Wealthy New Yorkers ! Living at Shippan Point Want to Secede From Stamford and Become Separate Town. MOTOR LIABILITY CHANGE ALSO ASKED | State Capitol, Hartford, Jan. 25| ) — A law similar to the Baumes law of New York will be in effect in Connecticut, it a bill, offered by Representative Steiber, of Bridge- port, to the general assembly to- day becomes a law. The measure provides that the fourth conviction for crime which is felony here, or the attempt to commit felony, shall be sentenced to prison for life. Under the Baumes law a person convicted a fourth time for acrime may be sentenced to prison for life. The Connecticut law would leave with the judge the decision as to whether the person convicted & fourth time would be sentenced for life. In New York a fourth con- viction makes suoh a sentence mandatory. Wealthy New Yorkers who live at Shippan Point today asked Sen- ator Kenealy and Representative Tisher to present identical bills in tho general assembly for secession of Shippan Point from Stamford City and Town and formation of the “Town of Shippan.” The petitioners claim that they | got no return from Stamford in the way of improvements or accommo- dations for taxes paid.

New Court House Asked Attorneys here who desire that superior and common pleas court sesslons shall be held in this city Jor trial of cases originating in this end of Fairfield county sent to the general assembly today a bill for a new county court house to be placed in Stamford. There is also a provision for a bond fssue on the part of Fairfield county to build the structure. The petitioners also have an al- ternative bill in case the new court house one is turned down by pro- viding for sessions of both courts here after September 1, 1928. The bars of Norwalk, Stamford and Greenwich are said to have united in the demand on the ground that one-third of all cases tried in Bridgeport sittings of the superior and common pleas courts originate in this section, and they claim it is an injustice to make clients pay expenses of going to Bridgeport when trials are held there.

Washington, Jan. 25 (#) — Great Britain's preparations for defense of her interests in China apparently {will not be followed, for the pres- ;ent at least, by any extensive con- |centration of American forces in the Orfent.
