 LOBSTER CASE NoLLED. Moses H. Wilcox Paid Costs SIS and Was Let Go Saturday-No Evidence Against Him.

On recommendation of Prosecuting Attorney Hewitt the complaint against Moses H. Wilcox of Quiambaug. charged with violation of the lobster laws on information furnished by Game Wardens Walter M. Davis and ,H. Lynn Pease, was nolled by Judge W. A. Breed in Stonington town court Saturday morning upon payment of .. costs amounting to SIS. and 1t is an ticipated that this brings an end to l the investigations of Pease and Davis in that vicinity The motion to nolle was made at the request of Fisheries and Game Commissioners Geer and Davis and concurred in by Judge Herbert D. Rathbun and Attorney Abel P. Tanner, counsel for MT. VII eox. It Is possible, however, that another arrest will be made on in- formation from the same source with regard to Portuguese lobsterman in 1 Stonington.
 n recommending to the court Satur- | day morning that the case against MT. Wilcox be nolled upon payment of costs, Prosecuting Attorney Hewitt stated that all the eases as the result | of recent investigations had been prosecuted by him on complaint and | evidence furnished by the two game wardens, Pease and Davis. He said that the commissioners had offered to furnish a lawyer and prosecute but that he had told them that he Hntended to 6o his duty in acting as | prosecutor, as has been his custom and his duty In all other complaints 1 lodged with him for violations of the law within the Jurisdiction of the Ston- l angton court,
 1 He added aiso that the evidence that had bssn furnished him had not been strong enough te convict, ''In 1 the ease against Moses H. Wilcox, concluded Mr, Hewitt, the accused is | charged with giving Pease shert lob sters; but I am given to understand | that this evidence will be contradict ed by the witnesses that will be sum- moned in the defense, and l could not expect your honor to believe the evidence furnished by these two war dens against the evidence that would | be submitted by three respected cfti- zens of the town. and l therefore rec 1 ommend that the case be nolled upoI payment of costs"
 The court then allowed Commis-
 sioner Davis time to say that his work
 In the fulfllment of his duties as 6
 commissioner of fisheries and game
 was unpleasant in many respects. "It
 is hard" he said. ito get wardens
 whom we can trust explicitly; but can recommend both Davis and Peast
 as being absolutely honest. All
 wish is that ffsheremn would abide by | the law. l would much rather noi
 be obliged to investigate and bring J charges against any of them; but i i is fact that all along this shore ot
 New London county we have infor- mation furnished us about the taking ] of short Holsters and we intend to se'
 that the laws of this state be en- | forced wherever this is expected oi
 us. I have agreed to abide by thu
 decision of Attorney Hewitt in asking that this case be nolled."

PRESIDENT COMING TO CONVENTION
Will Speak to Atlantic Deeper Waterways Delegates at Fort Grswod on September 6, the Anniversary of the Cap ture of the Fort and the Founding of New LondonCov- ernor Wilson Invited to Attend

From historic old Fort Griswold, on Groton Heigths. opposite the city of New London, President w. H. Taft is to address the delegates and friends of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways asso- citation, on September the last day of the fifth annual convention of that body. The day will be of triple sig nificance to the New Londoners, for in addition to it being the anniversary of the capture of Fort Griswold, and the founding of the city of New Lon- don, it will close one of the most suc- cessful conventions of the waterway body yet held-if the present promis- ing indications are not amiss.
 The old fort should make quite a talking point with the president, for it was there that Benedict Arnold led the British troops up what is now Gro ton Heights, and angered by the vig- orous defense of the continental sol- diera. massacred every survivor after the surrender.
 The president Is expected to sail up Long Island sound from New York to New London on the Mayfower, He will be received by a committee of prominent New Londoners and water

In the June issue of The Monthly CycIopediR and Medical Bulletin of Philadelphia, edited by Charles E. de M. Satous. M.D., L.L-D., appears the fOlIOwinx;-
 Many physicians have come to real ize that caffeine as daily consumed In coffee and tea, has much to do with the causation of many annoying all ments that formerly were obscurely diagnosed and vaguely treated. 1t stands to reason that this alkaloid, when taken in daily doses of six or more grains, must exert a harmful &C., ton on the nervous circulatory, and digestive systems. Its action must also modify the action of other drugs prescribed by the physicians" Continuing, this article says:
 Postum, the well known cereal beverage, made of clean hard wheat and small percentage of molasses has been the means of effecting ar easy change from coffee and its harm ful timulant-caffeine-- whole some, harmless, nourishing beverage.
 Eminent analysts such as Prof J | w. Mallet of the University of Vir l ginia have proven that a cup of cof. | fee (only three-fifths coffee and tn, rest milk contains about 2k graini | of caffeine
