FLOOD" CASES
 MAY BE SETTLED

The Bridgeport Hydraulic Company is settling some of the many cases brought against it by plaintiffs who were damaged by the breaking of the Beardsley park dam. in 1906. and the consequent flood. Comley & Comley, who were attorneys for plaintiffs in a number of these actions, have written to some of those whom they represent, conveying the information just given.
 In this letter it is said that a greater part of the cases have been settled for 8 nominal sum. It is further said that this nominal sum must be accepted, or the cases must be tried in June or, in contrary, stricken from the docket.
 It is said that H. Weiner, 90 River street, is among those who have been settled with. He is reputed to have received a sum in the neighborhood of $100.
 It is probable that the litigation growing out of the flood will soon be ended, it being likely that the unset tied cases must be abandoned because of the poverty of the plaintiffs.
 The suit for damages brought by the city in this connection was actually in the interests of these poor people. The defeat of the city virtually meant their defeat.

CHILD'S DEATH
 STOPS DIVORCE
Father in Prison After Un- successful Effort to Take Life of Wife.

The action brought by Kathryn H. Popp of Darien for divorce was not heard today as counsel for the plaint- if, John Kehoe of Norwalk, told the court that during the week child of the plaintiff had lost it's life through fire. The action is based on the ground of cruelty. the plaintiff having been attacked by her husband with a knife and severely wounded. Then Poop thinking that he had killed his wife tried to end his own life by slash ing his throat. The wound. self-in- flicted. did not go deep enough to cause dissolution. so he recovered. was arrested and is now serving one year in Wethersfield.
 His wife recovered from her wounds and now seeks a separation from the convict. Popp was first sentenced to serve one year in jail but he requested Judge Gager to send him to prison that he might have a chance to learn trade. The court obliged him. Just as soon as the plaintiff recovers she will appear to prosecute her suit.

HANS IS
 NOT GUILTY
Continued From First Page.)

(Conunued From First Page.)
 His face was ghastly pale and deep dark rings appeared under the eyes and stood out like blackened muscles. Justice Crane started to discharge the Jury when Major Hains, brother of Thornton Hains,, burst through the doors sweeping aside two stalwart uni formed guards with the very impet- uouslty of his rush. He was perspir- Ing from every pore, the tears were plaintively cried: Where is Tonnie? Where is my brother Tonnie? Thank God, he is free, he is free.''
 Justice Crane nodded to the officers and they restrained the we'll nigh fran- tic man who was beside himself with joy.
 ''The jury is discharged" said Jus tice Crane as he strengthened back in his chair, "and want to thank this Jury at this point for their excellent work and worthy patience with which they weighted this evidence and re- turned the verdict. Your work was splendid, gentlemen, and you are mod els for American jurors"
 Crane tAen sternly admonished the police, T want word sent to the cap- tain of the police," he said, t'that this defendant must be protected when he leaves the court house. He is to be free to go where and when he pleases and there must be no molestation or demonstration
 Attorney Mcintyre shaking with joy, thanked the court and jury while Thornton Hains did the same. When the judge arose to leave the bench Major Hains bounded forward and in second was clasped in the arms of his brother. It was @ heart-breaking scene as these two strong men alter nately wept and embraced and pat ted each others faces.
 Thornton Hains personally thanked each member of the jury and then turned to Shay. "I must phone moth CT and father,' he said, "Oh, I must tell them. I must tell them. And they will be so glad. And our poor Peter. I shall never leave him. I am going back to the Long Island City jail and stay with him. I cannot de- sert him any more than I could on that horrible day last August" Shay quieted Thornton and he was hurried to a nearby phone and called up the room in the Hotel Astor. It was her own sons voice that first told the aged gray-haired lady that jury of twelve men had believed his state ments and had given him his free dom.
 "I am the happiest man on earth have been vindica ted. I am going to Long Island City to see Connie. Then Pm going to see Dad and Ma at the Hotel Astor. Tomorrow I am going to Washington to get little Mol lie"

"STRONGHEART" HERE
 THURSDAY NIGHT

There is no lack of the atmosphere of college life ill "Strongheart' which will be presented in this city with a company that is said to be fully up to the standard of Metropolitan success es. 'Stron2heart' is a study of col lege life by William c. DeMille. It's scenes are laid at Columbia Univer- sity and it's characters are young men and women who are perfecting their education. The stellar role is that of Soangatha, a full-blooded 1n- dian, with brilliant education and who has become very popular mem Der of the college set until he falls in love with the sister of his chum. This forms the keynote of the drama and the racial prejudice that it arouses has given the author plenty of reason for some intensely drama tic scenes. "Strongheart' will be presented in this city at the Elks Theater Thursday December ?.

Mir. Grapewin's artistic touches made eXquisitely ludicrous and excruiating- ly funny.
 On the whole, Above the Limit is a clean farce comedy, and MT. Grapewin wins additional and deserv- ed honors for his personal efforts in the cast.
 His support is equally deserving of approval, especially Miss Winnie Hen shaw as Mrs. Williamson, of course, itiative for Mrs. Malaprop, is a classic stage tradition but it requires some thing more than mere imitation to produce the pleasing impression that Miss Henshaw imparted to the audi ence last night. From Peoria, grown suddenly rich. she talks New York society talk and uses big words with out regard to consequences, except to produce fun.
 Miss Anna Chance was perfection as Majory Marsh, while the others of the cast were equally good, includ- ing Miss Merivale as Kitty, the de- mure waiting maid, who developed into the ''Swiper' and went to Flu rope not caring "a d-,

Of Charley Grapewins new play Above the Limit, which comes to the Elks Theater tonight, the Shreve- port, La.,) Journal says:
 Last season MT. Grapewin gave us ''The Awakening of MT. Pipp,' a character so totally dissimiliar to his role of last evenings bill, Above the Limit that comparison cannot be drawn.
 Evidently MT. Grapewin possesses artistic qualities, which it may be said are wanting in a large share of those who essay the modern stage. He has versatility, the power of facial expression. a we'll tuned voice, modu- lated in accent to fit the time and the moment and is, in fact, we'll equipped comedy actor of the first order.
 MT. Grapewins versatility is mark ed in the obliteration of identity in Hicks. the boy from below 14th street, from his MT. Pipp. The latter was what is called a higher comedy character, the former strictly low comedy To further impress this quality in MT. Grapewin .his transi- ton in the play of Above the Limit, : from the tough in the first and sec end acts to the travelled, chastised and more Or less refined "Mr." Hicks in the last act, gives a good illustra- tion.
 The ordinary actor would have wrecked more than one scene in the story with boisterous horseplay, which
