Greenberg of this city, | suit for $30.000 againgt the F. W, Woolwerth Co. of New York for in- | | juries alleged to have been ceived in a fall at an entrance to | the company's store in Hartford. According to the writ the accl- | dent occurred on July 18 when Mrs. | Branneck was shopping. While she was leaving the entrance on Tal- | | cott strect adjoining Main street she slipped on a step loudmx to the sidewalk. Tt is alleged that she permanent injuries which a dislocated left shoulder, cated by motor paralysis of the left vpper limb, serious internal in- juries, and a shock to her nervous stem. These injuries were re- aled in a surgleal examination at St. Francis' hospital where she was taken following the accident, it is claimed. Negligence and carelessness of the defendant are alleged in the writ. Tt was said that the step had a slight depression and it tapered at the |center. She further alleged that | there was a foreign substance on the step and that her heel came in con- tact with it. The claim has been made that the b received included compli- tinue to suffer great pain, that she will never be able to use her left arm and that there will be limita- tion of motion in her right shoul- der. These prevent her from doing other household duties resulting in her and other members of the fam- ily being obliged to take up thelr abode with relatives. Will Draft Ordinance Work on an ordinance to license building conttactors will be under- taken at a mecting of the New Brit- ain Master Builders' association, Monday night at the Chamber of Commerce offices. The builders will probably retain a lawyer to prepare the draft, and will also prepare sample examina- tion papers to be submitted to the ordinance committee to throw light on the type of quiz that is usable to bring out an applicant’s knowledge of the huainess he proposes to enter. Membera of the association con- vinced m &pecial committce of the commen council that protection of the public demands licensing and examination, and several members of the council have axpressed senti- ment favorable to the idea As was the case several vears ago when electricians were first required to submit to examinations. it is gen- erally axpected that a large propor- tion of those who now receive per. mits for eonstruction work, will be required to retire from business.

Most of the supporting characters are assigned to the characters of Spaniards, native Cubans of low caste, or mixed breeds cf Spanish, Cuban, African and Chinese blood.
