FORECLSURE CAGE 1 70 oo Old King Winter Talks In Two Different Languages IN SUPREHE COURT Judge Brown's Reversal of Judge Roche's Finding Appealed An appeal to the supreme court of Connectlcut has been taken by Lyon & Billard Co. of New Haven from the decision rendered by Judge Allyn W. Brown of the su- perior court on January 7 in the case of Nair vs. Cianflone, an action of foreclosure of mechanics’ liens on two pieces of property on Day street, Action in the case was first start- ed in October, 1927, and it has been featured by a number of unusual incidents, one of which involved two orders of $1,000 each given by the construction company to Rog- ers Sash & Door Co. of this city and Lyon & Billard of New Haven. The goods were not delivered or used because of the action which was brought. In the city court, Judge Henry Roche decided that the orders were sood and that Harry Zevin, who was the mortgager of the construc- tion loans, should pay each com- pany $1,000. He also granted the foreclosure of the mechanics’ liens for $15,500. Nair & Nair of this city, repre- senting the holders of the licns, Louis Nair, appecaled the decision and Judge Brown reversed Judge Lioche, deciding that the orders were not good and that the $2,000 ordered by Judge Roche to be paid to the two companies, should be Ppaid to the lienors.

The wheels of the truck caught in the trolley tracks and caused it to swerve to the left side of the street, striking the curb and turning over. The Connecticut Ple Baking Co. ef 90 Maple Avenue, Hartford, owns the truck, which was loaded with pies and they’were smashed by being thrown about the inside of the machine. Dr. John Purney was called to at- tend Lynch and at the hospital this afternoon it was said there were in- dications of internal injuries. He was in considerable pain, complain- ing of the abdominal region, and he may also have an injury to his hip. Officer Thomas C.

Licutenant Samuel Bamforth was notified last night by Stanley Ko- bos, proprietor of a store at 96 Broad street, that two boys tried to pass a $5 counterfeit bill in the store. Mrs. Kobos tried to hold onto them while her husband called the police, but they were too strong for her and pushed her away from the door. The bill was lost by a federal agent who was in this city yester. day running down the counterfeits jand the boys apparently picked it up and proceeded to try and spend it. Kobps turned the bill over to Officer Alfred Tanguay, with a spurious 25 cent piece which was passed in the store some time ago. MATHER OPENS FIRE ON POISON ALCOHOL . (Continued from First Page) beled, be under surveillance but the members of the “Bummers’ Club” will be given scant consideration if found under the influence of the poison alcohol. last summer a number of the habitues of the “Billboard Hotel” on Church street were taken into cus- tody by the police and later given jail smentences in police court. The action of the authorities for a time demoralized the activities of the gang, but similar conditions are again cropping up and another cleanup is scheduled. The first definite step was taken in the campaign last night when Officers Connelly and Norton brought Robert Robinson in for in- toxication and vagrancy. John C. Gloade, a barber of 453 North Main street, was arrested at the same time on a oharge of intoxication after Mrs, Gloade had made a com- plaint 1o police headquarters. Prosecuting Attorney Mather con- tinued the case of Gloade until Feb- ruary 28. Robinson, who came to this city from Maine ‘a short time ago, will be sent back to that state at the expense of the city authori- ties. President Faunce Is 70 Years Old Today Providence, Jan. 15 (#—Presi- | dent William Herbert Perry Faunce |of Brown university today cele- | brated the 70th anniversary of his birth. Looking back over a long and | useful career yesterday he drew from the picture one outstanding lesson—that tolerance, which is all desirable, can only be attained through understanding. Looking at today, he applied that very lesson. “The college of today is better than the college of 50 years ago,” he said, “because pro- fessors have learned to work with the students rather than lecture at them.” “I have had an extraordinarily happy life,” he asserted at the out- set. “If T had it to do over again, my life work would be the same. :' would redevote myself to educa- on."” Immigration Officers Break Smuggling Ring Los Angeles, Jan., 15 (®—Faint echoes of the past, when Chinese, bound hand and foot, were dropped from tramp steamers into fast lit- tle boats off the California coast and rushed ashore or thrown over- board as the luck of the amugglers permitted, were heard here today as immifiration officers told how they had broken up & $500,000 alien smuggling ring. trawler must have been. stay on the fishing grounds.

Mrs. Bramwell Booth was not present when the morning session opened since she had remained at her husband's bedside until the last moment. Her motor car stopped first at a villa which members of | the Booth family have been eccupy- ing outside of Sunbury court.
