Judge Wolfe in the Common Pleas court at New Haven yesterday dis solved an injunction which had been recently obtained by William S.. Leete, former president of the Leete's Island school board, to restrain Phillip Ander- son, the new president of the school board, from appointing teachers.
 Before Anderson assumed office, but after he had been elected, special meeting of the board had been called for the purpose of Leete appointing teachers for the following year. An derson, nevertheless. proceeded to ap- point his own teachers, Leete obtain ing the above mentioned injunction to restrain the teacher appointed by him from teaching.

The Hartford & Springfield Street Railway Co.,, has advanced it's five cent fares to six cenfs-that is, it will cost cents to ride on that line be- tween any two consecutive fare limits The reason given for raising the price of transportation is the general in crease in the cost of doing business. The company is has paid one dividend of per cent. on its common stock, saIid it's dividends of 6 per cent. on pre- ferred stock ceased two years ago For the past year, it's statement shows deficiency. of $257. It is not owned by the Connecticut Company, but as stat ements of deficiencies are usually followed by absorption by other corpo- rations, with shrinkages in shares, we infer that this. road will soon be num- bered in the list of the Connecticut cenpany's holdings.

No hope of permanently lower prices for meat, says the President of the American Packers association, fol unless many more cattle are grown America may find itself an importer ing system of the packers, under which cattle growers are compelled to take whatever prices may be offered, has checked the cattle trade, is not known but it is a fact that growers have long been dissatisfied, claiming that they often score losses at the prices allow ed and that the profit, when any, is very small.
 Before extinction through Western competition, cattle raising and fatten- ing was a large and profitable indus try in Connecticut. Our hills and valleys were numerously dotted with cattle designed for the market; of late 7ars, 8 herd of fattening steers has heretofore been sure of a market fol them at remunerative prices. It has even been said that the butcher buy ing such cattle was practically boy. cotted by the packers or otherwise dyiven out of business.
 Now, the situation appears to have changed. A shortage in the supply of Western cattle has so advanced prices that it may again be profitable to grow and fatten cattle here in Con nectfcut, and possible to market then at fair prices when fattened. There is nc question of abundant pasturage Cattle raising and fattening, would bring into profitable use the thousand' of acres of practically abandoned farn 1ands

Litchfield County News.

The New Milford selectmen have de- cided not to prohibit the killing Of gray squirrels this fall, as so many hunting licenses had been issued prior to the hearing on the matter Tuesday last, that the board thought it would be unfair to deprive these hunters of a conspicious portion of their game.
 Alleged Irregularity.
 While the. saloonmen of Litchfield, taking advantage of an alleged legal technicality, are fighting in the courts to ignore the no-license vote cast at forces of New Hartford will, it is un- derstood, take similar steps to prevent the reopening of saloons in that town despite the fact that a majority of the voters cast License Yes" ballots at the election. In New Hartford it is alleged that the call for the annual towr meeting was posted on the public sign post in due time, but did not ap- pear in the newspaper. weekly, until Thursday, while the law provides that it must be published five days before the election. It is understood that in functions will be secured to prevent any persons to whom licenses have been granted from opening their places.
 Scarcity of Game.
 Hunters in Norfolk continue to re- port a scarcity of game and very few birds have been taken so far. Wood cock have not been so scare for twenty years. One sportsman who has been familiae with the woods and covers surrounding Norfolk for more than twenty years has not thus far moved a single woodcock. Another who may be regarded as a professional, Hubert Schenherr. has shot only four thus far, and says that covers where in former years, whether the season was wet or dry these birds have always been found. are this season entirely empty. MT. Schenherr has. however, found plenty of foxes having thus far killed twelve Whether there is any con- nection between the abundance of foxes and the scarcity of game birds is an interesting question. The num- Der of hunters licenses taken out in Norfolk now amounts to 31.

COMMITTEE OF MRS. STETSON'S CHURCH
 INVESTIGATED
Denial Made of Friction
 With Trustees of "Moth- er' Church of Scientists
Especial from United Press)

Especial from United Press.)
 New York. Oct. 19.-Greatly disturb ed over the report that the, board of trustees of First Church, Christian Science. is contemplating defying the action of the trustees of the mother church in Boston in "admonIsh1ng twenty-five of the practitioners of the of Mrs. Augusta Stetson to practice healing, an official statement in de- f1ning the position of the local church was made public this afternoon. This statement after announcing that the international affairs of the local or ganization had been criticised by the Boston church authorities. declares that the entire matter is being in vestigated by a committee of the local trustees who will decide what action is to be taken. Mrs. Stetson and the two readers of the local church, the latter reported to be anti-Stetsonites. have been excluded from the inquiry which it is stated. is being conducted independent of them.
 The statement deprecates the story that there is friction among the local trustees and the trustees of the mother church." It points out that both have certain duties to perform which are clearly pointed out by the church manual and it insists the in vestigation of the alleged s improper conduct on the part of those who have been 'tadmonished' is being carried on without fear or favor The present situation is character ized as Unprecedented in the history of this branch of the church and call ing for the most careful consideration. It explains that the trustees tried to investigate as an entire board, ex- cluding Mrs. Stetson and the two readers as interested parties" but that this method was assailed as il- legal and then the committee was ap- pointed with full power to go to the bottom of all of the charges.
 It is admitted that the inquiry in- wolves many prominent members of the church. and that grave constitu- tional questions have arisen, but the statement makes plain that the mat ter is one to be settled by the local church and the authority of the Bos- ton trustees is questioned, while at the same time it is made plain that the local church feels that until it's com mittee concludes it's 1abors, Boston should refrain from prejudicing the | case.
