TRAFFIC IN DOPE ALL THROUGH THE STATE. ik b el Disclosed By Investigation in Hart- ford by State Pharmacy Commis- sion. Trafiic in drugs, the ramification of which extended to the remotest cor- ners of the state, has been disclosed by the investigation of the state phar- iacy commission as a result of which ihe pbarmacy license held by Frank L. Palmer, who conducts the _ drug store at the corner of High and Asy- Tum streets, Hartford, was suspended this week for a period of six months. According to the commission, the ins vestigation is not complete and fur- ther action is likely. The investi- gation implicates Dr. Howard Frank- lin Smith of No. 70 Ann street, Hart- ford, and shows that he has for sev- eral years been selling prescriptions to peddiers of “dope” and that these were in almost every instance, taken to Palmer's_drug store, where they were filled. The amount of the traffic is mdicated by the statement that one ont of half a dozen or more men peddling the dope is known to have disposed of more than $10,000 worth of morphine in the last two years, With wireless stations powerful enough to reach vessels in all Chinese waters, the government of that nation will establish a typhoon warning ser- Bought the Warren House.

One case was continued for more evidence, another was dismissed for non-residence, and two were put over. Dates to Be Secured. The case of William H. Armstrong of this city against Ella Daniels Arm- sStrong of Waterford, in which Mr. Armstrong is suing to have the mar- riage annulled as he claims he was al- ready married when he married this defendant, was called up. Attorney Telley E. Babcock appeared for Mr. Armstrong, who has ady secured a divorce from his first wife. The matter has been before the court before and postponed for more evi- dence. Mrs. Mary Card of Plainfield, aged 73, was a_ witness Friday. She knew Martha Knowles, the first wife of Armstrong, she said, and her par- ents were John and Bsther Knowles of Plainfleld. She has not seen Martha for 25 years. At that time Martha called upon her with a man named George Huntington and a four-year- old child. She introduced Huntington as her husband. The witness located the date by the date of her own daughter's wedding and the case was continued in order to have a copy of the dates produced. Dismisspd For Non-Residence. The divorce suit of Lydia A. Lor- ing of New London, against Harry K. Loring, formerly of Waterford, but now of parts unknown, was dismissed for non-residence. It could not be shown to the satisfaction of the court that either plaintiff or defendant had resided in Connecticut the requisite two vears to give the court jurisdic- tion. Attorney John J. Lawless ap- peared for Mrs. Loring. The couple was married on August 31, 1902 and the wife claimed that her husband de- serted her on February 10, 1910. Her maiden name was Rhodes. The couple have four children. Mrs, Loring testified that they wero married in Amsterdam, A a telegraph operator on she has not been able to locate him since he left her one time after they had quarreled about his drinking hab- its. While she went out of the house to get some groceries he cleared out and took the four children with him. Deserted in Less Than a Year. Divorce on the grounds of desertion was granted to Hildur W, Phelps of ew London from Walter C. Phelps of No. 385 Lenox avenue, New York. She was given the custody of their three year old son. Attorney Clayton B. Smith brought the suit for Mrs. Phelps whose maiden name _ was Wacktell and who.was married on October 15, 1910. She was deserted the 26th of May the next year, she claim- ed. Her husband was a soldier at Fort ‘Wright, Mrs. Phelps said, but she lived in New London and never at the fort. She worked in a silk mill both before and after her marriage and she does not know where her husband is now, Mrs, Charlotie Williams and Mrs. Rose Robinson testified to their knowi- edge of the desertion. David ‘'W. Bradhan, a soldier at Fort Wright, testified to knowing Phelps and that he went away and left his wife. He said that when Mrs. Phelps was about to go to the hospital for the NEW TRUST COMPANY RECEIVER FILED INVENTORY. Net Assets on Hand Are Shown at $280,500.13 at Present.

Receiver A. A. Brown also made ap- plication to have the court allow James M. Young, Jr., to share in the dividends already decls.red as he is the holder of a deposit book for $11.78 in the home bank department upon which the holder has made no claim within the previous timeslimit because the book could not be found at that time and X6 belleved a dlaim without the ‘book would be invalid. Since then the book has been found and present- ed at the bank. The court passed an order allowing the deposit as a c¢laim is_ned 2gainst the*Trust Co., and enabling the holder to Teceive the dividends. From Their Heartless Plrtnen—One Husband a Soldier the Other a Theatrical Man, But Evidence Asked For in Arm- Dispissed as Court Had no birth of her son, who is now four years old, a donation of $75 was made by the soldiers at the fort to help her and the money was given to Phelpa. Mrs. Phelps testified that she never saw any of the money after Phelps got his hands on it. She expects soon to return to Swe- den to live with her mother and to take her boy with her. Had a Cruel Husband. Desertion and intolerable cruelty were the grounds upon which Bertha Hulme Egli of New London was given a divorce from George R. Egli, Jr, alias_Rudolph George of Middletown, Pa. She was also allowed to change her name to Bertha Hulme. The plaintiff and defendant were married on September 23, 1910 and she claim- ed that.his cruelty towards her be. gan about April 2, 1911 Attorney V. P. A. Quinn was counsel for the pe- titioner. Mrs. Egli testified that her husband was an actor, and that she lives in Occum and lived in Willimantic in September, 1910. On the second day after the wed- ding, her husband stabbed her in the back with a small dagger, but the wound was a slight one. One day later when they were living with her hus- band’s people at Occum, he fired a gun towards her, but did not hit her, Once he tied her to a bed and once he horse whipped her. At a later time by their Joint efforts they saved up $100 but he took this and went off with a stock company. She rejoined him later, but he continued to abuse her. He gave her a beating the last time he saw her and she was rescued by her mother, Then he took his trunk and went to his home in Pennsylvania and has not been seen here since. Thomas M. Kelly, a justice of the peace in Baltic, and the parents of Mrs. Egli were also witnesses in the case. The parents told of the way their dlughter was abused by her hus- band. The divorce suit of Mary Genevieve Middaugh vs. William Henry Middaugh went off and the suit of Yetta Ancelo- witz vs. Abraham Ancelowitz was postponed.

CARMAN’S DAUGHTER TO BE A STAR WITNESS; New York, May 7.—When Eliza- beth Carman faced District Attorney Smith at the first trial of her mother for murder in September of last year one of the most remarkable surprises of the entire case ccurred. The spec- tators in the crowded courtroom leaned forward for what was expected to be one of the supremely ecritical moments of the dramatic proceedings. To their amazement however, they heard Mr. Smith inquire of the little girl—she was only thirteen then— with solicitous kindness, “Elizabeth, you love you love your mother very much, don’t you?' “Yes sir, was the forvent *reply. “That is all” politely announced the prosecutor. The child remained in the witness chair per- plexed. Doubt was written plainly on the faces of counsel for the defense. Astonishment swept through courtroom. Then, a mment later, came the general realization and ap- preciation of the most subtle touch of the whole trial. All that the dis- trict attrney might have accomplish- ed by a vigorous cross examination he had obtained, he -bélieved by a single question. But when Elizabeth takes the stand at this trial she will undergo a different experience. Other tactics will be used by the district at- trney. Cunningly laid verbal traps will be spread hefore her. The prose- cutor will try to wring from her what he believes is the truth—namely, that Mrs. Cagman was not up stairs in her room af the time Mrs. Bailey was shot on the night of June 30 last, as Elizabeth and Mrs. Ida Powell, a sis- ter of the accused, swre in corrobo- ratin of Mrs. Carman’s testimony. —_— Lawn Mowers Here is where your requirements can be met.
