The North Dayton oOhio) Savings Bank has Instituted a new idea in the barking business. It uses the tele- phone to solicit deposits and. upon re- ceiring favorable responses. sends 2 messenger to receive and receipt for the deposits. As it's president says. we don't ask a man to take the time to come to see us, we take the faciii- ties of our bank to him." It is most decidedly new departure, and yet 1t is quite in accord with the spirit of these modern times when business is so largely done through the personal solicitation commonly called drum ming" ~

LUClUS NORTON
 TALKS OF SUITS
 REPRESENTATIVES,

Hartford. Dec. 17-Just how strong and just what is the connection be- tween the suit for s25.0oo brought against Attorney Benedict M- Holden by George R. Hodgdon. and the suit now fin the Superior court brought by Lucius B. Norton against Mir Holden. Noble -H Pierce and J. J. McKone. is the leading question in legal circles widely discussed among lawyers. MT. Norton's suit Is an outgrowth of the affairs of the National Mercantile Company of which he was the presi- dent of which MT McKone was re- ceiver. and MT. Holden receivers att torney. MT. Pierce was MT. Norton's attorney at the time. and in his suit MT. Norton charges that all three att torneys. who are prominent members of the Hartford County Bar. entered into a conspiracy to defraud him. us- ing the appointment of MT. McKone as receiver for that purpose
 The Hodgdon suit charges Mir. Hol- den with fraudulent representation while acting as attorney for MT. Hodg- don. when the latter was fin bank ruptcy MT. Norton was questioned about his own suit. but when the Hodgdon matter came up in conversa- 1t. Mr. Norton said:
 sBut this Is an entirely separate matter. The two have been connect ed because MT. Hamilton tCharles s. 1aInnton or NeW h1sSHls iS AAtoApNS
 Later in the conversation. the re- porter. who had asked Mir. Norton about the two suits. remarked:
 These two suits seem to be strlk- ing Mfr. Holden at the same time"
 sIts a dove-tail." replied MT. Nor
 After a discussion of various aspects of MT. Norton's own suit the reporter found occasion to say: ..5-,
 Yell MTr IErDrSv saa well as I do. that there is a lot Of in- terest in the fact that this Hodgdon suit has come up in this way. and everyone Is wondering whether there Is connection"
 MT. Norton paused a moment and then replied:
 well, what I know about 1t is this: I had known that Hodgdon had this up against MT. Holden. Dietrich tor mer Detective Sergeant Theodore Dietrich) told me that. before he skipped I went down to New Haven. and went to see Hodgdon. and found that the thing was right on the tapis. asked him what lawyer he had, and
 "Why don't you get Mfr. Hamil- ton?' T asked him.
 "sweII.' he said. Mfr. was a little cheaper
 are going to do this thing at all you want to do it right. You get Hamil- ton and do It right FN.
 That was the last heard of it. un- til I got up here and found that he had sued MT. Holden and that Mr. Hamilton was his lawyer"
 Both Mir. Norton and attorneys on the other sfdle have given h'nts that third suit Is about to develop. so that. before it Is over. the various matters will probably cause consider able excitement.
 A motion to dismiss the suit against the three lawyers Is now before the Superior court. having been continued from the short calendar session of last week to that of this week while 1t is expected that the argument will go over until December 24. <,

POLICE TANGLE
 IN NEW HAVEN
CORPORATION COUNSEL RULES THAT THE REGENT PROMO T1oNs AND APPOINTMENTS WE'RE NOT LEGAL

New Haven. Dec. 17.-In an infor- nal and somewhat tentative opinion. which however so far as the main is- sue is concerned probably represents his ultimate opinion on the subject. Corporation Counsel Rogers has given to the civil service board the ruling that decides against Police Sergeants Doughan and Cannon. and while it does not mention their cases by name declares through it's statement that they were not legally appointed to the position of police sergeant The opin- ion handed in to the civil service board last night, which is to be followed by R more complete and comprehensive one which may modify some of the points of this one but Is not likely to alter at all the official expression on the main issue. holds that the provis- passed by the State Legislature last summer must be very strictly con- strued. that 1t applies to all eligible lists no matter when they were made rp and that it was in force from the time it was signed by the Governor. which was July 27 last Under these explicit statements the appointments of Doughan and Cannon were not le- gal because they did not conform with the rule of three.
 The opinion as constructed by the civil service board holds that only those three who stand highest form the eligible list under the new rule and that whenever that list of three Is used there must be a new examina- fiona One of the points on which the board has not received sufficient in- formation in the opinion is as to how proceedings muFM be taken when it Is intended to make appointment of sew er-al persons to some position at one time It would seem as if under this construction of the rule as passed that it would block any such action and that separate examinations would have to be held for such appointments.
 The construction of the rule of three holding that 1t affects all lists adds to the complexity of the present situa- tion- There have been appointments fin the fire department during the past few months which also might be af- fected if the men who were appointed did not stand among the three high est on the lists. The effects of the new rule are very far reaching.
