Rich Farmer Held On Complaint Of
 Elderly Servant

Upon complaint of Ksenia Merla, a domestic past middle age employed at the home of George $. Jennings, a wealthy young farmer of Greens Farms, Westport, Jennings will be brought before Justice Samuel A. Purdy of Westport on Friday charged with being the father of the Merla woman's infant son, born Jnne 19.
 Jennings and his wife became es- tranged more than a year ago and during her absence the Merla woman alleges intimacy arose between her master and herself. After the return of the wife, it is alleged that child was born of which Jennings is the father.
 Mrs. Jennings meanwhile had be- come reconciled to her husband and dropped a divorce suit in which she claimed big alimony. Relatives of the Merla woman feared that she had strangely vanished, and sent detec- tives to investigate. This disclosed the birth of the child, and then fol- lowed proceedings brought by Judge Frank l.. Wilder of this city as coun- sel for the woman.
 Jennings denied the charge and de> clares the whole scheme is an attempt to blackmail. Jennings is represent ed by Attorneys Chamberlain & Hull
 Arrested by Sheriff Abroila of this city he has furnished ban Of $500 for his appearance in the justice coIrt.

past stationary trolley cars. The chauffeur said he didn't care to know anything about it, then Gorgas told him he would have to go to head quarters.
 Then Mrs. Walsh spoke up. In the car was Mrs. R. J. Walsh, whose hus- band was the first judge of the Fair field County Criminal Common Pleas court, and a brother of James F. Walsh, the present incumbent of that bench.
 When Gorgas convicts prisoner bilist appeals, the case goes before the Greenwich man, whose sister-in- law called him ''impudent." Such cases are even now pending in that tribunal.
 ''It makes no difference who you are,' rejoined Gorgas. You're vio- lating the law and you'll have to go to police headquarters.'
 In the car was young man, lit tie child and Mrs. Walsh, besides the chauffeur.
 They had cooled down when they got before Captain Regan's desk. The captain told the party that Gorgas was right, and the chauffeur at once demanded to know, if he was right, why he hadn't arrested him on the spot Captain Began told the motor ist the policemen are expected to use judgment and doubtless that was what Gorgas was trying to do when he sought to read the law to him.
 About this time the youngster with Mrs. Walsh became uneasy. Mrs. Walsh said she was in hurry to get to the shore with the child. The chauffeur began to understand the law, and altogether Captain Began thought it was case where he might exercise his discretion. Gorgas wasn't anxious to press the charge, but sin- ply wanted the driver to know the law, so they let the party proceed without entering charge against the

Attorney Ennis Feels vindicated
 By Supreme Court
He Is Restored to Rights As a Lawyer by Decision Re versing Superior Court.

Attorney George H. Ennis who was recently disbarred for two years feels that he has been vindicated by the decision of the supreme court which finds error in the superior courts hnd- ing. The supreme court reyerses the superior courts decision and Attorney Ennis is thereby privileged to practice law in this State again.
 He was summoned in the superior court to show cause why he should not be disbarred after the grievance committee had heard charges prefer red against him by Nellie Shuster.
 Miss Shuster was injured while em- ployed at the Warner Bros. plant. She was under age so Attorney Ennis had himself appointed as her guardian. He settled the suit against the company for $500 and retained s250 for himself, according to previous agreement he claimed to have made with the girl. She alleged before the grievance com mittee that the settlement was made without her consent.
 In addition to the grievance commit tees charges there was also Attorney Ennis appeal from probate9 to be heard, but as the facts were practi- cally the same in both cases, the su- preme court found no error in the superior courts decision. As the girls guardian the lawyer was required to report to the probate court regarding the settlement of the suit. Judge Nobbs ruled that one third of $500 was sufficient for the lawyers fee and from this decision Attorney Ennis ap- pealed Since the trial in the su- perior court Attorney Ennis has been living in Ansonia.
 Attorney John J. Phelan and Judge John W. Banks represented Attorney Ennis.

A Domestic Sketch For |
 Miss FIeming

'I had to go to the Pacific coast to find a husband" laughed Alice Fleming. this morning, as she greet ed newspapermen at the Atlantic ho- tel. "His name is c. V. Everett and he's in the real estate business in Portland, Oregon. If I didn't love him so much I'd be contented to remain but as it is I'm crazy to see him again.
 50 Pm going to say farewell to the stage and I'm going to play my farewell in Bridgeport. You see I have so many friends here and the people always treat me so we'll that I felt as if I simply had to play week here before I retired. The en- gagement will be only for next week, though; when I appear in The White Sister," at Polls.
 Miss Fleming has just arrived from Ottawa, Canada, where she was lead ing woman in the Dominion Stock Go. This is owned by the Canadian Vaudeville association, which conducts a string of theatres.
 "I've travelled quite a bit since l left Bridgeport" said Miss Fleming. 'I went to Portland, Ore, where l played in stock and later I went to San Francisco and Seattle. Then I re- turned to New York, went from there to Ottawa and then back here. I lik- ed the coast people very we'll but found the climate rather monotonous. There isn't enough variety. It rains a great deal and at other times the weather is warm. You don't get any cold days"
 Speaking of her work in Ottawa, Miss Fleming admitted that the au- diences appeared to like her. ''I play. ed most of the parts I have played here in former years and a few new ones," she remarked. tThe season was to close on August 12 but I wanted to play a farewell week in Bridge port so I didn't wait until the finish of the Ottawa season."
 After closing here I leave for Portland. I expect to spend about six weeks there and then my husband and I will return east by the Canadian Pacific route. I'm going to bring him to Bridgeport because he has heard so much about it and then we will visit my people in Brooklyn and also my husbands people in Washington, D. C.. After that it will be back to Portland and pretty domestic sketch"

''I guess you don't know whom you're arresting, young man. I'm Judge Walsh's wife," said stylishly 'gowned matron seated in a classy torpedo bodied touring car when Mo- tor Cycle Policeman Gorgas, eXasper- ated with the stubbornness of the chauffeur, at length told him he must go to police headquarters this after noon.
 Gorgas came to a salute, and re- sponded, And my name, madame, is Gorgas.'
 You're very impudent!" retorted the occupant of the car.
 But I was talking with the chauf- feur when you interrupted" replied Gorgas.
 About that time the party rode up to police headquarters. the motor cycle cop on his vehicle, the others in their car.
 Gorgas told Police Captain Began that the automobile sped past a troll ley car stopped at Brewster street to take aboard a woman passenger. It about 20 miles, he said. The state prohibits more than miles per hour under such conditions.
 Gorgas overlook the automobile, without any thought of making an arrest. He has been instructed to dNOlu dIIGSlS ciS ciS IS COISISl6IL with good Judgment. Usually a warning is given, and it is ordinarily taken in good part.
 Gorgas overlook the automobile, and running along side asked the chauffeur if he was familiar with the Connecticut law. He claimed to be we'll versed in the statute. Gorgas told him he had just broken. the law by running past the car as he did. The chauffeur took issue with him. As Gorgas kept running alongside he drew out his book containing the automobile law, and started to point out Section to the chauffeur. This is the section referring to speeding

To the inspiring strains of "On the First Dark Night Next Week., play ed by the Wheeler & Wilson band, the Elks marched through the streets on their way to Newfield Park, this afternoon. A big crowd turned out to see the ball game between Bridge port and Derby lodges. The visitors numbered about 400 and it required five special trolley cars to bring them With them was the Ansonia band which played "The Homeliest Girl in Harlem

City May Appeal
 From Order For
 Ten Foot Centers

Overriding the action of the Board of Aldermen in refusing to grant the Connecticut Co. permission to lay 10 foot centers on their lines in Fair field avenue the Railroad Commits sioners following hearing yesterday afternoon in Hartford granted the trolley company permission to lay their tracks as they so requested. The matter came before the commission CTS on appeal by the trolley company from the councils action.
 The action of the committee consid- ering the always present undercurrent of hostility directed towards the rail- road, today brings heaps of criticism upon their heads by indignant citi- zens.
 Through some ones mistake no mo- tice was given the city of the hear ing, which was scheduled for yester- day morning. When no one Tn op- position appeared, the committee got into communication with Mayor Buckingham, who secured a post ponement of the hearing till the af- ternoon City Clerk Boucher attend ed the meeting and voiced the oppo- sition Aof the Aldermen to granting the trolley company their request.
 In giving out their action, the com mission states that for some time past they have granted trolley com panies permission for 10 foot centers in most every city. Bridgeport was behind in this respect, and it was for Bridgeport to catch up with the pro- ceSSion.
 There is talk among some of the aldermen to take an appeal from the commission to the courts. Others consider that by resembling the or ders for the paving of Fairfield ave- nue this year they may bring the Con- necticut Go. to terms.

ENDORSE BILL
 TO LIBERALIzE SUNDAY;
 FIGHT IN SENATE TODAY

Senator Hooker of Hartford said that Senator Peck saw no impropriety in riding about the country on a Sunday in his automobile but on the other hand considered a harml less game of baseball as desecration of the Sabbath. He said that the min- isters of Hartford who had opposed more liberal laws on Sunday had suc- ceeded in depriving a large part of some, outdoor recreation, and had driven a great many young men into so called clubs where cards are play ed, and gambling allowed, and liquor sold.
 'How much better it would be-" he said, ''if these young men had been to participate in a harmless game of baseball in some out of the way place where the church-going people would not be annoyed"
 The Senate Then took a recess for one hour

WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION
 BILL PROBABLY WILL BE DEFEATED IN THE HOUSE

Representative Chandler in lengthy speech in favor of the measure, ex> plained it's workings most minutely. Representative Meltzer of Bridgeport also championed the measure. Judge Banks said he is in favor of a firm compensation bill, then introduced his ing. |
 The House then recessed for one hour. Judging by the comment heard within and without the Assembly hall the bill appears to have little if any chance of passing the House. One member of the House said that the Banks amendment. would cost the bill at least 75 farmer votes. Judge Banks said that in Illinois the court had held with only one dissenting voice a bill similar to this, insofar as it exempt ed. one class of workers, was uncon- stitutional.
