Stratfield Bellboy
 Released in Custody
 of Attorney Mara

Setting up the claim that the Dis triot of Columbia court had no juris- diction over Arthur E.. Wollney, bell boy at the Stratfeld, Attorney George F. Mara of this city succeeded in hay ing the young husband arrested here Saturday for non-support, released in his custody by U. S. Commissioner Wright in New Haven, when Wollney was arraigned before him late Satur- day.
 The commissioner told Attorney Mara he believed there was merit in his claim, and announced that he would continue the case until We'd nesday, when Assistant District Att torney Robinson will be on hand to represent the District of Columbia
 It is claimed that because Wollney did not ever go to Washington, he has never had a residence there, and could not therefore have refused to support his wife in that city. If there were any non-support it must be in his refusing to provide for her at his own residence, which has been either in Boston or Bridgeport since his marriage, in June, 1910
 Wollney is now seeking an annul- ment of his marriage on the ground that he was forced into the contract under threats of imprisonment

Myrtle Beach. Milford, July 31.- Amusement places of every descrip- ton, dance halls, skating rink. hobby horses moving pictures, Japanese hand ball, and ring the canes at Myrtle Beach, Harrison Park and Meadows End were closed down yes terday by Deputy Sheriff James Maher of Milford. The order was carried out on the complaint of the Walnut Beach Improvement associa tion, who hold that the running of the skating rink and the dance halls bring an undesirable element to the beaches.
 The improvement association had started a crusade, only a short while ago furnishing evidence which brought about the fining of Lottie Porter and Nettie Nettleton for il- legal liquor selling. The association is keeping a careful watch on those enjoying licenses to prevent Sunday traffic. The efforts of the association has borne fruit nthat they have suc- ceeded in keeping Walnut Beach free from all amusement places and sa- looms, which are now confined to Harrison Park and Meadows End. However, the exodus from the fizz places work their way into Walnut Beach. It is for this reason that the improvement association is so active In their efforts they are being back ed un Fv oTacticalv every resident

 Gene Riley also did well for the New York crowd with the exception of a slight mistake when he tried tc steal second with the bases filled Laurie Neafie played first like Hal Chase, the only differnce being that Laurie stopped the balls with his shoulder blades Lou Settler, the New York sales manager, was pretty fast on the bases, although he comes from Philadelphia. but he stayed a long time at the first corner when he found case of case goods anchored there. Ike Haviland hit the ball so hard that he ran around the bases three times to be sure the run counted. Capt Billy Strusse, who formerly played with the New York A. C. team, was behind the bat for the New Workers and if anybody tried to steal second Billy would run down with the bal in his hand and tag the horrid crea- ture.
