MATRIMONIAL AGENCIES FINDING MANY CLIENTS New York, Jan. 9.—Matrimonial agencies operating in Chicago, Den- ver, Kansas City and San Francisco are finding many clients at present in the East, according to detectives who recently saved a yeung white woman, 20 years old, from :North. Carolina who came to New York expecting to meet “a Cuban gentleman of moder- ate means.” The advertiser said he was "educat- ea and -home-loving.” He proved to be the negro janitor of a Bronx apart- ment house. The girl, with a letter from him in her handbag, arrived at the Pennsylvania station from her small home town. She had never been in New York before and a railroad porter turned her over to a Travel~ er's Aid Society worker,K who to accompany her to the home of the man she cajled her “cousin.” Disillu- sioned, the young woman was given shelter for the night; her family tel- egraphed and funds received which permitted her to return home, the townfolk being none the wiser. In the police. investigation of the janitor which followed the man dis- played letters from women who were members of two correspondence clubs one in Oakland, Cal, and the other in_San Francisco. Lists found in his apartment de- scribed women varying in age from eighteen to sixty-seven, as follows: “Beautiful ‘California maiden, 24, sixty seven inches, 133 pounds, brown hair, blue eyes, Protestant, college education, musgician vfith $50,000; wishes to marry a refined business gentleman” “Pretty American maiden, 18, re- sided in Indiana, Sixty-three inches 129 pounds, dark frown hair, biue eyes The churcnes ure eovpu‘m' md special announcements will be me from the pulpits on Sunday, while next Sa.turday will a tag day om hls has not already subscribed by nm time will be a sub- Ject for tagging to add to the Norwich response to the Near East Aid call Those subscribing can - be assured that” every cent they give will be of direct aid in providing food for chil- who might otherwise starve to death for not one penny of the sub- seriptions made will go to office or administration expenses as “all this has been provided for through pri- vate means.

Judge Donald T. Warner of the su- perior court handed down a deeision Friday setting aside the verdiet for the plaintiff which” the ury gave in the suit of John A. Moran, adminisé trator against George H. Bradford, administrator of-the estate of George H. Praft,” in; which the Tuckie es- tate was {rying to secure possession of the so-caled Newmarket hotel prop- erty at 7156° Boswell avenue. The case was ‘tried before Judge .-'Warner in the superifor court Hhere with Brown & James appearing for the plaintiff' and Brown and Perkins appeéaring ‘for the defendant. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff on No- yember 19, which Judge Warner now sets aside, In his memorandum of decision Judge Warner sai: This case presents some unusual and. rather vexing features tc be submitted to and passed upon by a jury. The trial commenced upon the. is- stes joined ,wherein plaintiff claims damages simply, and during the progress of the trial the plaintiff twice amended his complaint, and in each imstance asked for equitable re- Lief, and defendant put in a second ae- fense, claiming in effect an equitable mortgage, and asking for a foreclosure thereof and ‘other equitable rélief, and later demurred to the plaintiff's prayer for relief, because the heirs at law of defendant’s intestate estate were not made parties defendant, which the court overruled, to enable the trial to proceed. And when the evidence was all in defendant with- drew his second defense, wherein he himself had ed for equitable refer. The court is unable to render a money judgment for damages, because of the failure of the jury to find and determ! what if any was the value of the property conveyed Aug. 18, 1914, by plaintiff’s intestate to defendant’s intestate in excess of all incum- brances then existing thereon, as di manded by vlaintiff in his complain and T am now satisfied that the court cannot grant the equitable, relief prayer for, declaring said conveyance void and involving the reconvevance of said proper hecause the heirs of the “defendant’s intestate are not parties to said action. These reasons of themselves would therefore constrain the court to grant the motion to set aside the verdict. Independent of these reasons, more- over, in view of the absence of any evidence. of duress by force or threats, especially when it appears by the an- swer to certain written interroga- tories propounded to the jury, that the plaintiff's_intestate, John Tuckie had mental cavacity to make the said conveyance -and that said conveyanece was not given with the intention to defraud ‘Tuckie's “other creditors, 1 am convinced that the jury made some mistake in their application of the Jegal princinles unon which they . were instructed; or were influenced by prejudice or vartiality; and, therefore. for all of the forezoing reasons, I mrant the motion to set astde the ver- dict. SECOND OCCUM YOUTH ENLISTS IN THE ARMY Arthur J. Godaire of Occum was ac- cepted at the local army recruiting station by Corporal Daniel A. Sullivan for a three vear -enlistment for ser- vice in the ordnance department, Springfield armory, Springfield, Mass. He expressed the wish to be stationed at the same post with his chum, Willie Generous, of Occum, who was accept- »d by Corporal Sullivan Dec. 10, 1919. Tt is the desire of the war department at Washington to place all applicants ‘where they will be the most satisfied. and Godaire’s wish was granted. Many enlistments are made for the Springfield armory, as it is an ideal spot, Tocated in the heart of: Spring- field, and much liberty is granted@ to men who serve there; and there are many opportur\iues to learn different trades. - - The chief signal United States army has instituted a signal corps school for eniisted men and officers of the siznal corps of the army.
