IS PAVEMENT
 PERMANENT IF
 II WEARS OUT?
Citizens Association Ap- peals from Third Assess ment for Permanent Pavement"

The appeal of the Citizens Associa- tion from the assessment of benefits for the Main street pavement was heard by Judge Scott in the Common Pleas court this morning. The Citi- zenS' Association is corporation and owns the building at the southwest corner of Main and Cannon streets. When the wood block pavement was completed. an assessment was laid against the property, which assess ment amounted to $180.85. The as- sociation appealed from the action of the board of apprisal of benefits and damages. It is more a question of principle with the owners of the prop erty than it is matter of the amount of the assessment.
 The principal claim made in the case by the Citizens Association is that having twice before been assessed for so-called permanent pavement, it cannot now be legally assessed for an- other pavement. This property was assessed in 1884 for a stone block pave- ment and in 1899 for an asphalt pave ment. The officers of the association, through their counsel, Attorney Eu- gene B. Peck, contend that the city, under the provisions of the charter, in assessing for these prior pavements, has exhausted it's authority and that no further assessment for pavement can be laid against this property. Among the witnesses in the matter to- day were ex-Mayor M. l.. Reynolds and Edward c. Spargo, members of the board of appraisal, who testified that in their judgment the property was benefited to the full amount of the assessment. The city was repre- sented by City Attorney Cu1linan.

1.-THE RIBBLES" IS
 ON AXEL JOHNSON
Private Sleuth of Judge Nicholson Is Elected from
 Police Headquarters
Supt. Birmingham Tells Eagle Detective Agency Head His Room Is Better Than His Company.

As the boys would say at the ball grounds, "The RibbIes is on Axel Johnson.'' Just what "the Ribbles" is. no one can tell, but when "the Ribbles'' is on ball player, he is about to get his release.
 Supt. Birmingham has put the Rib- bles on Axel Johnson. The operation of putting "the Ribbles" on him oc- cured quietly. There was no demon stration at all. Axel, the paid detec- tive of the Law Enforcement League. has been accustomed to visit police headquarters.
 The police department, chafing un- der the aspersions cast upon it's in- tegrity by Attorney E.. K. Nicholson of the Law Enforcement league, has made Axel feel that he is non persona grata at police headquarters for some time. 1t remained for Supt Birming- ham to confirm this attitude when a couple of days ago Axel wandered into the police building. Supt. Birm- ingham told the sleuth in a few well chosen words that his room was bet ter than his company and Axel made a nasty exit He has not since been seen at police Headquarters
 Several months ago, when Axel Johnson's Eagle Detective Agency" sleuths were collecting evidence and reporting the same to the Law En- forcement league, and raids were be- ing made as result, Axel was accus- toned to dash out in the auto patrol with raiding parties. But he has lost caste with the police of late, and henceforth his participation in raids will be as a. spectator.

 We favor rational economy in the expenditures of public funds and the abolition of the direct State tax on property.
 We ask that the recommendation of the Hon. Rollin S. Woodruff that a single purchasing department be es- eaonshed for all institutions of the State be adopted. We believe that the present methods are uneconomical ana open to the greatest abuses and permeated with petty patronage.
 For years the party has demanded these reforms The restoration of the full right of trial by jury in negligence cases was the result of Democratic aei- tation- The Republican party has been averse to these changes and grants only what it can no longer with safety refuse. The people of this State should entrust the enactment of these measures to their avowed friends rather than to their secret enemies
 Therefore we ask the people of Con- necticut to elect the State ticket that we place in nomination, and so secure an administration of the affairs of State during the next two years which will put public interests before party interests. cut off unnecessary expenses and do equal and exact justice to every citizen.

MT. Sperry has been a staunch Republican all his life and has not been in the habit of bolting his ticket. but his admiration for Judse Baldwin has caused him to change his long political allegiance and rather than run the risk of making his ballot void by attempting to split the ticket, he declared to cast his vote for all of the Democratic Candi- dates.

ANOTHER WITNESS FOUND IN TRAGEDY
 OF AUTO SPEEDERS
Mi1hman Was Not Able to Catch Number As Gar Sped Away Search In New Haven Today.

Beyond unearthing another specta- tor to the tragic death of John De- Martino in Fairfield avenue Saturday night, the police made little progress today in their search for the four speeding automobile riders who fled after killing the Stamford salesman.
 Charles A. Wade, a dairyman, liv- ing in Park avenue near the city line, tells the police that from what he saw of the accident, he judged that DeMartino had stepped from the curb or had lost his balance and toppIed from the curb as he set down his grips.
 He saw the automobile speed away, but could not detect the number It is now the belief of the police that the rear lamp required by law on the license number, was not lighted.
 Detective Cronan made a round of the New Haven garages today and visited the vicinity of the Yale field parking spaces running down rather tangible clues that have come into his possession leading to the con- clusion that the four young men were students from Colgate who went to the Yale-Colgate game Saturday.

 Boston, Nov. 2.-Mrs. Virginia Love, formerly Miss Aldridge, of Rochester, N. Y., and daughter of the ex-Mayor of the city of that name, caused a sensation in her divorce suit, before Judge Pierce, today, when she told how she had tried to commit suicide by taking strychnine in her home in the most exclusive section of Brook line, in the spring of last year.
 It was shortly afterward that she left her husband, Henry H. Love, the former broker, here. Her admission that she had attempted to end her marital unhappiness by self-destruc- ton, was only told by Mrs. Love, by a great effort. Her entire body quiv- cred.
 Only the fact that she had taken an overdose saved her life. Mrs Love is an attractive brunette of about S5. She had to undergo a severe cross-examination all the fore noon. Once-but only once-Mrs Love was forced to admit that she was so overcome by the use of in- toxicants that she had to be helped home by a woman friend Her hus- band, who filed a cross-libe1, accuses her of excessive use of liquor and drugs.

Good taste and good fabric meet Tn suits at $2O @ $22. 50.

It is fair to call woman's suit at $20 or whereabouts medium priced suit.
 And it is only fair to say that suits at this price in the present Rowland assembly are notably good of both looks and fabric.
 Tastefulness and fabric are fair criterions to judge a suit by. Taste means lack of showiness. It means that the woman who wears a suit rated as tasteful will not feel that she is attracting un- due attention. It means that everything combining to make the suit is in harmony with every other thing.
 Fabric is to be rightly judged by it's quality, by its depth of color, by it's suitability to the use to which it has been put. Apply all these tests to the Rowland $2O and $22.50 suits. We know what the result will be for we have first applied the very same tests ourselves-and probably more closely than you would.
 Delightful variety waists for the woman who would choose.
