Strangely Missing
 Seven Years, Girl
 Is Declared Dead

The mystery of the disappearance of pretty Elizabeth Henkel, which seven years ago baffled the police de- partment of New York and other big cities, was wildly recalled in the Pro- bate court here today when her moth- CT, whose face bears the mark of her sorrow went through the formality of having her daughter declared legally dead
 Elizabeth Henkel was the only child of Mrs. Katherine Henkel of this city. She left Bridgeport as young wom- banking house in Wall street and within a short time won a position of much trust and confidence.
 One day she did not report for work. Next day an inquiry was made and 1t was found that she had left her board ing house without any word as to her plans. She was not known to have contemplated any change of employ ment Or of residence.
 Word was sent to her home in this city in the belief that she might have become discouraged with her position news of her disappearance to reach this city.
 After she had been missing for some time a hat and coat identified as be> longing to her were discovered in a vacant state room on southern steamer. It was cOHciuueu CndI tiie young woman had wandered away from her home while suffering from mental trouble, and during the night had flung herself from the ship.
 Mrs. Henkel still refuses to believe her daughter dead but for the purpose of settling her estate. entirely in per sonal property, she today completed lhe steps necessary for the adminis- traitor of the estate. Mrs. Henkel herself was appointed administratr1x
 Under the Connecticut Probate law. if a person is unaccounted for during a period of seven years, he may be declared legally dead. It was seven years Tuesday since any word was re- ceived of the missing Bridgeport girl, hence Judge Hallen granted admins tration.

Jury Considering
 Capt. Boyton Case

Arguments in the case of Capt. Paul Boyton, manager of Steeplechase Is land, who is charged with violating the Sunday law, started this morning before Judge Burnes and a jury in the cour tof Common Pleas, criminal side.
 Attorney John c. Chamberlain, rep resenting Boyton, claimed nobody was harmed by allowing. Steeplechase to remain open on Sunday and by having dancing and other amusements on the island He said the city officials did not object. All the objection came from outsiders. The objections made by people who were not in a position to be annoyed, reminded Attorney Chamberlain of a story. There were two women who complained to the selectmen of a certain town about boys swimming at a certain beach. Why" said one of the selectmen, "this place is nearly a mile from your house. You couldn't see them bath ing"
 One of the women replied, ..I know that. But you see, our father was a sea captain and he left us a big spy glass;
 Prosecutor Elmore $. Banks made an able argument in which he told the jury that the opening of Steeplechase was contrary to the law. The jury retired at 2 o'clock

PARK THEATRE
1.-THE CHOCOLATE SOLDIER

Still on the crest of a wave of pop ularity which only increases in vol- ume with each successive season, t"The Chocolate Soldier will tarry in this city for nights with Saturday mat inee to regale the amusement lovers of Bridgeport at the Park Theatre. with his merry adventures, his grotes- que romances. and a fund of delicious songs and melodies of a variety that will appeal to people of every temper ament. Oscar Straus, the composer Of this operatic conQueror of two contin- ents and a dozen capitols, is author of a long list of successful operas, but in the ''The Chocolate Soldier" he has not only surpassed himself but has reached the absolute summit of light operatic achievement, and given a stimulus to activity in that realm of music which it has been sadly in need of since the days of Gilbert and heard for g. generation rings through the acts of the opera which derives its story from Bernard Shaw's 'Arms and the Man, and it is music that surprises by it's capriciousness when a song of warm, radiant passion gives place to a mad, mocking ballad with mirth bursting at every note. Straus spontaneous and easy response to ev- cry demand that the moods of the plot make upon him in the grand se- cret of the operas success. Full eyi- dence of this is found in, the wide fame attained and maintained by My Hero" 'The Letter Song,'' sym pathy," Falling in Love- and "The Tail of a Coat" and as many more of equal beauty. The grandeur and TO- nance of the Bulgarian atmosphere, the gay hues and colors in vogue aomng the people of the region, and the military note in music and cos tune that pervades the opera have given MT. Whitney many an opportun- ity to exhibit his prOwess as a pro ducer. The superb mounting of the present production and the strong company of artists assembled for it's interpretation, mean the greatest sea- son in the history of '@The Chocolate Soldier'' in this country. As in past seasons, the Whitney Opera Comique Orchestra will assume the orchestral duties at every performance.
 Miss Frances Hewitt in the role of Nadina heads a company of metro politan artists. Sharing honors with her is MT. Roy Purvience in the title role The supporting company main- tains the same high standard of ex- cellence as characterized the company in Boston, among whom are Lotta Gale, J. Russell Powell. Emma Loomis, Olive Randolph, Nelson Riley and George Ogle.

 Sues Crane Valve Co.

Claiming he was a minor when he defended a suit brought against him by the Crane Valve Co.,, Grenville Mellen of New York has brought suit against the local concern for $500 damages. He also asks the superior court to reverse the Judgment of the common pleas court which allowed the company s450 and costs.
 Mellen says this suit should have been defended by his guardian in stead of by himself. He declares he spent considerable for lawyers fees.
 The original action brought by the the Crane Valve Co. against Mellen was for $500 damages for rent allleg- ed to be due for the old Whiting Street foundry in this city. It was alleged that Mellen leased the prop erty for five years, commencing De- cember 15, 1909.

Guile of the Drongo Cuckoo.

The drongo shrike is bird of pug nacious disposition. especially at the nesting season. when it guards it's nest with. for a small bird, great ferOcity. Douglas Dewar. from whom this ac- count is taken. says that he has watch ed a pair of these little birds attack and drive away a monkey which tried to climb into the tree in which their nest was placed. indeed. so able fighter is the shrike that some other birds, notably orioles and doves, ire quently build their nests in the same tree in order to share the benefit of his prowess. The drongo cuckoo lays its eggs in the nests of such birds as the king crow. These are pugnaciOus even ferocious. and without some guile a cuckoo could not accomplish this feat But the drongo cuckoo is so like the drOngo shrike. even having the same odd twist to its tail feathers, that the king crow is deceived by the re- semblance and hesitates to give tight to what she takes to be one of the pug nacious shrikes.-New York World.
