Harold Gilpatric Sent ta treasurers of towns in the state, Monday afternocn, checks for the amount of the penalty tax to which each was entitled for 1921 There were 132 towns in the list. There were no estatés in the other thirty-seven fwwns liable for the tax. The total amount colleced was $248,24151. Atter deductions for refunds to estates, etc., the state deducted 20 per cent. of the total and transferred the amount of thiz percentage, amount- ing to $49.648.32, to the civil list funds of the stae. ' The total amount distrib- uted to the towns on Monday was $198.- 593.19. / Last year the towns received $360.- 450.49 and the state $90,112.13. The amount from the tax in 1920 was un- usually large owing to the sum re- ceived from the plant estate. This year the town of Ridgefield received the larg- est amount of the tax. This was due to the amount of the penalty tax levied on the estate left by the late Frederick T. Lewis of Ridgefild. The penaity tax is levied on estates which have not paid local taxes on property or the 4 per cent. tax to the state which may be paid on lieu of local taxes. The tax levied is at the rate of 2 per cent., and runs back five years.

During the first eight months of this year, January 1st to August 31st, there were two deaths in Norwich from diph- theria according to a statement issued in table form by the state devartment at health. There were in Norwich during that period 27 cases of diphtheria and the death rate is miven as 10.0 and the fatality rate 7.4. In New London dur- ing the same period there were 3 deaths and 13 cases, the death rate being 16.3 and the fatalitv rate 23.1. In the town of Stonington there were 10 cases and no deaths and in the town of Windham there were 9 cases and no deaths. Lr. Stanley #°. Osborn, director of the bureau of preventable diseases of the state department of public health, says in a statement: The increase in the use of diphtheria’ antitoxin in preventing the spread of diphtheria by immunizinz nersons and in curing diphtheria® is keeping this diseast from becoming epidemic in the state, It seems probable that many of the deaths that contribute to the high fatality rate iIn certain communities is due to parents not calling a physician carlier in the course of the disease. Often the child dies or is practically moribund by the time the phvsician is called and adminis- ters diphtheria antitoxin. Cases Continued in City Court.

RORWICH BULLETIN, FLEEING SALE Struck in the~ back and seriously Wounded as he was runfing away to es- cape arrest about 10 oclodk Tuesday morning, Andrew Rimbisz, 33, a Salem farmer, is at the William W. Backus hos- pital with a bare chance for his life. The bullet passed through.into the abdomen and lodged in the flesh in the man's side, infilicting such serious injuries that Wis condition is critical Rimbisz was shot when Deputy Sheriff 3. H. Tuibbs of New London and his son- in-law, Constable Dimock, were attempt- ing to arrest the.man at hig farm on com- plaint of beating his wife last Saturday night and several times before. Town of- ficials have been calling for the arrest of the man for several days, said Deputy Shewiff Tulbs Tuesday night, but he had been unable to get there because of oth- er business. Safurday night Rimbisz beat his wife again and she wasbadly used up. She took refuge at the home of Brnest Spencer jon Salem street and has stayed there since.

Brown in the superior court Tues- Tuesday morning at New London in the case of Lillian N. Moore of New London vs Thomas J. Moore of New York city, Mrs. Moore who has brought suit through her father, sought to have her marriage annuled on the ground that she was a minor when married in Norwich Jan. 23, 1920, and that her husband obtained the marriage certificaie by falsely stating her age to be 21. She also claimed that be- ing 2 minor she had Mo written consent from her parents. Mrs. Moore, whose maiden name was Kaplan, also petitioned for the restoration of her maiden name. The Kaplan family formerly lived in Montville. Yvidence in the case declosed that \from Jan. 23, 1920, until Feb. 1921, she MNved with her husband in the house with her parents and she consented to the mis- statements of age by defendant for the purpose of obtainifg the marriage certifi- cate. “The case is nst one In which court can grant relief sought,” say the de- cision. “Section 5262, Revision of 1918 Public Acts, provides that certain speci- fled marriages shall be void, but does not include such a case as this. Section 5263 provides that the registrar upon recieving certain information shall issue a marriage certificate or license for the marriage of the parties name am) further that “mo such certificate shail be issued if either of the parties is & minor until a Parent or guardian haviug control of such minor shall give to the Tegistrar his written consent’ and that apy party =marrying without the required written consent shall acquire thereby\no rights in the property of such person whe Wwas at the time of marriage under the supervision of a con- servator or guadizn.” X A penalty is provlded for the violation knowingly by the registrar or the official performing. the ceremony. The general view is that the disregarding of the pro- visions quoted do not make the marriage “void or voidable.” The general rule is that uniess the statute expressly de- clares a marriage contracted without the nacessary consent of the parents, or oth- er requirements of -the -statute, to be a nullity, such statute will be construed to be directory only, in this respect, so that the marriage will be held valid, although the disobedience of the statute may entail penaities on the licensing or officiating this authorities.
