The complainant claims that he did not discover his loss until he was on the boat on the way to New York. The accused is defended by At- torney R. M. Douglass.

Vaudeville and Photoplay: The Davis theatre resumed its pro- gramme of vaudeville on Monday after the summer recess, during which this part of the bill has been temporarily lald aside. The performers who ap- peared for the bill on Monday were given enthusiastic applause, particu- larly for the musical number, the Ricel Trio. Nice singing and comedy that made a hit was put on by Roland and Farrell, and the novelty wire act by Paul Jappra was all that was prom- ised. N Leading in the photoplays was an- other reel of the $10,000 mystery and the accompanying films made this part of the bill a strong attraction. AT THE AUDITORIUM. Vaudeville and Motion Pictures. ‘The new bill on Monday brought to full houses at the Auditorium one of the best prosrammes of the summer, featuring Harry Lavail, who as the DPerfect athlete put over some con- vincing proofs of almost superhuman strength and endurance. Lots of fun was _{hrown over the footlights by those merrymakers, Doncourt and Clay, in their specialty, The Nut DMaa, and the films were excellent in quality and variety, with especial mention go- ing to the opening film of the Trey o Hearts serial. State Hospital And Army Bills. Governor Baldwin on_Tuesday ap- proped the bill of the Norwich State hospital for July for $6.642.07.

An optimist looks at the rim of the doughnut, and not the hole in the center. Because they do not have the broad vision of the optimist, some business men are afraid to advertise: They see the ex- pense but fail to vision the man- ifold returns. Modern business advertises in newspapers because of the im- mediate returns for a compar- atively low ratio of costs. No other advertising is so near one hundred per cent. efficient as néwspaper advertising. f N A e ———— e 3 e s T ROQUE GAMES IN FULL SWING Wins His First Tournament Game from Rodman—Mayor Murphy Welcomes the Players at Tournament Opening—Bosworth and Eddie Clark to Meet in Van Wickle Medal Games. PRES. L. C. WILLIAMSON With fine zest and enthusiasm ‘the players of the National Rogue associ- ation of America atarted off their 33d annual tournament on Tuesday. Threats of rain and the actual humidity were neither of them enough to put a damp- er on the play that began at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning when Mayor Mur,hy, with a skill born of last years prac- tice, shot the first arch and declared the tournament officially on. During the afternoon the tourney got well un- der way and in the evening on the courts a good number of visitors at the Rockwell Street grounds saw a number of the experts getting down to working form in readiness for the battles that are destined for the next few days. > Champion ve. Ex-Champion. National Champion Everett W. Rob- inson was out -on ome of the center courts for one exhibition game quring the evening, and his opponent was Ex- Champion Gharles G. Williams whom he kept wired up most of the time. Mr. Williams _came up Tuesday from Washington, D. C., with lots of pleas- ant_anticipations of his annual visit to Norwich. Fifteen years straight, he sald, he had been coming here, and it is a noteworthy coincidence that this same figure is reached this year by two other of the players, W. L. Rob- inson of Mansfield, Mass., father of the champion, and Jesse E. Webb, of West Chester. Pa And all of them maintain that they like to come back to Nor- wich cach year better than ever. Eddie Clark On Metorcycle. ExChampion F. Bdward Clark came down from Springfleld Tuesday and got to the courts in the middle of the afternocn, after he ond his motorcztle had passed through the storm to the north with temporary results, due to the mud encountered, to both machine and rider. But in the evening he chowed fine form against his brother, Harold, in another of the exhibition games, which he won handily. The social game that Horace WebY played with Loue Stockwell was a fea- ture that had the interest of the on- lookers on the center court. The fine command of the balls that the Phila- delphia plaver evidenced returned him a winner with ease. First Division Starts. The way the first divisioners start- ed off on Tuesday gives plenty of op- portunity for conjecture as to the coming champion. Harold Clark made a strong beginning with three victories in a row, but he has yet to beat the more formidable men. E. W. Robin- son ran away from Rodman in con- vincing fashion Tuesday afternoon in the c3ly tournament game he has played and his exhibition play in the evening showed that he is to be reck- oned with. Eddle Clark also _did consistent steady work with the balls on his first try out and Horace Webb is looked to for a place among the leaders. C. C. Cox reached here on Tuesday evening from Malden, Mass., and he will also be a strong contend- er. Mayor Murphy’s Welcome. Hi pleasure in welcoming the roque Players to this city was cordially ex- expressed by Mayor Murphy Tuesday morning after President Willlamson had wittily introduced him. None of his duties gave him more satisfac- tion, he said, than to unanimously ex- press the appreeciation of the citizens of this city to you who have come here for so many vears. We want you and the clty of Norwich wants you. . New Courts Please Players. It is in the same spirit that the ar- rangements for this year's tourna- ment have been made and are being carried out. The new courts are one feature this year that delights the roquists, who find after playing on them that they are not to be surpass- ed by any of the courts in the country. The secret of this success rests large- ly with Secretary Peale. This spring, following the installation of the ce- ment_borders by Mr. Adams, last fall, Mr. Peale had loam from a bank at the Rockwell Streets grounds deposit- ed in the courts, and on top of that a sufficient layer of sand. Under Care- taker Murphy's direction this was roll- ed and smoothed down, and for several weeks practice games by a number of the boys in the neighborhood, Who next yvear are to be banded into a third division, brought a most desira- ble compactness to the playing surface. The various features that are be- ing arranged for the evenings of the week are also in the line of progress. For the Business Men's night on Thursday evening, Secretary Peale saw President James C. Macpherson of the Board of trade and_President Herbert R. Branche of the Busines® Men's as- sociation on Tuesday 2nd both prom- ised their cooperation in making that night a success. Band Concert. Tonight, the beginning of tha play for the first and second Van Wickle medals and the presence of Tubbs band will be attractive feature Swahn's orchestra played Tuesday evening and tonight Director Swahn will have this concert programme by Tubbs band: March, King Cotton, Sousa. Overture, Willlam Tell, ‘Rossini ‘Waltz, Nights of Gladness, Aucliffe Selection, Rose Maid, Granichstaedten Descriptive, Mill in the Forest, Eflenberg Popular selection, Feist Song Medley, Smita Operatic. Under Many Flags, Klain Finale, Star Spangled Banner. Van Wickle Medal Play. For the first Van Wickle medal, Harold Bosworth-plays the holder, Eddie_Clark, of Springfleld, and the New Londoner was on the courts for a time Tuesday evening practicing. Four out of seven games decides the winner, as in the case of the second medal, ‘arrangements concerning which were completed by Chairman H. T. ‘Webb Tuesday. G. L. Hewitt of Mans- field, Mass., has surrendered the medal to the comnittee, since he cannot play this year, and Rev. R. C. Zortman, D. D., has been appointed to defend the trophy against J. D. Miner of Provi- dence. Dr. Zartman, who leads the second division, is pastor of a parish in Philadelphia’adjoining that of Rev. Peter C. Wright, formerly of Norwich, and the two are close friends. The play for both medals will begin tonignt and will continue the other evenings of the week. This 'is the way the two divisions started off on Tuesday, with the stand- ings of the player: First Division Games. E. W. Robinson defeated W. C. Rod- man. C. G. Willlams defeated W. C. Rod- man. L.

Besides routine business and the election of officers it is likely that there will come up certain changes in the rules governing the game in this country. The legality of certain shots will be considered and there are those who see the advantages of a new system of scoring not by games but by points, which it is belleved would resuit in a fairer division of the honors, and at the same time call out more interest and a greater display of skill. Un this system an arch made would count one point. 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 GRANGE FIELD MEETING HELD IN FRANKLIN. County Pomona Had Big Attendance at Enjoyable Programme. On the lawn of the Franklin Congre- gational church, a place ideal for the event, New London County Pomona grange, No. 6, Patrons of Husbandry, held a field meeting on Tuesday that was one of the most successful meet- ing of the year. For dinner the tables were spread under the trees and the repast that was furnished by the Franklin ladies was an exceptional one. There® were over 200 for dinner and over 250 for the afternoon exercises that were held in the church because of the threaten- ing weather. As it turned out the rain did not come. The singing of America opened the programme, followed by an érgan and AUTO CAVALCADE READY TO START FOR STORRS | County Improvement League Has 82 Machines Promised for the Great Trip Today., Tuesday night all that the County Improvement League wanted to make a complete success of the big automo- bile trip today to Connecticut Agri- cultural College at Storrs was a favorable attitude on the part of the clerk of the weather. With that they are ready to start this morning at 10:30 with banners’ fiying. County Agent Murray D, Lincoln and Secretary E. C. Jewett, who have been working for days like beavers for the success of the trip were able to announce with elation that when the line of autos forms this morning in Shetucket street for the mile-long parade they would have a total of 82 automobiles promised to participate. Besides that they believe that there may be a number of machines that will_join in whose owners have not so far jndicated their intention and all such last-minute arrivals will re- ceive the warmest kind of & welcome. None need hold back now because they have not sent word that their ma- chines are g New London is also to be heard from definitely, and there will be machines to be added to the line at Yantic, Leb~ anon, in Franklin and in Willimantic, and there seems to be no doubt but the 100 automobiles will be secured to participate and make the trip. First Fifty to Join. The following were the first fifty to entoll their machines for the parade: S. Doton, A. D. Lathrop, R. W. Per- . Shore Line Electric company, R. H. Gray, James B. Bates, R. C.

Cardwell, Porteous & Mitcheli, Frank Hamilton, Albert Dawley, D. Shea, L. County Improvement league, C. A. Campbell. The plar of the unique trip is to have the machines start from here promptly at 10.30 this morning from the Improvement leagues’ rooms on Shetucket street. Machines and those Who are to go in them are to report there not later than 10.15 o'clock and the line will be formed in Shetucket street and in Laurel Hill avenue. When the parade starts a tour through Main street will be made, probably as far as Burnham square and Washing- ton street will be used as the route out of the city on the way to Willimantic. It is expected that the college will be reached in about an hour from the time of leaving here. Lunches will be carried by the mer- chants and business men who go and they have been asked to provide a supply above their own needs, as each auto party will have the chauffeur for its guest, and will see that he has a in’ the dinner. Several dozen licants for places in the autos on the trip who decided at the last min- ute that they would like to go had to be denied accommodations. NORWICH DEATH RATE HIGH IN JULY.

That the world's carrying power now _includes approximately 31,000 vessels with an aggregate capacity o 47,000,000 gross tons, is stated appro- priately by the Department of Com- merce, at this time of shipping paraly- sis because of the European war. TI carrying power has increased 100 per cent. in the last 20 years, adds the Department, but the numerical sizeof the world's fleet has actually de- creased, though slightly” showing the great tendency toward larger carrying units.
