Canf1eld by Judge Burpee in the Su- perior court this afternoon Deser- tion was the ground. Mrs. Canfield' S maiden name was Maude E. Starr. Canfield testified that his wife left him in October 1904. He went to see her at her mothers home and endeavored to have her return to him but she re- fused. Canfeld thought his wife left him because he accused her of going out with another man. It was agreed that the custody of three minor chil- dren should be given to Mrs Canfield's g mother.
 Judge Burpee also granted a decree to Sarah E. Reynolds of Greenwich from William s. Reynolds. The plain tiff said she was compelled to stay in sanitarium for six years and dur ing that time her husband deserted her. She thinks he is in Mexico now. The couple had lived together 22 years prior to the desertion, which took place in July 1900

Snakes" Reilly
 Has Hard Luck
 With FeI|ed Tree

By the crashing of a heavy tree trunk through the roof of their home about noon, the occupants of No 57 Liberty street were 0hrown into tur- moil' as they were partaklng of their noon day meal, today. Rushing into the street they saw tree trunk rest ing in a cave in the roof and one of the limbs protruding through the side of the house.
 III luck pursued Patrick Reilly of the North End, since yesterday morn- ing, when he started cutting down the tree to the east of No. 57. Somehow the branches fell away from him, yes- terday, but there was no damage. To- day he had all the limbs cleared away, leaving nothing but the bare trunk and the end of the heavy limbs. He set his ropes and pulleys to other trees, had chopped almost through the base, and was about to lower the tree to have the trunk fall to the east, when the driver of fire exercise wagon in passing suggested that he shift about to have the tree fall to the west Tle.s suggestion s.s ina I , as there was a lamp post to the east of the tree, upon which the trunk might fall.
 Bystanders say that the pulley was tied to the exercise wagon and the

 Social Clubs

T wish thosea officials who have closed up the Sunday Social clubs had the jobs of running trolley cars on Sunday evenings said a conductor on the Brooklawn line this morning. For several weeks now the woods have been filled with .drunks' on Sun days. Knowing they cannot get beer in town on Sunday there are a large number of men who think the best substitute for beer is a bottle of hard liquor which they buy on Saturday night On Sunday they go out into the woods with the bottles on their hips and they spend the day. To- ward night they begin to come in to the car terminals and insist on be- ing carried to their homes. There has been more drunks seen on Sum- days during the past three weeks than for a number of years past.''

HEALEY FOR
 PARCELS POST

Washington, June 2S-That the adop- tion by Congress of a general parcels post system would induce the rail- roads to lower transportation rates on food stuffs and thereby remedy the high cost of living, was the state menty made to the House Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads, by l.. H. Healy. representing the State Grange of Connecticut, who, to-day wrote the following for the United Press:
 (By l.. H. Healy)
 As master of the state grange of Connecticut I believe that Congress should and will establish in the near future system by which the farmers market their products at a cost, both to them and the consumer, much low- CT than the present tariffs of the ex- press companies and railroads.
 For years we have been after a par cells post, with persistent agitation and we believe that our endeavors will re- suit in the adoption of bill creating bill was recently brought out by a strike among the employees of the ex- press companies at New York City. In other parts of the United States it has come naturally to the front by a popular uprising against some of the big interests that have so long monop- olized and abused the privileges of their franchises
 One of our largest railroad magnates recently said that the high cost of liv- ing can only be remedied by greater production of farm commodities We take exception to this, however, and state that the high cost of living has it's root in the distribution, rather than in the production, of farm products We believe that the parcels post is remedy, obvious, direct and easily applied to the present conditions.

Spirit Writings Were Sees Love
 Letters To Girl
Special from. United Press.l

Chicago, June 23-That Evelyn Ar thur See wrote the book, Absolute Life on Trial" merely to coach the witnesses for the defense, is a charge the state will attempt to prove against the "Revealer."
 It will be alleged that it was See who invented the clever defense that "Wifehood" and Motherhood" as inn personated by Mona Reese and Mild red Bridges, was really a spiritual and not a physical condition.
 See entered the court, today, With an air of jubilation. He and his at- torneys believe Mildred Bridges made an ideal witness for them. They will attempt to. show that the damaging letters written by Mildred, in which she signed herself as Sees wife" and by See in which he declared his love for the girl, were really spirit writ ings'' inspired by the same spirit that inspired See to write "The Book of Absolute Life and Mildred to write the truths she contributed to the Book of Truths"
