Judge C. L. Avery has overruled the defendant’s plea in abatement. Attorneys for defendant presented the plea in abatement on the ground that the writ and complaint were {ssued by Ben- jamin H. Hewitt, a commissioner of the superior court on Sunday, Jan. 22, 1922, at Mystic, contrary to the provisions of the statute which reads that “all civil pro- cesses, excapt complaints for njunctions and orders thereon, isdued or served be- tween sunrise and sunset on Sunday shall be vold. Judge Avery finds that the writ was is- sued Jan. 22 and served Jan. 25, & wesk day. Process maybe lssued or served on Sunday before sunrise and after sunset (general statutes 5608-6450.) From all that appears the process in this case may have {ssued either before sunrise or aftor sunset. The plea in abatement is overrul- ed.

Rogers of New London has been appointed chairman for New London county of the Military Training Camp assoclation. The apooin! ment is made by Representtive Seth L. Plerpont of Ridgefield, state chairman in charge of recruiting for the camp of oftic- ers at Devens this summer. Curtailment of the military agpropria- tion In congress to the figures fixed by the house would deprive over 135 Connec- tlcut reserve officers of the Seventy-sixth division of an opportunity to attend this 15-day training course, it was said yester- day by Major Frank C. Mahin, United States army instructor of the Connectic: National Guard. It would also keep neas Iy 100 Conmecticut youmg men from the 1922 civilian military training camp to be held there during the month of August he said. Under the original appropriation of $4,- 400,000 asked for the purpose of sendinz 20.000 resenve corps officers to cap, about 200 of those assigned to'the Seventy-sixth division, Including nearly 160 from Con- necticut, would have been able to attend The house, however, cut the appropriation 0] $250,000, under it would be possible to send only 28 from the Seventysixth &lon, of whom about 23 would be from this state. The war department is seeking $2.500,- 000 to cover the expenses of the civilian training camps this year, but the house is disposed to allow only $1,875.000, ac cording to Majoh Mahin. I the senate should succeed in_ getting a conference agreement on the higher figure, it would mean that 530 Connecticut civilians could attend the camp this vear, instead of 430 The 250,000 appropriation alowed by SHETUCKET COAL & LUMBER CO.

Stackpole of Boston, chairman of re- cruiting for the First Corps area.

Rus- sell, West Hartford; Litchfield county, Secretary of State Donald J. Warner, Salisbury ; Fairfield county, Afbert M. La- verf, Bridgeport; New London county, Representative Ernest E.
