DEFENDANTS FILE CROSS
 COMPLAINT IN SUIT. Stockholders of Gilbert Transportation Company Want All to Be Treated Alike.

number of defendants in the suits brought by the receiver of the Gilbert Transportation company of Stonington made motion in the superior court of New Haven county on Thursday, De- cember B. for leave to file cross com plaint.
 The cross complaint alleges that there are over four hundred stockhold- CTS of record who are owners of stock, acquirfd by them in good faith, and who are residents of this state. The complaint further states that these stockholders acquired their stock un- der circumstances in many respects the same as those under which the compliments came into their shares of stock, and if it is the fact that any amount is due from the defendants there is balance due and unpaid on the stock of a large number of stock holders in this and other states It is also alleged that the receiver l has already settled and compromised claims against stockholders for less than the full amount due,i and has re- leased and discharged from obligation these stockholders. It is also alleged that the receiver has not brought suit against the stockholders who have been allowed to settle for less than the amount of the claims against them. A large number of the claims of the ] creditors are of such nature as not to be recoverable, it is alleged. The l total amount of claims against the ] Gilbert Transportation company which i may be recovered from the sockhold CTS is not so large as to require the re- | ceiver to collect the full amount of the unpaid balance on the stock; nor has l the circuit court of the United States | for the district of Connecticut ascer- tained the total amount of these claims, nor the amount, if any, which is due from the stockholders.
 The complaint claims that the re- ceivers settlement and compromise against part of the stockholders foI less than the full amount alleged tc be due were negotiable and prejudi- cial to the complainants if judgment is rendered against them.
 The compliments ask the court tC make an order for the disclosure o1 the names of the stockholders of tho Gilbert Transportation company witt the residence, number of shares owned and the amount claimed to be due iron
 each stockholder.
 They also ask the names of stock holders against whom suit, has beI
 brought and the names of those witt l whom the receiver has settled hi!
 claims and released. Also the amour
 of claims of all cerditors and the tim, i in which the claims accrued.
 The compliments ask that if thu
 court finds there is money due iron the stockholders for the payment 0 claims, then the court determines tn
 proportionate share to be paid by eacl
 stockholder.

 excessive extension. His legs perform | q narrow thrash, six beats to every double arm stroke, and his whole ac- | tion is rhythmic. He advances smooth ly and without check, shoulders pretty high over the water. and by riding on
 the hand which is forward he obtains a good run between strokes. His form l is almost faultless.

ELEVEN TAKEN IN MORNING RAID
Police Visited Apartments of Henry Aubrey at 199 North Main Street-Had Warrant For Him Keeper of Gamb- ling Place-Ten Young Men Found There Arrested as Frequenters. *ff

chase led to a room where there were two men, and there was no money In sight here A number of the men, when called upon for their names at police headquarters, gave hct1uous names The man who led Sergeant Kane the chase upstairs said he was Ben Walsh.
 The group of eleven was escorted down North Main street. attracting the attention of the late hangers out.
 The following were the names reg istered on the blotter the names or those charged with frequenting rang ing mostly from 25 to 95:
 Harry Rogers, John Dillon, Fred Williams, Frank Throw, George Dixon, Harry Hilman, Ben Walsh, Walter Johnson, Frank Elish, William Nit chell Michael Roach
 Bonds of $50 were quickly arranged for Aubrey by his friends, who com municated with Clerk Tibbits by tel ephone, but all the others in whose cases no warrants had been made out found themselves up against a hard and fast rule established by Judge Brown and they were not released on bonds till after sundOWn.
 Judge Browns rule that kept them in their cells at police headquarters has been his practice to refuse bail to anyone arrested on Sunday until sundOWn. Friends of the men accused of frequenting appealed to Prosecut- ing Attorney Hall in the early hours of Sunday morning to accept bail and also to Clerk Tibbits, but were re- ferred by them to the judge. Through Sunday also several prominent men including pr. J. J. Donohue Walter w. Lang and Attorney Thomas M. Shields argued with the judge to take bail, fbut the court official refused to alter his established practice for offenders arrested on Sunday. About o'clock, Clerk Tibbits began taking bail for the ten accused of frequenting, each securing his release. The amount in each case was fixed at $50. Attorney Shields was to appear for several of the accused in court and at his re- quest Judge Brown allowed the cases to go over to Tuesday, as MT. Shields was to be in Hartford Monday. MT. Aubrey protested to the police that they were breaking into private | whist game in the quarters of the Jeffersonian club. He is employed at the cutlery in Thamesville and a num- 1 Der of those arrested were also cut lery employees. The crowd was SUD- l posed to have been shooting craps when the police arrived.

Aubrey and eight of the men were found in one room on the second floor of the building, which was the front room of the apartment occupied by Aubrey, and two other men were found in another room two flights up when Sergeant John Kane chased after one of the fellows who fled upstairs when the police appeared.
 The building where the police made the raid upon information that gam bling was going on there, is the large frame building on the south side of Main street, which was occupied for many years by the grocery store of the late Timothy Kelly and is now occupied on the main floor by a gro- cery and fruit store and by four ten- ements on the floors above.

Kane, with Policemen McFaiden, Patrick Murphy and Casey comprised the party of officers. They were sta tioned so as to guard all avenues of escape when Sergeant Kane knocked on the door of the Aubrey apart ments. Aubrey opened the door a crack, enough to see who was there. Cheese it, the cops" shouted Au- brey and tried to hold the door against the officer, but Policeman Kane had his knee in the opening and the attempt to bar the policeman out was failure, although their entrance into the room was delayed. By the t'time they were in the room there was no money in sight, but according to the police the cloth on a long table in the room showed signs of having been hastily rumpled as if money might have been grabbed off it in a hurry.

Of Classical SIanq.

Let George di ;t," is a purely elassi- cal and historical phrase, according to Professor Oliver H. Richardson of the Department of History of the Uni versity of Washington.
 Louis XII, of France, who reigned at the beginning of the sixteenth century, had as his prime minister M. Geolges, the archbishop of Amboise an extraordinarily able and efficient gentleman devoted to the welfare of France. The kings attention was con- stantly directed toward Italian affairs and it was his custOme to refer all minor matters to the archbishop, witt leave to George"
 This impression became a proverl among the peasants and was probably the source of inspiration to some pres ent day punster."
