers McCue and Birming- ham arrested the two men near Skri- tulski's hall last night when they saw Cabelleone chasing Fienz. Fienz sai{ Cabelleone picked on him and finally punched him, but he declined to re- taliate because he would not take ad- vantage of the one armed fighter. Too Much Mother-in-Law, “My wife refuses to care for two chlidren by my first wife and there's t00 much mother-in-law,” is what John Bower declarea caused the trouble which resulted in his being ar- rested yvesterday afternoon on a charge of assauiting his mother-in- law, Mrs. Ann Gooawin of Washing- ton Place. Mrs. Goodwin ‘testified that Bower came home yesterday afternoon and packed up his belong- ings. She objected to letting him leave the house until he paved her two weeks hoard she claimed he owes. He struck her in the shoulder, she sald, and then when she followed him to the back door and again tried to prevent him from leaving he knocked her down the stairs. Mrs. Bower also exhibited a distaste for her husband. She said he came home drunk and raised a rumpus during which he flourished a razor and threatened to kill himself and her. Mrs. Robinson, & sister-in-law of the accused, also testified against him. The family said Bower took a heavy match-safe from the wall and struck his mother-in- law with it. Bower told a pathetic mestic trials and tribulations, He said he has worked for a brewing company for four years and has not missed a day's work. He earns $21 a week and turns every cent of it over to his wife so that if he wants only a paper of tobacco he has to borrow the nickel from her. For the past three or four days he has had little to eat, he said, and his wife and her family pester him all the time. | “It's too much mother-in-law" Bower declared. He was represented by Attorney W. F. Mangan. Judge Kirkham continued the case for one week in charge of probation officer Edward C. Connelly. Boy Hits Mother. Fifteen yearsold Charles Rosen of Olive street was heard in cham- bers on a charge of assaulting his mother, Officers Cosgrove and Wag- ner arrested the boy at his parent's home., Judgement was suspended and the case was continued in care of Lawyer M.
