ON$10,000 CLAIM FOR FLOOD DAMAGE Property on Farmington Avenue Tovolved in Legal Action PAPERS 70 BE SERVED ON OFFICIALS TODAY Plaintift Blames Municipality for Depreciation of Value of House on Account of Its Failure to Pro- vided Suitable Sewerage Facilities " —Storm in April, 1929, Sald to Have Inundated Cellar. Papers will be served this after- noon on Mayor George A. Quigley, City Engineer Philip A. Merian and Clty Clerk Alfred L. Thompson- in ‘a sfit against the city of New Brit- ain, brought by George A. Riley, owner of property on Farmington avenue, near the junction of Beaver street and Washington street, in which damages of $10,000 is claimed because of alleged failure of the city to keep a stor msewer opening clear- ed and allowing water to settle in the basement of the property, caus- ing~an alleged depreciation in its value and preventing its rental. Ac- tion is being brought through the law firm of Dunn & Googel, Samuel Googel taging the action in the ab- sence of Attorney David L. Dunn, who is coaching the University of Vermont football team. According to the complaint, Mr. Riley was the owner of the property, listed as Nos. 161-163 Beaver street, byt actually located on Farmington avenue, although the Beaver street numbers are still on the house. Bea- ver street ends-on the property next #outh from the Riley property. Build Culvert on Property On December 30, 1926, a culvert 150 feet long was built by Mr. Riley, according to plans made by the city engineer’s office, the culvert running through the property and being built to make a new passage for storm waters, so that the house mentioned in the suit could be erected on the site where a ditch formerly was lo- cated. The culvert cost Mr. Riley more than $3,500 and after the floor of the culvert was laid, it was found that there was an error in the plans, the floor not being on an even level all the way and liable to cause con- gestion by accumulation of debris in the low places. The opening in the culvert was 42 inches and this would have been sufficient to carry off all storm water if the opening were kept cleared. The opening, in fact, was sufficient, until the month of April, 1929, when, be- cause of the rubbish allowed to ac- cumulate, and during a heavy storm, the water could not enter the culvert and the basement of the Riley prop- erty was flooded to a depth of sev- eral feet, the plaintiff alleges. Claim Negligence by City - In April, 1928, the board of finance authorized an appropriation by “the city to build a storm sewer culvert through the section in which the Riley property*is located, but after work of a few weeks, the project Wwas abandoned. Because of the failure to _complete this job, the culvert built by Mr. Riley, with its open end at the inlet was covered with dump refuse, rubbish and other materials 50 that on April 1, 1929, 30 inches of the 42 inches was filled, allowing but 12 inches of space for water to flow through. Every storm since then has resulted in an overflow into the basement of the house own- ed by Mr. Riley, he claims, and as a consequence he has been unable to keep tenants in the house. He has tried to sell the property, but tM® conditions surrounding the sewer “have prevented a sale, he alleges. Mr. Riley clalms $10,000 damages to compensate him for his losses in rents, loss in profit on a sale of the property, cost of building the cylvert and court costs. The action is re. turnable in the superior court fn Hartford on the first Tuesday in No- Vember. THERMAL DIFFERENGE RUNS SMALL ENGINE Turbine Operates at 4,000 Revolutions in “Tube” Tests .Havana, Oct. 3 (P—Thermal dif- ferences between surface water and colder water from the depths of the Gulf of Mexico have been utilized by Professor Georges Claude, French scientist, to generate new energy. . - A small turbine installed by scientist on Matanzas Bay made 4,- 000 revolutions per minute, deriving its power from steam gencrated by submitting warm surface water to a vacuum. The steam, utilized to turn the furbine, was reduced again by con- densation to water, the process heing used to maintain the vacuum necessary to generate the steam. Cold water from the depths of the Gulf of Mexico was used for the condensation. The turbine, yesterday produced ten kilowatts of power, Professor Claude pointed out, however, that as he had expected he had at this stage of his experiment been forced to use more {initial energy in getting the turbine started than he had been able to produce. the | Baseball Czar at World Series Judge K.

SWEDISH DRY LAW INFERIOR TO U. 5. Severin Johnson Believes Ameri- can Method Has Advantages PROGRESS THERE 1§ SLOW System Not Making Rapid Advancement, Buell Street May Says on Return From Long Visit to Hofmeland. The prohibition law in the United States is the best means of over- | coming the evils of excessive drink- ing of intoxicating liquor in the opinion of Severin Johnson of 215 Buell street, who has returned home after spending practically the en- tire summer at his home in Brantas, ‘Westergottland, Sweden. Mr. Johnson, an ardent believer in temperance, said today that he had an opportunity to study the Swedish system which is'similar to that which some anti-prohibitionists are sponsoring in the United States. The liquor traffic is under govern- ment control in Sweden and it is necessary to have a special licen: similar to the automobile operator'es license before a person can receive liquor, according to Mr. Johnson. Every persen is allowed two quarts of liquor a month and it is-meces- sary for all applying for certificates to appear before what is termed the temperance board and prove they are possessed of character, finances and reputation before being allowed the use of liquor. Education Slow Mr. Johnson said the system used in the efforts to establish prohibi- tion in Sweden is through education but this is a slow method and at times it is discouraging. Many of the educated men are drinkers and the efforts on the part of temper- (Continued on Page Two) ATTY, GOOGEL ENTERS .

Peiping, China, Oct. 3 (P—Mes- sages reaching the British consul at Foochow today said that Miss Edith Nettleton and Miss Eleanor June Harrison, British missionaries who were captured last July by com- munists at Chungan, northern Fun- | kien province, had been shot. Their execution followed failure | of protracted negotiations for their release, in the course of which the bandits cut off one of Miss Nettle- | ton's fingers and sent it to British | consular authorities as a reminder of their threats of “death if | ransom money of $100,000 was not | paid.

Officials Deeply Moved London, Oct. 3 (A—The public generally and missionary circles in particular were deeply moved to- day by advices that Chinese com- | munist bandits had killed the stwo British missionaries, Miss Edith Nettleton and Miss Eleanor June Harrison, because . a ransom for eir release was not paid. Miss Nettleton worked in &, car- pet mill in her home town of ‘Hali- fax, Yorkshire, and was a Sunday school teacher in St. Augustine’s church parish. She went out to China for the Church Missionary society in 1908 and spent most of her time at Chungan working among women and girls. She was home on furlough last year. Went to China in 1896 Miss Harrison was from Cookley, near Xidderminster. She was 63 years old and first went to China | for the Church Missionary society in 1896. Three years ago she re- turned home to live with her moth- er, but last year on her mother's death she volunteered to return to China and work with Miss Nettle- ton. . Reverend W. W. Cash, = the so- clety’s secretary, said that up to to- day hopes had been entertained for releaso of the two women and that today's messages announcing _ that they had been shot was a great shock. 3 “Miss Harrison and Miss Nettle- ton,” he said, “were captured by bandits when, acting under con- sular orders, they were going down the river ffgm their station at Chungan to Foochow. “The bandits hoarded the steamer and took them off, and sincg then (Continued on Page Two) Hennessey Funeral Saturday at 9 A.

By Major Amos A. (Home Run) Hoople Philadelphia, Oct. 3.—Haw! Let us have courage, all is not lost. It ill be remembered that your analytical correspondent selected the Cardinals as the winner of the blue ribbon classic of baseball. Yes- terday oI discovered several tactical errors in the Cardinal strategy and T am going to take the matter up with my friend, Charles Street. To begin with, your correspondent observed a startling bit of bad judgment on the part of Sparky Adams, who holds down what I have termed “the hot corner” for the Cardinals. Mr. Adams, you know, does a great deal of chatter- ing, egad, and it seems to me to he not very well put, areomph! Yesterday, several times I heard Mr. Adams distinetly shout, “Come on Rhem, make 'em hit, make 'em nit" . ;fioople Finds Cards’ Strategy Bad, Their Only Breaks On A’s Pitches Tck! Teck! As if they needed any such admonition as that! In fact, hitting is just about what the Athletics have been doing exclusive- ly. Haw—er, I beg pardon, except for scoring. Mr. Adams should do his shout- ing when the Cardinals are at bat, cgad! It seems to your analytical correspondent that would be more appropriate. Your correspondent became volved in quite an argument a few moments ago. It concerned the breaks of the pastime, “which my friend John McGraw insists have been accorded the Athletics at op- portune mbments. Mr. McGraw was considerably incensed when T amended his assertion by declaring the Cardinals have been receiving breaks as well, but explained to John that the breaks were served up by Messrs. Grove and Farnshaw, Aroomph!

BROSSEAU GETS DECREE OF DIVORCE Gréenwich Society Woman Says Husband Slapped Her Face Bridgeport, Oct. 3 (P—Grace Hill Brosseau, of Greenwich, for- mer president of the Na-| tional Daughters of the American Revolution and prominent in social | circles in Connecticut and New York, was granted a divorce from Alfred Joseph Brosseau, a wealthy New York business man, on the ground | of cruelty, by Judge Alfred C. Bald- | win in superior court here today. She was represented by former State's Attorney Homer C. Cum- mings, and although an uncontested case, the defendant was represented by Judge James F. Walsh. The climax to the married lfe of the couple, according to the testi- mony, came at their home May 14 last. Mrs. Brosseau was in her room dressing for a dinner party when | her husband entered and demanded the key of the wine cellar. During his absence in Europe she had the lock changed. Mrs. Brosseau refused |to give up the key. Mr. Brosseau showed anger, loud words were spoken and suddenly Mr. Brosseau slapped her in the face and stamped out of the room. Mrs. Brosseau attended the fash- ionable dinner party, but marks on her face were distinctly clear and | excited many questions, she said. | Mrs. Brosscau and her three wit- | nesses were outstanding in appcnr-; | ance and attire in the court room. | The testimony of the plaintift was | that she was married to the defen- | dant December 20, 1899. The mar- | ried life of the couple at Greenwich ran smoothly enough until two years ago, when Mrs. Brosseau told Judge Baldwin his attitude toward her changed. “All his affection for me ceased,” she said dramatically. Mrs. Wilson Felder and Mrs. Mary Plunkett, both of Greenwich, testi- fled that they werespresent at the dinner and knew of the husband striking Mrs. Brosseau. Mrs. Felder also was a witness to the assault. *— S THE WEATHER New Britain &nd vicinity: Cloudy tonight and Saturday, | not much change in temper- ature, | | (AT FIRST SENT OUT S 0§ Phelp to it, 500 miles southeast “the best thing we can do for ail| 8 HOUR DAY FO e Nurses Are Becoming Prettier Every Year That the nurse of today is || beautiful but not dumb was the || opinion expressed by Miss Martha | | Wilkinson, state board examiner, | | at the meeting of the educational | | section of the Graduate Nurses' association, in thg First Baptist church this morning.
