SIOO, 900 DAMAGE
 SUIT AGAINST MILFORD WOMAN


 New Haven, Aug. 1.-An attach ment for s1oe.OOo was filed in the Orange town clerks office yesterday afternoon in connection with a suit brought by Martin Zimmercan of New York against Mrs. Lillian Beers Wray of Milford, who is said to. be presi- dent of the Wray company, which operates a chain of nine grocery stores. Mrs. Wray recently attained some prominence through her secur- ing divorce from her first husband and marriage to Wray, who had also recently figured in a divorce action.
 The attachment of $100,000 is to cover damages of $s6, ,000 asked for in the suit. Zimmerman, who is a New York business man, alleges that he loaned Mrs Wray a large sum of money and brings this suit to secure payment. The attachment was plac- ed on several pieces of property in Orange yesterday.
 Mrs. Wray is living in Milford where she is well known. Zimmer- man, the plaintiff in the suit also has summer residence in Milford. The suit is returnabIe. to the New Haven superior court at the September term.
 Most of Mrs. Wray's grocery stores are said to be located through New York state. Her divorce from her first husband, a MT. Kennedy, and her s1bsequept marriage to Wray caused quite a surprise at the time.

NO TROUBLE AT DANCE.

Editor Farmer:
 In The Farmer of yesterday appeared a statement that a free-for-au fight took place at the Academy. Tuesday night, and that made complaint to the police. wish to state that we have not had any trouble at the Acad- emy at any time this summer or have we had any occasion to stop any peo- ple from any objectionable dancing on the floor, as the people who attend con- duct themselves in a. respectable man ner, as nothing but straight dancing is allowed. I called at the police depart rnent and asked about the complaint and was told they had no complaint, but did receive a telephone from a house at North and Brooklawn ave- nues that there was fight in front of the house. The officers sent out report ed that two men and two women who were calling at a house near the park were insulted by four men and one of the men with the women was beaten. but the four got away before the police arrived there. Hoping you will place us right in the matter, ] am

MIR. MELnEN ABOUT THE LAST" 1"
fFrom the San Francisco call.>

(From the San Francisco Call
 Forced out of his Hfe's work as he approaches old age, and under indict- merts, both civil and criminal, MT. Me11en's lot is an unhappy and mis- erable one. For this the system un- der which he was brought up is more to blame than he is personally, as the things he did were the things that seemed natural, proper and legal for him to do.
 MT. MelIen was for a, good many years a. familiar figure on the Pacific coast as he was for some years pres ident of the Northern Pacific, where he made such a. reputation as a com petent and efficient railroad man that he WIS picked by the late Pierpont Mor gan as the best man to reorganize and complete the New Haven system
 The truth is that MT. MelIen is about the last of the public be damned style of railroad president Brought up in that school he has not yet been able to fully comprehend that the old order has changed; that the public has learned to say the railroad be damned and has pretty nearly made some o1 them so.
