OMICREON PI DEBATED QUESTION OF PROHIBITION A meeting of “Omicron PL” a his- tory club, newly organized at the N. F. A. was held Tuesday in the school building. There was a largze attend- ance, many taking part in the discus- sion. Prohibition was the subject at ssue, There was at first a very decided di- vision of cpinion. The vigorous argu- ments of the members gave progf that hey are well versed in the problems of today, Gradually the antis, aithough heir opposition was keem, were brought around from. their standpoint against the principles of prohibition to an at- tack against the lack of enforcement. This centered the discussion on the question of whether the country as a whole was benefited enough by the law to tolerate even its lax enforcement. The pro's contended that the condition of the people had been bettered to such an extent that it would be folly to try to repeal the amendment, especially since the‘south and west were so strong- ly for prohibitlon. A telling point brought forward in this connection was that if this law were to be nullified be- cause of its offenders, then all laws would have to be discarded because of a few transgressors. After an hour’s discussion the club resolved that it would do all in its power to influence public sentiment against judges who give lenient sen- tences to violators of the law, and to work for the interests of ' law ana or- der.

New London- JUDGE JENNINGS HEARING AUWOOD. DIVORCE SUIT Walter Auwood of Montauk avenue, New London. was the first witness Thurs< day morning in the superior court before Judge Newell Jennings in the trial of Au- wood’'s suit for divorce from Mary A. Auwoold of Parker street, New Londén. The suit is brought on the ground of adultery. Auwood has been employed as yard clerk for the New Haven road 'for 10 years. He has been married four times, marrying his present wife on Feb. §, 1917, in Brooklyn. He testified to leaving hi: wife on Sept. 29, 1921, because his wife had told him that his daughter snhouid nev live with them and that none of his money would go to support her. His daughter had been the cause of numerous quarrels and had been a sore spot in the family. After his leaving, Auwood says he learned that his wife was intimate with ‘William Thomas of New London, and he+ gave testimony regarding his having the house where his wife lives under obser- vation on several occasions and of seeing them in intimate celations. Auwood gave direct testimony until theliake either the east side Thames river | noon recess and when court reconvened for the afternoon session he was cross- examined by Attorney Motfgan, Suit Against Salvation Army. According to a document filed for Tec- ord in the office of the Hartford town clerk, the Irving E. Bogue company of Norwich, and others, have instituted at- tachment proceedings. against the Sal- vation Army, in a case in which Trum- bull street property is affected. In the complaint, by which the Salvation Army is notified to be represented at . the court of common pleas for New London county on the first Tuesday of Decem- ber, it is alleged that bills for furnishing parts for automobiles and for labor bave not been paid. \ GIVES TRAFFIC DIRECTIONS FOR ENTERING NEW HAVEN Thestate motor vehicle degartment has issued. directions on traffic routes for the ,big crowd that will travel to New Haven Saturday for the Yale-Harvard football game. Traffic entering Connecticut through the eastern part of the state will find best routes noted below: From Boston by the way of Provi- dence and from Rhode Island points, en- trance can be made on onc of four Toutes: 1—Travel proceeding along the Shore foad will enter the state at Westerly, following the Shore road through New London and Saybrook to New Haven. This route is defined with markers on the telephone poles, enclosing -a “1” in la black figure on a vellow backsround. No detours are necessary on this route. Travel entering New Haven will be di- rected by arrow markers by the best route to the bowl. 2—From Providence, travel can—tako the road leading through Coventry and entering the state at Sterling. At Cen- tral Village, turn south cn Route No. 12 to Norwich.. From this point, travel can Route (No. or the weet side Route (No.”12) to New London, thence follow- ing the Shore road as in Route 1 to New Haven. No construction work is in pro- gress and all roads will be found in good condition. 3—From Providence, Westerly through Scituate, travel will enter Connecticut in the town of Killingly, thence following Route § through Danielson, . Brooklyn, Chaplin, Willimantic to Hartford, join- ing the trav® from Springfieldgat .this point, and proceeding te New Haven as noted below. The road from the Rhode Ppland state line, westerly, towards Dan- felson is at present umder construction and detours may be necessary at this point. All other roads are in good con- dition on this route. 32), Graham Hislop Improves. Continued improvement is shown in the of Vaux- hall street, New London, who is a pa- tient at the Home Memorial hospital in that city amputation of his foot, which was shat- tered by a gunshot discharge while hunt- ing at Madison several weeks ago. as a result of suffering they 4—From Providence through Chepach- et, travel can enter the state east of Putnam. The most direct route from this point passes through Pomfret, joining Route 3, defined above, at Chaplin. The Automobile club of New Haven will arrange to place arrow marks at all entrances to New Haven, giving the best route to the bowl. Drivers should fol- low these directions thus avoiding con- gestion and special traffic Tules which will be enforced during the period of the games. The Connecticut state police will have patrols on all of the roads described and the whole system of police protection has been planned as thoroughly as possible. Regulations heretofore ~ published will De in effect and cars will be compelled to stay in the line of traffic when conges- tion beconfes so great that safety will demand that course. Each operator should bear in mind all of the cautions which have been brought |to his attention because the. police are Ibound to be strict on this occasion. The department of motor vehicles will fol- low up and punish any reckless driv- cerned in the traffic to and from the game must exercise the very best judg- ment and care and the police and the department feel justified in demanding it of them. The principal caution to be extended through publicity is that every- one going any distance should leave in plenty of time calculating that traffic is bound to be slow and that ordinary time_schedules between cities cannot be observed. PROBATE JUDGES HAVE QUESTIONS FOR LEGISLATURE The question as to which one is to |be considered the survivor where hus- band and wife have appeared to die sim- ultaneously was referred to the legisla- tive committee at a meeting of the pro- bate assembly Wednesday at the Hart- ford club with otner matters. The common law presumption has been that the woman, being weaker, perishes first and her husband is technically her survivor, although both -may lose their lives at the same time, as far as can be determined after death. Some states have definite statutes on this matter, and it is likely that the general assem- bly will be asked this year to pass on the matter. The legislative committee has “also been asked by the assembly to try to secure the passage of a law which will clarify section 5,064 of the Genmeral Stat- utes, dealing with the financial and ad- ministrative expenses in cases where death has been accidental and suit has been efitered asking damages for the death of the decedent. - The probate judges wish to have it clearly stated whether the funeral and administrative expenses come from the estate or from the judgment in such cases. Judge B. F. Gaffney of New Bri- tain is chairman of the legislative com- mittee, the other members of which are Judge Otto B. Robinson, Willimantic; Judge Omar W. Platt, Milford; Judge Curtis S. Bacon, Middletown ; Judge Nel- son J. Ayling, Norwich; Judge Elias B. Hinckley, Stonington; Judge Thomas D. Coulter, Essex; Judge Edward Garfield Burke, Deep River; Judge John F. Kea ing, Stamford; Judge William S. Hyde, Manchester, and Denis T. O'Briem, Jr., Meriden. Those present at the meeting includ- ed Judge Elias B. Hinckley, Stoningto: Judge Frank H. Hinckley, Stoningto Judge Otto B. Robinson, Willimantic; Judge David Flagg, Putnam; Judge Os- car Atwood, Brooklyn; Judge Fred Munyan, Thompson; Judge William Ma- rion, Lyme; Judge Clarence H.

The state law provides that all retail sales of unincorporated businesses, shall be taxed at the rate of one dollar per thousand, with a mini- mum tax of five dollars. There are any number of people throughout the state who make a practice of selling goods from house to house; or a side line. and the question that has come up is wheth- er or not they should pay the sales tax. ing which is reported by the police. The | The state has a check on all those who occasion is such that every operator con- |take out peddlers’ licenses, and as a result they come in for their share of tiic tax. The problem is, how the state is to discover the identity of persons who take out no licenses, nor in any way get their names on the official records of Connecticut. Taftville merchants feel that if they are liable to taxation, sim- ply. because they maintain a place of business, those who dispose of merchan- dise at a profit without the expense of keeping a store, should bear their share of the burden. While this subject is be- ing talked extensively among the busi- ness men, the ‘majority of the villagers are little concerned abdut it. They long ago realized that when the legislature lays a tax, the public pays it. The crow colony, which s established every fall and winter in the woods north of the village, has now, probably reach- ed its greatest size, and the cawing of the birds in the early morning before they start on their daily flights, and in the evening when they return to the roost can be heard very plainly in the north- ern section of the town. The roost shelt- ers approximately three to four hundred crows, which is about the usual number, although residents can remember a doz- en years ago, when one year thousands of crows held their meeting here, and the assembling of the flocks was an im- posing sight. At that time, it seemed as though the air was black with these birds, and they arrived in such num- bers that the branches of trees bent un- der their weight and the noise made by them was deafening. About thres vears ago, the crows shifted their roost ta the Lisbon side- of the Shetucket riv- er, where at that time they found com- fortable sheiter in the hemlock trees on the river banks, but the following year found them back in-their old haunts. The crows, which spend.the spring and sum- mer in small groups, begin assembling in these big flocks in September, and un- til March all birds meet ' every even- ing at this common roost, leaying ingthe early morning to forage for their 1 naturalists recall a time several vears back, when the roost was visited by a disease, popularly known as crow roup, which caused birds afflicted by it to, go blind, the sick crows dying by doz- ens in a single night from this dis- ease. The marriage of Miss Margaret Fitz- maurjce and William Nolan was sol- emnized Thursday morning at Sacred Heart church at a nuptial high mass cel- ebrated by Rev. U. O. Bellerose, pastor of the church at 7.30. The church was filled with relatives and friends of the young couple. The' best man was Charles Nolan, brother of the groom, and the bridesmaid was Miss Anna Fitzmaurice, of Norwich, a cousin of the bride. As wedding -party: moved up the aisle, ‘the. Briday Chorus was played by Hugh Kin- der, organist at the’ church. The bride was attractively gowned in white crepe de chine, with rosebuds, and tulle veil caught carricd a bouquet bride’s roses.

While the spot at which the body of a stranger was found several weeks ago, continues to draw people to view the place, local interest in the case is fast dying down. Since it became known that Peter Delisle, or “French Pete” has ascertained that his friend, Peter Shor- rock, is still alive and well, and all pos- siblity of the body being that of his friend removed, residents have ceased talking about the mystery. There are those who continue to speculate on the identity of the dead man, but on running down all leads, it is usvally discovered that their ideas are groundless.
