Burpee made it known in the superior court session at Hartford Wednesday morning that it was his desire to protect Anna Mil- dred Wright, who was born in War- renviile, town of Ashford, July 4, 1905. "She is”the child -of Mary Elizabeth Wright, who was Mary E. Button, and who lives in Hockanum, and Earl Ros- coe Wright, who lives in Warrenville, and in whose custody Anna is. Anna’s -parents were involved in a divorce | broceeding, before. Judge Burpee. Anna ‘Was"in tHe court room and while her father .was contesting. the right of Anna’s mother to be divorced the really serious element in the case was the custody of Anna. Her mothep wanted legal custody of her, and so did the father, and Anne was really the cause of the fight. The proceeding in itself was cer- tainly a great day for Ashford and Warrenville. . There was a large at- tendance and many of those present were residents of the eastern part of the state, to be witnesses on one side or the other. Mrs. Wright charged her husband with habitual intemper- ance and intolerable cruelty: Royal W. Thompson was her lawyer. William A. King and Samuel B. Harvey, both of Willimantic, appeared for Wright. The case was brought a few months ago to the superior court of New Haven coun- ty. Mrs. Wright at the time of the in- stitution of the action being a resident ar-Maford:~ & few weeks ago, however tire case was:transferred from New Haven county.to the superior court of Hartfofa county for the convenience of the parties. _The couple were married at Hebron oh July 4, 1899. Mrs. Wright lived in Turnerville then and taught school in Warrenville. After the marriage, she and her hsuband went to live at the home of her husband’s parents in War- renville. Judge Burpee told the lawyers that he would suspend. the hearing for the time, as he had an appointment to g0 into the conference with the judges of the supreme court. He said that the invariable rule with him in such cases fhad been to put the child in the tody of a third person. In speakin the lawyers he said that he would sug- gest that “you gentlemen, not as law- vers, but as gentlemen,” get together and see_if something could not be done to avoid the necessity of an open court hearing for the sake of the child and the parents. A conference was held and the attor- neys agreed on Judge Gideon H. Welch of Torrington as a committee to hear the evidence. « FORBIDDEN BUT UNPOSTED COLCHESTER PATHWAY, Norwich Auto Party Held Up for Three Dollars by Village Authorities. An auto party of Norwich people was taken to Colchester Thursday evening by Joseph E. Spicer, and while driving about the village the car was hailed by a constable and the driver warned ‘that his number had . been taken and he would hear from the ofii- cial later. It was found that the use of a path across the green wider than the auto tracks by about two feet had been pro- hibited' by vehicles, but that there is nothing to indicate this to a stranger, and the path was being used under the supposition that it was a highway. The constable and a justice of the peace were hunted up later and the matter adjusted by a payment of $3 but the Norwich party was especially sore over such treatment where there was no intention of evading the law and no signpost to'indicate that it was forbidden to vehicles. From Statements made to them by Colchester people, it was declared to be a “trap” in which others have been caught and made to settle. Were Married Last November.

The work of the ¥ just past is such as to make on with any periéd_since our organization, because of the very efficient lead- rship _of our general secretary. Mr. dnd the hearty co-oper of every officer, director and committee member, our statistics at the present time show a much larger average than ever before. There have been no changes in our officers, and many of the committees have retained the same members as in other years. Business Department. For the tenth consecutive time we have closed our books without a deficit for current expenses and the treas- urer's report ‘shows a statement of all bills paid and a balance in the treas- ury. This is especially gratifying be- cause of the fact that certain of our contributors have felt the pressure of the times and some of our larger con- tributions were necessarily withdrawn, Death also has taken from our list of contributors a number who have been exceedingly generous in days past. The finance committee #as recommended the raising of our funds for the new year in_the same manner as has been followed in the past four years, and 1 again ask your very earnest and pray- erful co-operation in the financial campaign which begins next week. According to our membership com- mittees’ report, our membership on May 1, 1815, is 818, which is an in- crease of 78 over that of May 1, 1914. President Case spoke of the need of more adequate quarters for the asso- ciation because of which during the vear the trustees and directors unani- mously voted to sell the present build- ing at such time as a favorable offer might be received, and steps.to this end are being.vamited rd, . on PINAFORE PROFITS RAISE PLEDGE Woman’s Auxiliary Will Have Money to Make $400 Pay- ment to Y.

He also spoke of the shop meet- ings held ly for a period of some thirty weeks in four shops the past season. Educational Department. In taking up the work of the educa- tional department, the president said the work in this department has been carried on along lines similer to those of preceding vears. He referred to the course in salesmanship conducted by L. M. Crandall, the Star entertainment course, practical illustrated talks to the boye and the moving picture exhi- bitions. Social Department.

In speaking of this department, Mr. Case said: Mr. kerson’s work has been of the very highest order during the past vear; in fact, I think we have never had so factory an all- around gymnasium work as during the year just cl This h oz cially true in t and much personal benefit has been derived by many of our young men.
