Thus, according TO Frederick L. c. Keat-

Warden James T. March, Republican leader
OF the Sixth Assembly district, address
him when the Commissioner notified Mr..
March, who supplies laborers to railroads,
that he would have to take out a license
or quit business. Then the Commissioner
had him arrested and he promised IN take
out license II the charge against him was
dropped.
But apparently he did not forget his
threat 10 shorten Mr.. keating's term Of
Office. Yesterday Senator Armstrong Of
Rochester, an Aldridge-Odell statesman,
introduced at Albany a bill to amend the
employment agency law by taking the
power Of appointing the head Of the de-

Of course, will lose his job. The patronage
Of the department amounts to about $4,000
a year, but most Of the employees are in
the classified service, and thus safe from
slaughter. Mr.. Kestings salary is 5000.
Recently the Italian detective who got
the evidence against March for the License
Depart ment applied to Commissioner
McAdoo for permission TO carry a revolver.
He said his life had been threatened time
and again since March was arrested. His
partner who helped him to get the evil
dence disappeared several weeks ago
and no trace Of him has been found.

 DRICCS FUNERAL

The bar association held a meeting this morning in the district court room, President Gillette presiding, to take ac- ton on the death of Attorney c. J. Griggs. The suggestion. made by At torney Lauber of sending flowers did not meet with the approval of any one present. Attorney Bronson said this feature in funerals has been overdOne and the consequence is that it is going out of existence. He attended a funeral only a few days ago. A large quantity of flowers were sent yet the near relatives of the deceased told him they would much prefer that none had been sent Judge Burpee said he knew the feeling of the family on this question and 1t was that against the sending of flowers. Mir Bronson added that the circumstances vf the bereav- ed family are such that if flowers are requisite they can have all they want. Attorneys x. R. Bronson. Joseph H. I.auber. E. l.. Seery and James B. Russell were then appointed commit tee to represent the association at the funeral. Mir Russell was put on the committee because he was the only classate of Mir Griggs in the city.

Last witasssss Wsss nsard cad Do.
 ,eisien Was Aessrvsd.

It was late yesterday afternoon when the contested divorce case of Burton C.. Smith, an etnploye of the Waterbury Clock Co, against Minnie Austin Smith, was closed. Infidelity was the basis of the action. and one Burns. a wood worker and "old soak" according to one witness, was named c0-respon- dent. The defense was an alibi
 Mrs Smith. who lives with Fannie Seeley, her sister-in-law, at S1 South Willow street, testified that she left her husband because he accused her of having drowned one of their chil dren. The particular act of alleged in fidelity was said to have taken place in Bridgeport in December, 1908, but Mrs Smith cOntended that she was in Branford at that time. Allen Ridpath and his wife supported her in that their house about Thanksgiving. 1903, and left them to go to Branford.
 Fannie Seeley. sister-in-law of the defendant, testified that she was d. v0rced from her husband and had taken her maiden name. Smith wanted her to testify against his wife, she said. and offered to pay anything from $25 to $50 for evidence against her. Silas Frost Of Thomaston knew the defend. ant t long time. Smith saw him also abont testifying against his wife, but he told him that he knew nothing about Burns and Mrs Smith further than seeing them greet each other oc- casionally. Frost called Burns float CT and an old soak. Smith stayed a day or two in Thomaston looking up evidence against his wife. Witness told him he did not care to get mixed up in the case
 Mrs Rose Oliver of East Farm street and number of people from Bridge port testified.
 The strongest witnesses against the defendant was Mrs Clark of Golden Hill, Bridgeport, and some of her roomers, who said that Mrs Smith was palmist and told them their fortunes. Decision was reserved.
