Main of Stonington—Desertion Are the . —Norwich Man Before Court. Three cases, of which two were con- tested divorce cases, were down for trial when the superior court came in at New London on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Judge M. Shumway was on the bench. The first case assigned, which was that of Pendleton vs. Pendleton, went off the list. At the request of attorneys the court granted them time to confer with a settlement in view in the case of Elmer E. Vincent of Westerly against Hattie tion. A settlement was reached late in the afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Vincent were married April 29, 1891, and the plaintiff_alleges that he was deserted Jupe 1, 1907. The defendant entered a colinter claim that her husband de- serted her on that date. Payments Not Made to Wife. Earle C. Herrick of this city was before Judge Shumway for contempt of court for failure to comply with' or- ders of the court. Herrick was charged with failing to pay his wife, Edna Morgan Herrick, money for her sup- port. Mrs. Herrick was formerly Miss Ed- band for non-support and after lengthy legal proceedings the court ordered Herrick to pay his wife $5 a week and furnish a bond of $100. In the mean- time Herrick had brought divorce pro- ceedings against his wife. The court was motified that Herrick had failed to comply with the orders, having paid his wife only one week in November and never having furnished a bond. Herrick was ordered brought before Judge Shumway Tuesday after- noon and asked for an explanation. Herrick stated that he had no money bond. Judge Shumway stated that he would continue the case two weeks to glve Herrick a chance to comply with the order of the court and that at that time he would accept no such excuse as that given. Trial of North Stonington Case. After the settlement of the Vincent case, the court began the trial of the contested divorce case of Leonard R. Main against Grace L. S. Main of Stonington on the grounds of deser- tion. Mr. and Mrs. Main were married Nov. 5, 1910, and the desertion is al- leged to have taken place Oct. 10, minor child. VALUE TO LEGISLATORS.

A letter from Secretary Garrison to Chairman Chamberlain, of the senate committee, was made public at the war department disapproving the senator's militia pay bill. After de- claring that the guardsmen always had stood in the way of the organization of a purely federal volunteer force on sovwd lines, Mr. Garrison said: Parting of the Wa; laving arrived at the consideration of ‘a measure involving pay of the na- tional guard, we have come to the final parting of the ways. The pass- age of such a measure would finally and irretrievably commit us to a sys- system in which the people justly have no confidence. . + “It we put the organized militia firmly in the saddle as is contemplat- ed In this bill, the opportunity for adopting a sound. military policy for the nation will have passed beyond re- call. National Guardsmen Speak. The proposal of the guardsmen were well received in both committees. General Foster, Major General John F. O'Ryan, of the New York National guard also spoke and other national guard officers present, including Gen- eral W. J. Stuart of Pennsylyania, Ohio and General W. F. Sadler, Jr., of New Jersey, were agreed that- there was no constitutional barried to a very complete degree of federal control over the National guard. Congress never had fully used its power in that di- rection, they declared. Only the extra territorial use of the state forces with- virtually al countries were alike. Dis- cussing the question of compensating the militia, General Foster said: a dollar from the public treasury for which it cannot give a full measure of service in return. In the first place it should be considered that under any system of volunteer military service the government must pay for such ser- vice and that whether this cost takes the form of expenditures to train fit soldiers for active duty, or is paid in bounty and pensions to compensate for casualties attributable to the incom- petency of unpreparedness, is a matter of choice; but with all argument for economy favoring the first named.” General Foster declared the war de- partment had favored militia compen- sation legislation all along although the present secretary has not specific- ter issued by Secretary Garrison, Gen- eral Foster read a report of the con- ference between his committee and the secretary last October, when the ad- ministration plans had been discussed. The report had been dictated by Mr. Garrison, he sald, was as follows: Report Dictated by Garrison. “The final matter that remains in my memory that has not been alluded to T propose to state In exactly the form in which it occurred, so that there may be no misunderstanding.
